Gate builders don't place two horizon stations in one star system.
Binary pairs (A/B components of same physical star) split to
independent stars. Each "move" system keeps its connections and
content, only the host star changes.
Migrations:
- GJ 559A (Rigil Kentaurus) -> GJ 768 (Altair) — rewritten for new star
- GJ 725A (Renaissance) -> GJ 251
- GJ 820A -> GJ 3877 (Tessera — compact/records world)
- GJ 570B -> GJ 1156
- GJ 783B -> GJ 299
- GJ 663B (Guniibuu B) -> GJ 1286 (Kensho — university world)
- GJ 338A -> GJ 4053
- GJ 280B -> GJ 3991
- GJ 15B -> GJ 4274
New system names and roles assigned:
- Tessera: founding compact + institutional records
- Kensho: university world, largest Institute presence
- Vargr: mining (DSMC, MVG/GC minority stakes)
- Parallax: media world (was Procyon)
- Lu Ban: failed corp / mixed industrial (was Groombridge 34)
- Altair: southern gateway (was Rigil Kentaurus)
- Keid: garden world / ecological reservation
- Ross 128: ocean world (fishing, research, tourism)
Also adds docs/design/gj-catalog-full.json (3801 GJ entries from
HYG v4.2) for future star assignment.
