Groombridge 34 is a binary star system that consists of two red dwarf stars in a nearly circular orbit with a separation of about 147 astronomical units.[1] Both stars in this pair exhibit variability due to random flares, and they have been given variable star designations. (The brighter member Groombridge 34 A is designated GX And, and the other member is designated GQ And). It is located within the Inner Colonies. The system is approximately 11.62 light-years from earth. Groombridge 34 was the decommission-site for Construction Platform 966A.
