Barnard’s Star

Barnard’s Star, a red dwarf, is the next-closest star to Sol after the Alpha Centauri system.

Farther away from Sol, tensions between the various factions that humanity has splintered into post Catastrophe are starting to fray at the tenuous fabric of peace. The Consortium and the Gaule Protectorate orbit each other wearily, in a very literal sense as their respective stations are the two farthest from the dwarf planet, Van de Camp. Between them, the first Freebooter and Independant stations encountered beyond Sol keep a watchful eye, representing the first vestiges of pioneer-like and perhaps slightly more rebellious, independent spirits among the farther flung survivor’s communities.

Just before the Catastrophe, a Consortium vessel and a Gaule frigate fired at each other at the Barnard’s Star Jump Gate. Their battle also damaged the station. To this day no one is entirely certain what happened… or who started it.
