Yenivar System

****Yenivar System****

The Yenivar system is located near the edge of the The Gatekeeper Imperium sector adjacent to Blue Nova Republic.  Its manufactories and mines supply the military might of their empire with much needed material.

Optional Secret: Nothing? – GM’s choice - there may be no secrets here, at least none visiting starfinders will ever discover… Or not…

Yenivar system has several planetary bodies; however, they are only sparsely populated and 90% of the population is slave labor working on asteroids, moons and other locations.  Most of the areas inhabited are hostile to living life, due to the environment or toxic atmosphere, but that does not stop the slave ships from arriving out of system and dumping more people for the labor force where they are needed.  The notable celestial bodies within the system are the gas giant Face of Yen and its orbital satellites: Yen's Cradle, Teeth of Yen, Back of Yen, Breast of Yen,  and Child of Yen.  A little farther out is the Finger's of Yen, Eye of Yen and the Scar of Yen.  And finally in the outer orbit hidden in the vast spaces of the void is the Ear of Yen.  More details on their roles are discussed below.

    -----STAR SYSTEM-----

-----STAR-----

      Old & Weak Red Star (M Class) The star is a Tiny Pinprick of light against the veil of space. What life might prosper here does so only barely nourished by the burnt out star’s watery sustenance.  Most life has sustained around the gas giant orbiting the sun.

    -----Solar Orbit-----

-----Celestial Body-----

         Yenivar System-1-1S1  (The "Face of Yen")

         Gas Giant – Vast world of vapor & gas, this behemoth is mined for its chemical particles. Gas giants also have moons, some of which may be habitable.  (which some are below)

         Hydrosphere: No Moisture

              -----Satellite-----

              Yenivar System-1-1S1m1

              Asteroid Field – A dense band of broken rock that stretches for millions of kilometers circles the star. Dangerous to Navigate, asteroid fields also make excellent hiding places for pirates and raiders.

              Atmosphere: None

              Gravity: Zero Gravity

              Orbit: Standard

              Hydrosphere: Arid (85-100% Land Mass)

              -----Satellite-----

              Yenivar System-1-1S1m2 (called "Yen's Cradle")

              An orbital station that collects and ships all the processed material from the other moons, asteriods and the gas giant.  This large conglomoration of engineering houses the majority of the Gatekeepers citizens that oversee the slaves on the surrounding moons and asteroid mining camps.

              Atmosphere: Type I: Breathable

              Gravity: Earth Standard

              Orbit: Elliptical Orbit – Tide Locked (one side towards the sun,the other side facing away)

              Hydrosphere: GM's Choice

              -----Satellite-----

              Yenivar System-1-1S1m3 (The "Teeth of Yen")

              Asteroid Field – A dense band of broken rock that stretches for thousands of kilometers circles the gas giant. Dangerous to Navigate, asteroid fields also make excellent hiding places for pirates and raiders.  Various slave mining facilites / camps, now empty, are scattered throughout the field.

              Atmosphere: None

              Gravity: Zero Gravity

              Orbit: Standard

              Hydrosphere: Moderate (15-49% Land Mass)

              -----Satellite----- x2

              Yenivar System-1-1S1m4 and 1-1S1m5

              Dwarf Planet

              Atmosphere: No Atmosphere

              Gravity: None

              Orbit: Standard Orbit - Extreme Axial Tilt (Extreme Seasons)

              Hydrosphere: Arid (85-100% Land Mass)

              Northern Terrain: Volcanic – Volcanoes dominate this hemisphere, perhaps dormant – perhaps not…

              Southern Terrain: Caves – The world may be dominated by an immense network of caves running throughout the crust. These may be caused by volcanic activity, water erosion or the massive mining operations now laying claim to the moon.

              Points of Interest: Forge – These massive factories set up by the The Gatekeeper Imperium are essential for the supply of arms and armor to the their combat forces.  Mostly relying on slaves and drones for labor, they are kept in line by the Gatekeepers threatening to cut off oxygen supplies and other necessaties for survival.

              -----Satellite-----

              Yenivar System-1-1S1m7  (The "Breast of Yen")

              Terrestrial Planet

              Atmosphere: Type V: Toxic

              Gravity: Earth Standard

              Orbit: Standard Orbit - Tide Locked (one side towards the sun,the other side facing away)

              Hydrosphere: Arid (85-100% Land Mass)

              Northern Terrain: Mountains – A planet with a good deal of geological activity can lead to small hills to huge peaks. Depending on the planet’s atmosphere, plant life, and soil, mountain areas can support a wide variety of plant forms from trees to grasses. Peaks of mountains on temperate and cold planets may be snow capped, which can cause dangerous avalanches.  A plethora of enclosed mining camps dot the mountains, extracting resources and minerals which are transferred to the moons processing center.

              Southern Terrain: Plateau – Plateaus are large sections of mostly flat land that are elevated above other portions of nearby land. They typically occur in the interior of continents. On a plateau virtually any type of terrain can be found.  Refineries, processing plants, and other facilities are located here which create material from the raw resources extracted from the moon.  They are then shipped off planet once the quota is reached.

              -----Satellite-----

              Yenivar System-1-1S1m8  (The "Child of Yen")

              Terrestrial Planet

              Atmosphere: Type III: Non-Breathable (Breath-mask Mandatory)

              Gravity: Earth Standard

              Orbit: Elliptical Orbit – Tide Locked (one side towards the sun, the other side facing away)

              Hydrosphere: Saturated (0-4% Land Mass)

              Northern Terrain: Barren/Plains – Plains are simply huge flat expanses. Grasses & bushes will be the primary flora. Cold plains are called tundras and warm dry plains are called Savannahs.

Barren typically denotes arid hostile terrain, hard, dry and embedded with large rocks.

              Southern Terrain: Crystal Formations which are dangerous to harvest.  When the Gatekeepers have rowdy slaves, they send them out in worn out surivial suits and hand tools to harvest the crystals.  When harvested incorrectly or struck, the crystals explode in a cloud of shrapenel that can tear through an armored Soldiers, saying nothing to the flimsy suits the slaves wear.

              Hydrosphere: Moderate (15-49% Land Mass)

              Northern Terrain: Caves – The world is dominated by immense networks of caves running throughout the crust. This was due to all the massive drilling which gutted the moon.

              Southern Terrain: Barren/Plains – Plains are simply huge flat expanses. Grasses & bushes will be the primary flora. Cold plains are called tundras and warm dry plains are called Savannahs.  Barren typically denotes arid hostile terrain, hard, dry and embedded with large rocks.  Dotted across the landscape are remnants of refineries, processing plants, and other discarded pieces of equipment and machinery.

-----Celestial Body-----

         Yenivar System-1-1S2  (The "Finger's of Yen")

         Dust Cloud – A huge particle cloud covers part of the system, confounding sensors, and peppering ships with tiny debris.  Space voyages call this the "Finger's of Yen" due to "light taping" on the ships hulls and shields caused by the debris.
