At a Glance

The Isonzo Star System, known in the Federation database as BD+18 1563 Isonzo, was named by Dr. Giulietti Isonzo, a 22nd Century astronomer aboard the Starship Daedalus who first scanned the system. She named it after her home region and her grandfather, who was a miner that died in the Isonzo mountains. BD+18 1563 Isonzo is over thirty light-years from the coreward-trailing frontier of the Federation. The nearest Federation worlds are Izar (31 light-years) and Denobula Triax (33 light-years).

Initial Survey

A Class X Probe launched from the starship Daedalus passed through the BD+18 1563 Isonzo stars system on December 28th, 2272. Until that time the only survey done by any known group was a small Denobulan medical survey vessel who scanned the system at long-range, looking for habitable worlds. Neither they nor the Daedalus primitive sensors at the time noted anything of particular, immediate interest. The third moon around the gas giant Isonzo IV had nebulous Class P readings. Initial curiosity from the Daedalus was not around the habitability of the system, but some unusual subspace readings and heavy ion storms emitting from the Isonzo star. The Captain of the Daedalus deemed the risk too high to enter the system at the time.
