Overview

Sector D is the designated zone for Empire-wide trash and waste disposal. It is a small star system consisting of a single sun and five planets of various size, each with it's own assigned function.

Overview

Alpha is the smallest planet in Sector D and the Empire's primary incineration site for general refuse. The planet's constant volcanic activity makes it a natural furnace, swallowing mountains of waste in magma flows and turning the rest into ash and toxic vapor. Imperial policy designates Alpha as a “General Dump.” The atmosphere is thick with soot and ash clouds. Travel by land is inadvisable, so ships are the only viable transport, though even they require constant shielding from corrosive gases and heat plumes.

Planetary Data

Primary Star: 1 (Sol-type)
Moons: 2 (Alpha a and Alpha e)
Rotation Period: 85 local days
Climate: Extremely volatile; constant seismic and volcanic activity
Atmosphere: Heavy sulfuric content, corrosive gases, minimal oxygen
Topography: Jagged mountain ranges, lava plains, sulfur vents, and ash valleys

Known Inhabitants

Population sparse and transient. Most visitors are scavengers, scrap haulers, or cultists seeking spiritual purification through proximity to fire and decay. A handful of illegal refineries operate under the radar, using the planet's heat to melt down discarded alloys.

Imperial Status

Designated as a waste management site under limited Imperial oversight. Enforcement presence minimal due to extreme environmental hazards and negligible economic value. Imperial records classify Alpha as “self-sanitizing.”

Addendum

Among the planet's few permanent sites is the Cult Settlement, an isolated enclave built along the rim of the Caustic Divide. The residents, mostly former laborers and outcasts, worship the planet's volcanic cycles as divine renewal—believing that through destruction, impurities are purged from both matter and spirit. Despite its grotesque setting, Alpha's hellish glow and eerie quiet have inspired a small following of fringe philosophers who describe it as “the Empire's honest reflection.”

Overview

Beta is the rare patch of green in the otherwise miserable expanse of Sector D. Its lush terrain and stable biosphere make it the Empire's prime composting hub, handling organic waste and decomposable materials from thousands of colonies. The planet's massive flora, nutrient-rich soil, and vast underground aquifers make it an ideal natural recycler, turning what was once trash into valuable agricultural compost. Despite the planet's beauty, its primary function remains decidedly unromantic: it's where the Empire's waste goes to rot and feed new life.

Planetary Data

Primary Star: 1 (Sol-type)
Moons: 1 (Beta a)
Rings: 2 (wide, semi-translucent bands of reflective dust and ice)
Rotation Period: 156 local days
Climate: Warm, temperate, heavy seasonal rainfall
Atmosphere: Nitrogen-oxygen mix, high humidity, rich in organic particulates
Topography: Rolling plains, colossal trees, river basins, and sinkhole networks leading to vast subterranean aquifers.
Unique Features: Planet-wide mycelial network that accelerates decomposition and bioluminescent fungi that glow across compost fields at night.

Known Inhabitants

Populated primarily by waste management workers, agricultural scientists, and colonists specializing in bioengineering. A number of self-sufficient communes have also formed, living off the nutrient-rich land. Illegal settlements sometimes develop near industrial compost pits, scavenging metals or plastics from reclamation centers.

Imperial Status

Officially classified as a Type-B Agricultural Resource World. Monitored by Imperial Environmental Operations due to its economic importance in producing high-grade compost and biomass fuel. Flyu oversight is relatively light but consistent, ensuring “acceptable contamination levels.”

Addendum

According to recent statistics, Sector D - Beta is the largest producer of organic compost in the Empire.

Overview

Gamma is the Empire's designated toxic pit—a radioactive world where the worst byproducts of industrial, military, and scientific excess are buried, vaporized, or digested by the planet itself. With its dense core and thick, irradiated atmosphere, Gamma is naturally hostile to nearly all higher life forms. Yet, it is precisely this hostility that makes it invaluable. Specialized bacterial species thriving in its irradiated soil metabolize radiation and toxic compounds, slowly cleansing areas where even droids would corrode. Gamma's ecosystems are a bizarre alliance between decay and endurance, existing on the edge of total annihilation.

Planetary Data

Primary Star: 1 (Sol-type)
Moons: 5 (Gamma a, Gamma e, Gamma i, Gamma o, Gamma u)
Rotation Period: 280 local days
Climate: Perpetually overcast with glowing particulate storms
Atmosphere: Dense, toxic, saturated with radioactive isotopes
Topography: Jagged plateaus, glassed deserts, and lakes of heavy metals
Unique Features: Native bacterial strains that feed on radiation, forming glowing mats across the surface.

Known Inhabitants

Permanent habitation is impossible without full protective gear and environmental domes. The only occupants are automated processing drones, research units studying radiovore evolution, and a small number of Flyu overseers stationed aboard orbital facilities. Human presence is rare and typically limited to short-duration missions under strict quarantine.

Imperial Status

Access to Gamma is restricted to authorized Imperial Environmental Operations and Waste Regulation Divisions. Any unauthorized approach is met with automated defensive fire from orbital stations.

Addendum

Wild conspiracies on Holive have suggested that Gamma is the site f a number of Imperial black projects, and the hazardous enviornment is a cover for secret research into bioweapons and radiological warfare. It must be emphasized that no credible evidence supports these claims.

Overview

Delta serves as the Empire's mechanical graveyard, where the carcasses of ships, droids, and entire industries are stripped, crushed, or reimagined into new forms. Once an oceanic planet, its current landscape is a parched wasteland of dunes and metallic husks. Dried seabeds stretch for hundreds of kilometers, concealing half-buried relics of forgotten fleets. The planet's thin atmosphere and fluctuating temperatures make habitation difficult, but the allure of valuable scrap keeps the desperate and the daring tethered here.

Planetary Data

Primary Star: 1 (Sol-type)
Moons: 4 (Delta a, Delta e, Delta i, Delta o)
Rotation Period: 360 local days
Climate: Hot desert by day, frigid by night; scattered polar icecaps
Atmosphere: Thin, arid, high particulate content from metallic dust
Topography: Vast dunes, salt plains, and colossal scrapyard fields

Known Inhabitants

Population consists primarily of scavengers, traders, engineers, and fugitives—both human and Flyu. Most settlements are built from salvaged starship hulls and discarded plating. Automation is minimal, and local authority is largely self-regulated through uneasy alliances between crews.

Imperial Status

Delta's supervision is minimal. The Empire values its function but not its people. Enforcers visit infrequently, typically to extract valuable parts or silence disruptive individuals.

Addendum

Junker's Gullet, a settlement and trade hub nestled between dune ridges, has become a popular hive of shady deals, makeshift workshops, and questionable hospitality. The local bar, The Hollow Bolt, is infamous for its unpredictable clientele and frequent brawls. Imperial enforcement there is lax, so while it may be a convenient location, visitors are advised to keep their wits about them.

Addendum 2

The Delta a Racing Circuit has become a popular attraction for locals and visitors alike, despite opperating outside of legal parameters. Located on Delta's primary moon, this outlawed racing arena is the sector's main spectacle. Racers pilot ships cobbled together from scavenged parts, pushing their craft to the limits in high-risk, high-speed competitions. The first qualifier race—from Delta's surface to Delta a's orbit—is notorious for testing both skill and the structural integrity of the racers' ships. Sabotage, mid-race collisions, and fatal crashes are common; spectators consider them part of the thrill.

Overview

Epsilon serves as the logistical heart of Sector D, the entry point through which all waste, scrap, and refuse must pass before redistribution to other planets in the system. Though small and largely barren, its efficiency keeps the Empire's junk ecosystem functional. Freighters line up in orbit to offload cargo, automated haulers shuttle containers to vast sorting yards, and supervisors monitor everything from elevated command towers that glow faintly under the system's weak light. Despite its unassuming purpose, Epsilon is one of the few planets in Sector D that operates on anything resembling a schedule.

Planetary Data

Primary Star: 1 (Sol-type)
Moons: 3 (Epsilon a, Epsilon e, Epsilon i)
Rotation Period: 390 local days
Climate: Dry and windy, with wide temperature fluctuations
Atmosphere: Thin, breathable with filtration; heavy dust particulate
Topography: Flat rock plains, low mesas, and artificial landing platforms

Known Inhabitants

Primarily staffed by low-ranking Imperial logistics crews, drone operators, and independent haulers. A few semi-permanent settlements exist near the sorting fields, providing shelter, repair services, and modest entertainment for exhausted workers and travelers.

Imperial Status

Epsilon is maintained directly under the Empire's Waste Management and Redistribution Directorate. It is one of the few Sector D planets with regular oversight, primarily due to the volume of material traffic it handles.

Addendum

Epsilon e Rest Station: Located on the largest moon, this orbital complex serves as a refueling and rest facility for freighter pilots and cargo crews. Its amenities are basic but reliable—cheap food, sleeping pods, and occasional black-market trinkets for those who know where to look.
