Munro is a star system in the Vega Sector. It is a major Terran territory. It hosts a number of planets, with Munro being the only inhabitable one.
Munro is one of the major gateways of the Orion Arm of the galaxy, as it hosts two jump points that link the Terran star system of Proxima to the Kilrathi homeworld at Kilrah. Munro provides the most direct routes to the capitals of the two warring factions of the Terran-Kilrathi War, as Proxima lies just outside the Sol System, home to humanity's homeworld of Earth. Therefore, Munro was a hotly-contested star system where some of the War's worst battles occurred.
At least six separate battles are known to have occurred at Munro. In 2668, the Terrans bombarded the planet Munro in order to quell the Kilrathi defenses stationed there. The system was also the location of an engagement between TCS Concordia and TCS Tarawa and a Kilrathi light carrier group. Rear Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn was stripped of his rank and dishonorably discharged for ordering the strike after he had learned of the armistice between the Confederation and the Kilrathi. This was later discovered to be a ploy to allow Tolwyn to take a scouting fleet to the Landreich.
