Omega Orionis VIII
Red Dwarf · Sector B5
Ancient stellar body with billions of years of remaining fuel. Long-term stellar stability makes this system ideal for permanent settlements.
Two asteroid belts ring the system, one inside the other. Which stations, gates and relays stand here changes hour by hour, as the factions contest the galaxy.
Xi Lyrae I
Quarelle IX
- Quarelle IX Iota Pristine ice world with potential for water extraction operations. Diplomatic neutrality offers opportunities for all factions. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
Imrael
Ysmere XII
- Ysmere XII Phi Glacial satellite featuring ice geysers and frozen valleys. Allied territory with favorable trade agreements and docking privileges. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
- Ysmere XII Pi Frozen world covered in thick layers of water ice. Combat readiness essential when operating in this hostile region. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
- Ysmere XII XII Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity. Diplomatic neutrality offers opportunities for all factions. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
- Ysmere XII XI Glacial satellite featuring ice geysers and frozen valleys. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
Eta Ceti VII
- Eta Ceti VII IX Barren moon where water is scarce but other resources may be abundant. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
- Eta Ceti VII I Crystalline moon with subsurface oceans beneath the ice shell. Friendly relations ensure safe passage and potential assistance. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
- Eta Ceti VII IV Cratered moon featuring valuable ore veins and mining potential. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
Kappa VI
- Kappa VI Beta Barren moon where water is scarce but other resources may be abundant. Established diplomatic ties provide security and commercial opportunities. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
- Kappa VI I Solid rocky satellite with mineral-rich surface deposits. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
- Kappa VI XI Crystalline moon with subsurface oceans beneath the ice shell. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
- Kappa VI I II Dry satellite featuring ancient riverbeds and mineral deposits. Friendly relations ensure safe passage and potential assistance. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
Kethis XII
- Kethis XII Mu Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas. Non-aligned locals keep to cautious but fair trade. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
- Kethis XII Iota Dry satellite featuring ancient riverbeds and mineral deposits. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
Wormholes
- Halcyra VII Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector B4, the Halcyra VII system: a wide, stable mouth. Compact star representing the final stage of stellar evolution.
- Rho III Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector C5, the Rho III system: a faint, flickering tear. Massive, hot star burning through its fuel at an accelerated rate.
Phenomena
- The Brevane Anomaly A gravitational anomaly: space bends visibly round it. It makes the wormholes here easier to find and to stabilise.
- Quarelle Storm A magnetic storm wandering the system: shields flicker and hulls take a beating inside it. It slows any construction it passes over.
Relays
- Survey log, Imrael: Desolate world suitable only for mining operations and research stations.
- Survey log, Ysmere XII XII: Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity.
- Warning to all pilots: raiders out of Claw Rock have been seen on the lanes past Xi Lyrae I. Travel in convoy.
- From the Meridian: we call at every station in Omega Orionis VIII on our circuit. Dock under way; we'll match your speed.
- Old relay, still transmitting: 'This is Quarelle IX traffic control. All lanes nominal.' The station it belonged to is long gone.
- Survey log, Kappa VI: Colossal world of hydrogen and helium with no solid surface.
- Nav advisory: Omega Orionis VIII is a red dwarf. Long-term stellar stability makes this system ideal for permanent settlements.
- Orrin Cartel proclamation: sector B5 is under the protection of the Orrin Cartel. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Assay office: Magnetite Spire 34 graded at 36. Mining rights by contract only.
- Nav advisory: Omega Orionis VIII is a red dwarf. Long-term stellar stability makes this system ideal for permanent settlements.
- Recovered log, drive failure off Imrael: 'Holding orbit. Life support at forty percent. If anyone hears this, we're on the inner lane.'
