On January 5th 3303, the first encounter with a live alien space-faring vessel took place within this system when CMDR DP Sayre's starship was hyperdicted.

Many speculations about the nature of that encounter - and in fact about the species encountered - still abound and quite a few surveys were subsequently carried out in the system's vicinity.

The alien vessel looked remarkably similar to a type of 'Sunflower' head - particularly an earth bound plant called Illicium Verum - "Star Anise".

Following this first incident, several pilots have reported similar encounters. Many of these have taken place close to the Pleiades, but there are also reports of these incidents as far as 250 LY from that star cluster.
