Naraka Star System

The Naraka Star System is controlled by the Hegemony and the "eastern" most system of the Core Worlds.

Naraka, Orange Star

Naraka

	Slightly cooler and smaller than Old Earth's sun, this class K star most resembles Alpha Centauri B. It is particularly stable, burning on the lower end of the main sequence for tens of billions of years and thus considered a likely host to life-bearing and terraformable planets.
–In-Game Description

• Center of the Naraka Star System

The Yamuna (Stellar Ring I)

• Orbits Naraka between the nav buoy and Yama

Naraka Jump Point

• Orbits Naraka as Yama's L₅ trojan

Yama (Naraka I), Arid World, Hegemony

Naraka I: Yama

	Yama scored only marginal viability on the Eridani-Utopia Corporation survey charts, but the nearby fuel facility on Nachiketa prompted terraforming and colonization. It remains a subpar world, in lingering decline after the devastation of the First AI War.
–In-Game Description

	Yama found itself relatively untouched by the Collapse - but, by the same measure, relatively untouched by capital investment before the Collapse. Years of stability under the Hegemony, barring the bombardments suffered during the First AI War, have been kind to the small, conservative society. It is a fine place for those of modest ambition and austere taste.

Yami (Naraka I-A), Barren-Bombarded World

Naraka I-A: Yami

	A lifeless rocky world, the battered surface tells an aeons-long story of intermittent meteor bombardment. What atmosphere there is clings to the scarred crust in near-vacuum. There is no significant magnetic field or tectonic activity. Deep regolith prevails, crossed by lava channels and spotted by ancient lava seas formed by especially large impacts.
–In-Game Description

The Servants (Asteroid Belt)

• Orbits Yama

Naraka Relay

Naraka Relay

	A Domain-era technology used primarily on the frontier, this is a hyperwave communications array which transmits and receives data between star systems at faster-than-light speeds. The rapidly pulsing hyperwaves suitable for FTL data transmission have been shown to damage DNA so these relays are always stationed away from habitats.
–In-Game Description

• Orbits Naraka as Yama's L₃ trojan

Nachiketa (Naraka I-L₄), Barren World, Hegemony

Naraka I-L₄: Nachiketa

	This world was selected by Domain bureaucrats as a site for one of the Persean Sector's AM fuel production facilities due to having no outstanding value apart from existing on a convenient axis of expansion into further frontiers. Industry and port facilities followed the boost in starship traffic, growing like barnacles from the massive armored, half-buried fuel plant. A major confrontation during the First AI War saw these surrounding port facilities devastated due to a tactical purge of AM reserves; the Hegemony secured victory, but crippled the industry and infrastructure of Nachiketa.
–In-Game Description

	Though the fuel facility is technically operated by a licensed corporation, Nachiketa is nonetheless dominated by the military culture of the Hegemony. Strategic security requirements have led to the blasted ruins of industry filled with military bunkers, weapon emplacements, and training facilities. Aside from the seedy entertainment district frequented by young recruits, visiting spacers, and frequent MP patrols, civilian life is a muted grind, though well-compensated by standards of the Persean Sector.

Chitagupta (Naraka II), Barren World

Naraka II: Chitagupta

	Radiation from the nearby star ravages the surface of this world due to the lack of an atmospheric ozone layer. No significant geological activity. No indigenous life forms.
–In-Game Description

• Planetary Conditions
  • Note that as an uninhabited world, Chitagupta will have a range of market conditions that changes between playthroughs.
