Famous as the first true corporate system and is also notable for the first interstellar war. Since 2350, the [[Sirius Corporation]] has been using the vast amounts of cheap energy available on Lucifer from coils wrapped around the planet for synthesis of custom elements (particularly military-grade fuel).<ref>https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/19974/name/Sirius</ref><br />
<br />
Lucifer is a landable high metal content world. The system coordinates are 6.25 / -1.28125 / -5.75.<br />
<br />
The ancient name is Alpha Canis Majoris.<br />
<br />
In 2339 a commercial colonial expedition reached the unusual binary Sirius system. The colonisation was the first solely corporate colonial mission and the company rapidly rose to become the premier supplier of drive fuel throughout human space.<ref>Tourist Beacon 0202</ref><br />
<br />
Access to Sirius requires acquiring a [[Permits|permit]] from [[Sirius Corporation]] by becoming [[reputation|allied]] with the independent faction, and accepting the Permit Acquisition Opportunity mission from the Mission Board.<br />
