Luyten's Gate

Luyten's Gate (officially Gliese 273) is a red dwarf (M3.5V) star system in the district Stronghold of the constellation Canis-Centaurus. At 3.80 parsecs, it is among the nearest star systems to Earth.

This system serves exclusively as a customs checkpoint between territories of the Terran Confederacy and the Meritocratic States of Eridanus, and is under strict authority of the Terran Democratic Republic. The border crossing at Luyten's Gate is the most heavily-militarized in the world, with an enormous military presence on both sides to organize and enforce the torrential flow of traffic between constellations.
