Epsilon Eridani

Astronomical information for Epsilon Eridani (not to be confused with 40 Eridani) can be found here on Wikipedia.

Epsilon Eridani is where the Bsirutaeben settled after fleeing the Eben homeworld, approximately 1,500 Earth years ago. The planet they settled on was already inhabited by the Trigla. By mutual agreement, and a bit of killing, the Trigla agreed to become the servants/subjects of the Bsirutaeben. For the Trigla, this was beneficial in the long run. They could go about their business without worrying about politics, administration, or governing.

The Star
Epsilon Eridani, a star in the constellation Eridanus (seen from the southern hemisphere of Earth), is approximately 10.5 light years towards the galactic core. It's mass is 0.82 that of Earth's sun, Sol. It's radius is 0.73 that of Sol. The disparity of the mass vs. radius provides a slightly higher magnetic field. Therefore, the sun's Goldilock's Zone is somewhat closer than the Goldilock's Zone around Sol.

Epsilon Eridani is a magnitude 3.73 star, visible with the naked eye from the southern hemisphere of Earth. It cannot be seen from high population centres due to it's relative weak light. Viewers must be away from sources of light polution to see it with the naked eye.

Where our sun is a G-Type yellow dwarf, Epsion Eridani is a K-Type orange dwarf.

Epsilon Eridani II
The planet inhabited by the Bsirutaeben, is Epsilon Eridani II. It has a large band of hardpack, desert type surface that extends approximately 40 degrees both north and south of the equator. The areas north and south of this arid region are considered lush, densley forrested, sub-tropical environments. This is due to the fact that Epsilon Eridani II is much closer to it's orange dwarf star than Earth is to Sol. Epsilon Eridani II orbits along the inner perimeter of the Goldilock's Zone around Epsilon Eridani. While the Trigla are equally at home in either environment, the Voiya (Eridani Masters) inhabit the temperate zones exclusively.

There are no polar ice caps on Epsilon Eridani II due to it's higher overall temperature. The average daytime temperature at the equator is 73 °C; the average daytime temperature at either pole is 35 °C. The average daytime temperature in the most densley populated regions, both north and south of the arid region, is in the range of 46 °C to 50 °C.

Water covers approximately 55% of the surface of Epsilon Eridani II. The planet's largest industry is agriculture and weapon's manufacturing.
