[edit] Star Geography
Yeltsin's Star was classified as an F6-type sun. It was orbited by at least six planets, including Grayson and the gas giant Uriel, which had several moons, including Blackbird.
The system's location, halfway between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the People's Republic of Haven, made it a strategicallly relevant system between the two powers. (HH2)
[edit] History
In 988 PD, Grayson was colonized by settlers from Earth. At the time, the system had not been surveyed.
Grayson Traffic Control directed all the incoming and outgoing traffic for the system.
In 1903 PD, the Star Kingdom of Manticore started to send money and supplies to help bolster the system's infrastructure and defenses. One of the agreements would be Manticore getting basing rights, establishing facilities (which would be shared with Grayson), and a permanent security detachment.
The First Battle of Yeltsin's Star occurred, and ended with the Navy of Masada patrolling the system. When HMS Fearless, HMS Apollo, and HMS Troubadour returned from the Casca System, they were ambushed by the Masadan LACs , which were all destroyed or captured.
Captain Honor Harrington and RMN forces set up a system of recon drones as a sensor net to help detect incursions from Masada.
The Second Battle of Yeltsin's Star was fought between Masadan and Manticoran units, with an RMN victory. (HH2)
