Sigma-17 is a Border World system that lies outside the Sigma-19 system. The system is known for the amount of alien organisms, and have attracted at least two corporations, Samura Heavy Industries and Cryer Pharmaceuticals, to establish bases there. The sole jump gate is located at the northeast side of the system, and connects the Sigma-19 system.
On the criminal side, the Corsairs and the Outcasts frequent both bases, and are constantly harassing the Atka Research Station.
The Zoners had previously established a base in the system, Freeport 7, which was destroyed during the Nomad events of 800 AS. Its ruins can still be found.
It is noteworthy as being the only instance of a trinary-star system in the Sirius Sector. The stars are one medium and two dwarfs (Green, green and blue, respectively).
