The Ilus system, some times referred to as "ILU",[Citation needed] is a gravitationally bound system containing six major planetary bodies in orbit around its governing star. It is the first planetary system that humanity colonized after SOL.
| “ | The new sun was a faint dot of yellow-white light, not all that different from Sol when viewed from the Ring sitting just outside Uranus’ orbit. It had five rocky inner planets, one massive gas giant, and a number of dwarf planets in orbits even farther out than the Ring. | „ |
