What are pointer stars?
Pointer stars are stars which are used to find an area of the sky. For example, you might be looking for a dim galaxy or small star. You can use two bright stars on a map, find those in the sky, and then find the approximate position of what you are trying to look at by using the location and spacing of the more obvious pointer stars.

What star system is Alpha Proxima from?
Alpha Proxima is a term used in the Star Trek universe as, apparently, an alternative name for Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to our Solar System. The term "Alpha Proxima" is not used outside literature. Astronomers refer to the two stars of the binary star system closest to our Solar System as Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri. (The link below to Wikipedia talks about the star system. The other link (Proxima Centauri) refers to references within Star Trek.) The Alpha Centauri System is a triple star system with Alpha Centauri AB being a double Star directly gravitationally bound to each other. Proxima Centauri is a much smaller star further away but it is assumed they are gravitationally associated with each other. Perhaps they are refering to this Star when using the term Alpha Proxima.
