Kethis
Yellow Dwarf · Sector H4
Sun-like star providing optimal conditions for planetary development. Main-sequence stability indicates prime real estate for colonization.
It has no asteroid belt: only a few stray clumps of rock. Which stations, gates and relays stand here changes hour by hour, as the factions contest the galaxy.

Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
Wormholes
- Gamma Lyrae IV Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector G4, the Gamma Lyrae IV system: a faint, flickering tear. Medium-sized star in the prime of its stellar evolution.
- Ysmere XII Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector H3, the Ysmere XII system: a strong, steady throat. Dim red star providing gentle warmth to its planetary system.
- Kethis I Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector H5, the Kethis I system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Massive, hot star burning through its fuel at an accelerated rate.
- Ekhara XII Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector I4, the Ekhara XII system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Ancient stellar body with billions of years of remaining fuel.
Phenomena
- The Ysmere Cradle A stellar nursery: protostars kindling in a glowing knot of gas and dust. The rocks nearby are rich, and the rare goods trade follows them.
- Pulsar H4-347 A spinning neutron star sweeping twin beams of radiation across the system. Nothing is built near it, and pilots keep out of the beams' reach.
Relays
- Warning to all pilots: raiders out of Red Eyrie have been seen on the lanes past Phi Eridani IX. Travel in convoy.
- Assay office: Magnetite Knot 87 graded at 6. Mining rights by contract only.
