In real-world astronomy, there are only two stars within the Cygnus constellation within UNSC territory, Epsilon Cygni, which is 0.8 lightyears from Earth, and 16 Cygni, which is, at 0.06 lightyears from Earth, much closer. It is not known which of these two is inhabited, or indeed whether both are.
