Ombrine
Blue Giant · Sector J4
Brilliant blue star with intense radiation and short lifespan. Intense energy output accelerates stellar evolution timeline.
A single asteroid belt rings the system. Which stations, gates and relays stand here changes hour by hour, as the factions contest the galaxy.
Theta Cassiopeiae VIII
- Theta Cassiopeiae VIII I Frozen world covered in thick layers of water ice. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
Iota III
- Iota III VII 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. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
- Iota III Omicron Dusty world with extreme temperature variations and sandstorms. Enemy forces may engage on sight - avoid unless absolutely necessary. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
- Iota III XI 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.
Nu VI
- Nu VI VI 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.
- Nu VI Xi Crystalline moon with subsurface oceans beneath the ice shell. Independent territory with standard diplomatic protocols. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
Nythera
- Nythera I Frozen world covered in thick layers of water ice. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
Pi Ceti IV
Wormholes
- Tau Persei VI Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector J5, the Tau Persei VI system: a strong, steady throat. Medium-sized star in the prime of its stellar evolution.
Phenomena
- Imrael Storm A magnetic storm wandering the system: shields flicker and hulls take a beating inside it. It slows any construction it passes over.
- The Calyxa Anomaly A gravitational anomaly: space bends visibly round it. It makes the wormholes here easier to find and to stabilise.
- Pulsar J4-352 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.
Relays
- Survey log, Nythera: Majestic planet whose rings create stunning celestial displays.
- Recovered log, drive failure off Pi Ceti IV: 'Holding orbit. Life support at forty percent. If anyone hears this, we're on the inner lane.'
- Ithrani Veil proclamation: sector J4 is under the protection of the Ithrani Veil. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Ithrani Veil proclamation: sector J4 is under the protection of the Ithrani Veil. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Intel brief, Pi Ceti IV: Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
- Nav advisory: Ombrine is a blue giant. Intense energy output accelerates stellar evolution timeline.
- Intel brief, Nu VI: Allied territory with favorable trade agreements and docking privileges. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Manufacturing capabilities offer repair services and equipment procurement.
- Notice from Theta Cassiopeiae VIII Refinery: buying ore, selling alloys. Fair prices, fast berths.
- From the Providence: we call at every station in Ombrine on our circuit. Dock under way; we'll match your speed.
- Survey log, Iota III: Enormous gas world with crushing atmospheric pressure and violent winds.
- Memorial buoy: for the crews lost in the 3003 war over Nu VI. Fly quietly here.
- Survey log, Nu VI: Desolate world suitable only for mining operations and research stations.
