[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 1759685, member: 6390"] [size=7][color=red][center]THE HARTELL SYSTEM[/center][/color][/size] [IMG]http://www.intrepidheroes.com/Hartell%20System.jpg[/IMG] The map may be downloaded or viewed in a seperate browser [URL=http://www.intrepidheroes.com/Hartell%20System.jpg]here.[/URL] The Hartell System is the location of one of the few Class A spaceports in the area, as well as the having the 17th Strike Force on planet to protect the system. Recently, there has been 14 sightings of unknown vessels in the system, but none have penetrated beyond the 8th orbit. [b][size=4]Hartell I[/size][/b] Too close to the systems yellow star to have any atmosphere beyond vaporized mercury and iron, Hartell I is a small body, only 5,000 km in diameter, but rich in heavy elements. There is no full sized spaceport here, merely a hangar door on the surface that leads into a hangar for offloading supplies/prisoners/workers and loading people whose contracts/sentences are up, and raw ores. The mines are extensive, but most are over a mile below ground and the termperatures range between 200 C aad 30C. The planet does not rotate, lightside temperature is 2,000 C, while night-side is -600 C. The hangar is on the equator. No sats are in orbit, as solarspot or disturbances in the suns photosphere could easily knock them out of orbit. The mines are owned by the Syntek Corporation, and it is rumored that somewhere in them is a Genejack facility dedicated to producing BAS's capable of surface work, although this is denied, and thought to be nothing more than rumor. [b][size=4]Hastell II[/size][/b][size=4][/size] A small world with an E-Class spaceport, Hastell II is what is known as a "Hellworld" where an exotic atmosphere allows certian alloys to "grow" as it were. Syntek Industries maintains a facility here, where purchased criminals serve thier sentences at a 10:1 rate for years. The conditions are so hostile, no need has been found for extensive prisoner overwatch, as the atmosphere kills some 5,000 inmates a year, and has been known to kill even the most cautious workers. Hastell produces crystallized mercury, limanium/beryllium crystal-matrixed alloys, and other alloys that normally take huge space facilities to create. The atmosphere is 12x Terran Normal, is extremely corrosive and lethal (Fort Save, DC 50 each round, or take 10d6 Con damage, 10d6 damage to all substances not specially coated with neostasis sealant) to everything. The surface temperature is 500 C peak, 325 C low, and the planet rotates once every 6 hours. [b][size=4]Asteriod Belt[/size][/b] The asteriod belt consists of debris from a planet that failed to form properly, rather than a relic of the G'Tak/Protohuman war, as was originally thought. Less than a half dozen relics have been found in the last 50 years, further giving rise to the fact that it is a natural occurance, rather than an artificial one. Common elements are mined in the asteriod belt, and a research station dedicated that reputedly handles zero-g production of alloys. The research station is guarded by serious firepower (tractor beam held asteriods with mounted guns, 62 ultralight class fighters, and a decommission frigate with the best weapons, armor and shields that Syntek can provide) giving rise to the rumors that it might be more than a simple research station. [b][size=4]Hartell Prime[/size][/b] The capitol planet of the Hartell system, this is planet hosts not only a Class A starport, it also boasts a complete spacedock with a Confederate Naval repair base capable of handling ships of the line up to Capitol class. The planet has a .95 G gravity, and is temperate, despite being a desert planet. Terraforming began 15 years ago, via biological methods rather than mechanical, but for the most part, life only exists in the 5 huge dome-cities, that are connected via mag-lev tube. The magnetic field of the planet is unstable to the point that it prevents matter-transmission on disk or dedicated platforms, so even cargo must be transported via shuttlecraft, suborbital, or mag-lev. Gravpine City has a space elevator that connects to the orbital colony "Ulmechta" that was purchased from the Digital Artificial Systems, which has been in orbit for over 60 years. Hartell Prime produces little except for Hillyer Fungus, used in life support systems. [b][size=4]Hartell V[/size][/b] This planet is a dead rock, but 10 years ago, the Flayine Corporation established a factory here that was supposed to be producing density-enhanced ruby for armors. Last year, however, a blast destroyed the facility, and rescue operations have discovered that there must have been some type of geothermal tap, as lava filled the crater. The planetiod has .6 G gravity, no atmosphere, and does not rotate. [b][size=4]Hartell VI[/size][/b] The gas giant, Hartell VI, is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium, and masses about 1/20th Hartell-Sol. There is a gas-mining station extracting high-pressure fused helium atoms, as well as other combinations found only under immense pressures (the mining stems extend roughly 500 miles into the atmosphere of Hartell VI, to where pressure is roughly 300 TN (Terran Normal). The spaceport does not offer any refit facilities, although fuel may be bought at roughly .75 normal cost. There is also no medical facilities, and the entire mining outfit is owned by the Bluetooth Servo Corporation of the Digital Artificial Systems, and no facilities for biologicals exist on the station. There is also an FTL transmission base, long abandoned by the Confederacy, that used the old quark compression wave theories. The base is powered down and marked as Confederacy property. There has been no ships docked, power readings, etc, in over 25 years. [size=4][b]Hartell VII[/b][/size] A dead world, mainly a small, 500 km diameter rock surrounded by 600 km of methane ice, there is a destoyed base where a group of pirates once operated from. It has been gone over several times by wild-catters, scavs, and bounty hunters. Nobody has visited it in over 60 years. Hartell VII has .75 G gravity, no atmosphere except a thin (0.2m) layer of methane gas that rapidly boils off into space. Hartell VII loses 0.01m of diameter every 100 years from bleed-off. [size=4][b]Hartell VIII[/b][/size] Another gas mining facility orbits this gas giant. This facility also produces high-pressure alloys and materials, such as density collapsed iron and diamond. The facility is owned by Hiakado Metals, but maintained by Bluetooth Servo Corporation. BSC keeps an old decommissioned Carribean Class Frigate on station to guard the mining facility. [size=4][b]Hartell IX[/b][/size] This gas giant features the Terran Marine Corps variable gravity training center, as well as a Confederate Navy refueling center. Currently, both bases are only staffed by security and maintenance personell, as both bases crews have been shifted to other places, and recruitment is low in the Hastell System. The spaceport, when at full operation, is a Class B facility, but at the current time, it is only Class H, offering refueling, basic preventive maintenance, and some hullwork. The Naval Base is the only facility in the Hartell System that contains a Gargantuan NCE, although it does take special permissions from the facility commander to utilize it. [size=4][b]Askon[/b][/size] This is the Hartell System's TCMC training facility, where basic combat training, surgery, advanced combat training, ship boarding and other training takes place. It is a "No Travel" zone, and rumor has it that there is also a fully equipped cyborg creation medical facility on the site. The planet is heavily guarded by the TCN, the TCMC, a ring of orbital defense sats, and 4 ships of the line. The heavy security makes many wonder what exactly the TCMC is doing on such a frozen and forbidden ball of rock. [i]How's that? More systems as we go.[/i] [/QUOTE]
