Ecosphere:Between 3.0 and 6.7 AU
Location: Nibara Sector
3.2 ly from the Ates Panlok Star System
7.2 ly from the Beeria Sector‎

This binary star system on the edge of the Nibara Sector. Eventually when Durtaria collapses into a wife dwarf, it will draw the hydrogen from its companion star and nova in several billion years. The star system has been charted but is unexplored, having a single planet in the system.

A rare example of a world with marginal habitability. The surface has an extremely dense core with heavy deposits of iridium and platinum but is mostly iron. The high magnetic field created coupled with the unusually dense core have combined to allow this world to retain vast oceans over 50% of its surface with 30% existing as ice mostly at the poles. The atmosphere is a breathable oxygen-argon mixture with trace amounts of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Prokaryotic microbes have naturally evolved in the oceans, which could one day lead the further elevation of life. It is unlikely this planet could ever evolve complex animal life, though very likely it will eventually develop simple vegetation.
