The Pyro system is an unclaimed single star system consisting of an orange dwarf, six planets, an asteroid field, and seven jump points.[1]

Because of the lack of habitable planets, it was not claimed by the UEE which resulted in a lawless uprising and the system becoming a hotspot for criminals and pirates. The Ruin Station is the only permanently habitable location. Otherwise, it is rife with pirates, smugglers, and other criminals. Traders beware!

A limited demo of the Pyro system in the alpha 3.21 branch will be released to backers in waves using the recently revealed preview channel on October 31st, 2023.

Most of Pyro System's six planets are thoroughly scorched thanks to the flare star at its center. Upon its discovery in 2493, any valuable minerals were quickly mined and its lack of habitable planets noted. An orbital platform , originally built by Pyrotechnic Amalgamated to serve as a hub for their operations in the system, was only in use by the company for a short time before it was abandoned. Since then, the platform has become a refuge for black market traders and warring pirate gangs known as Ruin Station.

History[]

The Pyro system's bright central star underwent a prolonged nova phase long before mankind reached for the stars and little is known of the original makeup of the system. Six burned-out planets remain, none of which are capable of supporting life. Every planet in the system is at some level of decay: from Pyro I’s slow infusion into the star to Pyro IV being knocked out of orbit in a meteor strike and slowly being subsumed by Pyro V’s gas giant.

There is little inherently interesting in the Pyro system. The planets were quickly mined out of any remaining precious metals shortly after the system’s discovery and the gas giant Pyro V is a mediocre refueling point at best; the atmosphere contains a poor hydrogen mix.

Pyrotechnic Amalgamated have established a space station typically used for terraforming in the orbit of Pyro VI, the least damaged world in the system, even though Pyro VI is an uninhabitable world. The reason as to why the orbital station was built there is unknown. Shortly after the station was abandoned it was taken over by pirates and criminals serving as a hub for black market trading.

Politics[]

The system has not established system-wide governance. The various stations and outposts are either abandoned or controlled by various warring outlaw gangs such as Xenothreat and Rough and Ready. Independent, non-outlaw groups, also inhabit the system.

Bloom

An icy terrestrial world with a breathable atmosphere that has been overrun by outlaws. A blanket of yellow moss and grass covers its surface.

Pyro IV

A rocky planet that has been mined clean. Knocked out of orbit by a celestial body of equal mass, it now orbits Pyro V.

Pyro V

Pyro V is a massive yellow and green gas giant with 6 moons: Adir, Ignis, Fairo, Fuego, Vatra, and Vuur.
