Description (Specifications)[edit]

Gamma Leporis spins around its own axis once in every six standard days.

The Gamma Leporis star system lies approximately 8.9pc from Terra, and is located in a Rimward/Rimtrailing direction from Terra at bearing 226.79o Galactic Longitude and -24.27o South Galactic Latitude.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Gamma Leporis is the primary star of the world Chernozem/Gemini (Solomani Rim 1836).


During the early years of the Interstellar Wars between the Terran Confederation and the Ziru Sirka, the Near Boötes Cluster was largely inaccessible to Terran colonists due to the presence of a jump-3 gap dividing the Gemini Subsector into a coreward "outback" region already settled by Terran outposts and an unexplored rimward half, only accessible by way of the Saris-Yenisei Bridge until the Terran invention of J-3 drives during the Eighth Interstellar War. Gamma Leporis was first surveyed in -2200 and soon after Chernozem was settled by a Russian Consortium.
