This is a non official and not clearly defined division of space, measuring space distances of no more than 2 light years.

There is no Science Corps Astrographic Institute designation (SCAI)

It is officially only used by the Union Post Office in very dense polpulated regions or star systems like Sol, where objects as far as one light year form the star are still considered Solar system objects, or in systems with more than one star. Where star system locations may be confusing.

For example Alpha Centauri and the two companion stars.

The Union Post Office has special rates for "Neighborhood deliveries". Similar rates apply for other delivery and logistic services. Matter Radio and Trans Spatial Tunnel connections are also charged by "Neighborhood rates" . Union Police has a Neighborhood watch program where suspicious space traffic can be reported.
