Avatar (system)

The Avatar system is a solar system in the Phoenix Sector, and a stopping point between the four-spoked hub system of Graylight (Planet Rhad) and an outer system, Brittania (Planet Chelsea). It is a major hub for Federation starship production. Including all habitats, it has a population of about 27 million, with 90% being parahumans, particularly its own type, the Avatar Floater.
== PC Interactions ==
The Avatar system has numerous Federation-aligned shipyards--massive, skeletal facilities staffed with countless construction-craft and worker drones. Those with Federation clearance can get basically anything repaired here. Those outside the Federation navy, however, may need to go to a simpler, local port--it's not as accommodating, but there's always a chance one can find some grey-market military surplus to equip to one's ship.
=== Local Legends ===
Some prospectors claim to have seen "mermaids" out in the void while mining asteroids. Could these be biotech experiments, Third Stage voidwalker parahumans, or some unknown spaceborn creature? Perhaps it's more complex than any one answer...

== Planets and Settlements ==
The Avatar system lacks traditional "grounded" colonies, but has countless spaceborne colonies in the asteroid belts. Its largest construct is Starhome (see infobox), a spherical megastructure carved out of an asteroid.
=== Other Settlements ===
Most settlements are structurally similar to Starhome, but with vastly varying politics, from the libertarian Freeport to the socialist commune of Moonhaven.
== Trivia ==
* The Avatar system's population is 27 million, with 90% being parahumans. By the math, that makes 24.3 million parahumans, and 2.7 million unmodified humans,
