Groene Son

Groene Son

First Union claimed Star System in Barnard’s Galaxy. It is the furthest distance Union claimed Star system (as of 5020) and has no physical connection to Main Union Space. (A series of Galnet Repeater Buoys maintain GalNet Contact).

The star was named by Captain Jan Van Houten using an old Earth language (Dutch) calling it Groene Son (Green Sun) It is a GIIIa Star very similar to Sol.

Note:

 In  5020 the Barnard Expedition reached NGC 6822 and established an Union Outpost called Barnard Base at a planet in the first solar system they surveyed. So far no sentient life has been encountered, but the artefacts and ruins of an advanced civilisation[1] (estimated TL 9 ) was found on several planets. An ancient gate (active) [2] was also discovered (TL 11 ) that does not conform to the other gates that belong to the Local group gate network. The gate is clearly of another culture and substantially smaller. The USS Berotogus, a Union cruiser with an all volunteer crew passed through the gate and has not returned as of yet.
