Promethean Reach Red Dwarf Star
Type: M8 V Red Dwarf
Radius: 2.62 x 105 km (0.38 of Sol)
Mass: 4.97 x 1029 kg (0.25 of Sol)
Temperature: 2200 K
Luminosity: 1.14 x 1024 W (< 0.01 of Sol)
Ecosphere:Between 0.6 and 0.8 AU
Location: Bellatrix Antares Sector

This is a relatively small star system with a single planet which has been lightly colonized by two different groups. The groups have signed a treaty in 2358 which forms the basis for trade between colonies, shared responsibilities in governance for events of global importance, and a general non-aggression pact. There is a public advisory within the Federation and the Serenity Concord that it is advised unarmed vessels and persons do not enter the system without escort as the system is designated as a war zone.

Eirene

A large agricultural colony on Eirene
Class: H
Distance: 1.02 x 107 km (0.07 AU)
Period: 130 Days
Radius: 10,569.76 km (1.66 times Earth)
Gravity: 1.7 G

This is a desert world with a handful of agricultural and industrial colonies totally around 50,000 people, there is virtually no surface water (less than 1%) but there are extensive underground aquifers and moderately sized polar ice caps. The average surface temperature is -15 C and a surface pressure of 91.4 kPa or 0.90 atmospheres. The surface itself is generally cold fluctuating between roughly -10 and 40 C. The dry conditions cause problems agricultural endeavors and the agricultural collective, Harvester's Alliance, has been in a dangerous conflict with the Foundry Compact. The Compact technically settled the planet first in 2342 while the Alliance settled on a different continent in 2358. Initially both groups worked together as some minor terraforming was in their best interests. This involved increasing the relative humidity and bringing the nitrogen / oxygen levels into a better balance and both groups worked together until 2380 when the Compact came under new leadership. Since 2380 the colonies have been in a state of cold-war, tensions broke into violence in 2386 and an armed conflict has been escalating ever since. There are calls within the Federation to send aid immediately, but the Federation is timid to deploy aid so close to the Romulan boarder. The Serenity Concord has sent medical aid to the planet, but latest report the supplies were exhausted far earlier than expected.

Neither colony has an abundance of space vessels and both need them desperately to trade with the outside world for things they cannot produce themselves. As such, so far, space transporters have been safe from attack but it is advised that landing on the planet be avoided and both parties be contacted prior to assuming orbit.
