The 61 Cygni pair form a wide binary.  Both are variable, but George is mostly stable (classified as a rapid irregular with an amplitude of about 0.1 mag).  61 Cyg A has no habitable planets, however, since it's only terrestrial planet is close to the star and suffers from flares from 61 Cyg A's BY Dra variability.  In 2092, a group was uncovered in the Callisto province on Y'barra who had beem practicing gengineering on their children for many years.
