The Khurakan System

The Khurakan System is a beautiful place, but full of dangers. Chose one of 4 different spawns, each with different difficulty, but also different opportunities. This is a scenario with recommended settings, but you can save it and use with different setup of your choice.

Khurakan is one of the two stars in the system. It is a red dwarf and constitutes 95% of the mass of the system. Khurakan is the center of the system, while other planets and secondary star orbits around it. It emits relatively little light, but its large solar flares causes a lot of disruption and magnetic storms in some parts of the system.

This closest planet to the Khurakan is covered with a lot of hot magma, so be careful where you step! The atmosphere is heavy and full of sulfur, so no breathing without the space suit.

First and smallest moon of Erebus with a distinct red hue. Its outer layers have a lot of iron and manganese that causes the ice on its surface to glow with bright red vapors. Despite it's close proximity to the Khurakan, Corum is generally very cold most of the time. There are also very little winds which remains an unexplored scientific mystery. The atmosphere has a lot of oxygen, but also a lot of toxic fumes.

Ryke is the older brother of Corum and the second moon of Erebus. It is the hottest place in the system and the densest satellite with 1.9 g. Magma is very close to the surface, but mostly harmless. It is full of various precious resources. If you can overcome the difficult conditions, you can get rich here.

Jovan is a rocky desert planet. This is the first planet that has some forms of life. It is a habitat for spiders that expand through the universe. This is a hot planet with thin, breathable atmosphere. Jovan also has a ring, which is a potential source of resources.

The first moon of Jovan used to support life but now is a dusty barren. It has some ice lakes and a lot of asteroid craters.

Second moon of Jovan has quite an eccentric orbit. That is why Mora's cobalt core is subject to volatile expansions and contractions, that causes the surface to break open, creating deep canyons.

Aphus is the only gas giant in this system. It has large ring, that is a source of resources. Its enormous gravity will capture everything that gets too close, so be careful.

The first moon of Aphus has a lot of dried lakes covered with salt, deserts and mountains. Its temperature is nicely warm, but high concentration of sodium chloride causes rapid shortness of breath. Suit recommended.

The second moon of Aphus is a place filled with various life forms. Its landscape is similar to the good old Earth. The temperature is cozy most of the year and the atmosphere is breathable. Also has lots of small satellites orbiting around it, that can be mined.

Third moon has a rocky surface with large craters where it formed a thin layer of atmosphere due to the accumulation of gasses in the bottom of these regions. During the night it becomes a very dark and foggy place.

This is the largest particle of Aphus Ring, covered with craters. The latest collision happened here not so long time ago, creating a huge crater, floating debris and a small nebula in the vicinity.
