Vega Sirenti is an uninhabited star system in the Menthar Corridor.
Approximately fifty light years from Deep Space Ten, the system's core is a main sequence star of approximately two solar masses in the last quarter of its life before it transitions to a red giant, about two billion years from now. As such, Vega Sirenti is an older star system for our current generation of stars.
Vega Sirenti possesses a very powerful magnetic field, a phenomenon still being studied.
Planetary Bodies
Vega Sirenti 1: A small, rocky planet with a dense atmosphere and heavy greenhouse-gas conditions. Current surveys show it as uninteresting, a Venus-like world incapable of supporting sentient life.
Vega Sirenti 2: A planet that merits further study. Evidence indicates that it was once in the hot end of the habitable zone of the Vega Sirenti star, but as the star has aged and its energy output has gradually increased, it is suspected that what may have once been a Class L (marginally habitable) planet became Class H (generally uninhabitable) approximately a billion years ago. No Menthar artifacts are currently known to exist on Vega Sirenti 2.
Vega Sirenti 3: A Class M world previously inhabited by the Menthar, sparse archaeological ruins have been discovered here, dated at approximately nine hundred years old. Right in the middle of Vega Sirenti's habitable zone, it is suspected that the planet, relatively temperate now, would have been very cold when Vega Sirenti 2 might have been habitable.
Vega Sirenti 4: A class J gas giant made up primarily of hydrogen and helium, nothing interesting has currently been discovered about Vega Sirenti 4.
Vega Sirenti 5: A class T gas ultragiant with a large ring, Vega Sirenti 5 has a diameter of approximately 70,000,000 kilometers. It has a high gravitational pull compared to most class T planets, suggesting that the elements at its core are very dense.
Kuiper Belt / Asteroid Field: Nothing unusual is known to exist in the star system's rocky belts. As Vega Sirenti is an older star system, many of the loose rocks in the system have been pulled into orbit or collision with Vega Sirenti 5. As such, navigating the Vega Sirenti system is considered easy.
