Pha'ka

Pha'ka was a moon of Alimus in the Alimus system. The moon contained no settlements except for a tioric gas mining facility ran by the Perlund family. The moon was colloquially known as The Witch's Moon by the people of Alimus.  

History

When the Perlund Mining Company was first prospecting on Athann, they discovered a tioric gas deposit but their acess was blocked by a group of colonists who had settled their. Foreman Terra Perlund attempted to pay the colonists to move, however, the colony elder refused. The elder warned the miners that they did not have a connection to the moon and that it would fight back against their mining. Perlund did not listen to the warning and they forcibly took the land. Many of the colonists that refused to leave ended up working for the company, including the elder.   Once the facility was built and mining began, miners began contracting an unknown infection. The only ones not affected appeared to be the original colonists. After months, many were violently ill and Perlund went to the elder to accuse her of poisoning the workers. The elder denied any involvement repeating that the moon itself had not taken kindly to their presence. The elder did claim to be able to cure the afflicted if Perlund released her people. The foreman only agreed once she herself had shown symptoms, the colonists were released and ferried off-moon and the foreman came to the elder.   The elder led the foreman into the mines and further into the natural caverns, to a place dimly lit by bioluminescence where volcanic activity caused steam to issue from an underground pool. Protruding from the centre of the pool was a giant plant. The elder explained that the plant was the cause of the illness. In concentration, the plant's pollen was toxic to lifeforms and digging had unleashed it onto the miners. The plant was also the source of a particular type of local flora. A flora the colonists had been eating which gave their bodies a better chance of fighting the illness.   This story was passed down and retold by each generation of Perlund foreman.
