This stellar system lies in the nebula IC 1396. All three components are massive stars, and the intense ultraviolet radiation they give off ionizes the gas of IC 1396, and causes compression denser globules of the nebula, leading to star formation. The stellar wind produced by the stars is strong enough to strip nearby stars of their protoplanetary disks.

The system is a member of the Cepheus OB2 stellar association, which notably includes evolved blue and red supergiants such as Nu Cephei, Mu Cephei, and VV Cephei.
