{{SystemInfobox|controller=October Consortium|allegiance=Independent|security=Anarchy|government=None|population=0|economy=None|image=HIP 87621 sys map.png}}'''HIP 87621''' is an [[independent]] star system owned by the [[October Consortium]]. It is located in the [[Inner Orion Spur]] roughly 400 Ly from [[Sol]].

HIP 87621 was shrouded in mystery for a long time. It gained widespread attention in 3311 due to the disappearance of [[Terri Tora]]<ref>https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/mystery-missing-exobiology-protege-deepens</ref> and the subsequent discovery of unusual exobiological readings from long-range scans.<ref>https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/rackham-funds-exploration-push-after-hip-87621-discovery</ref>

As a part of a Community Goal, Commanders delivered exobiological data to [[Vista Genomics]] at the asteroid base Exogene Sciences in HIP 87621.<ref name=":1">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/692826546dd32b9d010b0432 HIP 87621 At Centre of Major Military Conflict] - 27 Nov 3311</ref> This data confirmed a new species of flora called [[Radicoida Unica|''Radicoida unica'']] on several planetary bodies.<ref name=":1" /> The ''Radicoida unica'' has unique bio-chemical properties that are being researched.<ref name=":1" />

On 27 Nov 3311, the powers issued a call to arms for a military campaign to secure exclusive control over ''Radicoida unica'' in the 49 [[Star Systems|systems]].<ref name=":1" /> The powers issued adversarial statements. A spokesperson for [[Denton Patreus]] stated: ''“Imperial interests cannot allow rivals to dictate the future of HIP 87621. Order must be maintained, and only Imperial governance has the authority to do so.”''<ref name=":1" /> A staff member of [[Nakato Kaine]] said: ''“Members of the Alliance will not sit idle while bullies seek to snatch a legally claimed system by force. We will defend equal access and resist attempts at domination.”''<ref name=":1" />

[[Alliance|Allied]], [[Federation|Federal]], [[Empire|Imperial]] and [[Independent]] [[:Category:Power|powers]] deployed their fleets to preserve their interests and freedom from superpower control of the 49-system enclave around HIP 87621.<ref name=":1" /> Analysts noted that this is the biggest military mobilization since the [[Second Thargoid War]].<ref name=":1" /> The winning power will benefit from the first application of the new technology.<ref name=":1" />

** HIP 87621 3 (Class III Gas Giant)

* HIP 87621 is currently the only system known to contain ''Radicoida unica''.
