The '''Charon system''' is discovered via [[StarCitizen:Helios system|Helios]] late in the [[StarCitizen:2538]] by merchant marine [[StarCitizen:Max Keaton]] on his first run. Solar winds in Helios knocked out Keaton's sensors. Out of a desperation to be on time, he continued on course while running a diagnostic. When systems came back online he realized that he was way off-course, and noticed some strange anomalies in the vicinity. He made note of the coordinates, and when returning, he found a medium-sized [[StarCitizen:Jump Point]] leading to the Charon system.<br />
<br />
Keaton named the system in reference to the ferryman of the dead in greek mythology, as heard from his grandfather, a professor at [[StarCitizen:Rhetor system|Rhetor]]. The reference draws a parallel to [[StarCitizen:Charon IV]] (the blue of the river styx) and [[StarCitizen:Charon V]] (the world of the dead).<br />
<br />
CIG refer to this system as "Charon", not "Kairon", which is how Pluto's moon of the same name is pronounced. This may be lore or a mistake on their part.<br />
<br />
The system remained a remote dead-end until the discovery of [[StarCitizen:Genesis system|Genesis]] in 2812, nearly 300 years later. This isolation had a huge effect on the system's history, harboring a frontier mentality. The remote system was home to the [[StarCitizen:Messer Era|Messers]]' most notorious prisons. Shortly after the fall of the Messers, when declassified data of the atrocities committed in the system came to light, the Governors Council of [[StarCitizen:Charon III]] officially renounced their recognition by the [[StarCitizen:UEE]], becoming the first and only planet to do so. Since then, the planet has been in a near constant state of turmoil as various factions have battled for political and social dominance.<ref name="Loremaker's Guide To The Galaxy: Charon System">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15998-Loremakers-Guide-To-The-Galaxy|text=Loremaker's Guide To The Galaxy: Charon System}}</ref><br />

===Charon===<br />
{{Main|Charon (star)}}<br />
Charon is a K-type main sequence star.<br />
<br />
==Planets==<br />
===Charon I===<br />
{{Main|Charon I}}<br />
Astrophysicists hypothesize that a collision knocked this small terrestrial planet into a decaying orbit to be slowly consumed by its star. It can often appear like a very large comet because the heat of Charon is subliming gases and rocks on Charon I's surface.<br />
<br />
===Charon II===<br />
{{Main|Charon II}}<br />
Thanks to a thick, rolling atmosphere of carbon monoxide, the surface temperature is so extreme on Charon II that all attempts to terraform have failed.<br />
<br />
===Charon III===<br />
{{Main|Charon III}}<br />
Terraformed by the dawn of the [[StarCitizen:26th Century|26th century]], this temperate planet is home to the [[StarCitizen:Phiyi Tower]], considered one of the masterworks of [[StarCitizen:Supermodernism|Supermodernist]] architecture. The planet is currently locked in a bitter [[StarCitizen:Charon III Civil War|civil war]] between the states of [[StarCitizen:Dellin]] and [[StarCitizen:Acheron]].<br />
<br />
===Charon IV===<br />
{{Main|Charon IV}}<br />
A large ice giant on the far side of the [[StarCitizen:Gedinasho Belt|Gedinasho Asteroid Belt]], Charon IV is a swirling ball of methane and ammonia. This vast and cold planet inspired the name of the system.<br />
<br />
===Charon V===<br />
{{Main|Charon V}}<br />
A small world drifting on the fringe of the system. Planetary surveyors have never found anything on scans to justify landing there.<br />
<br />
==Asteroid belts==<br />
The Charon system contains one asteroid belt. The [[StarCitizen:Gedinasho Belt]] is located between the planets Charon III and Charon IV.<ref name="Loremaker's Guide To The Galaxy: Charon System" /><br />
