Liaos System

a simple graphic of the system

The Star of the Liaos System, Brilliance.

First planet of the Liaos System, Lunidae.

Atmosphereless, barren, dusty. The planet is the smallest of the system and is practically worthless if it wasn't for the material that can be harvested from it and the occasional subterranian station the planet is pockmarked with.

Second planet of the Liaos System, Regent's Stand.

An inhabited world primarily covered in deep oceans. It has become the site of most of the internal conflicts within the system, being the only world that can be lived in without much difficulty. The planet used to be the military forward base of Remnant, but with the fall of Remnant, it quite frankly has suffered. It was not designed to be self-sufficient.

Recently, would-be warlords and system despots have been vying for what little land can be found on Regent's Stand. Though mechs are rare for these conflicts, they are not unheard of, and they have begun scouring the system's carcass for more mechs, parts, or means of constructing them. Some of the influential warlords have power armor, not quite mechs, but close enough if you've never seen one before. The rest have barely bullet-resistant hard case armor. Officially, the company takes the side of none of these warlords.

An Urdain footsoldier, one of the more influential of the warlords.

The Aunic presence in the system is concentrated on this planet, an orbitally fabbed fortress church that was then dropped into the ocean of the world, the 'Leadlight Panacea' it has been called.

Supposedly, the Aunic symbol.

The asteroid field known as Remnant used to be the third planet of Liaos, it now has the Dead Orbit space station within.

The planet used to be the center of power for the sector, but after a series of cascading NHPs across the entire planet which turned into a series of unshackling NHPs, it has been reduced to this, leaving behind a station that was about to fall into the atmosphere and break apart, and a small rift in space-time.

The asteroid field itself possesses more mass than the planet possessed by over a factor of two hundred, has a shockingly large number of preserved ruins hidden within the dusty ring on some decently sized asteroids, and even occasionally has a breathable atmosphere within a pocket or two.

Sebastian Brine, Renowned Duster.

There are two people who live within the belt, the first group we call 'Dusters'. They are scavengers who simply are trying to eke out a living. Please try to talk with them before firing on them, they are generally a reasonable sort.

The second group call themselves 'the Voladores'. They are tall (like really tall) and enigmatic. We only deal with one of them, though they do have a large ship that seems to live within the cloudy ring of Remnant. The ship is apparently called 'Bóveda de Cristal', whatever that means.

Miguel, the Exotic Goods Trader. He has two biological arms crossed under his shoulder poncho thing that he never uses.

Third planet of the Liaos System, Liaos-4.

Liaos-4 is now the third planet of the Liaos system since Remnant is no longer a planet. The planet is the largest of the system and possesses a highly acidic atmosphere. There are a number of orbital stations around the planet and on its moons, some were for research, some were for habitation, and others for storage or work. They have long since been abandoned, now only for the purposes of scavenging.

Fourth planet of the Liaos System, Lancaster.

To the knowledge of the company, there isn't anything to note on this planet, or orbiting it, besides the Union Expansion Reps. Though many believe that there is something of value here.

The symbol the Union Reps have on everything of theirs.

Fifth planet of the Liaos System, Void's Edge, the third gas giant and final planet of the system.

There is supposedly a rather well-stocked interstellar colonization station in the atmosphere of this world, though since the creation of Remnant, few if any have been able to confirm or deny that myth, and fewer still are willing to risk the interference and potential of getting lost within the mists.

< Crackin' booze is always welcome, and if its good enough for a core worlder such as yerself, then it'll be loved by the bois here. Just give it to tha pilot when ya get to them. >

< I've just directed the pilots to bring ya to tha Union bois...but, uh...well...we have system-wide Omninet access. Ya see, there's this tear in reality- ya know what, I don't really understand how it works, but you should be able to access tha Omninet if ya got tha hardware.

You are greeted by a message after approaching this star sufficiently.

Welcome to Liaos Mining Station, where we- [the feed cuts off and scrambles abruptly and is replaced by an image of a skeleton downing a mug of alcohol, on an orange and black background.] Welcome to hell, home of the Dead Orbit mercenary company. We do odd jobs if you need anything done. Our little asteroid-sized lunar home on the edge of the Union used to be in orbital decay with its host world until an NHP cascaded and slightly terraformed the planet into a belt, and here we are now. This ain't a core world, this is the Diaspera, the edge of that even, nothing is free here. You want supplies; pay, work, or trade for it. Otherwise, move on. We do have some info data packets you can access. -Admin Note: Yes, you have to pay to use the Blink Gate, no we don't have one.

< Read ya loud an' clear. Booze'll do it. We can send ya our larger ship to help tow ya in. Sorry for ya bein' damned, but it is what it is. If you're on good terms with the...[he speech muffles as he talks to someone else.] {What are they called again? Right, right...what about the one's on tha Stand? Gotta say that one more time for me...okay.} Union, Voladores, or Aunic...hope I said those right, if you're on good terms with any of 'em, they could prolly help ya out.

Actually, you're near where Union's parked themselves, the closest planet to ya...we call that ball o' gas Lancaster, they got some sorta expeditionary fleet parked in orbit over there for the past {what was it, five years? seven? really?} seven years. I'll send ya a visual of the planet. But if ya lookin' for work, you could make a name for yourself in the company or as a Duster. >

[A man's voice cuts onto your comms.]

< 'fraid I don't know who Slipway is, but if you don't know how you got into the system, I'd guess you were Spliced. Hold on a mite, I got a data stream for that somewhere…ah, here we are- >

[The comms cut out and you receive another similar video message, this one depicting a different man, based on the voice when he speaks.]

So, you've been Spliced huh? Welcome to the damned population of the Liaos system, were people such as yourself make up over 60% of the population. Well, what is Splicing? Its the term we use for when someone enters into a Blinkgate and exits out here in the middle of Remnant. Remnant by the way is what we call the asteroid field you find yourself in, and no, the atmospheric, gravitational, and temperate…temperature?…the temperature readings you are getting, though confusing, are not wrong. [You receive another visual.]

Well, why did you appear here in Remnant? That is where the planet Liaos, which our humble little system is named after, used to be. I won't bore you with the details of what happened- [On the screen appears the text 'We aren't sure beyond something something NHP unshackling.'] -but what you need to know is that there is a small tear in spacetime, which we've affectionately named 'The Rift', that occasionally Splices fine folk like yourself. It does have the neat little side effect of giving us Omninet access, which I think is nice personally. Oh, and I wouldn't recommend going back through there either, its just as likely to de-atomize you as it is to send you back to where you wanted to be when you wanted to be there, or any number of other options. If you have the means, we would recommend taking the 49 year, 3 month, 6 day, and 7 hour subjective journey to the nearest confirmed inhabited system. It is within what we understand to be Union space, based on what the representatives have told us, or you could add another 5 years to reach Aunic space, based on what the 'High Speaker' has said. Or, you could stay as one of the damned, possibly join Dead Orbit. They are based in Remanant somewhere, once this video stream ends, you should receive the coordinates and an image of the station. [True to the statement, you receive both.]
