Orvane
Red Dwarf · Sector J7
Dim red star providing gentle warmth to its planetary system. Long-term stellar stability makes this system ideal for permanent settlements.
Its asteroids are scattered in a wide, loose field rather than a belt. Which stations, gates and relays stand here changes hour by hour, as the factions contest the galaxy.
Ravelle III
- Ravelle III Chi Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity. Allied territory with favorable trade agreements and docking privileges. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Scientific installations offer data, analysis, and technological insights.
Ekhara V
- Ekhara V Chi Dry satellite featuring ancient riverbeds and mineral deposits. First contact protocols recommended for initial diplomatic engagement. Limited technological development restricts communication and trade options. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
- Ekhara V Pi Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity. Established diplomatic ties provide security and commercial opportunities. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Major trade hub with extensive merchant networks and market opportunities.
Epsilon VII
- Epsilon VII Xi Glacial satellite featuring ice geysers and frozen valleys. 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 Centauri VI
- Psi Centauri VI XI Solid rocky satellite with mineral-rich surface deposits. Friendly relations ensure safe passage and potential assistance. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
- Psi Centauri VI Delta Glacial satellite featuring ice geysers and frozen valleys. Independent territory with standard diplomatic protocols. Emerging technology base offers potential for technological exchange. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
- Psi Centauri VI Iota Frozen world covered in thick layers of water ice. Established diplomatic ties provide security and commercial opportunities. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
Ekhara
Myrrhen IV
- Myrrhen IV Tau Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Cutting-edge technology may offer access to advanced systems and knowledge. Service-oriented economy provides excellent facilities for crew rest and recreation.
Tau Draconis IX
- Tau Draconis IX X Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity. Diplomatic neutrality offers opportunities for all factions. Sophisticated technology provides extensive trade and diplomatic opportunities. Resource extraction operations provide raw materials and fuel supplies.
- Tau Draconis IX Eta Cratered moon featuring valuable ore veins and mining potential. Aggressive locals pose a significant threat to unauthorized vessels. Advanced spaceflight capabilities enable regular interstellar commerce. Research facilities may provide advanced technology and upgrades.
Wormholes
- Kethis IV Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector I7, the Kethis IV system: an unsteady throat that comes and goes. Massive, hot star burning through its fuel at an accelerated rate.
- Rho VI Wormhole A natural wormhole to sector J6, the Rho VI system: a strong, steady throat. Small but incredibly dense stellar core with intense gravity.
Phenomena
- The Tolvar 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 Pi 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
- Recovered log, drive failure off Ekhara: 'Holding orbit. Life support at forty percent. If anyone hears this, we're on the inner lane.'
- Assay office: Corundum Shard 65 graded at 56. Mining rights by contract only.
- Recovered log, drive failure off Ekhara V: 'Holding orbit. Life support at forty percent. If anyone hears this, we're on the inner lane.'
- Survey log, Ravelle III Chi: Asteroid-like moon with significant geological activity.
- Survey log, Epsilon VII: Airless rock with extreme temperature variations between day and night.
- Survey log, Ekhara V: Enormous gas world with crushing atmospheric pressure and violent winds.
- Old relay, still transmitting: 'This is Epsilon VII traffic control. All lanes nominal.' The station it belonged to is long gone.
- Assay office: Xenotime Crag 38 graded at 17. Mining rights by contract only.
- Assay office: Xenotime Seam 59 graded at 41. Mining rights by contract only.
- From the Halcyon: we call at every station in Orvane on our circuit. Dock under way; we'll match your speed.
- Solace Republic proclamation: sector J7 is under the protection of the Solace Republic. Trade freely; fly lawfully.
- Memorial buoy: for the crews lost in the 3190 war over Epsilon VII. Fly quietly here.
