Arcturus Station
Headquarters of the Systems Alliance and home of its fleet. The station guards a junction of mass relays leading into human space.
Host: Arcturus
Arcturus
Orange giant and brightest star of Boötes, among the nearest luminous giants to the Sun. It leads the spring sky north of Virgo and is easy to find by following the Dipper's arc.
Gaia has no usable parallax for this star (common for bright multiples). Distance uses the Hipparcos parallax instead.

Mass Effect
In 2148, humans found Prothean ruins on Mars and learned that ancient mass relays bind the galaxy together. Follow Commander Shepard from Earth to the Citadel, the asari homeworld Thessia and the scarred krogan world Tuchanka, as the galaxy braces for the Reapers. Earth and Arcturus are real. Every other world sits where the game charts it, not where any real star shines.
