Vita Fifteen

A distant star system far removed from Earth's familiar coordinates, Vita Fifteen exists beyond the navigational charts of human star charts, its location known only to those who have traveled its path. The system's outermost planet bears the scars of an ancient industrial civilization, its surface scarred by strip-mining operations that consumed its natural resources centuries ago. The sky here hangs perpetually dim, lit only by the faint glow of a dying red giant and the scattered embers of long-dead nuclear furnaces. Its gravity wells still pull at passing ships with invisible tendrils, a reminder of its once-great industrial might now reduced to a cautionary footnote in galactic history. The air, if breathable at all, carries the metallic tang of old machinery and the faint hum of residual radiation.
