Mote is a small, dense world located beyond the Corporate Cluster border.

When it was rediscovered, Mote was found to be of little interest. Whether due to malfunctioning sensors or sheer incompetence, scans indicated little in the way of exploitable resources, and trade with the somewhat xenophobic natives wasn’t seriously considered. The little planet was subsequently classified nonessential and left alone by mutual agreement between the Corporations.

Until now.

Recent deep scans refuted the initial surveys. The new scans indicated an abundance of useful minerals and ores, making Mote is one of the most interesting planets in the sector. However, several expeditions have gone missing, with local wildlife being the prime suspect. The recent reports indicate energy bursts of unknown origin coming from unexplored lands near the mining colony.
