Epsilon Indi is a
planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star. The system lies in
the Indus Constellation of the Inner/Sol Region.
Epsilon Indi is located only 11.8 light years
from Earth, it is one of closest habitable
systems to Earth. Epsilon Indi A is a main
sequence star that is orbited by a binary brown
dwarf system (Epsilon Indi Ba/Bb) at a distance
of almost 1500 AU.
Epsilon Indi's primary planet is Indra.
Despite its closeness to Earth, colonizing Indra
was a slow process. The planet is covered
in various mosses and lichens, the planetary
winds blow spores across much of the surface.
When breathed in by unacclimated humans, the
spores can cause severe allergic reactions.
The planet also has a thick atmosphere with
lower oxygen than Earth, making it difficult to
breath if the human body hasn't been adjusted to
the conditions.
The planet's environment made any large-scale
colonization efforts impossible, because it
takes many years to acclimate to the
environment. Due to the these factors, the
majority of Indus's population was born on the
planet, rather than immigrating there,
