A lifeless, rocky world orbiting a yellow dwarf mainsequence
star called Vose 303, Jedarat is the site of
a joint environmental project sponsored by AbadarCorp, the
Xenowardens, and a start-up company called New Horizons
Luxury Retreats. In its natural state, Jedarat is bone-chillingly cold,
lacks an atmosphere thick enough to support most humanoids,
and seems uninhabited. Yet, with minor scientific effort, the planet
is poised to become a pristine, snow-capped vacation resort-world
that investors hope will attract tourists as well as settlers.
Currently, the scientists and xenodruids stationed on the
planet work toward that very goal. At Jedarat’s poles, city-sized
atmospheric conversion modules transform the polar ice caps
into gases pumped high into the sky, thickening the atmosphere
and warming the planet. Vast microbial mats—the abiogenesis
of native life on Jedarat—spread across the land
between shallow but growing seas.
The scientists overseeing the
project’s progress have discovered
the existence of some previously
unknown alien ruins situated
in the planet’s most remote
corners. As various factions
scramble to mount their own
archaeological expeditions,
the project’s investors have
already begun some early
exploratory forays into the
ruins. Ever eager for new
opportunities to turn a profit,
the investors are spinning myriad
plans for incorporating the ancient
ruins into the planet’s future
holiday amenities.
