Epsilon Eridani as observed from local space.
Epsilon Eridani is a main sequence star in the constellation Eridanus. Astrographically, it is one of the nearest star systems to Earth.
Epsilon Eridani is currently property of the Sovereign Meritocratic States of Eridanus. This system is a core security system, due to its extensive military applications and proximity to high-traffic areas.
Epsilon Eridani connects to Delta Eridani and Luyten's Gate via conventional gate network. A jump bridge is also known to exist between this system and Luyten's Beacon.
This system operates a TOA network between its colonies in planetary orbit.
Planets
Epsilon Eridani has two settled planets, both of which orbit fairly close to the solar system's large inner asteroid disk.
Epsilon Eridani b is a gas giant. It has been colonized for hydrogen, helium, and ammonia harvesting. This planet is considered federal property under the Sovereign Meritocratic States of Eridanus, and all industrial developments thus far have been carried out by this authority. The AGI Task Force have independently operated military infrastructure over this planet throughout recent years.
The gate to Delta Eridani exists in high orbit over this planet.
Epsilon Eridani c is an ice giant. It has been colonized for methane, ammonia, and water harvesting. This planet is considered federal property under the Sovereign Meritocratic States of Eridanus, and all orbital developments thus far have been carried out by this authority exclusively.
The gate to Luyten's Star exists in high orbit over this planet.
