LTT

Also known by astronomers as Proxima Orionis, and by starfarers as Hunter's Star, LTT is best known as "the line," the place where Earth Republic and Praezorian space meet, and where the battle lines of the Praezorian Wars were often contended. In the era of peace with the Praezorians, LTT is essentially a shared system, with an asteroid base operated and mined by humans known as Cedalion. This star is part of the Pollux Corridor and is integral to the ERS Gryphon storyline.

A red dwarf that is planet-poor but portal-rich, LTT changed hands from humans to Praezorians several times, and is now the line between ER and Praezorian space. Three of its five portals lead to Praezorian systems; two lead to ER systems. Because of its strategic value to both cultures, there have been more recent moves to create a cooperative station operated by both the Earth Republic and the Minzera, and there have been pressures from both governments to settle parts of the system's asteroid belt. The Praezorian name for the star translates to “Hunter,” and the name has caught on for those who inhabit and do business in the system. Its thin, icy asteroid field is called the Messina Belt.

Dominus Station
Dominus is the human name for a Praezorian asteroid station with an official title that is unpronounceable. Dominus Station is the Minzera equivalent of a supply and trading outpost, though it is a notably uncomfortable and weird place for any human to be. The Minzera do their best to provide services and "entertain," largely by hiring human contractors to provide both services. Those contractors are typically members of the even weirder One Galactic Order cult, a group of humans who have converted to the Minzera religion.

Cedalion Station
A burgeoning settlement on the rocky asteroid Cedalion of about 3000 people, bearing the asteroid’s name. Cedalion comprises commercial concerns, extensive asteroid mining, an enormous black market, and several small religious cults seeking refuge from the Earth Republic, most notably the Homeworlder cult Heirs of Gaia. The Cedalion settlement burrows deep into the asteroid, but a tough barrier of rock provides safe harbor and repair for vessels traveling through the Pollux Corridor. Cedalion underwent major political upheavals in 2157, during which it experienced extreme violence and elected new leaders. It was additionally the victim of Pixie's Chicken and Fish's rampant and aggressive food service programs, adulteration, and nutrient deficiencies, while they were unable to bring in fresh food supplies, and corruption caused by the Kai Family from Sirius.
