Northsun

 

Northsun is a planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star.  The system lies in the Camelopardalis Constellation of the Segin Region.

 
The sprawling, desert, primary world of the Northsun System was looked at as a terraforming project by the nearby worlds in the Segin Region.  A number of atmosphere factories were built on the surface with the idea of adding oxygen into the atmosphere.  Though the plans were never finished due to rising costs, the factories have since sat abandoned.

 

Far from anything considered a paradise, the primary planet's surface is an endless, dry, desert stretching across the planet.  Warm winds blow constantly, always pummeling the planet's few enclosed cities.
