Luyten's Beacon

Luyten's Beacon (also known as Luyten 726-8 or Gliese 65) is a binary star system in the constellation Cetus. It is used primarily as a buffer zone at the border to Eridanus.

Luyten's Beacon is currently occupied by the Sovereign Meritocratic States of Eridanus. This system is a border security system, due to its proximity with surrounding, politically unstable Cetus star systems.

Luyten's Beacon connects to P Eridani and Tau Ceti via conventional gate network. A jump bridge is also known to exist between this system and Epsilon Eridani.
