I think we were talking about warp drive distances and the races they showed.
This site gives the closest 26 stars to earth. all are with in 12 light years.

At 200 times the speed of light per year, they would be able to reach Centauri in about 8 days. IF the Klingons lived 80 hours from Earth then warp 5 would have to be faster then 200 times the speed of light per year. To reach Centauri in 80 hours or 3.5 days we are looking at about 420 times the speed of light per year. Now if the klingons live beyond Centauri and Rigil (4.3 light years) then warp 5 would have to be faster then then that.
This is if we try to use actual star systems in relation to the Earth.
This is if my thinking is correct. I could be way off base.
Riker is hosting the TNN allday TGN and he said by his time, that only 19% of the galaxy had been charted, not explored just charted. 17% during TOS.
So even the volcan's charts were not that large.
