Barnard's Gate

Barnard's Gate (officially Proxima Ophiuchi) is a dim red dwarf (M4V) flare star system in the constellation Ophiuchus, and is one of the busiest star systems in the world. At 1.82 parsecs, it is among the nearest star systems to Earth.

This system serves exclusively as an interchange and customs checkpoint between neighbouring constellations, primarily with respect to Canis-Centaurus, as it is one of two public entry points to Stronghold. It is under permanent jurisdiction of the Ophiuchi Terran Federative Republic.
