Chi Eridani

The Chi Eridani system is a binary star system, located in the Mirata Sector some 58 light years from the Sol system. It is a slipspace crossroads system connected to the New Eridanus Route.

Initial exploration
Although the system had long been known to humans, it was not until 2423 that the first people would reach it. This would happen during the Eridania Expedition, led by Captain Jeremiah Norton, when the system served as a layover point. During this time, the team would spread out across the orbits of both its stars and explore as much as they could.

Settlement
Over the next several decades, the BXR Mining Corporation and the Liang-Dortmund Corporation would slowly assert their claims across the system. The Norton's Crossing Corporate Council would also be formed, organizing and governing the moon.

Insurrection
The Republic of Norton's Crossing would quickly expand its territorial claims to other portions of the system, after their initial victories on Norton's Crossing.
