Orpheus System

The Orpheus System is a planetary system located several light years outside of the region of space known as the Isis Arm. It is the only known star system to exist in the vast emptiness of Abbott’s Void. The star system was first discovered by the Federation in 2350 and was charted by the USS Armstrong in 2362. Due to its location the Orpheus System is considered by many to be the Gateway to the Isis Arm. In 2368 construction began on Starbase 749 in orbit around the Class M Moon called Eurydice ahead of future colonisation of the system.
