Lost Rucker star system

The **Lost Rucker star system** is a hidden primary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

The former technological marvel and leader of fulcrum and blackhole research has been mostly abandoned in the wake of the Insanity War and scrutiny of illegal deals with renegade pilots.

Nowadays the few rich and powerful enough to know about Novachron prefer to see it as a tourist attraction and those more inclined to study fulcrum, blackholes and radiation are invited to do so monitored by Alliance High-Command in one of the officially sanctioned stations.

There remain no official Renegade or scientific colonies in Novachron and the famous planet has been struck from public record.

## History

### During Legends/Mercenaries

After the Shefeld-Gate of Rucker had lost most of its purpose as an emergency military transportation, it had been repurposed for a more honorable endeavour by the returned Renegades. Sometime around the 2410's it was readjusted towards a major gravity disturbance in the east of the galaxy discovered by the people of Wolf. This disturbance would later be known as Novachron\*, a blackhole. With the construction of a connected return gate, the study of Novachron became permanent and the system was settled as the new home of the Renegades.

After invited scientists were shown the planets that were still orbiting this dying star as it collapsed, they decided to join the Renegades to study this event for the developement of new technologies on scientific colonies close to the target.

Due to the nature of Novachron people refrained from any terraforming attempts. These planets aren't long for the universe.

### After the Insanity War

Along with tales of this legendary system other tales of a hidden planet inside a nebula had made the rounds. This planet, aptly named Novachron, was the new homeworld and base for more potent and partially military research endeavors by the Renegades. The fulcrum and high-tech facilities were a major black market for the illegal proliferation of dangerous weapons in the era of clans and a major target during the later wars as their continued progress would endanger any other faction after the peace broke down. At least this is the justification the Alliance had to invade.

Today outside of a few orbital stations, most research projects on and of Novachron are abandoned and desstroyed and no hidden research is conducted. All research is done public and is strictly monitored by Alliance High-Command which as of now controls Rucker and thus Lost Rucker.

The once hidden planet, although less hidden now that the nebula slowly gets sucked into the black hole, still remains uncharted nearby. Official star charts are forbidden from showing its location in fear of old military technology being salvaged or misapproriated after the Renegades were bombed into submission and exile with significant losses.

## Trade Routes

The system can import maschines from Rucker and deliver it several goods in return. Their trade relations are quite stable.
