Barnard - 5
Barnard-5 is a gas giant with a massive system of moons. The planet itself has little value beyond its hydrocarbon reserves, which are mined by automated platforms operated by Mercurial Logistics and Quantum Dynamics. However, its moons are home to extensive mining colonies and research outposts, particularly on the moon Titanis, where NovaGen Industries conducts clandestine experiments in Genetic Engineering and Eldritch Energy manipulation. The planet’s rings are also rich in rare minerals and exotic gases, attracting corporate mining fleets from across the galaxy.
Geography
The gas giant’s swirling atmosphere is filled with violent storms and cyclonic winds. Its moons vary from rocky worlds with minimal atmospheres to ice-covered moons with underground oceans. The Ring of Titanis is the most resource-rich region, known for its abundance of rare minerals.
