Misidentified Star[edit]

The primary star is listed on Imperial star charts as a white dwarf stellar remnant.

In actuality it is an orange main sequence.

A number of systems within the subsector have stars that have been given incorrect stellar designations on star charts, almost always being misreported as white dwarfs.

  • This consistent error appears to date back to the time of the Imperial First Survey.
  • Some authorities claim that it was a deliberate large scale effort to discourage interest in the region.

Ongoing study by the IISS has revealed the error, but this occurred after the publication of the Imperial Second Survey.

  • Verified data confirming the exact nature of the star would command premium prices.
