Star #
At the heart of the Eridani System is a K-type main-sequence star, cooler and less luminous than the Sun, casting a warm, orange hue over its planets.
Planets #
Eridani Prime: A dense, rocky planet with high gravity and a thick atmosphere, known for its extensive mountain ranges and deep valleys. The planet’s harsh conditions have led to the development of hardy flora and fauna, as well as resourceful human settlements. Eridani Secundus: A planet with a unique biosphere, featuring vast fungal forests and a complex ecosystem based on silicon life forms. Scientific outposts study the planet’s ecology, and biotech companies harvest unique compounds for pharmaceuticals and bioengineering.
Gas Giants #
Titanus: A massive gas giant with a magnetic field so strong that it affects electronic equipment on nearby moons and ships. Titanus is surrounded by a system of intricate rings and has several moons that are unoccupied due to the strong magnetic fields.
Helion: Known for its bright, helium-rich atmosphere, Helion is a prime location for fuel harvesting operations. Its multiple moons serve as bases for miners and researchers alike. Asteroid Fields:
The Veil: A sparse asteroid field characterized by its asteroids covered in a thin layer of ice, giving them a ghostly appearance. The Veil is rumored to contain ancient sites.
Notable Features:
The Eridani Rift: A deep space anomaly near the edge of the system, the Rift is a volatile area of space with fluctuating gravitational fields and spatial distortions. It’s a no-go zone for standard navigation.
Icarus Station: A space station orbiting Eridani Prime, serving as a hub for trade, diplomacy, and information exchange in the system. The station is a melting pot of cultures from across the galaxy, with a vibrant market and a notorious underworld.
