Zvezilva is a Class F star in the Dragon's Head Nebula. It is a major industrial center in the Eteno Imperial Triumvirate and the home system of the Kr'aszazz.

History[]

Zvezilva remained unexplored in depth after its initial surveys for a long time as a result of its lack of visibly life-giving worlds. Though Zvezilva IV was found to be capable of supporting an Eteno colony in theory, it went untouched due to the sheer hostility of the climate towards a race used to a humid, oxygen-rich atmosphere. Only an independent expedition by Krunoslav Mining and Minerals to explore the possibility of mineral extraction in the system revealed the presence of robust, sentient life. KMM pushed for the construction of gates to Zvezilva, which were finished in 1272 AD.

KMM expeditions to Zvezilva IV revealed the presence of a hardy race of exotic creatures, whose society faintly echoed the history of the Eteno. Though brave, sturdy, and free-spirited, the Kr'aszazz were too disunited by poverty and constant warfare to resist the annexation of the planet into the EIT. Instead of being oppressed, as they expected, the Kr'aszazz were welcomed into the empire as a subservient race and lifted from their stagnant squalor of brutal warfare and utter poverty by Eteno order, technology, and industry.

Various mining companies soon moved into the system and hired countless Kr'aszazz to exploit the system's nigh-unimaginable mineral wealth, as their survivability in hostile environments is far superior to that of Eteno. Over time, the Kr'aszazz integrated into Eteno society and have forged themselves a reputation of toughness, reliability, and honesty.

Planets and features[]

Zvezilva I[]

Zvezilva I is a hot, molten planet that completes a single orbit around its star in five days. The world's mineral-rich deposits and lava flows have been long exploited, and will likely continue to be for centuries and millennia.

Zvezilva II[]

Zvezilva II is a small planet believed to have been the core of a much larger world in the past. In terms of composition, it is highly similar to Zvezilva IV, but it is too close to the sun to support multicellular life. A number of mining companies have operations on the surface.

Zvezilva III[]

Zvezilva III is a Venusian hothouse 1.2 times the size of Earth. An atmosphere of sulfur and carbon dioxide creates an unpleasant greenhouse effect fueled by volcanoes. Rich silicon, iron, palladium, platinum, nickel, niobium, and zinc deposits on the planet have not been fully exploited as a result of the hostile environment, but a number of mining companies are making steady progress in establishing operations and developing the necessary technology and equipment to do so at a faster pace.

Zvezilva IV[]

Main article: Zvezilva IV

Zvezilva IV is a dry planet with a large iron core. A comet collided with its largest moon, creating a ring system and a subsequent mass extinction millions of years ago. The planet is covered in only 5% water with most of it having seeped into underground oceans. Zvezilva IV is also the home world of the Kr'aszazz, and has a population of around 6 billion.

Zvezilva V[]

Zvezilva V is a hydrogen-helium gas giant with clouds of nitrogen, giving it a purple tint.

Zvezilva VI[]

Zvezilva VI is another standard hydrogen helium gas giant. It has bands of sulfur in its atmosphere giving it yellow stripes.

Mitrovica Field[]

Molten asteroid field between Zvezilva I and Zvezilva II devoid of any useful quantities of mineable materials.
