The star Muphrid (otherwise known as Saak and Eta Boötis) is a yellow-white subgiant star of spectral type G0.

Description (Specifications)

Muphrid is only about 1.0 pc distant from the star Arcturus (Alpha Boötis), and an observer in the Muphrid system would observe Arcturus with a visual magnitude of −4.5 (which is as bright as Venus as seen in the Terran night sky).

• The Muphrid star system is approximately 11.4pc from Terra, and is located in a Coreward/Coretrailing direction from Terra at bearing 005.3^o Galactic Longitude and +73.0^o North Galactic Latitude.

History & Background (Dossier)

• (Non-Canonical): Though it lies along roughly the same bearing from the Sol system, Muphrid is NOT the primary star of the world Muphrid/Linnae (Leonidae 1220), which is nearly 10 times as far away as the star Eta Boötis.
• (Non-Canonical): Based on the specifications listed above, it is likely that Muphrid is the primary star of the world Aqilat/Banasdan (Solomani Rim 2820), which lies 1.0pc distant from Arcturus and orbits a G0 IV star.
