Zeta Reticuli is a wide binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum, located at a distance of about 39 light-years (12 parsecs) from the Earth.
Background[]
The two stars of Zeta Reticuli are located at similar distances from the Sol system and share the same motion through space, confirming that they are gravitationally bound and form a wide binary star system. The distance between the two stars is at least 3,750 AU, so their orbital period is 170,000 years or more.[1]
Locations in Zeta Reticuli[]
Chig War[]
The Chigs evolved in Zeta Reticuli. The proximity of a nearby star allowed the Chigs to spread out amongst the stars with only basic technology, giving them a strong foothold to further develop their technologies.
