Terminus, formerly called Ross 154, is a class M3.5 Ve red dwarf.
Terminus can be reached from Barnard (1.73 Parsec) and Gateway (2.28 parsec)
Terminus was first reached by explorers from Sol by way of Barnard. Because of its distance and poverty, only a small research station was set up and maintained intermittently. It was nicknamed "Terminus" before it had actually been reached, and the nickname stuck, because so many attempts to reach beyond it failed. A "fuel station on Terminus" became a byword for a failed speculative venture. However, jump technology finally caught up with ambition, and explorers managed to reach Gateway. Terminus boomed in an uncontrolled, almost lawless fashion. Up to this time, the hardships in the colonies had demanded cooperation among colonists, but the competition for the best ice mining sites at Terminus often resulted in shocking violence.
