System Data

The world orbits the companion star, by itself a rather feeble, low luminosity star. The companion has a very elliptical orbit around the primary, a giant red star.

History and background

At the time of the first colonists, the companion was at perihelion. Now the companion is at the farthest point from the primary and the world is a frigid, ice-covered ball of rock.

The scout base monitors the companion system changes in its progress around Lucifer.
