Dice Funk Season 5 Locations
MARKOV: The titular star at the center of the Markov System. A relatively young star compared to Sol.
FERMAT: An incredibly small, dense planet with a variety of heavy metals, Fermat would be a valuable mining location if it had a meaningful atmosphere. Without a shield from the dangerous elements of space, the surface is constantly bombarded by a stream of deadly meteorites and irritated by the ceaseless rays of the sun.
HYPATIA: Once a barren, lifeless rock, Hypatia was terraformed by the Earth corporation Valamin Aeronautics. It now serves as a nature preserve. Of special note is its collection of endangered megafauna—creatures so huge and dangerous that they were quarantined here as an alternative to erasing them from existence entirely.
GLORIA: The sole planet in Markov’s circumstellar habitable zone, Gloria is tidally locked to its star. One side always faces the sun, while the other side always faces the void of space, creating an ecosystem with even more diversity than Earth. The twilight zone or “terminator” where the two sides meet is of significant astrological interest, as it contains phenomena such as burning hail. The Earth embassy where adventurers from Sol conduct business is in the nation of APOLLONIUS. Home of the system’s dominant species--the Solitaire—as well as a large Giff population.
DRIFT PARK: A Solitaire space station which once served as an amusement park. After the latest Illithid War it was assaulted and captured by the Earth supremacist group Invicta. They currently use it as a base of operations.
PELL: A gas giant of unimaginable size and crushing pressure. Entering its gravity well is certain death.
PELL-1: Uninhabited and of no significant value.
PELL-2: Uninhabited and of no significant value.
PELL-3: The only inhabited moon of Pell. Although the other two are similar in composition, the gargantuan corpses of some unknown alien species dot the landscape and are utilized for seemingly limitless reservoirs of energy. The Caravella Family runs the de facto government of the notable cities, such as Drake City. Home to the most concentrated population of Neogi in Markov.
