System Breakdown

• System Features: Gravity Tides
• Star: White
• Ownership: Unclaimed

Inner Cauldron

Radiation Bursts

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

Heavily irradiated, it nonetheless serves to absorb much of the murderous emissions of the system's star.

Gravity Riptide

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

Asteroid Cluster (3 R)

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

Asteroid Cluster (2 R)

Another shattered planet's remains, though far less worthwhile than its cousin in the Primary Biosphere.

• Industrial: 47
• Radioactives: 34

Starship Graveyard

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)

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
