Nu Paqralor I

Nu Paqralor I Is a large, barren planet of the Nu Paqralor System.   Due to being closest to the neutron star, the nebula of this system has its highest kinetic energy at this world. This is powerful enough to result in penetrating the magnetosphere easily and reach the surface. This causes the planet to heat up significantly more than what would be expected for most neutron star worlds, giving it a surface temperature of roughly -40C. This can be considered habitable to some species, if it wasnt for the entirely stripped atmosphere and intense gravity. Due to the hydrogen gas reacting witht he surface, a lot of the materials on the world have a hydrogen content, which makes it possible to extract fusion reactor fuel from the metal ore of the planet and the rock that comprises it. The hydrogen does make the rock comparitively weak, which makes it easier to mine.   No faction owns the star system, but the system would prove valuable if one faction did claim it. The hydrogen storms also cause it to lose energy and fall to lower orbit altitudes slowly over time, theoretically eventually causing it to collide with the neutron star and be completely destroyed. This has not happened yet and is not likely to happen within several thousand years, so it might be exploited by some factions in the future after they have expanded and logistical costs are reduced. It has been surveyed by some factions however. These have taken pictures of the planet, and it is often deemed quite pretty by many organics that view it. Its large size causes it to have a high gravity and be incredibly rich in materials. Its core is entirely inactive however as the hydrogen heats up only a part of he surface, and very little heat reaches the core.
