A star system is the term given to the area containing and surrounding a star. This space is represented within a notional in-game cubic light year of the Milky Way and includes celestial bodies that orbit it, such as planets, comets, asteroids, moons and planetary nebulae. Star systems can consist of more than one star, e.g. binary stars like Sirius.
Notes
- In real life astronomy, star systems are clusters of multiple stars that orbit each other. The in-game star systems are mapped using sources including those of NASA where celestial bodies are depicted orbiting a central point, as planetary systems.
