duat

Hexspace - region of cosmos widely considered cursed. Encounters with demonic entities, GDS, Prophet malfunctions.

Duat is the most known Hexspace system. Both its star and the sole planet share the same name. We will focus on the latter.

The planet is sizable, having a gravity of 1.3 G. It is lifeless but it probably hosted life in the past. Its atmosphere comprises mainly of carbon monoxide. Pressure is approximately at 1atm but due to planet's large distance from the star (6 AU) its surface is very cold.

Some structures resembling burial mounds were discovered in numerous places on Duat's surface. In addition, numerous Pirate burials took place there (dropping coffins, bodies or even entire ships to planet's gravity well, with most burning up in the atmosphere).

Even Artificial Prophets mentioned planet Duat as the 'Tomb World', without any further explanations. It happened at least two times.

Duat lacks any natural satellites. But - to add even more mystery to it - the Fractal Polyhedron is orbiting it over 1000 kilometers above the surface.

One Prophet (Wolfhunter 63's Mainframe) stated that planet was brought to the system by the 'Angels', as a gift for the 'Lesser Beings'. And that it happened long before the first humans had evolved.

black plains of NNNNN

• Spatial phenomena occurring on the planet NNNN.
• Described as 'tears in fabric of reality', 'cracks leading to a vast, colorless and lightless plain, stretching infinitely in every direction'.
• Planet NNN was listed in the Corporate record 1022387 as one of four 'lethal worlds'.
• Some observers of spatial distortions had described the plains as 'curved inwards', resembling an inner surface of Dyson's Sphere.
• F.M. supposedly went there and 'reappeared elsewhere, decades later'. But there are theories that Meis was already dead for over one hundred years before his doppelganger went to the Black Plains. 
• All drones sent to explore the NN anomalies ceased to function. 
• There are reports of an 'entropic vortex in place of sun'.
• N isn't the only one. Black Plains connect many places. But they weren't made as a highway. They were made as a prison.
• Iron Pyramid. Maybe. Reports of the Perpetually Dying One aren't very believable. But, on the other hand, what is? We live and die by the words of insane machines, chasing directions we cannot understand. 

planet-related abnormalities

 

These planetary bodies possess some anomalous traits betwenn Class 4 up to Class 0. 

1. Laann. Tar-like substance in large pools. False Lifeform with ability to alter consciousness.

17. Untairielm. The best documented manifestation(s) of  j4689111.
18. 391939. Colossal droneship of unknown origin is patrolling its vicinity, attacking and destroying other vessels.
19. Horararn. Orbital Panel Array. [ssa]
20. TTRN. Made of oxidized and eroded iron. Extremely complex patterns, and formations, with gorges and cracks reaching tens of miles deep into the planet's structure. Resembles long-defunct mechanical computing device.
21. Jeref's World. Colony established at the end of Old Corporations era. There are reports that Jeref had lived for over three centuries. Site of supposed human experiments, sacrifices and Artificial Heresies.
22. Rynus. Temporal distortions encircling a particular point on the planet's surface (never reached).
23. 8 Anknor. Extremely old ruins detected, some attribute them to the Fallen Kingdom.
24. Kyluz. Mining colony. Reports of numerous visions of large-scale space battle ocurring on the planet's orbit. All visions share same details. No such event occurred (yet).
25. Aessa. Flung out of the system when its red hypergiant star shed its outer layers. Inexplicably appeared in the System 839. Access denied.
