Red dwarf double system, former member of Eridanus League.
Refugees from the Great Expulsion from Earth departed the Solar System in 692 AT in the Shorelark, a Skylark class ship, assisted by the Goddess of Earth (GAIA). They reached p Eridani in 820 AT, constructed several rotating space habitats and colonised a number of small planetoids, since there were no planets suitable for terraforming.
P Eridani joined the Eridanus League in 850 AT, and sent system control ships to Kang 021 system to help suppress a rebellion in 940.
On the breakup of the League, this system joined the NoCoZo. Starting in 6509 AT, a program of building Bishop Rings was commenced, and this system now contains forty two examples of this megastructure.
