"Star group" was used early in Trek (e.g. "the Talos Star Group" [TOS "The Cage Pt.I" = "The Menagerie")
Cultural notes:
"There are poor planets in the Klingon systems, we must push outward if we are to survive." (Mara, TOS "Day of the Dove")
Never used in a sentence, but this one phrase is known:
telun Hovtay'
the Tellun System
I.e. the star system in a border area also claimed by the Klingon Empire containing the Class-M planets Elas ({'elas}), the inner planet, and Troyius ({Doy'yuS}), the outer planet. (TOS "Elaan of Troyius")
