A System or Star System is an astrographic term for a star and its family of planets and satellites.

Also known as a Stellar System or a World-System among other terms.

Description (Specifications)

The term system denotes a major world and its associated star, plus any other planets, satellites, asteroids, and other bodies in a significant gravitational relationship with the source star.

Also includes all bands of system including the close inner system and the far outer system of Oort clouds and orbiting comets or other astrographic objects.

Star System Locations

Includes the mainworld, satellites, and all other worlds within a system.

In the case of polystellar systems, it may include all stars and their associated worlds.

Star System Locations
Type	World Band	Orbit	Distance	Location/s	Solar Region	Grav. Relationship	Remarks
Star	Very Rare	0 (zero)	Center (zero)	Star	Star	Source	Astronomic but not astrographic centerpoint.
Inner System	Inner Worlds	1 to 6	Up to 42 Light Minutes	HZ Neg	Heliosphere	Significant gravity	Warmer Worlds
HZ	Goldilocks Zone	Variable	Variable	HZ	Heliosphere	Significant gravity	Just right. Goldilocks Zone. Liquid water. Ideal environment for conventional life.
Outer System	Outer Worlds	7 to 12	Up to 42 Light Hours	HZ Plus	Heliosphere	Significant gravity	Colder worlds.
Remote System	Rogue Worlds	13 to 144	Up to 2 Light Weeks	Remote	Heliosphere to Heliopause	Insignificant gravity	Kuiper Belt. Trans-Neptunian Objects.
Far System	Rogue Worlds	145 to 3.27 parsecs	To limits of an area of 1 Parsec volumetric cube	Far System	Interstellar Medium	Very weak gravity	Oort Cloud/s. Hill Sphere.

Polystellar Systems

Polystellar star systems with one to six stars can be found within Charted Space. Polystellar star systems with larger numbers are considerably rarer.

History & Background (Dossier)

The IISS or its counterparts typically only have fairly comprehensive star charts for inner systems. Outer systems typically remain very roughly charted or nearly uncharted.
