109 Piscium is a yellow hued G-type main-sequence star located about 106 light years away in the constellation Pisces. It has a mass similar to that of the Sun, and has a higher abundance of iron.

Planetary system

On November 1, 1999 the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting this star was announced.[9][10]

The star rotates at an inclination of 69+21
−26 degrees relative to Earth.[7] It is probable that this planet shares that inclination.[11][12]

In the 1983 Star Trek novel The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane, the USS Enterprise intentionally causes 109 Piscium to go supernova by entering warp drive too close to the star, in order to destroy a group of pursuing Klingon vessels. Captain Kirk experiences an uneasy sense that he may "get in trouble with Starfleet" over this arguably rash course of action.
