Pi IX
Blue Giant · Sector D8
Brilliant blue star with intense radiation and short lifespan. Stellar instability may affect long-term settlement viability.
A single asteroid belt rings the system. Which stations, gates and relays stand here changes hour by hour, as the factions contest the galaxy.
Zephyrine
- Zephyrine Iota Dusty world with extreme temperature variations and sandstorms. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Primary food production makes this world valuable for supply operations.
- Zephyrine Gamma Solid rocky satellite with mineral-rich surface deposits. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
- Zephyrine Alpha Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas. Unknown local powers require careful assessment before approach. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
- Zephyrine X Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas. Unknown local powers require careful assessment before approach. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
Pi Persei VIII
- Pi Persei VIII IX Dry satellite featuring ancient riverbeds and mineral deposits. Non-aligned locals keep to cautious but fair trade. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
- Pi Persei VIII Delta Glacial satellite featuring ice geysers and frozen valleys. Allied territory with favorable trade agreements and docking privileges. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
Wormholes
Phenomena
- The Ekhara Cradle A stellar nursery: protostars kindling in a glowing knot of gas and dust. The rocks nearby are rich, and the rare goods trade follows them.
- The Seluna Anomaly A gravitational anomaly: space bends visibly round it. It makes the wormholes here easier to find and to stabilise.
- Halcyra 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, Zephyrine: Verdant planet with extensive forests and fertile agricultural regions.
- Assay office: Corundum Crag 66 graded at 24. Mining rights by contract only.
- Survey log, Zephyrine X: Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas.
- Survey log, Zephyrine X: Arid moon with sand-covered plains and rocky mesas.
- The Swarm proclamation: sector D8 is under the protection of the The Swarm. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Notice from Pi Persei VIII Refinery: buying ore, selling alloys. Fair prices, fast berths.
- Survey notice: the way toward Epsilon XI has been charted. Unstable space; approach with caution.
- The Swarm proclamation: sector D8 is under the protection of the The Swarm. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Intel brief, Pi Persei VIII: Allied territory with favorable trade agreements and docking privileges. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
- The Swarm proclamation: sector D8 is under the protection of the The Swarm. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Warning to all pilots: raiders out of Talon's Perch have been seen on the lanes past Pi Persei VIII. Travel in convoy.
- From the Halcyon: we call at every station in Pi IX on our circuit. Dock under way; we'll match your speed.
- Recovered log, drive failure off Pi Persei VIII: 'Holding orbit. Life support at forty percent. If anyone hears this, we're on the inner lane.'
