System Map
System Description
Kharjy is a remote system in the Hexon sector, defined by its vibrant primary world, Yughadir, orbiting the bright F-type star HX-8142. The Yughadir inhabitants are a genetically stable human variant with distinctive blue-tinged skin and pointed ears. Their mutation is a product of unforseen radiation effects on the colonial population. Incorporation into the Unified Planets of Sol ensures that the Yughadir enjoy equal standing, but their unique heritage and culture set them apart in subtler ways. They can be found in all parts of the galaxy.

Background
The Kharjy system, while remote, has drawn attention due to its unique human offshoot species and the rich flora that supports advanced medical research. Over centuries, the Yughadir have cultivated a deep connection to their environment, blending advanced genetic techniques with traditional horticulture. The Unified Planets of Sol see strategic value in the system’s exports, while local factions navigate delicate balances of cultural preservation and resource extraction.
Typical Encounters
Adventure Hooks
- Whispers of the Past: Explorers report faint, holographic markings deep within the Vharin Jungle Grove. Rumor has it these may lead to ancient precursor knowledge—and powerful biotech secrets.
- Smuggler’s Run: Unlicensed traders are dealing in rare Yughadir flora on the black market. The Unified Planets of Sol wants a team to track them down before their genetic treasures leave the system.
- Diplomatic Tensions: With Danube pushing for expanded research facilities and the Yughadir elders resisting further exploitation, mediators are needed to keep the peace and uphold local traditions.
Additional Details
Seasonal radiation shifts affect the growth patterns of Yughadir’s flora. During certain cosmic alignments, plants produce more potent medicinal compounds. This cycle, closely monitored by local botanists, offers lucrative opportunities for trade but also draws in opportunists and corporate interests. The Yughadir hold festivals timed to these cycles.
