	The Sotaleko Star System revolves around a small and cool M6V Red Dwarf star. It consists of just two small planets, Sotaleko Prime and Sotaleko 2. Despite being unremarkable in terms of its planetary composition, neither of the planets is suitable for supporting life. Sotaleko Prime, a frozen world with active geological features, maintains a thick atmosphere mainly composed of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. However, its surface is covered in permanent glaciers heavy in frozen hydrocarbons. On the other hand, Sotaleko 2 is a barren and desolate planet with a thin atmosphere primarily made up of hydrocarbons and oxygen. Both planets lack the necessary conditions for sustaining life, and the cool nature of the star prevents them from being viable candidates for terraforming endeavors.

The system was surveyed in 2387 by the Avali on behalf of [[Solas Tempus]] and the Hermod Outpost, Sotaleko Terminal, was installed on the 1st planet that same year.

	Sotaleko 1 is a frozen world that boasts several unique and intriguing features. Covered in glaciers and exhibiting ongoing geological activity, the planet experiences regular volcanic eruptions and small tectonic shifts. These volcanic outgassings play a crucial role in maintaining a relatively warm atmosphere, preventing the planet from freezing altogether. The thick permanent glaciers on the surface are rich in frozen hydrocarbons, adding to the planet's distinct character. The atmosphere of Sotaleko 1 is thick and primarily composed of argon, nitrogen, and oxygen, with a surface temperature around -20°C and a pressure approximately 1.5 times that of Earth at 152 kPa.

			The [[Hermod Outpost]] [[Sotaleko Terminal]] is located on this planet.

	Beneath the ice-covered surface, a remarkable subglacial ocean exists, fostering the development of aquatic life. This includes various species of algae, bacteria, and even higher organisms such as Ctenophora and Thaliacea. Many of these organisms exhibit bioluminescent qualities, adding a stunning display of light to the otherwise frozen environment. Additionally, small creatures resembling glacier ice worms burrow into the ice to extract oxygen, while closer to the sea floor, oxygen becomes abundant.
