Overview

The Spehon System is a planetary system located in the Sha'Qaz Cluster of the Shadow Veil Sector within the Vyxian Galaxy. As the ancestral home of the Vyxian species, it represents one of the most strategically significant systems in the Draken Empire following its conquest in 14,000 AD. The system is particularly notable for its unique astronomical features, including the Veil Nebula and the Silent Stream asteroid belt, which contribute to its military and scientific importance.
