Quick facts:Oretani system
2485 (system lost)
The Oretani system was one of many systems discovered during the rapid expansion era of the 25th century. The surveyors noticed nothing in the system's six worlds of immediate importance. Just a single planet seemed to be a viable candidate for terraforming.
Turiya Terraforming, the terraforming corp that won the bid, sent a team of over two thousand workers and their families into the system.[1] After an expansive advertising campaign, the company attracted thousands of workers to the Oretani system and began work in 2483. In 2485, amidst rumors of food shortages on the space stations and a sense of unrest among the workers at the lack of available land on Oretani II, Bratanek invited reporters to tour operations in Oretani. Two days later, the Ferron-Oretani jump point suddenly collapsed, cutting everyone inside the system off from the rest of the UNE.to start processing when the only jump point into the system collapsed. Scientists scrambled to figure out a solution, but it was the first time an incident like this had occurred.[2]
As years stretched into decades, people studied the area around the former jump point, hoping for a sign that it had reopened, but after time they gave up. After all this time, the fate of Oretani is only ever debated among a small number of historians. Most believe that without support, the initial terraformers probably died out, but no one really knows what to expect on the other side if that jump point ever reopens.[3]
Gravitational governors
Oretani
Oretani is a K-type main sequence star.
Planets
Oretani I
Oretani I is a mesoplanet.
Oretani II
A large non-oxygen ocean world, Oretani II was immediately cleared for terraforming.
Oretani III
Surveyors had been in the process of analysing this ice world as a potential terraforming candidate.
Oretani IV
The thick, expansive atmosphere is composed of hydrogen and helium.
Oretani V
The largest planet in the system, it is also believed to be the oldest.
Oretani VI
A dwarf planet on a lonely orbit around the edge of the system.
Asteroid belts
Oretani Belt Alpha
A line of large asteroids that were believed to be mineral-rich. The jump point collapsed before mining could begin.
Known jump points
There are no known jump points to or from Oretani.
