===BAKER STAR=== Baker Star is a smallish K type yellow star situated just a few light years off the central plane of the Milky Way. There is nothing particularly remarkable about it, except for the high death rate of rocky inner planets in the inner solar system. There are six distinct asteroid belts surrounding the star, all rich in unexploited metal wealth and only one small gas giant in an orbit too far out to disturb the orbit of the rocks in the inner solar system. In between the asteroid belts are five small inner planets. Baker’s Star 1 is a heavily cratered metallic world with no atmosphere. Baker’s Star 2 – 4 are heavily cratered high metallic content planets with an even mix of metal and rock and hot thick carbon dioxide atmospheres. ====Hangover==== Hangover is one of five inner planets to have survived to adulthood, but it didn't survive unscathed. Sometime in the planets recent history, a huge object, possibly a small moonlet, struck the planet punching a crater in the surface covering a thirtieth of the planets surface. From space the crater looks like a huge black circular continent, surrounded by a moat of red lava. Canyons of lava radiate out through fractures in the massive crater wall and the whole region is surrounded by a thin blue sea. To the settlers it resembled nothing more than a single huge bloodshot eye, floating in space. The rest of the planet consists of forty separate continents that fit together like crazy paving, separated by deep and stormy water filled channels between one and sixty kilometres wide. It is slightly heavier than Earth at 1.1g and richer in heavy metals. The cataclysm warmed the surface of the planet enough to make comfortable life possible, and completely wiped out the larger indigenous animal life, although some of the local plant life survived. Almost nothing is known of the previous conditions of the planet as the eighty settlers who live there do not have the luxury time required to investigate. '''Town''' The town was founded by settlers who crashed there in 3080. Most of the settlers live within a day's travel of the town, with a few scattered by choice or necessity onto neighbouring continents. The settlers are independent but originate from a SYLA (federation) aligned colony world. The town and the crash are developed further in the [[Blue_Giant:Scenario_Hangover|Hangover scenario]]. Baker’s Star 6 is a small cold gas giant responsible for steering many many comets into the inner solar system.
