Charon is a star system in the Epsilon Sector. It is on the frontier of the Kilrathi Empire, and well outside the influence of the Terran Confederation.

Charon became embroiled in the Terran-Kilrathi War during the Defense of Firekka in 2655, in which the Terran Confederation fought to defend the Firekkan homeworld of Firekka from a massive Kilrathi invasion.

Firekka freed itself from the invaders in the days that followed.

The Tiger's Claw conducted several defensive missions at Charon on 2655.295. These include:
