dewlineSince the topic came up in in last week's episode of Star Trek: Discovery...thanks to the suggestion of the Emperor Emeritus of the Terran Empire...which was rightly condemned by the rest of the people at that particular table.

50-100 lightyears. And that's even before we get into the discussion of subspace effects propagating far faster compared to normal-space damage-waves, as established in Trekkish lore in movies VI and XI.
Noting also this list:

Alpha Lupi, cited in Michael Burnham's backstory in "The Red Angel", is definitely on that list. A good thing that it's about 460-465 lightyears away from us. Eta Lupi/Cerberus is about 150 lightyears closer to us...but still at least as safe, given current theory on supernovae.
(Would IK Pegasi be in Breen territory? Apparently not, going by Geoffrey Mandel and Jed Whitten. More likely, it's on the far side of what the former had pegged as Breen space in 2002.)
