Although you could stretch it to encompass these stars:
Luyten 725-32 at 12.4ly ( as opposed to Luyten 726-8A/B at 8.4 ly, so
don't be puttin' just Luyten :) )
Kapteyn's star at 12.7ly
Krueger 60A/B at 12.8ly ( binary star system )
If you're not travelling at c, then ne'er mind :)
Hmm.. after giving the subject a little more thought, I have a more
likely canditate.
t Ceti at 11.9ly
Why is this more likely? It's a G8 V type star. The sun is G2 V. That's
only six degrees away as opposed to the other ones which are M class
stars. 'course, the shorter distance means the ship will have to be
moving at... 2.856x10^8 m/s, as opposed to ~3.0e10^8 I had said earlier.
