Intent: To expand on the biggest planet in the Dohmus system, and further flesh out the system for roleplay and the lore of Chaos as a whole

GENINFO.png

Planet Name: Helios Maximus
Demonym: N/A
Region: Outer Rim
System Name: Dohmus System
System Features: The Dohmus system is a classic one-sun system hidden with the depths of a reflection nebula. The white star at the centre is orbited by Dohmus Prime square in the habitable zone, and the gas giant Helios Maximus beyond it. Helios has one moon in its orbit, a relatively small rock with no atmosphere. The planet itself contains vast deposits of hypermatter. A typical day on Helios Maximus lasts for 30 hours and one year is 420 local days
Coordinates: AK,42
Major Imports: Technology, labour (on the refinery moon)
Major Exports: Hypermatter fuel

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Gravity: Standard
Climate: Temperate
Primary Terrain: Enormous clouds of toxic gas
Atmosphere: Type IV

Major Locations:

THE REFINERY

Built on the small moon that orbits Helios Maximus and known only as “the refinery”, this structure was built by the company that discovered the vast deposits of hypermatter in the planet below. A typical industrial building, the refinery is completely self-contained and sealed, providing artificial gravity and atmosphere for the workers within. Expanding an impressive 12 kilometres over the moon’s surface on massive pillars, the impressive construction is truly a marvel of engineering. When the company the built the refinery went bankrupt, the building fell into disrepair. However, due to the moon’s close proximity to the planet, along with its lack of an atmosphere and weather, it was relatively well-preserved, only requiring minor repairs when it was taken over and production began again.

THE ETERNAL STORM

The surface of Helios Prime is an uninhabitable orb of toxic gasses. However, although many of the currents and regions have been mapped and traversed by mining vessels, there is one region that is strictly off-limits to all mining personnel. Known as “the Eternal Storm”, the vast tempest spans over 30,000 kilometres across the planet’s surface. Here, winds can exceed hundreds of kilometres an hour and lightning strikes thousands of times a second. Stones and rocks ranging from tiny grains up to chunks the size of a fist are tossed about in this ongoing squall, making it by far the deadliest place on this most unwelcoming of planets. It’s theorized that the storm, visible from the moon and even from Dohmus Prime through a telescope, has been raging for tens of thousands of years.

HIST.png

For hundreds of thousands of years, Helios Maximus lay undiscovered within the reflection nebula that surrounded it, storm raging, moon in orbit. The history of the galaxy went on, leaving the system in relative peace. When the system was discovered by a lost mining crew in 802ABY, they flew right by the enormous gas giant, their instruments warning them that the planet would provide no home nor means for their survival there.

Eventually, when the crew was rescued, better equipment, more supplies, and a larger crew were brought in. They discovered the huge deposits of hypermatter fuel within the planet, and began to set up a mining colony on the nearby planet of Dohmus Prime. At first, the moon that orbited Helios Maximus was simply used as a waypoint for vessels and shipments coming from the planet itself, however, eventually, a refinery was built there to cut down the amount of travel required by the company to get the resource to the core for sale.

At first, protocols were relatively lax, as being so far out in the outer rim it was easy to relax a little without corporate breathing down the necks of the foremen. However, they soon found out protocols existed for a reason, after several deaths from varying accidents, including an several lives and pieces of equipment destroyed when straying too close to the Eternal Storm.

By 840ABY, the company that owned the refinery had lost too much and eventually went under. Their assets were liquidated, and the refinery and planet were left untouched, falling into disrepair until they were acquired by The Family and mining began again.
