A rather old (9 billion years) and metal-poor (20%) F8V star located 30 light years from us.  No known planets.  It’s traveling through our area of space at a higher velocity than most other nearby stars, indicating that it’s an “old disk” star wandering through from elsewhere in the galaxy.  Who knows, maybe some ancient race terraformed a planet around it long ago -- and have since happily been drifting from one spiral arm to the next!
