System R-1 "Freebeer"

Founded in the Nepleslian Colonial Expanse in YE 34 The system was originally colonized by survivors from a crashed colony ship but the population has since been removed for rehabilitation and reintegration into the Imperium by YE 36. It is also the closest of the new colonial star systems to Malaise. Freebeer is a sparsely populated system with a variety of worlds most would consider inhospitable. From the near-frozen world of New Belfast to the toxic and acidic world of Poison. Regardless some brave and enduring pockets of nepleslian settlers call this system home. And make their living mining the abundant natural resources of New Belfast and its rich asteroid fields, Or on the planet of Boiling Hot where many heat-stuck nepleslians catch an abundance of seafood to feed the systems growing needs.

The National Police Force of Nepleslia And Support, Aid, and Warden (SAW) Corps have a presence on and above the planet of Poison in the form of a starbase and a massive underground prison named The Swamp.

System description

Order Boiling Hot, Icey Blue, New Belfast, Poison, Asteroids
Current Occupants Nepleslians

Boiling Hot

Boiling Hot is roughly the same size as Nepleslia Prime but is roughly 60% water. It is divided into two continents, both of which are capable of sustaining life. The proximity of the planet to the suns, however, makes the living conditions extremely hot save for the coastal areas. This results in the interior of both continents being barren deserts. There is a rainy season on the whole planet for roughly two months each year when it rains heavily without stop.

Most of the population lives in the coastal areas of the world and enjoy comfortable if a little humid, temperatures. There are massive hyper-rail gravity tram-like train transports the size of small starships but considerably longer and made of segments that cross the great deserts between cities on a regular basis.

The main export of Boiling Hot is actually energy in the form of charged superconductors, |fission-fusion generator platforms and antimatter batteries. This is achieved by large banks of Aether reactors, win and solar farms across its deserts, thermal energy harvesting from its suns heat in the deserts, and hydro-power from its seas.

New Belfast

The second habitable planet, New Belfast, is the polar opposite of Boiling Hot. Early in the planet's development, it was impacted by another planetoid, pushing New Belfast far from its previous orbit and pushing it into an orbit out near the edge of the system. New Belfast's new orbit now forms an oval shape around the system. Thus, New Belfast is a frozen rock. Most colonists would avoid it for that reason, but New Belfast holds great riches for those who wish to risk it all. Due to the impact of the planetoid early in New Belfast's development, the planet is rich in natural resources. There are three continents on the surface, as well as a single ocean: The Cobalt Sea.

The main export of New Belfast are highly valuable minerals such as those used in the forging of Durandium Alloy, Nerimium, Zanarium and others to places with large industrial bases or mega-forges like Svodog.

Poison

The other terrestrial planet, Poison, is covered by toxic and acidic clouds of ammonia. Any effort at remote mining or exploration would be too costly. A single NSN Bulwark-class Military Outpost starbase was installed above the planet and is manned by the Support, Aid, and Warden (SAW) Corps| wardens]]. It is orbited by two moons: Toxic and Gas.

The National Police Force of Nepleslia also have a considerable underground, sealed prison and presence based on the toxic world of poison named the swamp. It is largely considered the largest and highest security prison in the entire DIoN and holds some of the sector's most dangerous criminals outside of those found in the much smaller IPG facility; Abjection.

The planet of Poison is considered off-limits to anyone without proper clearance not only due to the lethal nature of its surface and how complicated it is to fly or navigate on it.

Icey Blue

Lastly, the gas giant, named Icey Blue, has abundant natural gases that promise decades of gas collection but have yet to be collected. No attempt so far has been made to count the satellites in orbit of the gas giant.

Asteroids

The asteroid belt is quite dense past New Belfast. It contains the remains of the formation of the system so it is quite rich in metals. The are many large hollowed-out asteroids that contain different kinds of facilities from mining bases to Pirate hideouts. Because the belt is so thick it easy to hide in. Because of this, it is a popular place for pirates, smugglers, and many others to hide their bases from prying eyes despite their proximity in-system to groups like the NPF, wardens, and NSN.
