Pyro V is a massive yellow and green gas giant that is slowly pulling Pyro IV into its orbit. It is considered a low yield refueling point because of the poor hydrogen mix present in the upper atmosphere.[1]
Natural Satellites
Ignis : Pyro 5a
This innermost moon of Pyro V is covered in deep canyons and dried riverbeds, with a frigid climate and highly toxic atmosphere of sulfur dioxide. Nevertheless, small amounts of oxygen can resupply visitors' air reserve tanks.[2] |
Vatra : Pyro 5b
The thick, high-pressure nitrogen-methane atmosphere of this moon hides are dark and eerie landscape.[3] Plants found here subsist on hydrocarbons rather than carbon dioxide.[4] |
Adir : Pyro 5c
The crater-ridden surface of Adir is interspersed with rocky hills and jagged mountains.[5] |
Fairo : Pyro 5d
Frequent earthquakes rock Fairo, causing spectacular waves in its brackish seas.[6] An unusual ecosystem thrives both on its surface and under the sea.[7] |
Fuego : Pyro 5e
High amounts of iron-sulfide in Fuego's soil turn it a livid shade of yellow-black.[8] In the early 2600s, an infamous smuggler group known as the Headhunters utilized Fuego as a stash point for goods in their nascent years.[9] |
Vuur : Pyro 5f
The carbon-rich soil and warmer than usual atmosphere of Vuur supports unique forms of plant life that use crystalline carbon in their base structures.[10] This plant life was once a popular subject of research among botanists until outlaws took over the system.[11] |
Pyro IV
Astronomers theorize that in the distant past, Pyro IV collided with a planet-sized body, warping the landscape and knocking it into the orbit of Pyro V.[12] A new atmosphere has since formed, though the planet is constrained to a long, slow collision course with Pyro V and is expected to one day crash into the gas giant or transform into planetary rings.[13] |
Lagrangian points
All of Pyro V's lagrangian points are host to a former Pyrotechnic Amalgamated space station.
