Groombridge 1618 is a
planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star. The system lies in
the Ursa Major Constellation of the Inner/Sol Region.
The Groombridge 1618 system was first explored
by Sol based settlers looking to colonize worlds
during the early days of interstellar travel.
Numerous groups over the years tried
unsuccessfully to colonize the cold, partially
habitable primary planet.
Eventually a permanent population was able to
take hold on the planet. Though the world
had little to offer and never gained a
population larger than a few million. Used
primarily for mining, most of the planet's
resources have been shipped off world.
