Trobror:

  • Orbital Distance:  0.3 AU
  • Orbital Period:  0.2 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  _
  • Radius:  10,851 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.00 atm
  • Surface Temp:  243 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Loosely translated, “Trobor” is the krogan word for “cinder” or “ash heap.” This massive desert world harbors no life, water, or minerals of any use.

Kadara:

  • Orbital Distance:  .9 AU
  • Orbital Period:  1.0 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.729
  • Radius:  8,859 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.10 atm
  • Surface Temp:  29 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses
  • Colony:  Kadara Port (capital, founded _, of species:  Angara)

Nonviable 

A mountainous world originally settled by the angara, Kadara is now a haven for Nexus exiles and pirates. In addition to this criminal element, the planet is plagued by toxic water caused by an atypical amount of sulfide minerals.

Viable 

A mountainous world originally settled by the angara, Kadara is a haven for Nexus exiles and pirates. With its water now drinkable, Kadara is also home to an Initiative outpost, Ditaeon. (Founded by Pathfinder Ryder; Mayor Christmas Tate elected.)

Initial Codex Entry 

Kadara was of great interest to the Andromeda Initiative after it appeared on long-range surveys. Seemingly abundant liquid water and an oxygen-mix atmosphere made it a strong candidate for settlement, earning it the designation Habitat 4. Closer range surveys now reveal that Kadara’s water sources are tainted and un-potable.

Of greater concern is the large settlement known as Kadara Port. Reportedly once a trade port for the angara, it has been adopted by exiles, pirates, and mercenaries who use it as a staging ground. Kadara Port is considered a rogue state by the Nexus, given its strong ties to the Exiles, and Initiative personnel are advised to keep their distance.

APEX reports that Kadara Port is currently contested by two factions: the pirate Outcasts, led by former Nexus security official Sloane Kelly, and a more mysterious group of spies and smugglers broadly known as the Collective.

Outcasts Retain Control over Kadara Port 

Sloane Kelly, leader of the pirate Outcasts, has now cemented her hold on Kadara Port and pledged to defend any outposts on Kadara from other exile factions. Officially, the Nexus still has no diplomatic ties with Kelly; unofficially, the APEX bounty on Kelly has been quietly withdrawn.

Collective Seizes Control of Kadara Port 

Kadara Port is now controlled by the Collective, led by “the Charlatan” Reyes Vidal. The Nexus is considering its response to these events, as Vidal is an unknown factor to the Initiative’s leadership.

Kadara Outpost Established 

Ditaeon, the Initiative outpost on Kadara, has had a smooth initial deployment. The outpost is led by Christmas Tate, formerly of Mining Company 07 on Mars.

Kadara Vault Activated and Outpost Established 

Sampling shows that activating Kadara’s vault has dramatically improved water quality. New algal blooms and microbial life have emerged, which eat and metabolize sulfide minerals in the ground water before serving as food supply for larger animals. Ditaeon should not require more than standard water trading.

Kadara Vault Activated and Outpost Not Established 

Sampling shows that activating Kadara’s vault has dramatically improved water quality. New algal blooms and microbial life have emerged, which eat and metabolize sulfide minerals in the ground water before serving as food supply for larger animals.

Mine:

  • Orbital Distance:  1.9 AU
  • Orbital Period:  2.9 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  _
  • Radius:  10,323 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  2.82 atm
  • Surface Temp:  -28 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Cobalt and boron are among the resources available on the aptly (if unimaginatively) named Mine. Workers struggle under heavy gravity and frigid temperatures to bring their prizes home.

Mountain 

DATA:
Height: 9.4 km
Origin: Tectonic

ANALYSIS:
Dense and radioactive metals make portions of Mine difficult to scan. This mountain, thick with valuable materials, had gone undiscovered until our arrival.

Bakker:

  • Orbital Distance:  15.6 AU
  • Orbital Period:  68.8 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio: _
  • Radius:  74,552 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.78 atm
  • Surface Temp:  _ °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Disputes among exiles break out frequently over Bakker, the gas giant is useful for ships looking to replenish their helium-3 supplies and this a resource to be claimed.

Thy’vernos:

  • Orbital Distance:  15.9 AU
  • Orbital Period:  71.2 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  _
  • Radius:  11,450 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.00 atm
  • Surface Temp:  -210 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

A massive ball of rock and frozen methane, Thy’vernos has little apparent material or scientific value. Would-be miners from Kadara keep scanning it, just in case.

Anomaly

DATA:
Beryllium

ANALYSIS:
A metal ideal for lightweight construction in a variety of applications. This deposit is readily accessible.
