An Improbably Comprehensive Guide to Thesystem
Congratulations Traveller! You’ve selected Thesystem as your next holiday destination—a choice that screams, "I adore chaos!" For those brave souls willing to venture into a place where science meets sorcery, and the plant life is downright murderous, here’s what you absolutely must know before you zip up your space boots and teleport out.
Thesystem is a stellar system made up of a single star, two planets and four habitable (by most definitions) moons.
Star: Pau Liua, the Blue Mother 2
Planet 1: Ptolemy
Moon 1: Noom
Planet 2: Gravitas
Moon 2: Flakmaw
Moon 3: Oxydia
Moon 4: U70p14
Techno-Magocracy: With a casual flick of the wand replacing the need for button-pressing, the new techno-magocracy views traditional tech as quaint. Here, be ready to upgrade your calculators to crystal balls.
Thanks to the latest in spell-tech and nano-magics you’ll find both flying citadels and deep underground civilizations as equally viable destinations. Just don’t ask how things work, unless you've got a couple of hours and a high tolerance for phrases like "quantum enchantments."
<aside> 💡 Learn a few basic spells. It’s not just useful—it’s a great party trick.

Metal Rot: In Thesystem, metal rot can reduce your spaceship to a pile of cosmic dust faster than you can say "oxidation". If your ship starts to resemble Swiss cheese, it's probably time to leave.
<aside> ⚠️ Rustproofing: Treat all metals with skepticism and a good enchantment. Or better yet, stick to plastics.

Violent Plant Life: It's not uncommon to find yourself in a tug-of-war with a vine over your favorite hat (or limb). A stroll through the gardens here can be less 'a walk in the park', and more 'a sprint for your life'.
Utopian Dreams: There's a legendary perfect place rumored to exist somewhere in the system, flush with resources and devoid of violent flora. Most locals will scoff at this, but they might be trying to keep the paradise to themselves.
