Default New system type idea

From The Daily Telegraph, 10.April.02, page 16:

"One single star in Aquila galaxy, 10,000 light years from home, has a cloud of ethyl alcohol around it big enough for a bottle of the finest Gordon's for every person on Earth, every day for the next five thousand billion years"

I want such system for my homeworld ! What stellar abilities should it have ?

Random movement, obviously, slight sight obscuration (to represent beer goggles) and maybe there's an ability that will automatically send any ships to the nearest resupply depot (ie kebab shop)

Maybe an 'attract to center', it has to be pretty hard to leave a place like that

Can you make a ship/fleet training facility that subtracts a % each turn?

and the population expansion rate would be huge each turn, think of the beer goggles that would apply

Actually, OTOH, the prevalence of alcohol would mean that the population expansion rate would be minimal due to lack of ability
