The Adara star system, located in the Adara Sector, consists of a binary star pair, Adara Alpha and Adara Beta, with distinct characteristics. Adara Alpha is a F1V yellow-white main sequence star, larger and more massive than Adara Beta, a G8V yellow main sequence star. The stars are separated by a distance of 0.54 AU, and their combined gravitational forces shape the system's dynamics. The system's lone planet, Eldrima, is a green yet warm world with a predominantly water-covered surface, including vast ice sheets. Its thin and toxic atmosphere is dominated by high-velocity winds, while prokaryotic microbes thrive beneath the icy waters. Volcanic activity contributes to the planet's warmth, but also to its hazardous atmosphere. Additionally, an asteroid belt beyond Eldrima bears evidence of frequent impacts. The Adara star system offers opportunities for studying extreme environments, astrobiology, planetary geology, and the dynamics of binary star systems.

Eldrima

Class: O
Distance: 2.5 AU
Period: 2.57 Years
Radius: 9375.15 km (1.47 x Earth)
Gravity: 1.45 G

This is a green but warm world, 98% of the surface area is water and 57% of that is ice. It has a thin and toxic atmosphere, dominated by high velocity winds. While the atmosphere is mostly oxygen-nitrogen with 1500 ppm chlorine gas making it incapable of supporting most life forms. Prokaryotic microbes do exist in the water of this planet below the large sheets of ice. Heavy volcanic activity contribute to the deadly atmosphere but also keep the water warm enough for simple single / multi-cellular life.

Wrecked Cargo Ship - Stellaris Dawn (RCS-2378)

In the hostile expanse of Eldrima, a wrecked cargo ship rests in a partially submerged state, bearing the scars of a catastrophic crash. The vessel's broken hull, evidence of an impact of unknown origin, lies exposed amidst the planet's toxic atmosphere and turbulent winds. Once a thriving hub of activity, the ship now stands as a solemn reminder of a mission gone awry. The precise cause of the crash remains undetermined, necessitating further investigation into the circumstances that led to this unfortunate event. Salvage operations and reconnaissance efforts are warranted to assess the wreckage, recover any valuable assets, and gather intelligence to shed light on the incident and its implications. The hazardous nature of the planet and the wrecked ship's precarious condition require a pragmatic and disciplined approach to ensure the safety and success of personnel engaged in this mission.

Adarian Cascade

Formed through a cataclysmic planetary collision in the early stages of the star system's existence, this dense belt showcases a captivating dance of fractured celestial bodies. Explorers are drawn to this cosmic labyrinth, enticed by the potential discovery of valuable resources hidden within the asteroids' diverse composition. These celestial fragments hold the promise of rare metals, such as iridium, platinum, and titanium, as well as abundant minerals, including tritanium, corundum, and rare-earth elements. Navigating this perilous terrain requires skill, as gravitational anomalies and cosmic debris pose constant threats.
