System Information
X:Y Coordinates44.85:-132.08[e]

The Achilles system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and was a part of the Sarna Commonality of the Capellan Confederation as at 2765.[1] In 3090 an expedition launched by Interstellar Expeditions investigated the system in detail in the belief that Achilles was a plausible possibility for the location of Obeedah, one of the Word of Blake's Hidden Five worlds. Closer investigation showed that the system was merely a Blakist storage depot.[2]

System History

The Achilles system was settled during the Star League era[3][4] and vanished from maps during the Third Succession War.[5][6]
