Valhalla Star System

Valhalla is predominantly Hegemony, Tri-Tachyon, and some Independents. There are two suns: Valhalla, the center of the system, and Ragnar.

Valhalla, Orange Star

	Slightly cooler and smaller than Old Earth's sun, this class K star most resembles Alpha Centauri B. It is particularly stable, burning on the lower end of the main sequence for tens of billions of years and thus considered a likely host to life-bearing and terraformable planets.
–In-Game Description

A Hyperspace portal named the Valkyrie Gate orbits this star.

Glasnir, Barren World

	Radiation from the nearby star ravages the surface of this world due to the lack of an atmospheric ozone layer. No significant geological activity. No indigenous life forms.

Orbits closely to Valhalla

Yggdrasil, Gas Giant

	Primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gasses. The temperature and pressure at the core are extreme, but not enough to sustain the deuterium fusion that would turn the planet into a brown dwarf star.
–In-Game Description

Orbits Valhalla

Nidhogg, Volcanic World

	A geological unstable moon due to proximity to the gas giant Yggdrasil, tidal forces endlessly heat and churn the innards of Nidhogg. Fissures and volcanoes dot the surface and the lava they spew flows for many kilometers across the charred crust.
–In-Game Description

Orbits Yggdrasil

Ratatosk, Barren-Bombarded World

	A lifeless and barren moon of rocky-silicates with a wisp of atmosphere that incandesces faintly when struck by Yggdrasil's radiation belts. Most of the sprinkling of domed cities remain abandoned since the collapse, though recent Hegemony strategic policy has encouraged re-industrialization and settlement, especially by veterans. Crew and workers on leave from the nearby Ragnarok Complex and Tri-Tach projects supports a rowdy nightlife and black market.

Orbits Yggdrasil

Raesvelg, Frozen World

	Water and ammonia ice form the immense rifts and chaotically furrowed plains of this world. Below the surface, small pockets of lifeless liquid ocean are trapped between the ice and a crust made of rocky silicates. Some volatiles mining and a begrudging experimental subsurface organics farming initiative takes place, encouraged by Hegemony development grants.

Orbits Yggdrasil

Niflheim, Ice Giant

	A gas giant composed mostly of water, ammonia and methane. Within the depths, gravity generates enough pressure to form a core of metallic hydrogen.
–In-Game Description

Orbits Valhalla. Mimir Siphon Platform orbits closely.

Skathi, Frozen World

	Drifts of nitrogen and methane ice form most of the crust over a rocky silicate/ice mantle which pierces the cowl of this frozen moon here and there. The Hegemony has granted Tri-Tachyon a license for exclusive development, consisting primarily of a sprawling processing plant for volatiles siphoned from Niflheim and the requisite support infrastructure. Rumors abound that it's all the cover story for a secret research facility performing science deemed illegal under Domain law precedence, but inspectors have never reported anything untoward.

Orbits Niflheim

Ragnar, Red Giant

	A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
–In-Game Description

Orbits Valhalla. Ragnar Complex and Ragnar Relay orbit closely.
