Bryant's Star Station orbits 61 Cygni, a K5/K7 distant binary system 11.4 light years from Sol. The stars orbit each other in an eccentric orbit between 44 AU and 124 AU with a period of 659 years. Bryant's orbits 61 Cygni B. 61 Cygni is also known as GJ 820. FTLECS2 Valiant visits Bryant's in 2262 on its initial tour out of Sol, undoubtedly cementing Bryant's fate in the minds of its residents. ECS4 Golden Hind visits Bryant's in 2268, shortly after Polaris's departure, discovering the station mothballed. Bryant's was claimed and reactivated by the Alliance following the Company Wars.
