dewlineYes, this is for the Edge of Darkness project.
Right now, I'm re-reading Star Charts and Stellar Cartography
1. GJ 3414
2. HD 10226
The latter is 150+ ly below "galactic equatorial". The former is 21 ly above it.
Other considerations for my choice?
Needs to be close to the core systems because of events in the DS9 episode "In the Pale Moonlight" where Betazed is taken by Dominion forces. Quoting Memory Alpha: "With Betazed captured, other nearby worlds, including Vulcan, Tellar, Alpha Centauri, and Andor, were at risk of Dominion attack."
(If you've got those systems within striking distance, Sol's in range, too, right?)
Also, it needs to be on the "roads" between those systems and Bajor/Cardassia's neighbourhood, which is roughly 100 ly above "galactic equatorial". If you look up from Earth towards the Ursa Major-Draco constellation border with a strong enough telescope, you should see the alleged home stars of those planets.
