This system is both the most distant system from Sol at 65,647.34 ly, and also the system furthest north of Sol at 65,630.16 ly. Semotus Beacon was first discovered by CMDR Ishum in June 3302, after the jump ranges of the original Frame Shift Drives were drastically increased through Engineering.
Since then, the system has become a popular destination for explorers, often seen as a rite of passage, to go as far away from Sol as is possible.

Body B 9 f in 3308

There is another often-visited destination inside the star system itself, the moon designated as B 9 f, which is better known by the name that the first person who landed there gave it: Salomé’s Reach. (Named after the alias of Kahina Tijani Loren.) The orbit of this body takes it the farthest away from the main star, and thus, this is the most distant object from Sol that an explorer can visit and land on.

Reaching Semotus Beacon requires a ship capable of making a 82.68 ly jump, which is well within the reach of what’s possible today, thanks to the use of synthesised jump boosts. The following route was found during the SHEPARD Expedition:

1. Myeia Thaa RI-B d13-1 -> Myeia Thaa QI-B d13-0: 58.74 ly
2. Myeia Thaa QI-B d13-0 -> Myeia Thaa QI-B d13-1: 37.80 ly
3. Myeia Thaa QI-B d13-1 -> Myeia Thaa UO-Z d13-0: 50.31 ly
4. Myeia Thaa UO-Z d13-0 -> Ceeckaea QK-C d14-0: 56.14 ly
5. Ceeckaea QK-C d14-0 -> Oevasy MA-A d0: 66.32 ly
6. Oevasy MA-A d0 -> Oevasy NA-A d0: 53.69 ly
7. Oevasy NA-A d0 -> Oevasy RG-Y d0: 82.68 ly
8. Oevasy RG-Y d0 -> Oevasy SG-Y d0: 50.07 ly
