Aldos

Aldos is the least massive and brightest star of the ternary Aliga System. Due to its extreme distance, Aldos is able to hold onto a pair of terrestrial planets unlike its more massive partners, but these planets are both uninhabitable and lacking an atmosphere. Being in the Aliga System, Aldos and its mining worlds are under the control of the Krask Hegemony, although the Falacian Dominion presence at Alsanter is uncomfortably nearby.
==Planetary System==
=== Mant ===
Mant is the innermost and smallest world orbiting Aldos. Despite Aldos' low luminosity and mass, it still manages to orbit beneath the habitable zone. This combined with its large size makes it very difficult to use for anything other than resource extraction and a gravity anchor for habitats. 
== Romolt ==
Romolt is best described as Mant but bigger and colder. Another terrestrial world with no atmosphere and too small a sphere of influence for moons, Romolt is covered in rock, ice, and a variety of useful metals which were partly mined out during the days of the Falacian Dominion's control over the system. Its materials are being used in part to assemble the Nova Engine around Ekla. 
== Physical characteristics ==
Aldos is a rare type of red dwarf which has a mostly calm solar cycle, unlike most examples of the class which occasionally emit lethal flares. If it actually had any habitable planets this would be very useful. It rotates very slowly, as most stars tend to do due to magnetic field line drag.
