Cohen 136, commonly called just "Cohen," is a binary star system in which the two suns, Cohen 136 A and Cohen 136 B, orbit near to each other. It is named after a tireless explorer of the Imperial era, who surveyed hundreds of systems in his long, mostly solitary life. (His legacy includes numerous uninhabited systems still designated "Cohen X" where X is some number.)
The system is noted as the location of three of the Twelve Worlds, and of the capital of the Allied Worlds.
