History[]
The planet was considered by Dr. Beverly Crusher and Commander Data as a possible home for the Boraalans following Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko's unauthorized transport of the group aboard the USS Enterprise-D. It was closest to the climate of Boraal II, their former home; however, the sector in which the planet was located in was the site of constant border disputes. This fact disqualified the planet from consideration as the new home of the Boraalans. Ultimately, Vacca VI was chosen instead. (TNG: "Homeward")

Background information[]
This planet's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union as seen in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
According to the script, the pronunciation for Draygo was "DRAY-go". [1]
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 47) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the primary of the Draygo system was a G-class star. In the late 24th century, this was an independent system.
