Alpha Draconis (α Draconis / 11 Draconis) is a giant star of "A0III" spectral class located 309 light-years from Earth at 14h 04m 23.43s right ascension (RA), in the constellation of Draco. It is distinctive for having been the northern pole star in ancient times for older Earth civilizations. It has an absolute magnitude of —1.21 and a visual magnitude of 3.67, and in the visual electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, is thus 2.40 times brighter than the Sun (Sol).

Alpha Draconis is host to a planetary system, and one of its planets would be colonized by the UNSC.
