Altair

Altair (officially Alpha Aquilae) is a blue-white main sequence (A7V) star system in the constellation Aquila, and is one of the busiest star systems in the world.

This system serves exclusively as an interchange and waystation for spacecraft between major population centers, rendering it in many cases a more efficient bypass for Barnard's Gate. It is under permanent jurisdiction of the Terran Democratic Republic. It is 5.14 parsecs from Earth.
