This is the Cradle of the Alliance, the system that the Arrivals first reached at the start of the 49th Epoch. This system is the origin system for both the Lashunta and the Kasatha, along with a host of other species.
This barren rock sits near the centre of the system, orbiting the huge red sun that has stripped the rock of its atmosphere and dried up any water it may have once had. Nothing lives here, nothing except the howling silence makes noise.
Whilst no life originated on this planet as it was too close to the sun to be habitable. It was the first planet that the Lashunta's colonised after leaving their home world. The Lashunta's correctly assumed that, whilst the surface was too hot and the atmosphere was filled with toxic gas, they could hollow out the planet over thousands of years and now this hollow world is considered a huge achievement by the species.
The home planet of the Lashunta, whilst there are polar caps on the planet, the majority of the planet is covered in dense rainforest. The Formians also originate from the south of the planet. As the Formians spread across the planet the Lashunta built towers and later roads and walkways above the treeline.
Orginally a colony ship from Andersile, the origin planet for Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and the other 'legacy' species. Between 0 PA and 4 PA the ship was retrofitted into a space station and pushed into orbit around the sun. It is also the only place in the Alliance where Androids are allowed to live, both their home and their prison. The station looks like a giant wheel with an outer ring and a centre with seven spokes connecting the two.
