Circe is a star system located in the Epsilon Sector. It is a member of the Union of Border Worlds.

Circe hosts at least seven planets, including Circe V and Circe VII. Most of these planets are populated by Terran colonists. The system is a well-established Terran territory that administered a major intelligence network within its vicinity during the Terran-Kilrathi War. This made Circe a prominent center of intelligence activities.

Circe was formerly a member of the Terran Confederation, but joined the Union of Border Worlds when the later declared its independence.

Circe was the center of a bloody civil war during the Border Worlds Conflict of 2673. This war was fought between the legitimate Circean government and rebel forces aided by Terran mercenaries, who in reality were Black Lance operatives. During the conflict, the BWS Intrepid, commanded by former Terran Colonel Christopher Blair, led the Border Worlds effort to evacuate the civilian populace and to end the civil war.
