Vax'bakrud

Uninhabited Planets

Virid

Virid is a small, uninhabited planet, around 5123km in diameter. In fact, it's the only planet in the system and only natural object in orbit around Vax'bakrud.

It is too hot to establish any pertinent colonies there, however, there are several power generation factories, as well as stellar weather stations which act as an early warning system for The Bektep Space Station in the event of particularly violent or dangerous solar flares. all these factories and weather stations are completely automated, and drones from the space station are sent regularly to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Space Stations

Most space stations need something to anchor to, but The Bektep Space Station is not the only station in this system. This is because Bektep is exceptionally old, and other, smaller stations needed to be built to help support it initially, as the technology available to the Kepek at the time of it's construction was not as sophisticated as it is now.

Vax'bakrud Alpha-station

In modern times, The Alpha Station is mostly unused, at least officially. It still helps to boost signals for stellar weather warnings back to The Bektep Space Station faster and acts as a teleportation relay, but other than that, it has really only been kept in its orbit to provide an emergency fuel stop for lost ships.

Vax'Bakrud Beta-station

The Vax'bakrud Beta Station is one of 2 signal relays and fuel stations for ships and drones sent to Virid. unlike the Alpha Station, however, the Beta station is still in use, though for very different reasons. It has since become a kind of secondary dock for when The Bektep Space Station can't have any more ships in the docking bay, and has become a tourist attraction all it's own, with attractions like The Lost Stellar Zoo and Gardens - a place for creatures who, like the Kepek, originate from planets that were destroyed or are no longer suitable for life.

The Bektep Space Station

The Bektep Space Station is the capital of the Kepek Commonwealth. The station is one of the biggest non-natural structures in the galaxy, with its largest ring having a 200,000km diameter.
