Astronomical data
Alpha Canaris is a moderately-sized yellow star.

Alpha I has no atmosphere and is geologically dead. An asteroid belt separates it from Alpha II.

Alpha II has a highly poisonous atmosphere and is very geologically active.

Another asteroid belt separates Alpha III from the mini-system of Alpha IV and V.

Alpha IV and V are gas giants that slowly revolve around each others as they orbit Alpha Canaris.


 * The Federation FASA supplement claims this system contains two Class M worlds but doesn't identify that other world.
