The Omega 11 system is a unique and dangerous system. At its core lies a dying red giant star, a huge ogre, belching out fire and radiation across the system. Most of its planetary bodies have been broken up by the intense tidal and thermal forces of the star as it reaches its death throes. Heat and radiation bathe this forsaken system in an eerie red light that begins eroding the hulls of any ship that enters. The numerous planetary debris clouds provide minor cover from its lethal effects, but any movement outside these fields and a ship will enter the perilous Abgrund, a region of space so alive with deadly particles that to even enter it can be fatal.

There is but one reason why humans come to this system: the break up of the planets, and the continued dissolution of the Omega 11 star releases vast amounts of mineral wealth into space in the form of diamonds.

The area most rich in diamonds is the molten Von Rohe Belt that lies around the outer extent of the corona of the dying star. To get there one must brave the Abgrund and the hightened heat and radiation from being so close to the huge star, not to mention the proximity of the corona means a single mistake in course can cause a ship to plummet into the dying giant's deathly embrace.

Omega-11 System

The Omega-11 system is a unique and dangerous system. At its core lies a dying red giant star, a huge ogre, belching out fire and radiation across the system. Most of its planetary bodies have been broken up by the intense tidal and thermal forces of the star as it reaches its death throes. Heat and radiation bathe this forsaken system in an eerie red light that begins eroding the hulls of any ship that enters. The numerous planetary debris clouds provide minor cover from its lethal effects, but any movement outside these fields and a ship will enter the perilous Abgrund, a region of space so alive with deadly particles that to even enter it can be fatal.

There is but one reason why humans come to this system: the break up of the planets, and the continued dissolution of the Omega 11 star releases vast amounts of mineral wealth into space in the form of diamonds. The abundance of these beautiful and normally rare objects is enough to lure many into the system seeking wealth. The area most rich in diamonds is the molten Von Rohe Belt that lies around the outer extent of the corona of the dying star. To get there one must brave the Abgrund and the hightened heat and radiation from being so close to the huge star, not to mention the proximity of the corona means a single mistake in course can cause a ship to plummet into the dying giant's deathly embrace. Yet people still travel to the belt to mine the diamonds and to search for wrecks: the hulks of ships who braved the Abgrund and fell foul of it now float around the belt as a testament to their former owners' foolishness. Yet within these hulks there is yet again the promise of bounty as many of these ships still contain salvageable objects for those who can find them and survive the journey.
