System
In the far flung southwestern corner of known space - and sharing a border with the Hekayti in the Cristata Nebula - Materia Syna and its sibling planets inhabit the system of same name as the nebula they border. This particular area of space is considered the frontier with a plethora of natural resources, but is also known to harbor Hekayti pirates and their bases.
Sun
Cristata is a main sequence, type G star, slightly hotter but with the same luminosity of Sol. Similar to Sol, it has an inner core of hydrogen and helium, with a thin photosphere surrounded by its chromosphere and corona.
Planets
The Cristata system has five planets; Materi Syna, Libernum, Cristata 3, Cristata 4, and Sandmother. While Materi Syna, Cristata 3 and 4 are habitable, Libernum is a dead planet and Sandmother a gas giant, both of which are used for natural resources.
Moons
Most scientists on Materi Syna agree that at one point in the planet's history, it had two moons in orbit, considering the series of rings the planet now has which is most likely what's left of the first satellite. The other has been named Perseverance.
History
Modern History
- May 2652 CE - Vadim Tostanavich, on a routine scouting trip for asteroids with valuable minerals, comes across the Cristata system on the fringes of known space. Encountering engine problems, he is forced down on Cristata 2, a habitable planet.
- June 2652 CE - Razorback Cliffwalker and Joshua MacNamara arrive to repair Tostanavich's ship. The three decide with the emptiness of the system and abundance of resources, to colonize the planet. It it is dubbed Materi Syna, translated from Mierznykovy meaning Mother's Son.
- July 2652 CE - Ground is broken on the founding of the Orion Confederacy and New Resilience. Outversers begin to migrate to the frontier world to help in building their own place in Hiverspace.
- July 2652 CE - Dean, Overmind of the New Phyrrian Enclave approaches the Confederacy to join the fledgling country, agreeing to help build and protect New Resilience in exchange for having a place of their own. Resistance at first, but is welcomed in the end.
Geography
Materi Syna has two main continents with many smaller series of island chains.
Continents
Major Cities
- New Resilience - Capital of the Orion Confederacy and the first city that begun the colonization of the planet.
- New Phyrria - City built for the Phyrrians on Materi Syna that is located close by, if not joined with New Resilience. Founded in July 2653 CE.
