Past the edge of known space, far away from Sol, is outer space, the unattended expanse of the stars. Seeing another human vessel here is rare, and contact with unknown aliens is possible, as well as esoteric space phenomena. Stories are uttered at fuel stations and motels of strange creatures, unexplained sounds, ghost vessels and an ever-present feeling of being watched. This is the place where legends and cryptids are born. Welcome to the frontier.

A system with a single planet orbiting a neutron star, a spectacular cold star emitting two jets of uncharged neutrons from its core. The UNS Electron was lost here during a fatal expedition to collect information on said neutron star, and now a single observation station sits at the edge of the system, considered one of the worst roles in the UN given the lack of tasks and the constant blinding light. UN personnel is advised to ignore distress calls from the UNS Electron and to report them to their higher officials.
