The Arcturus Subcluster is a subcluster of star systems located entirely within the Local Cluster.
It is situated coreward-by-trailward of the Solar Subcluster, between the Mare Nostrum trailward and Vega Cluster coreward-by-spinward.
The subcluster includes one sovereign state.
The Arcturus Subcluster is principally comprised of seven primary star systems: Arcturus, Artio, Cassini, Catania, Dæl, Nimrod, and Serafino.
Etymology
Latinised from the ancient Greek Ἀρκτοῦρος ("Arktouros") and means "Guardian of the Bear", ultimately from ἄρκτος ("arktos"), meaning "bear" and οὖρος ("ouros"), meaning "watcher, guardian".
Astrography
Boundaries
Arcturus-Vega Cluster
The boundary between the Arcturus Subcluster and the Vega Cluster runs roughly between Arcturus-Cassiopeia.
Arcturus-Amazonia Cluster
The boundary between the Arcturus Subcluster and the Amazonia Cluster runs roughly between Cassini-Pico Da Neblina.
Arcturus-Trailward
The Trailward boundary of the Arcturus Subcluster runs roughly between Arcturus-Kerrigan.
Translight Strings
There are eight translight strings connecting the seven star systems of the Arcturus Subcluster. There are no unstable translight strings within the Arcturus Subcluster.
There is one star system in the Arcturus Subcluster with four or more translight strings connecting to it: Arcturus.
