Malgus Solar-system

System Specs:

  • Stellar Mass:  0.77 Sol Masses
  • Stellar Class:  K
  • Luminosity:  N/A Sol
  • Planets:  3
  • Moons:  0
  • Asteroid Belts:  0
  • Asteroids:  0
  • Objects:  0

The Blood Pack control Malgus as a vorcha breeding and training ground. Travel advisories strongly recommend against civilian traffic to the system.

Its harsh terrestrial worlds pose little problem to the vorcha and krogan, who only need breathing masks at best while other races require enviro-suits. They both rate rich in resources obtainable by the Normandy SR-2, although Wrill’s inhabitants are said to be making only a meager living on tin and copper deposits. The gas giant Uzin is believed to be in an unstable orbit, and may fall into Malgus after a few million years.

Uzin:

  • Orbital Distance:  0.3 AU
  • Orbital Period:  0.2 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.675
  • Radius:  74,137 km
  • Day Length:  12.4 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  N/A atm
  • Surface Temp:  N/A °C
  • Surface Gravity:  N/A g
  • Mass:  N/A Earth-masses
  • Satellites:  >1

Named for one of many krogan gods of vengeance, Uzin is a gas giant close enough to its orange sun that none of its moons are considered habitable. Its composition is largely hydrogen and methane, with traces of xenon that the krogan collect for use in ion drives. Uzin is well within the “frost line” where gas giants usually do not form, leading astronomers to believe that its orbit used to be further from the star. If so this would indicate a seriously unstable orbit, and the planet may plunge into its star within a few million years.

Wrill:

  • Orbital Distance:  0.6 AU
  • Orbital Period:  0.5 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.864
  • Radius:  5,999 km
  • Day Length:  30.1 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  Trace atm
  • Surface Temp:  56 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  0.9 g
  • Mass:  0.79 Earth-masses

A planet only a vorcha could love, Wrill is notable for its “near miss” climate: punishing heat and a thin toxic methane-ethane atmosphere. Its surface is dotted with krogan and vorcha habitats eking out a meager living off the planet’s tin and copper deposits and killing anyone who cuts into their profits.

TRAVEL ADVISORY: Krogan can survive in the heat with the use of a breathing mask. All other species require environmental suits to avoid heat exhaustion and burns. Liquid water can be found in large lakes on the surface. This can be used for thermoregulation, but it is not potable without processing.

ALLIANCE BULLETIN: Large-scale gang warfare is a regular occurrence on Wrill. Civilian traffic is not advised.

Flett:

  • Orbital Distance:  1.2 AU
  • Orbital Period:  1.5 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.768
  • Radius:  5,623 km
  • Day Length:  48.2 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  2.49 atm
  • Surface Temp:  16 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  0.7 g
  • Mass:  0.54 Earth-masses

Uninhabitable by most species, Flett is home to the Blood Pack’s vorcha training and breeding grounds. The thick atmosphere is nearly all nitrogen and lacks oxygen, which poses no hazard to the vorcha. Needing little but imports of food and water, vorcha mercenaries and mercenaries-to-be train religiously to overpower and kill whoever the company is at war with this time.

TRAVEL ADVISORY: Flett’s spaceports are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Blood Pack mercenary company, a corporation undergoing numerous criminal investigations for capital crimes. Civilian traffic to Flett is strongly discouraged.
