Description
Template:True Star InfoboxArcturus (Designated α Boötis) is a massive red giant star located in the constellation of Boötes. Ever since its discovery by humans on ancient Earth, it has mystified many people. Soon enough, Arcturus became to be a very major star in Earth's vicinity, being a system dedicated to the production of spacecraft. The size of Arcturus makes it severely foreboding, since it is near the end of its lifespan.
The sheer heat and size of Arcturus has stretched to two major planets, named Azure and Xadridge. These planets are of the utmost care and protection by the Federations of United Star Systems, with them holding billions of inhabitants and having some of the most important shipyards near Sol.
Ever since Humanity became an interstellar species, spacecraft have always flooded the vicinity of Arcturus, making it a hot spot for not only tourism, but for the Federation's military. The extent of Arcturus's massive planetary system has also made it one of the most populated systems in the Milky Way.
Arcturus has had plenty of uses over history, such as aiding with the Confederacy in the Split of the Confederacy of Humanity. Long after the brutal period of anarchy and corporate feudalism, Arcturus's shipyards became very useful for deterring pirates and restoring order. The ships that are made in the Arcturus shipyards are only the most lucrative and advanced, singlehandedly helping Humanity in all of its wars and local conflicts. This almost makes Arcturus an untouchable system, with defenses and safeguards being placed around the clock. A strict border policy between outsiders and Arcturus is also in place, which squashes out a lot of potential crime.
Planets
Arcturus holds eleven planets, all of which are used to their highest capacity. The innermost several planets are highly above average in temperature, and are mostly used for orbital barracks, habitats, and solar farms. However, the last few planets of the Arcturus System are very well known, which is a result of their usefulness. There are also no gas giants in any part of the Arcturian System, which makes hydrogen a primary import from the corporations around the system.
Four of these planets, (Xadridge, Lastrao, Azure, and Kazuno) are fairly important in the fields of population and system income, since they are all suitable terras for colonization. A comprehensive list of planets and short descriptions are below:
