Urania-76 [COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS “THE CLVSTER”] is an accumulation of asteroids and defunct space vessels, artificially adjusted to the same velocity and orbit around an unremarkable parent star. Prospectors and washed-up criminals dwell in a handful of run-down settlements and hideouts. Various mining infrastructures (in use and defunct) dot the CLVSTER. In the past, freighters regularly visited Urania-76, buying up mined ores and dropping off fugitives. Those who seek the CLVSTER have good reasons never to be found. It is the final stop in many people’s life journey. Most recently, connection with Urania-76 has been lost. A dense gas or accumulation of ultrafine particulate matter [dust] has enveloped and engulfed the region [THE CLOUD]. No signal passes into or out of the Cloud, or at least that is what those in the know assume. All attempts at communication have been left unanswered. Furthermore, no scanners can penetrate to probe and analyze; no radiation (but most useless infrared) escapes Urania-76.
