System - Barnard's Star

Barnard's Star is a red dwarf star located in the constellation Ophiuchus, approximately 5.96 light-years from Earth. It is one of the closest stars to our Sun, second only to Proxima Centauri. The star was named after American astronomer E.E. Barnard, who discovered its proper motion (the movement of a star against the background of distant stars) in 1916. The star is known for having one of the largest proper motions of any star, moving 10.3 arcseconds per year relative to the Sun. This high proper motion has made it a popular target for exoplanet searches in the past. The star is also known for being relatively old, estimated to be around 9-11 billion years old. This star system is known as the only source of Ravinium.

## Planets

### Atlas

Atlas is a Gas Giant with very dangerous atmosphere to enter. Gravity reaches 2.5g at the deepest areas ships can enter. Gas giants are generaly dangerous, but when you reach the deepest parts, you can find various rare resources.

### Castor

Castor is a rocky moon covered in deep asteroid impact craters. The surface gravity is 0.3g. The asteroid has a thin atmosphere, which manifests mostly in its deep craters. The most interesting feature of this celestial body is that it is almost entirely formed out of Uraninite. The terrain of the moon is covered in hills and cliffs, the only good smooth spots to build on are in the impact craters.

### Antartica

Antarctica is a terrestrial icy world. Its 1.11g gravity makes it harder to settle than other worlds, but unlike planets such as Earth, it is very rich in resources, including Uraninite. Antarctica has a thick, breathable atmosphere. One of the most striking features of Antarctica is its lack of distinguishable biomes. The planet has a single climate system attributed to its dense atmosphere, which evenly distributes heat from the star to all parts of the planet. Despite its cold temperatures, Antarctica is suitable for human life.

#### Chill

Chill is a small icy moon close to the planet Antarctica. It has very low gravity, making it a frequent stop for miners. Ores that can be found here include Silver, Gold, Silica, Magnesium, Iron, Nickel, Cobalt, Ice, Uranium, and Fluid Crystals. Chill has a very limited atmosphere.

### Solaris

Solaris is an intriguing planetary body with a surface gravity of 4g. Be careful when navigatint around this planetary body, as it's gravity can reach quite some distance from it's surface. It is theorized that the planet is not a planet but the core of another Gas Giant that collided with the planet Atlas some time ago. The gases were most probably dispersed and absorbed by planet Atlas, and the inner metallic and rocky core remained. Solaris is also a rich source of Lavastone, if you can get close to its surface.

### Ravine

Ravine is a sand-covered planet with lush red-tinted vegetation. The planet has an active atmosphere with some amount of oxygen in it. The weather is unfortunately very hostile, with frequent destructive storms. This one feature is the only reason why mining on Ravine is not very widespread, even though ore mapping shows rich deposits of Iron, Nickel, Silicon, Cobalt, Silver, Magnesium, Uranite, and Gold. On top of that, large deposits of Ravinium can be found right below the planet's surface. When weather is taken out of the equation, the planet is quite hospitable. Several criminal groups tried making the planet their base of operation in the past as well.

### Thanatos

Thanatos is a barren, heavy gravity world with 1.4g. The planet is covered in thick clouds and the atmosphere is present, even though it is not breathable. Thanatos is a low activity volcanic world with several active volcanoes. Despite its hostile environment, it is very rich in all basic resources such as Iron, Nickel, Silicon, Cobalt, Silver, Magnesium, Uranite, Platinum, and Gold. Lava regions contain Lavastone as well.

#### Trelan

Trelan is a lush, plant-covered moon of the planet Thanatos. Despite its beautiful surface features, Trelan is a dangerous place, populated by both civilian habitats and pirate hideouts. In recent years, there have been discussions about the potential for Trelan to be developed as a tourism destination, given its striking beauty and unique geological features. Unfortunately, Trelan has a limited atmosphere, which is too thin to sustain life for extended periods of time. The moon is not very rich in resources, but it contains Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Silicon, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
