  Lacaille 9352
Lacaille 9352 is located about 10.7 light-years (ly) from our Sun, Sol, in the southwestern edge (23:05:42.04-35:51:11.06, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Piscis Australis (or Austrinus), the Southern Fish, near Constellation Grus, the Crane -- southeast of Beta Piscis Australis/Austrini and southwest of Gamma and Delta Piscis Australis/Austrini.
Lacaille 9352 (Gl or GJ 887) is larger
Lacaille 9352 may have less than half (47 percent) of Sol's mass, about half (47 to 57 percent) of its diameter, 1.1 percent of its luminosity, and only about one tenth of Sol's abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen ("metallicity").

 Lacaille 8760 / AX Mic
Also known as AX Microscopii, Lacaille 8760 is located about 12.9 light-years (ly) from our Sun, Sol, in the south central part (21:17:15.3-38:52:2.5, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Microscopium, the Microscope -- south of Alpha Microscopii, southwest of Gamma Microscopii, northwest of Theta1 Microscopii, and north of Zeta and Alpha Indi (The Persian).
Although Lacaille 8760 is the brightest red (more orange-red to some astronomers) dwarf star in Earth's night sky, the star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye by most Humans (Kenneth Croswell, 2002).
Lacaille 8760 may have around 60 percent of Sol's mass (RECONS), about 66 to 72 percent of its diameter ((Pasinetti-Fracassini et al, 2001; Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 699; and Claude H.

 The Brightest Red Dwarf by Ken Croswell
Unfortunately, to the extent that Lacaille is known today, it is primarily for the 14 constellations he added to the southern sky--constellations so dim and pointless that astronomers and casual stargazers alike have complained about them ever since.
Lacaille 8760 must be a slow spinner, since it has too few starspots to alter its light.
Lacaille 8760 skirted closest to the Sun 20,000 years ago, during the last ice age, at a minimum distance of 12.1 light-years.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy of the 21st century is due to the fact that Sufu did not have more than one habitable planet.
Two years after a first colony was established on Lacaille 9352 II, two fervently religious groups settled on the main continent of this watery world.
Both led by very charismatic figures, they soon polarized nearly the entire population of the world to one or the other of their faiths.

One star, Lacaille 9352, is close to the reflexed value of this right ascension.
Moreover, the 61 Cygni double star system is on the Hill star map developed from her contact with the Greys (the relative range of this star system is comparable with the range of seven others which match measured values on this map).
This tends to exclude Lacaille 9352 because it would be quite red in color.

 The Red Dwarf Kings
After the Three Kings developed the system, the stars were observed to darken as if there was an extensive light gathering system in place, and the infrequent flares were replaced by steady coronal emissions in the visible wavelengths.
Similar changes occurred in other nearby red dwarfs, Lacaille 9352 and GL876, over the next three hundred years.
Early Federation attempts to colonise these three systems failed, two Han ships to EZ Aquarii and one Genetekker ship to Lacaille 9352 were caught by unusually large semi-coherent flares and destroyed, while a !Kung colony that established around Gl876 was mysteriously lost.
