  Wolf 424 AB
Wolf 424 A and B are not visible to the naked eye, either combined or individually, but the smaller companion star may be one of the most active (UV-Ceti type) Flare Stars -- Star B is designated FL Virginis -- known (Thomas J.
The stars were discovered by Max (Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius) Wolf (1863-1932), a pioneer of astrophotography who discovered hundreds of variable stars and asteroids, and about 5,000 nebulae by analyzing photographic plates and developing the "dry plate" in 1880 and the "blink comparator" in 1900 with the Carl Zeiss optics company in Jena, Germany.
Subsequently, new measurements of the relative positions of the components of Wolf 424 AB (made with the Fine Guidance Sensors of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1996), however, indicated that both are actually low-mass red dwarf stars (Torres et al, 1999).

Discovered by Max Wolf in 1918, Wolf 359 is an extremely faint red dwarf that for 25 years was the least luminous star known.
It is also a flare star with the variable star designation CN Leonis, and in 2001 became the first star, other than the Sun, to have its corona registered by near-optical ground-based detection when an emission line of highly ionized iron (Fe XIII at 3,388 Å) was reported.
In the Star Trek universe, Wolf 359 was the scene of a battle in 2367 between the Federation and the Borg.

The Battle of Wolf 359 took place in 2367 in the Wolf 359 system, some 8 light years from Earth, between the forces of the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective.

Also, in "Dark Frontier", the Borg Queen even claimed that she was present at the battle, a fact seemingly confirmed by Picard's memories of her seen in Star Trek: First Contact.

Wolf 359, the site of the planet simulated in this episode, is a real location.
It lies within the astronomical boundaries of Leo, but is not part of the visible constellation - with a visible magnitude of 13, it cannot be seen without a telescope, even though it is the third known closest star to our solar system (only the Alpha Centauri system and Barnard's Star are closer).
Wolf 359 is the star's most common name; it has alternate designations from other star catalogues: CN Leonis, GCTP 2553, GJ 406, G 045-020, LTT 12923, LFT 750 and LHS 36.

Unlike the traditional science fiction artist, the Wolf Pack has abandoned canvas, brush, and tubes of color for the pixels of the computer monitor.
If there is one wish for the Wolf Pack this writer has, it is that they will discard the science fiction worlds others have created and work their graphic spells to bring forth new unexplored realms.
