Stellar database

No guarantee on the accuracy--I just found it today--but perhaps
of interest.

Have you looked at the entries for the core systems? Alpha Centauri and
Barnard's Star are, er, hm,... interesting environments.

Alpha Centauri and especially Barnards Star are probably not good candidates
for Earth Type worlds, however they are close to Sol and would in all
liklihood be grabbed quickly in the early stages of competative Interstellar
expansion. I note in FB2 it mentions the Kravak attacks on Centaurus ravaged
the orbital colonies, perhaps this is where the majority of the population
resides.

The 'Man-Kzin War' books are largely set in the Wunderland (Alpha
Centauri) system which boasts both a garden world and a heavily populated
asteroid belt which was colonised by Earth Asteroid miners.

As for Banards star, well I assume that this system assumed greater importance
in the late 21st century as it was the target of the First
Trans-Solar probe in 2063. Of course it may be that the early probes
were only capable of limited range jumps and Barnard was seen as a suitable
waypoint for extended Interstellar expansion. (a sort of GZG universe Babylon
5?)

Looking at the future history I would guess that 'New Israel' in the Epsilon
Indi System was the first Earth Type world discovered in the neighbourhood.
