It contains the angara colony world of Aya, the current center of angara civilization. A large Scourge formation surrounds the system and makes travel difficult, deterring kett investigation.

Angaran Satellite Navpoint 

DATA:

  • Satellite ID: N/A
  • Power readings: N/A
  • System report: N/A
  • Status: N/A

ANALYSIS:
This is the navpoint provided by Maariko Darej, but there is neither evidence of a satellite nor debris from one.

Asteroid 

DATA:
G-type asteroid
Diameter: 232 km
Surface gravity: 0.014 G

ANALYSIS:
This asteroid contains large quantities of frozen water: unusual for this particular asteroid belt and a possible host for microbial life.

Planets Directory:

  1. Mae Raav
  2. Sansesyol
  3. Aya
  4. Obayro
  5. Fetvun

Mae Raav:

  • Orbital Distance:  0.5 AU
  • Orbital Period:  0.3 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  1.389
  • Radius:  9,357 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.64 atm
  • Surface Temp:  135 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

The angara have established a research station on the boiling, toxic surface of Mae Raav, but it appears unmanned and in danger of destruction. Perhaps the angara lacked the resources to maintain it.

Sansesyol:

  • Orbital Distance:  0.9 AU
  • Orbital Period:  0.9 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.9
  • Radius:  6,584 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.28 atm
  • Surface Temp:  11 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Despite its comfortable temperature and gravity, Sansesyol’s composition is highly toxic and inimical to most lifeforms. It would be difficult at best to colonize.

Satellite 

DATA:
Satellite ID: Unknown
Power Readings: 4.2%
System Report: Functional but dormant
Status: Active

ANALYSIS:
A kett satellite is well-concealed low in Sansesyol’s orbit, doubtless designed to observe angaran activities in the system. Disabling it permanently is a simple task.

Aya:

  • Orbital Distance:  1.1 AU
  • Orbital Period:  1.3 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.788
  • Radius:  3,289 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.40 atm
  • Surface Temp:  28 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses
  • Satellites:  1
  • Colony:  1 (for species:  Angara)

Aya is a small and lush tropical world. Its unique position, hidden by both the Scourge and Heleus’s black hole, has allowed it to go undetected by the kett.

ALERT: Aya is a sovereign world of the angara. All Initiative personnel must conform to early contact protocols.

Codex Entry 

Codex MEA - Aya

Aya is an anomaly in the Heleus Cluster: a lush planet where a Remnant site appears to be active. It is a sanctuary for the angara, the only known sentient species local to Heleus, and guarded fiercely against outsiders. This is helped by Aya’s position relative to Heleus’ black hole, whose gravitational lensing effect makes Aya harder to detect. The Scourge also makes the approach to Aya extremely dangerous for untrained pilots. Scans indicate numerous kett wrecks lost in the Scourge nearby, picked clean by angaran salvagers.

Aya is also the headquarters of the Angaran Resistance movement against the kett, whose leaders advise Aya’s planetary governor, Paaran Shie. Director Tann has ordered that Aya is not only to be considered sovereign territory, but a military power. While the Tempest and its crew were allowed to visit peacefully, the Nexus is advising extreme caution to other potential visitors, and ordering the distribution of “early contact” guidelines.

With relations warming between the Initiative and the angara, diplomatic overtures continue. The Initiative is opening an embassy on Aya with Paaran Shie’s approval, while extending invitations to angaran diplomats and scientists to tour the Nexus. Our Cultural Exchange is beginning several cooperative programs intended to foster better understanding between the various Milky Way species and the angara.

Obayro:

  • Orbital Distance:  17.7 AU
  • Orbital Period:  83.2 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.801
  • Radius:  5,771 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  41.20 atm
  • Surface Temp:  77 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses
  • Satellites:  1

Obayro‘s surface is primarily composed of iron, but mountains rich with less common metals dot the landscape. Scans indicate that the angara have often sent mining expeditions here.

Graphite

DATA:
Graphite

ANALYSIS:
This graphite mineral deposit should prove useful to the Initiative for manufacturing.

Fetvun:

  • Orbital Distance:  20.5 AU
  • Orbital Period:  103.8 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.8
  • Radius:  55,380 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.67 atm
  • Surface Temp:  _ °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses
  • Satellites:  1

Every century, Fetvun‘s orbital path takes it dangerously near a stretch of Scourge. It appears to be bleeding atmosphere as a consequence.
