* A world in Larry Niven's Known Space stories.

Many of Niven's stories take place in his Known Space universe, in which humanity shares the several habitable solar systems nearest to the Sun with over a dozen alien species, including the aggressive feline Kzinti and the very intelligent but cowardly Pierson's Puppeteers, which are frequently central characters.

Known Space is the fictional setting of some dozen science fiction novels and several collections of short stories written by author Larry Niven.

The stories that constitute the Known Space series were originally conceived as two separate series: the Belter stories, featuring solar-system colonization and slower-than-light travel with fusion-powered and Bussard ramjet ships, and the Neutron Star / Ringworld series of stories, set much further into the future, which feature faster-than-light ships using " hyperdrive ".

Unlike many fictional universes, the component tales of Known Space were largely released as short stories or serials in various science fiction anthology magazines.

Those aspirations are remembered in science fiction such as Arthur C. Clarke's A Fall of Moondust and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Joanna Russ's 1968 novel Picnic on Paradise, and Larry Niven's Known Space stories.
