Jina

Jina is the Kua system’s second planet counting from the star. The route between the portals and both the planet Kua and Coriolis pass by Jina, but few ships ever stop here. The planet’s industry is not big enough to attract traders or transports. There are no spaceships permanently stationed in the settlement of Aram’s Ravine either. The Colonial Agency keeps a few ground vehicles, but nothing that can leave the planet. To contact the outside world, the inhabitants have to rely on free traders or other ships which come to the planet to visit the Cala Duriha, a luxury space station on Jina’s moon.

Aram's Ravine

Aram’s Ravine is the only colony on Jina, located near the Lamka plateau north of the equator, where a natural body of water is present. The colony is the hub for everyone working the claims along the plateau’s fault line or the salt pits in the Desera delta. Aram’s Ravine started out as just one of the hundreds of prospecting endeavors that the Colonial Agency started in the Kua system. Like the majority of those projects, Aram’s Ravine turned out to be a disappointment – the bauxite findings were bigger on other planets and Jina’s toxic air made even small-scale mining expensive. The colonists that remained in Aram’s did so against their better judgment, clinging to a desperate hope that the place would somehow deliver what they had been promised.

Cala Duriha

The moon Cala Duriha has blossomed thanks to its strategic location and the fact that Coriolis and the Council have become key players in the politics of the Horizon. The station’s wide domes and panoramic windows make it look like a water lily on the surface of the moon, with its heart burrowed deep inside the rock-like roots. The station started out as a dirty mining colony, and exactly how it has been able to transform itself into a luxury resort is debated both in the free trader cantinas out in the Rimward Reach and in the halls of power on Coriolis.
