One of the earliest colonization targets. The system includes a number of gas giants rich in He-3. The first colonists were a desperate team of Genetekkers fleeing the Technocalypse; their ship, the Erwin Chargaff.
It has steadily lost population and trade, and now remains just another small red dwarf orbital culture. See also Lalande 21185.
