Desolate (Corridor 0608)

Starport Class: Class X Diameter: 9003 Miles Atmosphere: Hydrofluoric Acid Surface Water: 23% Acid "Seas" Climate: Hellishly Hot Population: 0 Government: None Law Level: 0 Tech Level: 0

The only free world around a lonely "bachelor" star, no one dared colonize this dangerous planet. The world is wreathed in a deadly cloud of hydrofluoric acid, and possesses few resources worth exploiting. The small 1117 population inhabited a mostly automated orbiting starport, which quickly surrendered to the advancing Vargr. The human staff was expelled to the Domain of Deneb, and the Irrgh Manifest Navy tried to convert the base into a naval storage facility. A vampire ship blasted the station into debris in 1140, leaving a cloud of metal in geostationary orbit.
