Rho III
Blue Giant · Sector C5
Massive, hot star burning through its fuel at an accelerated rate. Intense energy output accelerates stellar evolution timeline.
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.
Ekhara IX
Wormholes
- Omega Orionis VIII Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector B5, the Omega Orionis VIII system: a faint, flickering tear. Ancient stellar body with billions of years of remaining fuel.
- Omicron Andromedae XI Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector C4, the Omicron Andromedae XI system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Dense stellar remnant slowly cooling over cosmic time.
- Kethis Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector C6, the Kethis system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Medium-sized star in the prime of its stellar evolution.
- Morvath Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector D5, the Morvath system: a wide, stable mouth. Dim red star providing gentle warmth to its planetary system.
Phenomena
- The Taraxis 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 Ekhara Anomaly A gravitational anomaly: space bends visibly round it. It makes the wormholes here easier to find and to stabilise.
- Thuleon Storm A magnetic storm wandering the system: shields flicker and hulls take a beating inside it. It slows any construction it passes over.
Relays
- Orrin Cartel proclamation: sector C5 is under the protection of the Orrin Cartel. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Assay office: Chromite Drift 93 graded at 48. Mining rights by contract only.
- Warning to all pilots: raiders out of Claw Rock have been seen on the lanes past Ekhara IX. Travel in convoy.
- From the Concordia: we call at every station in Rho III on our circuit. Dock under way; we'll match your speed.
- Orrin Cartel proclamation: sector C5 is under the protection of the Orrin Cartel. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Notice from Ekhara IX Exchange II: buying goods, selling credits. Fair prices, fast berths.
- Orrin Cartel proclamation: sector C5 is under the protection of the Orrin Cartel. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Warning to all pilots: raiders out of The Kennel have been seen on the lanes past Ekhara IX. Travel in convoy.
- Orrin Cartel proclamation: sector C5 is under the protection of the Orrin Cartel. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- From the Concordia: we call at every station in Rho III on our circuit. Dock under way; we'll match your speed.
- Memorial buoy: for the crews lost in the 3058 war over Ekhara IX. Fly quietly here.
- Old relay, still transmitting: 'This is Ekhara IX traffic control. All lanes nominal.' The station it belonged to is long gone.
- Survey notice: the way toward Kethis has been charted. Unstable space; approach with caution.
