I've just finished remaking the Polaris system. I've used all the data I could find about the stars of the system, from sources like Wikipedia and ArXiv.
NOTE: Polaris A and B are implemented as seperate systems altogether due to the large distance between them and the fact that there is virtually nothing known about B's orbit.

EDIT: Just noticed an oversight. I've put Polaris AA's orbit as static, though it should be elliptical. I'll fix this later.
