Tau Ceti I
White Dwarf · Sector E8
Compact star representing the final stage of stellar evolution. Extreme gravitational fields may affect navigation systems.
Two asteroid belts ring the system, one inside the other. Which stations, gates and relays stand here changes hour by hour, as the factions contest the galaxy.

- Psi Trianguli XI Nu Crystalline moon with subsurface oceans beneath the ice shell. Enemy forces may engage on sight - avoid unless absolutely necessary. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Primary food production makes this world valuable for supply operations.
Wormholes
- Quarelle V Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector E7, the Quarelle V system: a strong, steady throat. Compact star with a habitable zone close to its surface.
- Omicron Ursae VI Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector E5, the Omicron Ursae VI system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Compact star representing the final stage of stellar evolution.
Phenomena
- Myrrhen Storm A magnetic storm wandering the system: shields flicker and hulls take a beating inside it. It slows any construction it passes over.
