The Pyro System's six planets are subject to irregular bursts of scorching heat and dangerous radiation thanks to the flare star at its center. Upon its discovery in 2493, any valuable minerals were quickly mined. An orbital platform, originally built by Pyrotechnic Amalgamated to serve as a hub for their operations in the system, was only in use by the company for a short time before it was abandoned. Since then, the platform has become a refuge for black market traders and warring pirate gangs and is known as Ruin Station.
