Haneb

Haneb is a fictional celestial body featured in the science fiction novel "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers. It is a gas giant located in the Slipstream, a network of stable, traversable wormholes that allow for faster-than-light travel. Haneb itself is not directly visited or explored in the novel, but its presence is significant as it marks a crucial junction within the Slipstream network.

The planet's importance lies in its location relative to established routes and its potential for future development. Its orbit and gravitational influence play a role in the stability and navigability of the surrounding Slipstream pathways. While details about Haneb's atmospheric composition, moons, or internal structure are not provided, its existence highlights the complex and expansive nature of the universe Chambers has created. It serves as a geographical marker, essential for interstellar navigation and trade within the story's universe. The name "Haneb" itself suggests a sense of remoteness or a destination not yet fully understood or exploited by the civilizations that utilize the Slipstream.
