Epsilon XI
Blue Giant · Sector D7
Massive, hot star burning through its fuel at an accelerated rate. Intense energy output accelerates stellar evolution timeline.
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.
Ekhara XI
Beta Ursae II
- Beta Ursae II III Dense rocky body with exposed metallic formations. Combat readiness essential when operating in this hostile region. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
- Beta Ursae II III II Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
- Beta Ursae II Omega Frozen world covered in thick layers of water ice. Unknown local powers require careful assessment before approach. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
Lambda Draconis X
- Lambda Draconis X IX Glacial satellite featuring ice geysers and frozen valleys. Independent territory with standard diplomatic protocols. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
- Lambda Draconis X IX II Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
Mu IV
- Mu IV Omega Barren moon where water is scarce but other resources may be abundant. Combat readiness essential when operating in this hostile region. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
Tau Draconis VII
- Tau Draconis VII II Dusty world with extreme temperature variations and sandstorms. Independent territory with standard diplomatic protocols. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
Wormholes
- Orvane Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector C7, the Orvane system: a wide, stable mouth. Small but incredibly dense stellar core with intense gravity.
- Quarelle V Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector E7, the Quarelle V system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Compact star with a habitable zone close to its surface.
Phenomena
- Ekhara Storm A magnetic storm wandering the system: shields flicker and hulls take a beating inside it. It slows any construction it passes over.
- Pulsar D7-433 A spinning neutron star sweeping twin beams of radiation across the system. Nothing is built near it, and pilots keep out of the beams' reach.
- The Omicron 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
- Orrin Cartel proclamation: sector D7 is under the protection of the Orrin Cartel. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- From the Odyssey: we call at every station in Epsilon XI on our circuit. Dock under way; we'll match your speed.
- Survey log, Mu IV Omega: Barren moon where water is scarce but other resources may be abundant.
- Assay office: Cobalt Drift 35 graded at 21. Mining rights by contract only.
- Nav advisory: Epsilon XI is a blue giant. Intense energy output accelerates stellar evolution timeline.
- Old relay, still transmitting: 'This is Ekhara XI traffic control. All lanes nominal.' The station it belonged to is long gone.
- Old relay, still transmitting: 'This is Beta Ursae II traffic control. All lanes nominal.' The station it belonged to is long gone.
- Orrin Cartel proclamation: sector D7 is under the protection of the Orrin Cartel. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Survey notice: the way toward Psi Cassiopeiae III has been charted. Unstable space; approach with caution.
- Survey log, Beta Ursae II: Majestic planet whose rings create stunning celestial displays.
- Memorial buoy: for the crews lost in the 3096 war over Tau Draconis VII. Fly quietly here.
