## Star systems

* Fredricks 855: 20.3 light-years from Earth.
* Seligman 505: 12.5 light-years from Earth.
* Gamma Star System:
* Surandi Star Cluster: Home cluster of the Ghet and Ximenosha, approximately 750 light years away from the human solar system and 21 degrees off the galaxy plane.
* Lost Worlds of the Seraphs: missing worlds concept. Several planets related to the progenitors of the jump relays have been missing many hyperspace scouts are trying to find them constantly. They are rumored to exist within the one-thousand light year bubble between Sol 3 and the Library.

### Seligman 505 (Offworld)

**Seligman 505** is a three planet system orbiting a M0V-type red dwarf star approximately 12.5 light-years from the planet Earth, located in the constellation Pisces. The mass of the star is 60% of the sun's while the luminosity is 7.2%. The system was a target of the Operation Exodus interstellar human continuity project.

#### History of observations

The star appears in many stellar catalogs as early as the 1890s.

However, it remained largely unobserved until the first extrasolar planet was discovered in 1995.

Astronomer C. Seligman studied the star looking for the tell tale signs of a planetary system during the 2000s, advancements continued well into the 2010s when the first planet was discovered which became Seligman 505A. He continued to observe the system where two more planets came to be known and identified as Seligman 505B and 505A. The news swept the world when Seligman 505B was given an E.S.I. of 0.80 becoming the nearest most habitable planet to Earth within twenty light-years.

It wasn't until the 2050s, when the Habitable Planet Imager (HaPI) was able to directly photograph the planets that the scientific community began to take greater interest in the system.

Nearly a century after the first photographs were taken of the system, Seligman 505B was identified as a target for Vikram Salam's initiative Operation Exodus. In 2165, the Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was launched en route for the system, the journey would take 126 years.

#### Planetary system

 B (Meridian)
 A (Purgatario)
 Ab (Empyrean)

#### Paradiso

Traces of sodium in the atmosphere give **Paradiso** its overall dark grey color, but it is otherwise a typical hydrogen-helium gas giant. An abundance of water vapor in the upper atmosphere account for its white clouds.

Capital headquarters is located in New Alexandria. Most starships groups are located here. Human sphere of influence, Epsilon Eridani, New Yakaterinburg. Many of the first colony ships to arrive on New Manhatan were solar sail sleeper ships that traveled at 25% of the speed of light which took the ships 40 years to reach the host star. The ships having taken off in the late 22nd or early 23rd centuries. Upon arrival the inhabitants, a group of 10,000, the planet was seen as 5 degrees colder on average than the planet Earth. The planet is 2 times larger than the Earth, but the gravity is only 1.25g. But harbored breathable oxygen, nitrogen and argon. The planet however, lacked a significant moon, instead was being trailed by 3 captured asteroids. By the 25th century and the abandonment of the planet Earth, New Manhattan has become an oasis, political crucible and a beacon of civilization. It is now seen as "Earth II" by most analysts.

## Names

* Atlantis- name for an oceanic world.
* Asphodel- In Greek mythology, the **Asphodel Meadows** or **Asphodel Fields** (Ancient Greek: ἀσφοδελὸς λειμών, romanized: *asphodelòs leimṓn*) was a section of the ancient Greek underworld where the majority of ordinary souls were sent to live after death. It was one of the three main divisions of the underworld along with Elysium, where righteous souls were granted eternal reward, and Tartarus, where vicious souls were granted eternal punishment. In his *Odyssey*, Homer locates the Fields of Asphodel close to the Land of dreams. He further refers to them as the dwelling place of the spirits of men who have abandoned their earthly labors.

* Lemuria- **Lemuria** (/lɪˈmjʊəriə/), or **Limuria**, was a continent proposed in 1864 by zoologist Philip Sclater, theorized to have sunk beneath the Indian Ocean, later appropriated by occultists in supposed accounts of human origins. The theory was discredited with the discovery of plate tectonics and continental drift in the 20th century.
