Ylia Cluster

A cluster of planetoids remnants of a planet that has broken apart inhabited by Giff and Thri-Kreen. There are several Spelljammer docks carved into the planets as well as a large Beholder city. Its the closest point to the Wildspace portal leading to the Astral Sea.

 

Planetoids

Port Lharea. A bustling port build by the Giff and features many cannons and gun towers to protect the docks. Its build around an ancient wreck of an Astral Juggernaut called the Lharea.
The Hollowed Rock. A broken shard of a planet has been hollowed out and has a system of tunnels connecting to the wooden docks on the outside of the structure. Thri-Kreen inhabit the warrens inside.
Brathl An artificial planetoid made from organic materials with pulsing living tunnels leading to chambers within. Beholders can be seen floating around the structure.  

Important Locations

Wrecktown. The ancient wreck of the Lharea has been reclaimed and from its bones a town has sprung up. Most of the houses resemble the outside of a Spelljammer with planks, portholes and railings. Most of the inhabitants are the descendants of the Giff crew of the Lharea.
Lharea Docks. Spelljammer docks have been build around the asteroid of Port Lharea. This is main port for the Spelljammers arriving through the Wildspace portal of Emeraldspace.
The Hive. Inside the warrens of the Hollowed Rock are the chambers of the Thri-Kreen hive that settled this system. They are skilled craftsmen working tirelessly to create goods, weapons and armor from organic material.
The Mothers Cradle. Inside the Beholder enclave of Brathl is a living city made from strange flesh. It's named after the mysterious Mother that all Beholders worship as a Goddess and the creator of their race. Only a few humanoids dare to live here amongst these monstrous creatures.

Geography

Several broken asteroids left over from the broken planet. Some have been connected by bridges to form connections to different parts of town. An air envelope extends from the central asteroid from the wreck of an ancient Astral Juggernaut.

History

Creation
The Creators built the planet Ylia last in the system. A great unknown calamity caused the planet to implode and break apart into asteroids.
Ancient
No life ever formed again on the planet and it was still until the Lharea crashed on one of the asteroids.
Recent
An Astral Juggernaut, a gigantic Spelljammer, crashed into one of the asteroids carrying hundreds of Giff. Not having any way off the rock they started cultivating the land and deconstructed the vessel to build homes. Soon they constructed their first Spelljammers and explored the rest of the system establishing trade relations with the other worlds.

A colony of Thri-Kreen came through the portal from the Astral Sea and settled on a large chunk. They hollowed it out and created warrens where they lived and worked. Soon they became close allies with the Giff providing them alternative building materials and goods.

Last to arrive was the Beholder colony who turned their living ship into a station floating near the asteroids of the Ylia cluster. They have an uneasy relationship with the Giff and Thri-Kreen but trade raw materials with them.
