A system in the constellation Cygnus, chi Cygni was originally classified as a 'variable star' as it undergoes regular, radical changes in magnitude -- as bright as 3.3 to as dim as 14.2 over a 400 day period -- when viewed from Sol.
Frameshift drive-enabled exploration of the system revealed that this variability is due to the fact that chi Cygni system actually contains two stars -- a Class K super giant (chi Cygni A) and a normal Class K star (chi Cygni B) -- that are locked in a nearly 16,000 light second-wide binary orbit. The plane of this orbit also happens to be closely aligned with that of Sol, allowing for the smaller, dimmer star to regularly eclipse the larger, brighter star from the prospective of Earth-bound observers.
Seven prospectable high metal content worlds orbit chi Cygni A. Two prospectable high metal content worlds and a Class III gas giant orbit chi Cygni B.
