Taraxis IX
Red Dwarf · Sector C2
Ancient stellar body with billions of years of remaining fuel. Long-term stellar stability makes this system ideal for permanent settlements.
Its asteroids gather in two Trojan swarms, leading and trailing one of the planets. Which stations, gates and relays stand here changes hour by hour, as the factions contest the galaxy.
Lambda Ursae XII
- Lambda Ursae XII Beta Crystalline moon with subsurface oceans beneath the ice shell. Friendly relations ensure safe passage and potential assistance. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.

Taraxis
- Taraxis VI Pristine ice world with potential for water extraction operations. Diplomatic neutrality offers opportunities for all factions. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Primary food production makes this world valuable for supply operations.
- Taraxis I Crystalline moon with subsurface oceans beneath the ice shell. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
- Taraxis V Solid rocky satellite with mineral-rich surface deposits. Diplomatic neutrality offers opportunities for all factions. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
Psi Andromedae VI
- Psi Andromedae VI Nu Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas. Allied territory with favorable trade agreements and docking privileges. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
- Psi Andromedae VI I Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
- Psi Andromedae VI XI Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity. Allied territory with favorable trade agreements and docking privileges. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
Quarelle IV
- Quarelle IV Kappa Cratered moon featuring valuable ore veins and mining potential. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
- Quarelle IV XII Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
- Quarelle IV Epsilon Cratered moon featuring valuable ore veins and mining potential. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
- Quarelle IV IX Pristine ice world with potential for water extraction operations. Established diplomatic ties provide security and commercial opportunities. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
Morvath
Wormholes
- Valmora Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector C1, the Valmora system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Small but incredibly dense stellar core with intense gravity.
- Tolvar Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector D2, the Tolvar system: a strong, steady throat. Brilliant blue star with intense radiation and short lifespan.
Phenomena
- The Xi Veil A drifting cloud of ionised gas. Inside it sensors go blind and engines choke: ships crawl through, and raiders love to hide in it.
Relays
- Survey log, Lambda Ursae XII Beta: Crystalline moon with subsurface oceans beneath the ice shell.
- Old relay, still transmitting: 'This is Taraxis traffic control. All lanes nominal.' The station it belonged to is long gone.
- Ashfall Directorate proclamation: sector C2 is under the protection of the Ashfall Directorate. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Nav advisory: Taraxis IX is a red dwarf. Long-term stellar stability makes this system ideal for permanent settlements.
- Assay office: Tritium Ice Hollow 74 graded at 43. Mining rights by contract only.
- Survey log, Psi Andromedae VI Nu: Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas.
- Ashfall Directorate proclamation: sector C2 is under the protection of the Ashfall Directorate. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Recovered log, drive failure off Quarelle IV: 'Holding orbit. Life support at forty percent. If anyone hears this, we're on the inner lane.'
- Survey log, Psi Andromedae VI I: Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas.
- Survey notice: the way toward Tolvar has been charted. Unstable space; approach with caution.
- Warning to all pilots: raiders out of Talon's Roost have been seen on the lanes past Psi Andromedae VI. Travel in convoy.
