The Pyro system is a dangerous and mostly anarchic system characterized by an unstable flare star. Originally claimed in 2493 by Pyrotechnic Amalgamated for its lucrative mining sites, the intense solar flares caused the company to abandon the system in 2563 after extracting most precious metals from its planets. Since then, independent organizations, pioneer settlers, and pirate gangs such as the Headhunters, Fire Rats, Rough & Ready, and XenoThreat have made the system their home. No central governing authority controls the system. Instead, competing gangs rule over ever-changing sectors of control between rival clans. The general rule cited by residents is: "whoever has the most guns wins."
Orbiting very close to Pyro's volatile star, this planet of a silicate crust has high atmospheric pressure and even higher temperatures. Despite powerful winds and frequent lightning strikes, there is yet an ecosystem of plants and animals that endure the environment.
The coreless Monox, nicknamed for the toxic carbon monoxide in its part-oxygen atmosphere, bears the scars of old mining operations. Despite its temperate climate, the planet couldn't be cleared for terraformation due to its proximity to the volatile Pyro star. Outlaws took up residence in the 26th century.
This icy terrestrial world has a naturally breathable atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen and has been overrun by outlaws. Pyrotechnic Amalgamated and other corporations made an epicenter of mining operations out of this planet. Squatters, outlaws, and former miners came when mining operations ceased in the 26th century.
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. A new atmosphere has since formed, though the planet is constrained to a long, slow collision course with Pyro V.
The largest planet in the Pyro system, Pyro V has a striking atmosphere swirled with shades of green and yellow. Residents and travelers of Pyro are known to harvest hydrogen from the atmosphere.
Terminus is a frigid, barely-habitable planet with a methane-laced atmosphere. Although having enough nitrogen and oxygen to be breathable, prolonged exposure is known to have a negative effect on health. In its orbit, Ruin Station, the former Pyrotechnic Amalgamated main hub of operations, is home to multiple gangs.
