FS-176 is the star of the FS-176 solar system. The system is the most frequently visited location in the Metroid series. The planets Zebes, Twin Tabula, Oormine II, Bilium, and Tallon IV are part of the solar system. A holographic image of this solar system can be seen in Metroid Prime in the Observatory, located in Phendrana Drifts. The system and its star were first mentioned by name in the Metroid Manga.

Structure

The planet Bilium orbits closest to the star. Between Bilium and the next closest planet Oormine II lies an asteroid field, which contains fairly large segments, suggesting that either the system is relatively young and is still in the process of forming its planets or that a planet has been destroyed and blown up into pieces.

The third planet is Twin Tabula and the fourth is Zebes. The furthest planet from the star, and also the most massive of the five, is Tallon IV.
