System Location and Route details
The Svard system lays Trailing of Footfall somewhere near the Cauldron. With Navigation routes created by Siegmund Lohardugga Praxiteles Da Camalann, the Rout from footfall to Svard is a mere nine days. From Svard to Sharona, Siegmund Lohardugga Praxiteles Da Camalann's charts make a simple three day voyage. And routes to Kyress are five days.
System Overview
The Svard system is centered upon an Ancient and bloated red star. Most of the Svard system has been reduced to rubble and asteroids fields and dust clouds, However one single Planet remains. Dubbed Svard Prime, this massive gas giant sits on the very edge of the systems bio-zone. Svard prime, much like the rest of the system is dying, it may take several millinna however as the planet bleeds out into space. This boiling "storm" of planetary atmosphere floods the area around Svards Prime with charged partials and heavy vapors. Engulfing many of the moons in a spectacular cloud of Red,white and yellow. This "storm" is also very profitable, making gas mining easy and the finished product of high quality.
Svard Prime has seven objects in orbit.
Svard I: An Icy dwarf planet of breathable type I atmosphere.
Svard II: A smaller dwarf planet. Breathable type II atmosphere ( Rebreathers suggested), Native moss like flora, geothermal activity makes Svard II much warmer then SVard I
Svard III: Lifeless Asteroid trapped in Svard Primes gravity. Survey indicates low or no desirable ore content.
Svard IV: Lifeless Asteroid. Trapped in Svard Primes gravity Survey shows high reading of Iron and copper ore.
Svard V: Small Moon. No Atmosphere, high gravity. mineralogical surveys look promising.
Svard VI: Medium sized Moon, Type V atmosphere, extremely hazardous.
Svard VII: Lifeless Asteroid trapped in Svard Primes gravity. Survey shows high iron content and large Crystal growths
History
The Original Exploration and Survey of the Svard system occurred in 371. M38 by Siegmund Lohardugga Praxiteles Da Camalann. Who was at that time the holder of the Da Camalann warrant of trade. Seeing the profit within the system Siegmund established a colony Upon Svard I in 374.M38. The Svard system continued to produce profit for the Da Camalann dynasty until contact was lost in 524.M41. The main exports for the Svard system were Promethium,ore and unique Crystal that only grows upon Svard VII. Below is a list of the system as it stood before lose of contact in 524.M41
System Detail
Svard I: Capital of the system, It was chosen as such as it rides the outer Edge of the storm, allowing docking without having to navigate the storm itself. The fact it also had a breathable if cold Atmosphere helped. Besides being the main port in the system Svard I also maintained the systems Cargo and fuel haulers. Inventory shows at last count the fleet stood at 32 System ships. Svard I also controlled the inner system mining operations. This operation consist of no less then eight massive mining ships. As the Capital of the system Svard I was also the most populated with thirty-seven million people living within three hives across the frozen surface. These Hives are named,Davoess and Tavlin
Svard II: Named Cog, Svard II became the Svard systems Industrial complex. The moon has but one massive factory mounted upon tracks and moves across the surface, leaving toxic waste in its wake. What ever native flora once existed here is long dead and the Type II atmosphere has became a type III due to the waste emissions. Breathing gear is required. At last contact Cog was lead by a small cadre of tech-priests under Magos Tevla and had a Population of three hundred thousand. At lest half of those being Sevitors.
Svard III: Known as Silence, Svard III is the home to a small dedicated group of sculptors whose goal seems to be crafted a perfect replica of each of the blessed saints. At last point of contact this community was a single domed colony. Records show the population to be forty-seven hundred.
Installation 23: This station was Constructed in system from ore mined from the Svard system itself. Installation 23 is the Svard systems Promethium Refinery it produced high grade promethium, which netted the Dynasty a tidy profit. Installation 23 contained docking bays ans crew of fifty-thousand .
Svard IV: This asteroid was heavily mined for ore sitting deep within the storm. By M41 it had been mined out and left a hallowed rock. Svard IV was later modified into a repair and refueling port for system gas mining ships. At last report Svarn IV or "Glory" as it came to be called contained at lest three active colonies each controlling a full docking and repair facility. Population was six hundred and fifty thousand.
Svard V: Named Blecker's moon, Svard V was converted into a mining colony. Much like cog it was a heavily industrialized, Blecker's moon handled the excess ore smelting. It also contained two docks and a population of five million spread across six domes by M41.It should be noted that reports show the moon was far from mined out and produced high grade ore.
Svard VI: Named Hazard, Svard VI was near useless as a colony due to its toxic environment. It also held little in the way of mineralogical wealth. It was converted into a penal colony in M39. None of the building lay upon Hazards surface, all being underground to protect from the toxic storm that often sweep across the moon. At last Report Hazard held twenty-nine hundred souls.
Svard VII: Named Callose, Svard VII much like Svard Iv was heavily mined. Most of this asteroid was hollow by M41. However the crystal formation native to Callose did interest many colonists. At last report Callose have several thriving communities of craftmen and wealthy system nobles. Population was estimated at three million.
Primeus station: Primeus Station did not sit in the gravity well of Svard Prime at all, but closer to the systems sun. The station sit in what would be the systems sixth orbit. Sitting upon a seven kilometer long asteroid, Primeus is the primary ore refinery within the system. Servicing the systems Eight mining ships as a unloading point. It held six docks and a crew of twenty -seven hundred at last report.
The Rock of Bhaal: This Station was a free standing community of free miners and traders with in the Svard system. It lay upon a small group of Asteroids, held together by reinforced beams. It lay between the Orbit of Svard Prime and Primeus Station. It was often used as a stopping point for in system cargo haulers. Population was unknown at the time of last contact.
