Green II Weapon Facility

A large ancient facility on the planet Green II.

For unknown reasons, the whole area has a somewhat 'suspicious' air around it, even more so than the rest of the Green System. Green electrical energy discharges are also seen commonly in the area, and behaves similar to the sparks seen near the Starchaser Ruin. If the exotic ancient metal is hit with the discharges, it will glow green for a short period of time before reverting to its 'ground' default state.

This structure is in far better condition than the Starchaser Ruin, but it is not fully mapped yet because anyone that enters will almost always become scared of the area for unknown reasons. Perhaps it is an ancient defence mechanism against foreign invasions and infiltrations. One theory suggests that there is a Ghost Tether inside the structure, and the ghosts demand everyone who visits the structure to keep their existence secret. One key flaw with this theory is that almost all individuals make it out, and those who don't are recorded. If the ghosts have intervened, there would be no recording. Others think that this is the ultimate location to figure out the history of these ancient beings who are no longer found in the Green system, for yet unknown reasons. This is in spite of its comparatively small size.

What little of the structure that is explored, though, is in far better condition than other ancient structures, likely because it was built on the interior surface of Green II where there is little weather, and a number of ancient alien projects have been found in the structure itself. It is yet unknown if the structure still functions, and its intended function is also unknown. This sometimes captures the curiosity of some outside observers despite its terrifying nature in person. 

If the Hyperion Federation can find out why the scientists become terrified just by walking into the structure, it would surely become far easier to explore and discover all its secrets. Or perhaps it will only raise more questions than answered. Some critisise these efforts, saying that 'the secrets here are obviously dangerous and we should let them lie'. 

(No one currently alive knows this, but the facility was a secret weapon development facility. There is no ghost tether, and people get scared due to interference from the projects, which cause them to feel fear and want to escape. This was to keep the project secret and prevent espionage. Those working on the projects would wear helmets that would protect them from this interference.)
