TAND:KEX-171-05
System Breakdown[edit]
- System Features: Gravity Tides
- Star: White
- Ownership: Unclaimed
Inner Cauldron[edit]
Radiation Bursts[edit]
Emitting deadly radiation bursts every thirteen hours and forty-two minutes (to the microsecond) that scour the entire inner cauldron, KEX-171-05 is a deadly, deadly star.
Dust Cloud[edit]
Heavily irradiated, it nonetheless serves to absorb much of the murderous emissions of the system's star.
Gravity Riptide[edit]
Woe unto any who get caught by this gravitational riptide, for they are assuredly going to be sucked through the dust cloud into the near-star area, where radiation bursts char the void.
Primary Biosphere[edit]
Asteroid Cluster (3 R)[edit]
The remains of at the very least two planets that were reduced to chunks of varying size. Still bearing a lot of resources, they are certainly worth the expense of remote-mining.
- Ornamental: 94
- Exotic: 95
Outer Reaches[edit]
Asteroid Cluster (2 R)[edit]
Another shattered planet's remains, though far less worthwhile than its cousin in the Primary Biosphere.
- Industrial: 47
- Radioactives: 34
Starship Graveyard[edit]
Six shattered vessels hang in the cold void here, another example of human defenders being obliterated by a vastly superior foe, judging by the lack of other vessels.
- Archeotech: 216 (Ship components & cargo)
Gas Giant (KEX-171-05-Alpha)[edit]
An immense turquoise dot in space, KEX-171-05-Alpha holds the only habitable planetoids in its immense gravity well.
- 1 Planetary Rings (Debris)
- 2 Planetary Rings (Dust)
- 5 Lesser Moons (4 MR)
- Industrial: 37
- Ornamental: 61
- Radioactives: 38
- 5 True Moons
- KEX-171-05-Alpha-Primus (Large & Dense, High G, Thin Corrosive Atmosphere, Ice World, 2 Mineral Resources)
Though thin, Alpha-Primus' atmosphere is capable of eating through most materials not specially treated to resist the unyielding corrosive nature of the planet.
- Industrial 51
- Radioactives 75
- KEX-171-05-Alpha-Secundus (Low Mass, Low Gravity, Moderate Tainted Atmosphere, Ice World, Trapped Water, 2 Mineral Resources)
Tiny, poor and frozen, Alpha-Secundus is the remains of a once much-larger planet. Caught by Alpha's gravity well, it now floats placidly in the void.
- Ornamental 40
- Exotic 40
- KEX-171-05-Alpha-Tertius (Vast, Normal G, Moderate Pure Atmosphere, Cold World, Liquid Water, 5 MR, 1 AR)
A planet of vast forests, vast snowstorms and vast ursine-descendent predators, it nonetheless houses an ancient - and deadly - secret.
- Industrial 96
- Ornamental 103
- Radioactives 57
- Archeotech 84 (Encounter Site: Faulty Men of Iron Maintenance Facility. Danger: Guardians (Men of Iron), Cave-In)
- KEX-171-05-Alpha-Quartus (Vast, Normal G, Moderate Pure Atmosphere, Cold World, Liquid Water, 9 MR, 4 AR)
Boasting enormous mineral wealth, a wide variety of useful animals and starkly beautiful subarctic mountain regions, Alpha-Quartus is another ideal target for colonization.
- Industrial 66
- Ornamental 197
- Radioactive 50
- Exotic 165
- Archeotech 111 (Encounter Site: Damaged Men of Iron Fabrication Complex. Dangers: Guardians (Men of Iron), Crazed Automata, Automated Defenses.)
- Organic Compound (Vivid Accessory) 66 - The hides of the parasitic Flatbear, when properly prepared, make for imposing (and valueable) cloaks.
- KEX-171-05-Alpha-Quintus (Small, Low G, No Atmosphere, Ice World, 3 MR, 1 AR)
A tiny frozen rock whose only outstanding features are the considerable amounts of material wealtlh that might (theoretically) be extracted.
- Industrial 78
- Ornamental 79
- Radioactive 115
