Barnard - 2
Barnard-2 is a frozen, ice-covered world farther from Barnard’s Star. Its surface is covered by thick layers of ice, with vast subterranean oceans hidden beneath. These oceans are believed to harbor alien life forms, and NovaGen Industries has established underwater research stations to study the strange eldritch creatures found there. While life on the surface is nearly impossible due to the extreme cold and lack of atmosphere, the subsurface oceans are teeming with biological potential.
The Oranos Institute also has a presence on Barnard-2, studying ancient eldritch artifacts found embedded in the ice, many of which are thought to predate human civilization by millennia.

Geography
The surface of Barnard-2 is a vast expanse of frozen tundra and glacial mountains, with frequent ice storms. The subterranean ocean is accessible through deep fissures in the ice, where underwater research stations float amid vast abyssal trenches and eldritch ruins.
