Alpha Canarai System
Star system located in the Odyros galaxy, which is owned by the Hyperion Federation.
The Alpha Canarai system is merely 3.4 ly approximately coreward from the Tiact System, the Suon home system. This was one of the first worlds that the United Nations of Tebburus had to fight the Saelian Coalition over during the suon-saelian war long ago. In memory of this war, a large war memorial station was constructed in orbit around Alpha Canarai B. In more current times, these 2 species have ended up allies and are now both key founding members of the HF.
The Alpha Canarai system is actually a trinary system. There is a large, bright class A star, a smaller and dimmer class G star and another, much smaller star, which is small enough to seemingly orbit Alpha Canarai A (but large enough to impact its orbit and classify the system as trinary). These stars are named, respectively, Alpha Canarai A, Alpha Canarai B, Alpha Canarai C.
This system is the closest system to Tiact that features a naturally habitable planet. Alpha Canarai B III. This world had no intelligent life before the Saelian Coalition settled on it though.
It is also valuable because of the many opportunities for star lifting. It has 3 stars. 2 of these stars have asteroid belts orbiting them too. These are mostly mined for resources. As these asteroid belts are very defendable, the HF has placed a number of defence platforms inside the belt and also turned some of the asteroids themselves into defence stations, intending them to ambush any enemy that does enter the field.
