Maad System

Template:Planetary-System The Maad system located on the north-western edge of the Hapan Rim Worlds in relative close proximity to the Terephon and Roqoo systems. It was discovered in 3462 during the Third Expansion Era, but not settled until 3966 during the Dark Age. The system is named for its purple-black protostar Maad, and is essentially a pocket inside the areas of the Transitory Mists known as Rivved Space. While close to the Hapan Spine, the system is only accessible at low sublight speeds through the hazardous passage known as the Throat. Due to the hazardous journey that must be undertaken to reach the system, coupled with the inhospitable conditions on its worlds, the Maad system has seen very few attempts at settlement and development in the centuries since its discovery.
