Trappist-1 is an inhabited system in the Core Systems within the Inner Orion Spur. The system is 42.36 ly away from Sol. In the early 21st century, human astronomers discovered seven terrestrial exoplanets in Trappist-1, the most of any documented system at the time. Three of these exoplanets fell in the system's habitable zone, and one was determined to have the potential to be an Earth-like world. Trappist-1 was colonized following the trailblazers update.

Impact of Discovery on Elite Dangerous

Prior of the announcement of the discovery of TRAPPIST-1 on February 22, 2017, the Stellar Forge in Elite Dangerous had coincidentally generated a system with similar characteristics in nearly the same location: Core Sys Sector XU-P A5-0. In Elite Dangerous: Horizons 2.3, Frontier Developments updated the in-game system to have the same characteristics as the real system, and also renamed it to "Trappist-1".
