Status: Chaotic, Scarred, Unstable
Atmosphere: Thin, scorched, largely unbreathable (Pyro IV) / Thick, turbulent, and storm-ravaged (Pyro V)
Surface Temp: Variable — blistering days and freezing nights on Pyro IV; violent storms and swirling gas on Pyro V
Travel Advisory: Extreme caution advised — high radiation, volatile weather, and unpredictable orbits.

🛰️ Overview

In most systems, planets orbit the star while moons circle those planets in tidy orbits. Not so in the Pyro system.

Pyro IV orbits Pyro V — a massive gas giant — a phenomenon known as planetary capture. Likely born as a free-floating terrestrial planet, Pyro IV was pulled into orbit by Pyro V’s immense gravity, becoming neither a full planet nor a traditional moon.

This chaotic dance reflects Pyro’s violent past — intense solar flares, radiation storms, and gravitational disruptions have left Pyro IV scorched, thin-atmosphered, and trapped in an elliptical, unstable orbit.

💰 Why Bother?

Pyro IV is a failed terraforming experiment, littered with abandoned tech and research outposts. Treasure hunters and salvage crews search the ruins for lost tech and valuable data, while Pyro V’s raging storms attract atmospheric miners and storm chasers looking for exotic gases.

Though dangerous and unstable, both worlds offer rare opportunities for the brave and well-equipped.

⚠️ Points of Interest

• The Scarred Plains (Pyro IV): Barren, cracked landscapes dotted with the remains of terraforming stations and crashed vessels.

• Orbiting Research Relics: Derelict satellites and orbital labs offer salvage but beware radiation bursts.

• Storm Vortex Zones (Pyro V): Massive, violent storms that produce exotic gases valuable for refining and fuel production.

• Gas Mining Platforms: Scattered floating rigs harness Pyro V’s turbulent atmosphere for rare resources.

🛑 Final Warning

Pyro IV and V are harsh lessons in cosmic chaos and nature’s power. Travelers must expect the unexpected: erratic gravity, extreme radiation, and violent storms.

Only the toughest ships and crews should attempt to navigate these worlds — and even then, be prepared to abort at a moment’s notice.

Survive the chaos. Claim the spoils. Respect the wild forces that shaped Pyro IV and V.
