UNTJS009, is a UN claimed solar system accessed from the Uwazi JP Nexus. UNTJS009 is closer to earth than Proxima centauri, making it the nearest star to Sol discovered yet. Astronomers suspect there is a thick dark nebula lying between the systems blocking what would normally be the second brightest star in the Sol sky.

UNTJS 009 is binary star system located at right ascension 2h 39m 7.2s, declination 5°56'24", approximately 1.226 parsecs from Earth (~4 light years) in the direction of the constellation Cetus. The primary is a G0-V star, 10% larger and 8% more massive than the sun, with an energy output just over twice that of Sol. The single companion star is an M3 red dwarf, only 2% as luminous as Sol. The primary has a small planetary system, while the red dwarf orbits alone beyond the outermost planet with a semi-major axis of 2400 AU.

Planets

The innermost planet, UNTJS 009-A I, is a small rocky body with no atmosphere, orbiting 52m km from the primary. It is large enough to have a human-compatible surface gravity, but has a surface temperature well over the boiling point of water.

The next planet (A II) is a very large gas giant orbiting 94m km from the primary. It has a mass nearly ten times that of Jupiter. This close in, gravitational perturbations from the primary have stripped this planet of all its moons.

UNTJS 009-A III is another small, rocky body, orbiting 202m km from the primary. It has a diameter about 20% that of Earth, though its mass is much lower, only half a percent of that of Earth. Together, they give it a surface gravity of 0.154g, enough to support human habitation. With a moderately cold average temperature of -31.7°C, bringing the planet to habitability would be difficult, but not as difficult as many outer system bodies in other systems. Unfortunately, the lack of an atmosphere means that a large portion of oxygen would need to be added.

UNTJS009-A IV is similar in many ways to A III, but larger and colder, orbiting at 278m km. With a mass about 2.5% that of Earth and a radius about a third of Earth's, the surface gravity is 0.226g, sufficient for human colonization. However, similar to A III, the cold temperatures (average global surface temperature: -40.3°C) and lack of atmosphere make it a long shot for colonization. A IV possesses a small asteroid moon that orbits once every 14 hours, just 8800 km above the surface.

The outermost planet, UNTJS 009-A V, is a heavily cratered body, and the largest of the system's terrestrial planets. Orbiting at 349m km from the primary, the body is about 40% the radius of Earth, with a mass about 4% that of Earth, combining for a surface gravity of 0.291g. The planet has a trace atmosphere, but frigid temperatures make it unlikely to be a primary target for colonization efforts.
