Frontier
Overview
TYPHON
Y-CLASS BROWN DWARF HYADES CLUSTER CLASSICATIONY/XOVII.PEC ESTIMATED AGE: 12-13.7 B.YO.
Catalogued by Dr. Hieng's expedition of 2031, Typhon is actually a brown dwarf - neither a star nor a planet! Chemically peculiar and unspeakably ancient, Typhon roars with ferocious storms of Fadeev-Popov anomalous anhydrous evaporate (paae)- the same wondrous "Plasma" found by the Apollo missions on earth's own Moon, the super fuel that brought Humanity to the stars! Typhon sits at the barycenter between a binary pair of Hyades sisters, but is far, far older - perhaps even a primordial relic from the earliest ages of the universe.
Pendus
- Iron planetoid
- Extreme radiation
- Extreme tidal forces
- Extreme bolide activity
This broken world hangs just above typhon's grasp, where it undergoes heavy bombardment from both inner ring impactors and the plasma dwarf's own intense radiation. Tidal forces are activeiy tearing away at the inward-facing surface. Amidst these lethal hazards, NanoTrasen and Thinktronic jointly operate the automated observatory at Outpost Omicron. Monitoring Typhon's corona and surface since 2047, the ""Watchful eye"" sensor array provides frontier facilities with early warnings of hazardous plasma flares and ion storms."

The core of a hot sub Jovian planet, its atmosphere blown away long ago. What remains is a strange orb full of metallic hydrogen, exotic super-dense metals and radioactive isotopes. Surface features include vast flood plains of steel, eerie peaks of cerenkite, and deep incandescent rifts. Thanks to advances in experimental materials and automation, Nanotrasen's new extraction Outpost Phi ("The Pancake") is the first structure strong enough to withstand the crushing surface gravity and hazards here.
