GROOMBRIDGE 1618 is an older main-sequence orange dwarf that is generating energy by fusing hydrogen at its core. There are a total of five planets in orbit and a relatively dense field of asteroids and silicate dust located at the distant edge of the system.  This star also has nearly equal the amount of heavy elements as Sol and the outer regions are filled with substantial amounts of Tiberium ore.
