Oberon System

The Oberon system is an unclaimed planetary system discovered in SEY 2356 that consists of a neutron star, a super-Earth, a terrestrial planet, two protoplanets, a mesoplanet, a gas dwarf, and a gas giant. In spite of its dangerous, dim star and multiple connections to [Vanduul](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VpGPp92gdO-vanduul)-occupied systems, there are majority-[Human](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) settlements on [Gonn (Oberon I)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VJXAYN81Q5-gonn-oberon-i) and [Uriel (Oberon II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RL673Gxjjv-uriel-oberon-ii). Because the neutron star at the system's center makes above-ground colonization profoundly dangerous, nearly all homesteads in Oberon are located underground. In 2946, the [United Empire of Earth Navy](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RPDvKOpdP4-uee-navy) (UEEN) received intelligence that a [Vanduul Clan](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R9vzjxmEBx-vanduul-clans) was preparing to launch an invasion of the Oberon system. Under the orders of Admiral [Ernst Bishop](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/ReJaavPB3k-ernst-bishop), the UEES *Retribution* ambushed and destroyed the Clan as it entered the system. Since then, the UEEN has maintained a presence in Oberon in case of future Vanduul attacks.
