Mainworld Data

Khinumi V, a gas giant in the Khinumi system. A small colony, Sunset Aura, is maintained within the gas giant’s breathable atmosphere – officially under the flag of the Baron of Khinumi, but really run as a joint venture of the megacorporations Makhidkarun and Tukera Lines.

Once upon a time, the gas giant was famous for its breathable layer of atmosphere: even Emperor Anguistus (reigned 326-365) publicly declared that colonizing such worlds would be the future of the Imperium, and the Ministry of Colonization has an entire department to handle gas giant terraforming and colonization. But in the end, the costs rose to astronomical heights while unexpected difficulties just kept on building on top of each other, with the entire project forgotten by the early 400s Imperial.
