Replaced fabricated designations with real Gliese-Jahreiss entries
sourced from HYG Database v4.1. Selection: 215 G/K/F + 75 M + 10
unusual (white dwarfs, flare stars, subdwarfs) = 300 systems.
Habitable star types (G/K/F) are preferred at each distance shell,
spreading usable planets wider through the network. M-dwarfs fill
remaining slots — station economies, mining, frontier outposts.
Distance range: 4.2-46.8 ly. 51 named stars including Tau Ceti
(Gateway), Alpha Centauri, Delta Pavonis, Barnard's Star, Sirius,
Procyon, Arcturus, Pollux, Vega, Fomalhaut.

All systems use Gliese-Jahreiss (GJ) designations as primary catalog.
35 real nearby stars assigned by proximity to Gateway; 265 fabricated
across GJ sub-catalogs (main, southern, supplement, post-settlement).
Notable assignments:
- Gateway (S-001): GJ 71 / Tau Ceti
- Alpha Centauri A/B (S-090): GJ 559A, binary junction at hop 3
- Delta Pavonis (S-265): GJ 780, core dead_end at hop 2

300-node gate network with 334 edges, generated from seed config then
hand-balanced and tuned. Gateway (S-001) is the first hop from Earth
with 4 active + 1 dormant Sol aperture.
Final topology: 20% dead_end, 14% spur_end, 31% through_route,
10% loop_member, 19% junction, 6% hub. Frontier sectors have
distinct linear corridors; core is densely interconnected.
Includes generation pipeline (generate, sculpt, patch-core, tune),
seed config, and star-map-plan.md with algorithm documentation.
