## System Profile
<!-- READ-ONLY — generated from systems.db -->

| | |
|---|---|
| **Star** | {spectral_class} · {distance} ly |
| **Bodies** | {habitable_count} habitable · {inhabited_count} inhabited |
| **Gates** | {aperture_count} aperture · {topology} |
| **Settlement** | {wave} |
| **History** | {history_tags} |
| **Population** | {population} |
| **Economy** | Tier {n} · {economic_base} |
| **Governance** | {governance_type} · {governance_body} |
| **Atmosphere** | {atmosphere_tags} |
| **Stability** | {stability_level} · {stability_descriptor} |
| **Earth Alignment** | {earth_alignment} |

<!-- Not all fields are required. Unsettled/placeholder systems may omit History,
     Population, Economy, Governance, Atmosphere, Stability, and Earth Alignment.
     Bodies may also be omitted when unknown. -->

---

## Supply Dependency
<!-- What the system produces, what it imports, where the economic leverage lies.
     Required for manufacturing/transit_logistics base and narrative_notable systems. -->

{How the system feeds itself, what it exports, what supply relationships define its
economic position. Where the leverage points are.}

## Faction Notes
<!-- Significant local factions not covered by standard columns.
     Who has institutional presence, who competes, who cooperates. -->

{Faction presence, institutional relationships, political dynamics.}

## Silence Topic
<!-- What the system does not discuss. The administered or organic silence.
     Required for narrative_notable and Institutional Core / Diplomatic Periphery zones. -->

{The thing the system's residents, institutions, or records avoid discussing.
What a visitor would eventually notice is never mentioned.}

## Narrative Hook
<!-- Required if narrative_notable = true. One sentence that captures the
     core dramatic tension or mystery of the system. -->

{One sentence.}

## Calibration Note
<!-- Unusual column combinations requiring justification. Explains why the
     system profile data is internally consistent despite seeming contradictions. -->

{Why the system profile values make sense together. Addresses apparent
contradictions in star type, settlement wave, economic tier, topology, etc.}

## Topology
<!-- READ-ONLY — regenerated from star-map.json edges -->
- **Hop Distance from Gateway:** {n}
- **Adjacent Systems:** {comma-separated GJ IDs}
