Icarus is a planet in the Cyrannus Star System orbiting the star Helios Alpha. Icarus is the first planet of its star and has an exceptionally close orbit around it, causing its surface to be composed of mostly molten metal. Historically, this planet was ignored by the Colonials, as exploration or any mining was impractical thanks to the conditions on the surface.[1] It can also be presumed that Icarus was not suitable to be kobolformed,[Term 1] as even Taurons, known for their off-world mining prowess were uninterested in this planet.

Behind the scenes[]

Glossary[]

  1. Kobolforming is the process of altering a planet, moon, or other celestial body to make it more Kobol-like, enabling it to support human life.
