Ryboth System

The Ryboth System is small, containing only three
planets orbiting a dim yellow sun in the Markayn Marches. These planets
include the small barren rock of Ryboth and the gas
giant MKZH-12, where the mining station Tranthos Gamma hangs suspended in low orbit. Though Ryboth
is no longer the economic juggernaut it once was, the
system still boasts many intriguing features.
When the Great Storm hit, Ryboth’s many orbital
docks and geosynchronous defense platforms were
caught completely unprepared. After the failure of their
void shields, cataclysmic system failure quickly followed
and extinguished all known life in orbit. The result is
an expanse of orbital debris that poses a grave hazard to
anyone trying to land on the planet’s surface. Worse still,
the innumerable hulks and floating wreckage provide
an ideal haven for piratical raiders and exiles, who
frequently prey on any ship foolish enough to venture
into the region without heavily armed escort.
A small picket force of the Adeptus Mechanicus fleet
once routinely patrolled Ryboth’s system and other nearby
Lathe holdings. While engaging their Warp drives for
a brief jump, the energy of the gamma ray burst swept
through the void and struck the fleet. The ships immediately
disappeared into the Warp, and all contact with the ship’s
crews was lost. However, rumors of sightings and strange
occurrences lead many to believe that, though lost to the
Warp, the crew did not all perish.
