The Lytton System was a small, nominally independent star system within a few light years of the Sasebo System, which contained a terminus of the Erewhon Wormhole Junction. In the first half of the 19th Century PD, the Mesan slaver company Manpower Incorporated tried to establish a base in Lytton to support its slave trade in the region, but the Republic of Beowulf convinvced the Solarian League to permanently station a Frontier Fleet destroyer detachment in the system.
