- Delta Pavonis System - Delta Pavonis b - Dust Belt - Pavlov - void city in the depths of the dust belt, the central hub for asteroid mining that has over time become an asterisk of orbitals. - The core of which being a hubcap-like central structure which smaller installations for specialized functions such as material transfer, manufacture and more. End game is making a nomadic space fleet, as they know the end times are near. - They have a very strange history with sol as they are an outlying system which never integrated back into the protectorate despite de facto being in the protectorate. - The daily life is one of unchecked dread as they are spacers with contact to mysterious visitors from [[Gilizet]] they do secret dealings with. They mainly want sprawl tech that will make the exodus stronger. - Their religious doctrines are mostly a descendent of Islamic theology, but other old world faiths are given a friendliness not afforded in prior times. If only because the warmth of religions wrought from Terran soil has a familiarity to it which the beliefs of cold, godless posthuman abominations of distant stars do not. There isn't a state religion, it is merely a common facet of daily life. And explains the geometric emphasis/mosaic style. - Early societies on Pavlov did unsettling psychological experiments, mainly due to the emergent problem of [[Void Psychosis]]. - Vangelis - The ancient karsts of the system which has been around for over eight billion years host within them some enigmas that were not understood in Vanguard times. The system was mostly dismissed as a dying system despite being a subgiant system with well over a billion years left. The terrestrials being more geologically slow, terrain where the sinking of the crust creating vast and spiny mountainous landscape did little to help the notion. The limestone caves go many kilometers deep, as the asthenosphere is weaker. Geological activity died out on the world over a billion years ago. Life was found in subterranean systems, mainly extremely complicated and intricate composite chemotropic algae with specializations to the point research on them had to use 11 dimensional flowcharts to model it. They are so intricate they are referred to as [[opubacter]], with specialized flagella and colonial forms which cross and connect symbiotically through seemingly countless different mechanisms built upon eons of evolution in the oppressive and damp sunken crustal regions. Such life did get complex, indeed the main draw of the world was it was the first world with life this complex was found. Delta Pavonis d was the corpse of a Gaia, the skeletal hollow throughout holding advanced mineralogy from the crustal process hitting its terminal point. The world used to be a frigid world, being not far from the ice line. Pavo is d however, is a world slightly heavier in gravity than earth which makes exploration of the limestone depths more dangerous then it would normally be. The world has an atmospheric pressure of 1.7 ATM, which gets heavier in the depths where carbon dioxide and argon get dense to the point the phenomena of subterranean "cavern clouds" are fairly common to see (they happen on earth as well!) - delta pavonis d - Greenfield (real world main world) - A somewhere small Jovian with only 2 moons, but the two moons show a peculiar property in that they share the same orbital distant with lane swaps on transit. They are both geologically active moons that orbit close to the main world. That they kept active for so long is - Greenfield is lacking in visible rings for some reason - The world itself is a pale world; Jovian cloud activity decayed too much for regular cloud activities to dominate the atmosphere from orbit. - Quite a bit of commerce passes b - Tihomirov - A "super titan" that is 0.27 earth masses mainly known for having orbitals as artificial satellites in the outer delta Pavonis system past Greenfield. - Comet chasers and harvesters use the world as a conduit and refinery complex with greenfield used as a gravity slingshot between the inner world of Vangelis. - They made scientific discoveries about panspermia of massive significance, primarily the uncover of comet hitch hiking meiofaunas able to live for millions of years. - It appears to have gained in atmosphere from the subgiant phase, with a lot of the hydrocarbon sea a product of a recent shifting of the photolysis dynamic. - It isn't an active world regardless. Its gravity well is mostly used as an anchor for other activities in the outer system. - Delta Pavonis g
