 UAS Argelander's Star

Also known as Gliese 176, this dim star lies around 30.7 light-years from Sol. [1]

First surveyed for Earth by Captain Roger Summer UE fleet in 2157 OTT.

The star was host to five planets, one within the habitable zone.

The planets are:

 * Lang's planet
 * Pasinetti, planet
 * Fracassini, planet
 * Johnson 's planet
 * Wright's planet

While Lang's planet is a very hot world, Pasinetti (planet) has liquid water and a primitive biosphere of microbes. Fracassini (planet) a super Jupiter with over 30 large moons. (Of which Kenneth-moon is the largest and home to a complex bioshere)

Known as Argelander's Star the system is only 30 Light years from Sol and "in line" with the "Road to Ulta " and thus became one of the stop over systems between Terra and Ulta.

The system today is a core system with well developed communites. It is tied into the Space Train Network and as of 5050 is part of the Transmatter Tunnel (TMT ) (Long Range) connection between Sol and Ulta.

[1]  It is located in the south central part (4:42:55.8+18:57:29.4, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Taurus, the Bull -- west of Epsilon Tauri, north of Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri), and southeast of Elnath (Beta Tauri).
