“The Seven Seas Star Cluster is unusual in many ways – the seven stars are very close together compared to most stars near Sol, yet are also farther away from other stars than would be expected in this area of the galaxy. They also all have drastically different characteristics – there is a Sol-star, a pulsar, a red giant, a white dwarf – and each has quite a few planets. It’s a shame that the Ethyr-distance between them and Earth is so long, and that there are no useful resources out there to be found, or else they doubtless would have been explored far sooner.”
