SIMBAD Catalogue Entry
The primary star of the Niecti system, surrounded by the “Sunfire” solar orbit stations harvesting power to supply the FTL ships that visit, and the “Sunflower” agricultural stations.
Numerous other stations exist such as solar monitors, and FTL communications.
The Alliance are not the only ones with FTL communications - the “pirate radio” communications in the Tantalk Cluster over Jittania offer a a way to circumvent Alliance communications blackouts or restrictions.
Some wonder how long remains before an Alliance warship is tasked to deal with this situation.
Colonies
None in orbit over Hipparcos 1368 itself.
Estimated 99 established colonies throughout the system.
Outposts
Three hundred seventeen charted outposts exist across the system including the following eighteen outposts orbiting Hipparcos 1368 itself:
- Sunfire Stations - recharge / refurb the jump ships
- Metxibatu (MET-shi-bah-too) Entry Port
- Sunflower Stations - solar orbit agriculture stations
Possibly hundreds of additional but uncharted outposts exist throughout the Kasama Inner Asteroid Belt, estimated from on-going Alliance Navy surveys of ship movements.
