Atras System

The Atras System is a major Binary Star System near the center of the Republic of Pythas, and is the home to the nations capital of Tarsonis, as well as the terrestrial planet Pheiros, and the Gas giants Datriux and Aventen. Located in the Orion Spur, the system is over 5 billion years old. The two stars, named Vibitus Alpha and Vibitus Beta, are both G-type-main sequence stars (G2V), orbiting around each other. They are both relatively the same size, and have a characteristically stable orbit and relationship. An asteroid belt separates the systems two inner terrestrial planets from the two outer gas giants, with a second asteroid belt beyond the fourth planet marking the unofficial outer boundary of the system. The majority of the systems living inhabitants live on the planet of Tarsonis, the capital of the republic, with a handful million of inhabitants living in colonies, facilities, bases, and outposts littered across the moons and facilities of the other otherwise uninhabitable planets of the system.

The Atras System is easily the most important star system in the Republic of Pythas, being the home of the capital, and of two Gas Giants rich in Helium-3, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and other useful gasses used in industrial and military applications. The resource extraction of Metals such as Iron, Titanium, Tungsten, and others, as well as several previous minerals, also make the planet of Pheiros a profitable outpost. The systems asteroid belts and other debris are rich in resource-heavy asteroids, dwarf planets, and comets all used for extraction, as well as serving as natural barriers and defenses. The systems plethora of resources therefore categorizes it as a class-A star system, capable of comfortably sustaining its population with food and materials grown and made in its own home planets, almost rivaling the wealth and strength of star systems such as Sol. The Star System today is valued very highly by the Pythas Republic as an integral part of the republic, reflected in the extensive military docks and outposts littered throughout the system, as well as the presence of the Home Fleet and a very large military garrison.
