The Essaian system was a star system encased by the Barrier of Essai, a rudimentary Dyson sphere near the Beta Origi nebula in "the Triangle", a region within the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants.
History and specifics[]
The Essaian system consisted of one star and ten planets. In the 16th century, Essaians discovered that a nearby yellow giant would soon erupt into a supernova. To save their culture, they pulverized all the orbital bodies in the system besides their homeworld, using the debris to build a protective wall around the system.
Since the 17th century, the system's orbit has only contained first planet Essai, its remaining shipyards, and one prototype starship.
In the late 23rd century, the system was first discovered by Klingon survivors from the wrecked IKS K'vinta. (FASA RPG module: The Barrier of Essai)
