Uharu

Uharu is known for its rebels, its Dabaran colonies, and the asteroid refineries the Consortium runs - or at least used to run - here. The brown dwarf that has given its name to the system has about twenty moons circling it, several of them with biotopes and exotic fauna. The system was a goldmine to the Firstcome colonists that settled here, but the rich supply of natural resources soon attracted Dabaran entrepreneurs and eventually the Colonial Agency. The newcomers tried to take over the system and, today, more or less open war rages across several of the different ice and forest moons. The lava-covered moon Pyre orbits close to the brown dwarf in a magnetic flux tube, and the Foundation has founded a small base here to study magnetic fields.
FOREST MOONS
Many moons of Uharu have a breathable atmosphere and are covered with forests. Each of these moons boasts similar fauna, and Portal Builder ruins in circular arrangements. The Foundation’s xeno-archaeologist Dina Marrakali has returned from an expedition to Uharu-9 with a large haul of Firstcome items and maybe even some Portal Builder artifacts. While everything was being properly logged and processed, the unthinkable happened – a rectangular, white sandstone statuette disappeared. The data djinn can find no trace of a burglary, and so Dina and her archivist Chuma Hirami have become the prime suspects. They deny the accusations, but are unable to explain how the artifact has gone missing.

The Tacharuk Nomad Fleet has kept the Zenethians from gaining space superiority in the Uharu system. So, they amass in nearby Taoan.
