The Chronicles of Local Space

A fictional exploration of nearby star systems
There is an infinite number of worlds, some like this world, others unlike it.
Epicurus (c.341 B.C.–c.270 B.C.), Letter to Herodotus

Systems

Many star systems lie within 30 light years of the Sun, and the probes of the Dandelion Project have visited most of them. However, humans have chosen to explore or settle only a select few.

The following are the systems that humans have chosen to visit or settle.

Colonies
Colonies are self-sustaining settlements on the surface of an earthlike planet. Inhabitants of colonies can walk on the surface of the planet without any breathing apparatus.

Bases
Bases are those places with a transient population and are usually used for mining, scientific research or industrial research. Bases do not include those systems where the only people in the system are the crew of the Stargates in that system.

Waypoint Systems
Waypoint systems have stargates with crews but lack permanent settlements away from the stargates. These may be the sites of future colonies or uninhabited systems whose only purpose is to provide a link in the wormhole network.

Uninhabited Systems
Uninhabited systems are completely uninhabited. They are generally systems that are explored remotely, or outposts whose only purpose is to provide future access to unexplored systems that are further from Sol. Most of these systems are connected to the stargate network with low-capacity links that only allow the passage of compact space probes.
