Trebia is a star system located in the Apien Crest cluster, and is the home system of the turian species. Contained within the system is the homeworld of the turian race, Palaven, and was the centerpiece of early turian attempts to explore space. During the prothean cycle, the Prothean Empire established a research and observation facility on Aventen to watch over and run scientific observations on Venator turians, where they considered the possibility of uplifting them; however, the Reapers invaded before they could. The Reapers briefly swept through the Trebia system before leaving, adhering to their rules of not exterminating pre-spaceflight civilizations. Close to fifty thousand years later, the newly united Imperial Palaven launched its first mission manned mission to Aventen in 683 BCE, where they discovered the ruins of a prothean facility. After a large-scale civil war, the Turian Hierarchy established dominance over Trebia.

The Trebia system was invaded by Reaper forces on June 4, 2186 CE, just two days after the fall of Earth and Khar'Shan. The Trebia system remained under sustained siege for the rest of the Reaper War, until being lifted in September with the Crucible firing. Trebia was occupied by the Galactic Dominion after the Post-Apocalyptic War, but returned to turian control after the Dominion Civil War. It is now the core system of the Neo-Turian Empire.

The system is named for the Battle of the Trebia, the first major battle of the Second Punic War between Carthage and the Roman Republic in 218 BCE.
