The Draconis Subcluster is a subcluster of star systems located entirely within the Local Cluster.
It is situated rimward of the Solar Subcluster, between the Apollo Subcluster spinward, and the Amazonia Cluster trailward.
The subcluster includes no traditional sovereign states, but is host to a great number of orbital districts and space stations.
The Draconis Subcluster is principally comprised of three primary star systems: Delta Draconis, Sigma Draconis, and Theta Draconis.
Etymology
Genitive of Draco used when naming stars, borrowed from Latin Dracō, itself a borrowing from Ancient Greek Δρᾰ́κων (Drákōn, “dragon, sharp sighted”). Doublet of dracone, dragon and dragoon.

Boundaries
Draconis-Solar Subcluster
The boundary between the Draconis Subcluster and the Solar Subcluster runs roughly between Delta Draconis-Lalande.
Draconis-Apollo Subcluster
The boundary between the Draconis Subcluster and the Apollo Subcluster runs roughly between Theta Draconis-Artemis.
Draconis-Trailward
The trailward boundary of the Draconis Subcluster runs roughly between Sigma Draconis-Tau Eridanus.
Translight Strings
There are a total of three translight strings connecting the three star systems of the Draconis Subcluster. There are no unstable translight strings within the Draconis Subcluster.
There are no star systems in the Draconis Subcluster with four or more translight strings connecting to them.
