The Tamsa system is a planetary system in the United Empire of Earth (UEE). Uniquely among UEE systems, its two planets revolve around a black hole rather than a star. The innermost world is thought to have been a rogue planet before it was captured by the black hole, while the outermost planet likely formed in the black hole's accretion disk.
The system was discovered in SEY 2943 by Banu explorer Kofi Baféuma, who sold the rights to the system to the UEE under the condition that they be allowed to name it after noted Human visual artist Tamsa Wheel.
Currently, Tamsa is accessible only via the Banshee-Tamsa jump point, but UEE officials hope that other jump points will be found in the near future.
