Yonmaran System: Difference between revisions

The Yonmaran System refers to the solar system based on the star Yonmara.

Until recently, Spacelane A27-12 was the second longest distance in the charted United Stellar Territories to transverse, between the system of Hontras and Zygus Major. The flight, if made with proper courier and convoy support, could take a hyperliminal vessel traveling at 3.4 ervs nearly 1 month to complete. This fact combined with the constant threat of piracy and ship system failures has lead to a drastic market and trade recession between the two systems.

However, a development involving a light Orpex Cruiser, christened Flying Mast, in an attempt to make the distance without necessary support has altered the perception of this area of the galaxy. In the great void marking this distance in which no previous systems were known to exist, only 1.3 million km offset from Spacelane A27-12, was the outer boundary of a yet unknown system. Apparently hidden from sensor and visual scanning by a thick, energetically unstable nebulaic sphere, the system had remained untouched until encountered by the Flying Mast. In a last ditch effort to siphon free hydrogen particles to aid in their depleted emergency life support system Flying Mast turned course and drifted in a powerdown state into the rim of the system. Within, the faint blue glow from a dying sun were seen, as was an entire system ready for exploration.

Placed at nearly the half-way mark between the two trade systems, the Yonmaran System has become the focus of an intense effort of expansion and development. Its position has been well-noted to be a prime location for fuel depots and other deep space trade franchises. The scientific community has deemed it to be a primary system for study and research. Too far from populated areas to be enforced by standard planetary patrols of local United Stellar Defense Coalition vessels, the United Stellar Council has declared the need for a new system of government and control to be set up in the system. Until a regular law enforcement body can be created and inserted, United Stellar Marshalls have been dispatched to the area to keep the peace amongst the trade outposts, fuel stations, and nebula miners.

A Majority of the trade outposts and settlements have occurred near or on Vieneo, the moon of Iomere. The moon is rich in atmosphere and minerals and is able to support a variety of life, though no indigenous beings have been found yet. It is possible that Vieneo was once a moon of the planet Ostlon, a gas giant near the edge of the system. At some time in the distant past, Ostlon was destroyed, leaving in its orbit a huge debris field containing many exotic gas and particle forms, as well as two remaining moons. By laying in-line with the galactic plane, this outer debris field encapsulated the entire system, and was partially to blame for Yonmaran’s ability to evade sensors.

Based on fossil records and ruins, the planet of Iomere once harbored a species of humanoid life. Though several city structures and remnants have been found, the entire planet has been mysteriously laid waste, its atmosphere stripped away, leaving it little more than a huge gray rock. Mining is possible here with permits, however, any ruins encountered may yet contain dangers and those not with excavation or scientific teams are asked to avoid landing.
