TRAPPIST-1

Background
TRAPPIST-1 is a star system roughly 39 light years from Earth, and containing 7 planets, four of which are in the habitable zone of their star. The star is an M-type red dwarf. The system is annexed currently by the RSC, however belonged to the Kashni's Ha'Ruu nation some 300 to 500 years ago. The system is currently being explored by the RSC, with colonization attempts being slowly started. Three of the planets (-c, -d, & -e) were terraformed by the Ha'Ruu to support Kashni lifeforms; an environment which is hostile to Humans. This makes further colonization and terraformation attempts difficult, as previous work has to be slowly undone.

History: Ha'Ruu
TRAPPIST-1 was the native system to the Ha'Ruu, and the Kashni evolved into being on -d. It is unknown what names the Ha'Ruu had for each planet. The planets within the system are in very close proximity to one another, and it was likely easy for the civilization to expand beyond their home planet. A plethora of ruins on each of the three planets are present and being deciphered by the RSC, in order to garner more information on the mysterious Kashni people. The system was abandoned between 300 and 500 years ago following an unknown world-ending cataclysm that collapsed the Ha'Ruu civilization.

History: RSC
TRAPPIST-1 is very far from both Terra and Alpha Centauri, but seeing the potential in TRAPPIST-1, the RSC decided to endeavor to the system in 2229. While expensive, it was agreed upon by government officials that the potential information left behind on the planets in the system would provide a great boost to the current war effort against the Kashni Empire. Currently, outposts reside on four planets, and a spaceport orbits above a Lagrange Point on planet -c.
