Phyrra System – Diomedes12th July 3091Located Close to the Magenta system (20.5 Light years) on the Gulf of Tears (1900 Ly from Sol)
Is the Phyrra System. Composed of 2 Planets, Both SuperJovian, called Midas and Gallonigher.
Midas is the most interesting. It has a co-orbiting pair of moons that together make up over 2 Earth masses of material. Diomedes is an Early earth analogue, that is currently undergoing an “oxygen catastrophe Oceanic bacteria and algae have released so much oxygen into the atmosphere that is beginning to aaccumulate although the gas mix is not breathable by Terran life, it is becoming toxic to the native life and a mass extinction is under way.
Acheron is more of a Mystery. Having a stable advance biosphere composed of Chlorine and Phosphor based life, water is toxic and as such the analogue, phosphor has taken over. Phosphor lakes light the night side with an eerie green and when the world is not shrouded in clouds from one of its frequent planetary storms, the lakes are easily bright enough to be seen from Diomedes in the daytime
The system Falls under the dominion of the Empiret Magenta Hegemony and as such, Acheron's unique resources are being harvested. The Empress has seen fit however to establish a research team on the world to try and minimise the impact of mining
there are suggestions that this world was terraformed within the last 10 million years. Superficial evidence for this is the difference in evolutionary complexity of life between Diomedes and Acheron, it is also supported by the existence of Dendray, the moon of Peripolis (Magenta Home System) a world with no biosphere of its own but a similar chlorine mix in the atmosphere.
