Andromeda 2500 :: Book 1

	Local Space
	Local Space is the name commonly used to refer to the immediate vicinity, on an astrophysical scale, of the United Terran Forces (letter A on this map). At the heart of local space is the binary star system (A’Lan and Apollo) that contains the UTF homeworlds. The solar system formed around A’Lan is the K’Baln System, which contains Trillian and Fortaria, and the solar system formed around Apollo is the Empyrean System, which contains New Terra. Local Space also encompasses the Outer Colonies and some of the distant UTF outposts established to facilitate interstellar trade. Almost all UTF facilities have had some sort of military presence since the Stadarian war began. The total diameter of local space is about 15 light years and contains 5 stars besides A’Lan and Apollo.
