Position of Cronox in Syndicate space
Cronox [CRON-ox] is a S-type detached-binary star system consisting of the stars 1GD.Pa-Cordes and 1GD.Pb-Arjos. The two orbit a common barycenter at a sufficient distance for each to have its own independent planetary system. The two stars' orbital planes are at 83 degree angle from each other, which suggests that the two stars originally formed independently o… - ' orbital planes are at 83 degree angle from each other, which suggests that the two stars originally formed independently of each other, but began to orbit each other early in their history.

Bantmitual, also called Bandar Prime, is the principle inhabited planet of the Bandar System. It is the homeworld of the bandar, a highly advanced yet retiring tetrapodal species who are spacefaring, but have never ventured much beyond their home system. - orically they avoided making any contact with any other sentient species. Despite their retiring nature, the system's great distance from any other star is the most likely explanation for their sta

Ra (RAH) and Ratér (rah-TAIR) are mutually-orbiting binary planets in the Cronox System. The two are both marginal for human life but were settled many millennia ago.

- Official Naming Conventionplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigOfficial Naming Convention
Official Naming Conventions are common interstellar agreements about the naming of stars, systems and planets. Planetary names in particular can be highly politicised, because long-established worlds may have a variety of local names used by different groups or nations, names applied to them by other planets in the same system, and yet other names applied by cultures in distant systems or by colonial powers. - erent groups or nations, names applied to them by other planets in the same system, and yet other names applied by cultures in distant systems or by colonial po
- Hyperdriveplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigHyperdrive
Most modern interstellar space travel is achieved using variations on the tachyon transference drive (TTD), variously called the tachyon drive or hyperdrive. This circumvents the laws of mass and energy by “flipping” a vessel travelling at speeds approaching the speed of light into tachyonic particles. These particles have no mass in the convention sense, as they are incapable of interacting with sub-luminal matter. They also travel at the speed of light within their own point of … - oud of tachyons incapable of interacting with any other particles, the particles could still cohere and interact with each other, but only with those particles in the original fi
