The Ellis system is a planetary system located in the United Empire of Earth (UEE) that consists of thirteen planets, one asteroid belt, and one F-type main sequence star. Most famously home to annual spacecraft race the Murray Cup, its three habitable planets are all centers of tourism or scientific interest in their own right. Ellis is also a main thoroughfare for commercial travel and the long-haul transportation of resources to and from the Sol and Terra systems. Lines to land at the many rest stop stations orbiting the planet Walleye (Ellis IX) can be hours long during Murray Cup season.
