Tau 37 system
From Sirius Sector Neural Net Database
Tau 37 is a strange place, it rests at the northern tip of the Barrier Nebula, a pillar of ice and dust that defines Western Edge worlds of Sirius. The system's main features are the two ice fields at it's northern and southern quadrants, and it's unique solar arrangement. The system's "primary" sun, (that occupies its centre), is a white dwarf star, while its sister star, a Medium Green lies far above the solar plane, yet is almost directly above the Dwarf. The way this odd couple is portrayed on the star chart, and the Dwarf's unusual brightness, give the impression that the two stars are very close together, however they are not. Unusual, though is the pressense of an "Unknown Object", apparently at the center of the dwarf star, the nature and effect of this object is, as one may expect, unknown as it is impossible to observe due to it's proximity to the Star. There are only two human settlements in the system, the Zoner base Freeport 10 (the last Freeport to be constructed, after Freeport 9 in the equally remote Omicron Theta system), and Falkland base, owned and opperated by the IMG, though their business in the distant system remains a mystery.
The system also holds a jump hole that leads directly to the Outcast homeworld of Malta in the Omicron Alpha system, for this reason there are many Outcast ships in the system as they patrol their borders, and transport their shipments of Cardamine from Malta to the rest of Sirius.
