The 82 G. Eridani system, also known as the Leeah System, is a star system located about 20 light years away from Earth that was formally colonised in 3566 by the Commonwealth-led 82 G. Eridani Exploration Fleet.

The core star of the system is a main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G8 - qualifying it informally as a yellow subdwarf - and emits a yellow-white light comparable to the Solar System's Sun. The star has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.254, and thus is visible from the Solar System with the naked eye.

Planets[edit | edit source]

The system features a sizeable collection of five super-earths and one gas dwarf all contained between two rings of orbital dust. The system's worlds are most well known for their closeness to their parent star, each being saturated in an intense stellar light year round, bringing their equilibrium temperatures to about 388 degrees Kelvin (115 °C), thus demanding all settlements to be climate-controlled.

  • Caine (82 G. Eridani g) - Semi-molten rocky planet with an Earth-mass of 1.03 and a surface temperature of 660 K (387 °C).
  • Kari (82 G. Eridani b) - A hot rocky planet with an Earth-mass mass of 2.82 and a surface temperature of 508 K (235 °C).
  • Zakeriah (82 G. Eridani c) - A hot rocky planet with an Earth-mass of 2.52 and a surface temperature of 388 K (115 °C).
  • Elliat (82 G. Eridani d) - A rocky planet with an Earth-mass of 3.52.
  • Nauberg (82 G. Eridani e) - Rocky planet with an Earth-mass of 4.77.
  • Leeah (82 G. Eridani f) - A gas dwarf with an Earth-mass of 10.26. Leeah is currently classified as an Interstellar Zone by the Interstellar Governed Space Authority, and the gas dwarf is the largest point of interest in the system.
