At a Glance
21,000 AU from Delta Darius A is Delta Darius B, a warm white dwarf that makes the Delta Darius system a binary. Long ago, Delta Darius B ended its main sequence life cycle in a nova. Today, it is a cold, small white dwarf that emits a lot of electromagnetic "noise." Delta Darius B has 11 planets and, three billion years ago, may have housed life. Today, the cinder-like remains of Delta Darius I-VIII are Chthonian remnant Class D. Darius IX, X, and XI are ice giants- large worlds similar to Neptune. Only Darius XI has a large moon- Darius XIa.
Under its sheets of water and methane ice is a rocky substrate that has been colonized. Darius XI colony is small and most believe entirely dedicated to mining the veins of dilithium on Darius V and Darius VI. In reality, Darius XI takes advantage of natural signal shielding phenomena in the Delta Darius system. The colony has a separate facility that Starfleet Intelligence uses to monitor subspace signals originating within the Romulan Star Empire; most of them are Corvallen, Elohsian, or Barolian in origin and paint only a limited picture of the mysterious Romulans.
