Minor Systems
Uncharted Systems
The following systems have no canonical data about them, and may be used as the gamemaster sees fit to provide additional targets for exploration: Kepler-22, Gliese 667, Redland II, Redland III, Mintaka II, Mintaka III, and Mintaka IV.
Ishtar
The Ishtar system is a small K-type star orbiting a massive black hole at a wide range of 100 AU. The star hosts three planets. One of the planets (which hosts the incoming warp bridge) may have been formerly in the habitable zone of the star, but thanks to stellar evolution, it is now too hot for liquid water. The black hole is estimated to be 6 billion years old, suggesting it was formed outside the Milky Way and captured somehow - possibly in a galactic collision. It is the subject of much study.
Drysar
Drysar is a small system centered around a white dwarf star. There are only two planets - one terrestrial (around which the warp bridge orbits), one gas giant with several moons, and an asteroid belt inside the orbits of the planets. Both planets are far too cold to support life. Calculations of the white dwarf's mass suggest that, several tens of millions of years ago, it would have been a red giant which would place the terrestrial planet squarely in the habitable zone. This becomes one of the more significant pieces of evidence of the age of the warp bridge network.
Upon its charting in 2128, a gravitational anomaly is discovered in the asteroid belt that is believed to be the long-sought backdoor to the Bactaran system. The ESF sends a number of ships to the system, only to find that the anomaly was a false alarm - after a number of crew were killed investigating it, the records were sealed. Subsequent explorations of the system revealed no such anomaly.
Pleiades
The Pleiades is a small, bright star cluster. While most of the stars in the cluster are young, hot blue stars, the one around which the Pleiades warp bridge's host planet orbits is an older, much dimmer red dwarf that happens to be nearby. It has several planets, none of which harbor life. One of the inner planets may have once supported life, but it is now far too hot to do so - the additional radiation from the surrounding blue stars may have been the cause of that planet's warming. Though some of the outer planets are now at a good temperature to support life, none of the necessary organic compounds are present.
Overview
Unique among the warp bridges, Overview is a warp bridge that is not linked to any stellar or planetary system - it exits to empty space with nothing at all nearby for a great distance. In fact, the singularity sits outside the Milky Way, about a quarter-million light years above the galactic disk, giving it an extraordinarily beautiful view of the galaxy.
There are two main reasons to visit overview: tourism, and science. A few years after its discovery, Outpost Overview is built in close orbit around the singularity, providing rooms with a view at multiple price ranges - the tourist trap's slogan is "The Loneliest Place in the Universe". Various scientific expeditions set up three small research stations - one observing the Milky Way, a second observing the galactic neighborhood, and the most distant performing experiments which require absolute isolation.
Orion Nebula
This warp bridge orbits a star that is so close to the Orion Nebula that the nebula fills the night sky. While the system has several planets, these planets have suprisingly few natural satellites, and the warp bridge does not orbit any of these planets as most warp bridges do, rather orbiting the star directly. It is hypothesized that the planetary system was rearranged chaotically when the supernova which created the Orion Nebula exploded, throwing the warp bridge off of its original orbit.
Bermuda
Bermuda is a system known for vanishing ships, which is how it got its name. The warp bridge orbits a lone gas giant which orbits at an extremely wide orbit (over 300 AU) around the star; there are no other planets, and most attempts to chart the system anywhere inside the orbit of this gas giant have met with one disaster or another.
