Arcturus
|
Arcturus is a
planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star. The system lies in
the Bootes Constellation of the Inner/Sol Region.
Arcturus is a red giant with a mass similar to
Sol's, Arcturus can be viewed as an advanced
version of Sol. Arcturus's primary planet
was the one of the earliest settlements outside
Earth by the Terrans. Waves of colony
ships travelled to Arcturus looking to build a
large-scale, permanent population.
Arcturus's primary planet Nubu is a habitable
world, Nabu experienced swift growth shortly
after the start of Interstellar Colonization by
the Terrans. Colonists were drawn to
Arcturus by the plant life and pleasant
enviroment on Nabu. Plant life is
extensive and luxuriant, Nabu's surface is
covered in dense trees and ferns.
