Planetary Details:
GL408 is a late sequence red giant star that has likely consumed its inner planets leaving only a gas giant 408A and the small rocky planetoid 408B nicknamed Banshee.
Banshee is an uncomfortably hot dust ball in the early stages of terraforming, the initial survey found evidence of considerable mineral deposits and a CO2 heavy atmosphere suitable for atmospheric processing.
Nicknamed Banshee by the first colonists due to the everpresent screaming winds the colony has been marred by serious mismanagement, due to the troubled politics of the Tarterus sector and the waning profits of Seegson the station has changed ownership repeatedly eventually coming under wontrol of Weyland-Yutani.
The terraforming is over a decade behind schedule, the air barely breathable without CO2 filters and only a handful of mines are currently in operation.
Realised I never shared this one,
Created for my first Alien Campaign I wanted to create a run down isolated little world somewhere stalled by mismanagement and corporate greed.
