About this book

This is the sixth sourcebook for Macross 2050. Although Southern Cross

originally had nothing to do with Macross, they hae been irreocably tied together bythe butchery of Carl Macek that is known as !oboTech. Su"er #i$ensional Caalry

Southern Cross beca$e the second cha"ter of the !oboTech saga %The !obotech Masters

arc&, being rewritten to be the children of the Macross characters.' hae chosen to include the infor$ation for Southern Cross as o"tional

infor$ation for the "ossible use as a colony world for the Macross setting as well as

incor"orating it into Macross, either co$"letely or in "art. ' also atte$"t to correct as$any of the (einis$s as "ossible.

PrefaceSu"er #i$ension Caalry Southern Cross, which beca$e the second cha"ter of

!obotech, 6The !obotech Masters6, shared $any of the sa$e ideas and conce"ts as

Macross did but was originally not a se-uel or een related to Macross in any way. This

is why in !obotech the infant #ana 7Miku in Macross8 has green hair and the adult is a blonde9 and :ikaru, Min$ei, Misa, Max and Miriya are nowhere to be seen after theMacross Saga.

Southern Cross bo$bed in ;a"an, and as such had its "roduction run cut short to

2 e"isodes. Southern Cross ran fro$ A"ril *5, *</ to Se"te$ber 0, *</ in ;a"an onMainichi =roadcasting Station. Tatsunoko )roductions also worked on Southern Cross

although the show was not related to Macross in any way story>wise. Many of the

scra""ed designs and ideas fro$ the unfinished Southern Cross series were later to beincor"orated in the also unfinished !obotech se-uel, !obotech ''? The Sentinels.

#ue to lack of s"ecific infor$ation about the $echa and other ehicles, ' hae

used what infor$ation is aailable according to !obotech. Thus, $any wea"on na$es

likely are !obotech labels.

Chapter 1 – Southern CrossTowards the end of the 2*st century, the arth was deastated by a nuclear war.

The suriors utili@ed the existing Mars and ;u"iter bases as launching "oints for colony

$issions in search of habitable "lanets in which $ankind could surie. Their "ri$ary

colony takes root on "lanet iberty in )roxi$a Centauri. Bne other such colony waslocated on a "lanet now called lorie, located in the "silon ridani syste$.



The colonists eentually discoered there was a sentient "lant life for$ on the

"lanet known as )roto@or. Dhen hu$ans contact the s"ores gien off by )roto@or, they

are genetically $erged into a s"ecies that beca$e known as the 1or. The 1or and thehu$ans eentually degraded into conflict that ended in another nuclear war that nearly

destroyed the "lanet. The 1or were the suriors who fled into s"ace with all of the

)roto@or they could carry, as they used the )roto@or for food and as a source of bio>energy.

=y the year 2*20, hu$ans hae successfully coloni@ed other "lanets following the

near deastation of arth fro$ the last great world war. :oweer, on lorie, one suchcolony are sur"rised and un"re"ared at the arrial of The 1or, a grou" of beings who$

were the original inhabitants of the "lanet and left following si$ilar near fatal eents.

Co$ing to reclai$ their for$er ho$e world, a relentless war eru"ts between both races

that ulti$ately leads to a cataclys$ic showdown and into a no>win scenario for either.A""roxi$ately 0 years after the 1or abandon their ho$eworld, hu$ans hae

coloni@ed lorie, knowing nothing of the "reious "o"ulation other than undeci"herable

ruins left behind. The new colonists hae arried fro$ another "lanet, iberty, located in

the )roxi$a syste$, and begun to terrafor$ the world. Enfortunately, the 1or haede"leted their stores of )roto@or and hae returned to their ho$eworld in search of the

"lant life for$s they need to surie. The colonists in the show are first generation,leaing fa$ily behind on iberty. They a""ear to $aintain loose co$$unication with

iberty until Fa$$ed by the 1or.

The 1ors are ex"erts at genetic engineering and hae eoled the$seles intotri"lets whereby one of the tri"lets is o"ti$i@ed for decision>$aking and tends to lead the

triu$irate, one is o"ti$i@ed for action, and the third is o"ti$i@ed for sureillance and

data>gathering. This $akes the three interde"endent, yet highly ca"able. They hae also

su""ressed all for$ of e$otion within their "eo"le and consider indiidual thinking to bea $ental dysfunction.

Glorie

lorie is a "lanet in the "silon ridani star syste$. 't is the second na$ed colony

after the iberty colony in )roxi$a Centauri, which hu$anity now calls their ho$eworld.As stated "reiously, lorie was once the 1or ho$eworld, also called 1or, and was

abandoned after a $assie war nearly wi"ed the 1or out %and likely instigated an ice age&.

Si$ilar to "lanetary scale and at$os"heric conditions to arth, lorie still had anunex"ectedly harsh natural eniron$ent. The "lanet has an elli"tical orbit around its sun



with a cycle of a""roxi$ately 3 years. Sixty "ercent of the "lanet surface area is land

and during the winter, fifty "ercent of that land is coered with glaciers. Briginally the

"lanetary te$"eratures in winter aeraged between >5 to >0 degrees Celsius. Thanks toextensie $ilitary terrafor$ing, lorie was successfully turned into a suitable "lanet for

terrestrial life.

Glorie’s Government Structure

• lorieGs goern$ent consists of a )ri$e Minister and Cabinet. TheSu"re$e Co$$ander is considered the to" $ilitary official for the

goern$ent.

• The #e"art$ent of Surface B"erations oersees all land and sea

o"erations for the Southern Cross Ar$y. The TC %and all subdiisions&,

ATAC, Medical Cor"s, ogistics Cor"s and C#E fall under Furisdictionof this de"art$ent.

• The #e"art$ent of Aeros"ace B"erations oersees all at$os"heric and

s"ace o"erations for the Southern Cross Ar$y. The TAH, TASC, TSC,

'TC, Trans"ort Cor"s and C#HC fall under Furisdiction of thisde"art$ent.

• The lorie Military )olice is charged with $aintaining order within the

ranks and re"orts directly to Su"re$e Co$$ander eon.

ASC Corps

There are a total of fifteen different ar$ies in the Southern Cross. ach ar$y has

a s"ecific role, and -uite often work in concert with each other on large or i$"ortant$issions. The following are different cor"s within the ASC.

lorie Military )olice + The M) is in charge of arious inestigatie functions

and seres a si$ilar role as the old =ritish SAS. Their ar$y is one of the only ones that

train in the use of all ty"es of $echa. They also function as internal affairs for the other branches of the ASC. Dhen necessary, the M) also act as an infor$al di"lo$atic cor"s.

Tactical Cor"s + The TC is the backbone of the Southern Cross forces. They sere

as the "ri$ary ground ar$ed forces, $uch in the sa$e $anner as the E4 Ar$y. Theys"eciali@e in the use of the Sala$ander battroid as their M=T e-uialent.

Tactical Air Cor" + The TAC is the "ri$ary air force of the Southern Cross,

sering in the sa$e function as the E4 Air Horce, "iloting arious conentional aircraft.Tactical Ar$ored S"ace Cor" + The TASC seres in the sa$e function as the E4

S"ace Air Horce, s"eciali@ing in the "iloting of the transfor$able ogan and A;ACS

$echa as well as conentional fighters and larger s"acecraft.Al"ha Tactical Ar$ored Cor" + The ATAC seres as elite infantry, "iloting the

transfor$able S"artas hoertank to "roide fire su""ort for other diisions. 'n the series,they see the $ost action and glory in battle co$"ared to the other branches.

Tactical Cor"s !econ scort )atrol + The TC>!) seres as scouts for thearious other TC subdiisions, striking into ene$y territory to gather aluable

infor$ation on troo" de"loy$ent and defensie enca$"$ents.

Tactical S"ace Cor"s + The TSC "ilots the arious shuttles and warshi"s used bythe Southern Cross. They are si$ilar to the E4 S"ace 4ay in function.



Ciil #efense Enit + The C#E seres to su""ress riots and other co$batants in

urban surroundings. They are trained to fight in a way to $ini$i@e da$age within city

li$its as well as using non>lethal co$bat.Ciil #efense Hlying Cor" + The C#HC seres in a si$ilar role as the ES Air

4ational uard, "roiding air su""ort to the C#E when needed.

Tactical Cor"s Artic #iision + The TC>A# is a diision of the TC traineds"ecifically for $issions in arctic conditions.

Tactical Cor"s Marsh #iision + The TC>MaS is a diision of the TC trained

s"ecifically for $issions in swa$" terrain.Tactical Cor"s Al"ine #iision + The TC>AS is a diision of the TC trained

Tactical Cor"s 4aal #iision + The TC>4a# is a diision of the TC trained

s"ecifically for oceanic or watery $issions. The TC>4a# seres si$ilarly to the old ES 4ay Seals.

'nterstellar Trans"ort Cor"s + The 'TC "ilots the interstellar ca"ital shi"s and$akes su""ly runs fro$ distant syste$s. The 'TC is not reco$$ended for "layers

because the bulk of their ti$e would be in transit between colony worlds, and therefore

highly boring.Trans"ort Cor"s + The Trans"ort Cor"s is res"onsible for in>syste$ and "lanetary

su""ly $issions.

ogistics Cor"s + The ogistics Cor"s "roide su""lies and ground trans"ortation

for arious units.Medical Cor"s + The Medical Cor"s "roides $edical attention for all of the

different cor"s of the ASC, although they work $ore fre-uently with the TAH and TASC

during eacuation $issions.

Character Creation

The ar$ies of the Southern Cross use slightly different class te$"lates than aMacross ca$"aign. ach of the cor"s of the ASC hae their own te$"lates and

s"ecialties. The skills, "erks, talents and co$"lications are largely unchanged, exce"t for

what grou"s they a""ly to.

4otable Changes

S"iritia %Stat& + This is ignored outright. :oweer, it is "ossible the 1or instru$ental

Shantars use basic s"iritia "owers to cal$ the trinities. The 1or instead should use)sionics below.

anguage %Skill& + There are only two $ain languages to worry about. Bne is the hu$an

standard language, and the other is the language used by the 1or. 'tIs "ossible each



colony has its own "articular dialect of the $ain hu$an language. The hu$an standard

language is not s"ecified, so it could be nglish or $ix of $ost $aFor languages9 or it

could be ;a"anese if you want to kee" an ani$e feel to the ga$e, or gien that so $anyna$es see$ to be Hrench, that $ight be the "ri$ary language.

Mecha )ilot %Skill& + This skill $ust be taken se"arately for each ty"e of $echa as usual. 4ote that only the TC, TAC and TASC can learn to "ilot the A;ACS. Bnly the 1or

ach of the grou"s of the Southern Cross hae indiidually custo$i@ed ar$ing

doublets designed for their "articular field of ex"ertise. All ar$ing doublets areconsidered to hae a Lhard"oint on the back of the ar$or, which allows for the -uick

$ounting of a back"ack, surial "ack, Fet"ack or other si$ilar e-ui"$ent, as well as one

on the left forear$ for $ounting a shield. 'n Mekton ter$s, all ar$ing doublets are

considered to be standard ar$or.



So$e ariations of ar$ing doublets hae carabineers, which are $etal LB rings

attached to the ar$or for the use of ra""elling and cli$bing with the use of cords. They

can also be used to tie additional gear to, although this will likely cause a "enalty to allA' based rolls.

the tank to allow li$ited targeting.The gladiator $ode or GDalker CannonG "roides the $ost fire"ower with the

i$"ressie *20$$ s$oothbore cannon and auxiliary >barreled $$ anti>aircraft "ulse "las$a gun. The tri>barreled cannon "roides $id>range artillery bo$bard$ent as well as

anti>aircraft fire.

Dhile one source indicates the $ain cannon is a big laser, the ani$ation see$s tocontradict this at ti$es. Dhen ;eanne da$ages the drie syste$ of the 1or flagshi", the

cannon see$s to fire a guided $issile as it s"irals down a hole to da$age the syste$.

asers do not s"iral, "eriod. Bther scenes suggest so$e for$ of energy wea"on. There

$ight be se"arate ersions for these or so$e of the new generation ehicles $ay haedifferent wea"on syste$s. The easiest suggestion would be for different ersions to exist

with different $ain wea"ons $ounted in the left ar$ housing.

The gladiator $ode has li$ited $obility to su""ort the $ain wea"onry. The "ilotis also fully ex"osed in the front of the ehicle. The "ilot is "rotected fro$ the rear and

the sides, but o"en in the front, suggesting this $ode is for stand>off fire su""ort and not

direct co$bat fighting. Enfortunately, due to the s"eed of the =ioroids, this is not alwaysguaranteed and "ilots suffer the conse-uences.

The battroid $ode or G=attle Sni"erG is the final $ode of the syste$ "roiding

$axi$u$ $aneuerability and "rotection to the "ilot. This $ode is e$"loyed as a close

co$bat heay infantry robot. The "ilot is situated within the chest of the robot and fullyenclosed by the heay ar$or of the S"artas.

The ASC battroids are all based on the sa$e oerall chassis, with each diision

custo$i@ing it to their "articular MBS. Many of the battroids hae carabiners added to

attach additional gear or for use in ra""elling and cli$bing.

1or are not suited to co$bat, as they are a strongly intellectual race. They instead

ca"ture ene$y hu$ans and turn the$ into biohu$ans. These biohu$ans receie $inor



cybernetic $odifications and undergo extre$e leels of brainwashing to erase all

$e$ories.

The use of biohu$ans has two $aFor benefits to the 1or. Hirst, this s"ares thelies of 1or while reducing the fighting "ower and "o"ulation of the ene$y. Second,

eentually the o""onent will learn what the biohu$ans are, and will reduce their co$bat

effectieness when fighting fellow hu$ans.The 1or wish to Lgift all of hu$anity as biohu$ans to allow the$ clear logic and

allow the two races to coexist on lorie.

=iohu$ans hae the Manchurian Candidate co$"lication and eentually gain the bonuses K "enalties for being 1or. As long as they hae regular access to bio>energy,

they gain a "hanto$ rank of the )S' stat, allowing the$ to "ilot bioroid $echa at full

three. This only works if all three are doing the >exact> sa$e action to the >exact> sa$e

a single target, two of the trio $ay forego their attack roll to 6herd6 the target into the

Chapter 5 – or Technolo2There are two $ain ty"es of =ioroids for each generation "roduced. The Ty"e '

$odel is used by the basic soldiers and the Ty"e '' $odel is used by the unit co$$anders

and elite troo"s. The 1or forces "roduced three generations of =ioroids, although the late>

ter$ $odels neer $ade it to the screen as the show was "re$aturely wra""ed u" due to "oor ratings.

=iohu$ans are ca"tured hu$ans who hae been brainwashed into sering the

1or, who are ill>suited for co$bat. The $ost i$"ressie feature of bioroid technology is

the ability to coney the thoughts of the o"erator directly to the $echa. This increases

res"onse ti$e, $aking bioroid $oe$ents distinctly $ore agile that those of theSouthern Cross $echa. 'n short the bioroids are actually 6alie6 with the "ilots acting as

their 6brains6.The tactical adantage of the alien forces seres the 1or in two ways. Hirst of all,

the use of the bioroid seres as a su"erior fighter oer the Southern Cross $echa.

Secondly, the use of biohu$ans seres as a "sychological deterrent, as the hu$ansoldiers find they are fighting their fellow co$rades at ar$s.

The cock"it is located in the u""er chest of the =ioroid. The "ilot curls u" in the

ball of a cock"it and the ar$or encloses and "rotects hi$. The earlier =ioroids are usuallycontrolled in the co$bat theater by the landing frigates.

The =ioroid is deelo"ed with $any redundancies in o"eration and sustain

tre$endous a$ounts of da$age and still $anage so$e offensie ca"abilities. Hor$ani"ulation, a three>fingered hand is "roided with o""osable thu$b. Hor stability in

walking, two large toes and a heel are "roided on each foot.

=ioroid ar$or is ery resistant to energy>based wea"ons, howeer it is weak to

"hysical attacks, "articularly around the cock"it.



Tele$echanical

All bioroids $ay be "iloted by anyone with a hu$an "hysical structure since thecontrols "ick u" on the electrical signals of the body and cause the $echa to res"ond as

"art of the "ilotIs body. :oweer, to take full adantage of the bioroid $echa the "ilot

needs to be tele"athic.'n Mekton this counts as Thought Control %$ulti"lier x0.5&, howeer since it

re-uires the )S' stat to $ake use of it, the $ulti"lier is reduced to x0./. This grants the

bioroid O2 M, O* DA and O3R M). :oweer due to the link, for eery ( the bioroidtakes, the "ilot takes * hit of da$age to his head %ignores all defense& fro$ feedback.

'f the "ilot is not a 1or or biohu$an, reduce the bonuses to O* M, O* DA and

OR M).

Syste$ !edundancies

Mid and late generation bioroid $echa hae $ulti"le redundant syste$s, $aking

the$ -uite hardy in co$bat. Dhen a critical hit is scored on any syste$ other than the

"ower"lant, the critical effect is negated on a *>2 on *d*0. #a$age is a""lied as nor$al.This is a cost $ulti"lier of x0.2.

Chapter 7 – 6nto "acrossThis cha"ter includes notes and suggestions for bringing Southern Cross into a

Macross canon storyline.

Option 1 + !un it $ostly as it is. Ese lorie as one of the E4Is colony worlds on theother side of the galaxy. ither due to econo$ic difficulties or colony "reference, the

colony does not hae the nu$bers of Hs or higher technology as other colonies do,

concentrating on the chea"er battroids for co$bat and defense.

'n 2050, the colonists $ay be fighting their first battle against the 1or9 the battlethat deci$ates the colony. 't is also "ossible that the first battle took "lace earlier, around

200 or so, and the 1or are inading to restock their su""ly of )roto@or $uch sooner than

in Southern Cross.Option 2 + Ese "arts of it. The battroids could be uni-ue to a single colony, "ossibly still

lorie. The battroids could also be a new deelo"$ent to re"lace the destroids, or ass"eciali@ed ar$or for the $arines and s"ecial forces branches of the E4 $ilitary. TheS"artas would be an instant faorite of the E4 Ar$y.

Option 3 + The 1or could be used as a re$nant of the ancient )rotoculture. #ue to the

deastation brought on the$ by the Schis$ Dar and then the war with the )rotodeilnand their 'ns"ection Ar$y, the "rotoculture could hae turned to cloning the$seles in

order to $aintain their "o"ulation. )erha"s the decision for creating the eil series was



$ade by a single "erson, and the choice was $ade to clone eeryone in trinities to aoid

any single "erson $aking such a $istake again.

SabotA sabot %"ronounced 6sah>boh6& refers to a deice na$ed for a shoe used in a

firear$ or cannon to fire a "roFectile or bullet that is s$aller than the bore dia$eter. Since

a strong seal is needed to tra" "ro"ellant gasses behind the "roFectile, and kee" the

"roFectile centered in the barrel, so$ething is needed to fill the ga" between "roFectileand barrel, which is the role of the sabot. Hiring a s$all si@e "roFectile wra""ed in a sabot

raises the $u@@le elocity of the "roFectile. Made of so$e lightweight $aterial %usually

"lastic in s$all>bore guns, and alu$inu$ in cannons&, the sabot usually consists ofseeral "ieces held in "lace by the cartridge or a loose connection. Dhen the "roFectile is

fired, the sabot blocks the gas, and accelerates the "roFectile down the barrel. Dhen the

sabot reaches the end of the barrel, the shock of hitting still air "ulls the "arts of the sabot

away fro$ the "roFectile, allowing the "roFectile to continue in flight.

HS#S>TE 7Hin Stabili@ed #iscarding Sabot + Tungsten8

A thin but long, high density %tungsten carbide& dart with a high $u@@le elocityand little s"eed loss, giing a near instantaneous ti$e>on>target. #ue to the high flight

s"eed, the round does not carry any guidance.

MA):>S 7Multi"le (inetic nergy )enetrator > Self uided8



The MA):>S is an anti>air artillery shell, with a warhead based on designs

fro$ the late 20th century. The shell incor"orates a idar sensor and guides itself to the

icinity of the target, then fires four darts in an o"ti$i@ed firing "attern that irtuallyinsures at least a 35R hit rate. These darts ex"lode after "enetrating the ar$or, destroying

large "arts of the internal structure of lightly ar$ored targets, and large chunks of ar$or

fro$ heaier ar$ored targets.

M)AH 7Multi>)ur"ose Airburst Hlechette8

This shell has a "roxi$ity fuse to ex"lode aboe troo" concentrations and releaseshundreds of hy"erelocity darts. s"ecially effectie against body ar$or and light A)Cs,

the effectieness of this round is di$inished by coer such as buildings. The round has

so$e secondary ca"ability against helico"ters and other low and slow flying targets.

:S: 7:igh x"losie S-uash :ead8

This round will i$"act on a target, crush the thin "lating of the round, and s$ear

the "lastic ex"losie inside oer the ar$or of the target. A base fuse will detonate the

"lastic, causing a scab of ar$or to shatter. The shell is ariable fused, and can be used asa general>"ur"ose high ex"losie shell. Dith an i$"act fuse, this shell is es"ecially

effectie against battroid or bioroid ar$or.

S"artasThe S"artas $ain cannon gae $e no end of grief. Most sources list it as an ion

cannon, while a few list it as a "roFectile cannon. The ani$ation shows it firing a blast or

bea$ $ost of the ti$e, and clearly shows it firing a $issile>like "roFectile at ti$es. '

co$"ro$ised with the idea that the base $odel has a "roFectile cannon, while laterersions can be u"graded with the ion cannon.

The tri"le>barrel secondary wea"on also was confusing. Most sources list it as a

"ulse energy wea"on, although the ani$ation has the shots $aking ricochet and firingsounds as if it were a ballistic wea"on. ' left it as an energy wea"on, as $uch of the ar$

s"ace is used for s"are shells for the $ain cannon.

Mary AngelThe ani$e subtitles her na$e as Marie throughout the ani$e. :oweer, when she

Epsilon Eridani in .ealit



"silon ridani %V ri N V ridani& is a notable $ain>se-uence (2 class star. 't isthe closest star in the constellation of ridanus at *0.5 light years fro$ the Sol Syste$and is the third closest star isible to the naked eye. "silon ridani has an esti$ated

5R of the SunGs $ass and /R of the SunGs radius, but has only 2R of its lu$inosity

and is *0 light years distant. 't is the second nearest s"ectral class ( star after W Centauri

=. Co$"ared to the Sun, this star is considered slightly low in the abundance of ele$entswith ato$ic nu$bers higher than heliu$. "silon ridani has only about 3/R of the

SunGs abundance of iron in its chro$os"here.

The starGs $ost unusual characteristic is its extre$ely ariable s"ectru$, with$any e$ission lines. Hurther$ore, it has a ery strong $agnetic field and has been

$easured to rotate once eery *2 days %roughly twice as fast as our Sun&. The reason for

this is its youth as it is only about 00 $illion to a billion years old.'n *<, a dust disk was discoered around the star, at a si$ilar distance as the

(ui"er belt is fro$ our Sun. Astrono$ers inter"reted #o""ler $easure$ents as clu$"s

in the dust ring that suggest another "lanet orbits the star, causing the clu$"s through

resonance. The dust disc contains a""roxi$ately *000 ti$es $ore dust than is "resent inthe inner syste$ around our Sun, which $ay $ean it has about *000 ti$es as $uch

co$etary $aterial as our solar syste$.

Dithin 5 AE of the star the dust is de"leted, which $ay $ean that the syste$has for$ed "lanets which hae cleared out the dust in this region. This is consistent with

currently acce"ted $odels of the inner solar syste$, and so there $ay be terrestrial

"lanets around the star.

As "silon ridani is one of the nearest solar>ty"e stars to our Sun, $any atte$"tsto search for orbiting "lanets hae been $ade. :oweer, the starGs high actiity and

ariability $eans that finding "lanets with the radial elocity $ethod is difficult, andstellar actiity $ay $i$ic the "resence of "lanets. "silon ridani is the target for $any

"lanet finding "rogra$s because it has the "ro"erties to allow an arthlike "lanet to for$.

Hor li-uid water to exist on the surface of a habitable "lanet ranging fro$ * to 2.5 earth

$asses, the "lanet would hae to be around 0.5 to 0.0 AE fro$ the star %arth is * AE



fro$ our sun&. 'f hu$ans were to find an earthlike "lanet it $ight need terrafor$ing in

order for hu$ans to lie on it due to the syste$Gs young age.

There are two "lanets in the syste$, one confir$ed and one unconfir$ed %as of200<&. A 2500 day>"eriod ;u"iter>like "lanet "silon ridani b orbits at .< AE in one

of the $ost eccentric orbit of any extrasolar "lanets > 0.3. A 20 year>"eriod low>$ass

"lanet "silon ridani c orbits at /0 AE in a less eccentric orbit > 0..Conclusions

'f "silon ridani is actually the sa$e syste$ used in Southern Cross, it would

$ean that lorie is not likely to be "silon ridani c %too far away fro$ its star&, butrather a currently undiscoered "lanet in the syste$, circa 200<, and that it has two

$oons. The 1or refer to lorie as the "lanet 1or of the ridanus star syste$.

Proima in .ealit

)roxi$a Centauri %atin "roxi$us, >a, >u$? $eaning Gnext toG or Gnearest toG& is a

red dwarf star %classification M5.5e star& that is a "art of the Al"ha Centauri star syste$

%trinary star& and is the nearest star to the Sun at a distance of /.22 light>years. As the

na$e suggests, it is located in the constellation of Centaurus. 't is belieed that )roxi$aorbits the binary "air with a 500,000 year orbit.

)roxi$a Centauri is categori@ed as a flare star, as it undergoes rando$ increasesin lu$inosity because of $agnetic actiity. 't only has about an eighth of the SunGs $ass,

and conse-uently it has a ery low lu$inosity. =ecause of its "roxi$ity, the si@e of this

star can be $easured directly, giing a dia$eter only one>seenth the si@e of the Sun %*.5ti$es the dia$eter of ;u"iter9 2*/,/3 k$ e-uatorial dia$eter&. !ed dwarfs in general are

far too faint to be obserable with the naked eye, and )roxi$a Centauri is no exce"tion. 't

has an a""arent $agnitude of ** while its absolute $agnitude is a ery di$ *5.5. en

fro$ Al"ha Centauri A or =, )roxi$a would only be seen as a 5th $agnitude star. Hlarestars increase in brightness for "eriods of $inutes to hours and increase the out"ut of

radiation fro$ P>rays to radio waes.

=ecause of its low $ass, the interior of the star is co$"letely conectie, which$eans that energy is transferred to the exterior by the "hysical $oe$ent of "las$a

%rather than through radiatie "rocesses&. Conection is associated with the generation

and storage of a $agnetic field. The $agnetic energy fro$ this field is released at thesurface through stellar flares that briefly increase the oerall lu$inosity of the star. These

flares are hot enough to radiate P>rays, and indeed the -uiescent P>ray lu$inosity of this

star is roughly e-ual to that of the $uch larger star. :oweer, the oerall actiity leel of

this star is considered relatiely low co$"ared to other M>class dwarfs. This actiitya""ears to ary with a "eriod of roughly //2 days.

Conclusions

=ased on this infor$ation, the iberty colony would likely re-uire enclosed citieswith life su""ort syste$s and heay radiation shielding, as the star will "roduce ery little

light and will du$" out larger a$ounts of radiation fro$ ti$e to ti$e.
