Khufu

Khufu is the nearest planet orbiting Melik star. An extremely hot and inhospitable place, it represent a great opportunity for those who are brave to challenge the hellish environment, due the huge amount of raw metals that covers the surface. Abandoned for a long time due the difficulties to make it profitable, recently Dabaran extended it's influence on the planet, restoring the only outpost present and creating new trade routes from and to Shepard Terminal.   Dunes composed by small particles of metals are the only view existing on the planet: winds constantly sweep the surface, creating highly destructing "Iron Storms", capables of picking clean the bones of any unfortunate traveller. The storms are so highly dangerous that the entire planet is a no-fly zone, and only specialized aircrafts can challenge the atmosphere of the world.    

Notable Places

Shepard Terminal

Orbiting Khufu on a high orbit, Shepard Terminal represents the main establishment of Dabaran in the Melik system. Built by a consortium of Dars to expand Dabarani influence on the nearby systems, the station truly represents the Emirates agenda in Melik.   The station act as a gateway for any activity on Khufu. The highly specialized ships the depart daily from the hangars (commonly referred as "Ferries") are the only way to access the planet.  

Last Wish

Originally an outpost on the hellish surface of Khufu, Last Wish it's a megacomplex built to withstand the apocalyptic environment: huge walls, battered and punctured by the metal storms that perpetually sweep the planet, protect a population mainly composed by miners and low functionaries, with a small garrison of guards.
