Unclaimed

Taranis System

Taranis is an unclaimed system best known for two dense asteroid belts that must be passed through when traveling between jump points. Besides the asteroids belt providing plenty of cover for pirates and criminals to hide, the Taranis System is probably best known for its broken moon above Taranis II, which inspired the "Broken Moon of Taranis" map in the game Arena Commander.
