GM Twin Star system PYRAKXIS DUALIS

System Classification:

  • Astronomic Type: Twin-star binary system
  • Stellar Composition:
    • PYRAKXIS MAJOR – G-type main-sequence star (similar to Sol), stable but under tidal stress
    • PYRAKXIS SECONDUS – Highly energetic pulsar (neutron star), emitting regular electromagnetic and gravitational bursts
  • System Stability: Low
  • Primary Orbital Bodies: None (All former planets destroyed or reduced to asteroid fields)

Current State of the System

Pyrakxis Dualis is a stellar graveyard. Once a fertile system with multiple planets, its inner configuration was violently disrupted during the collapse and reformation of Pyrakxis Secondus, now a gravitationally ravenous pulsar. The immense tidal forces, coupled with directed bursts of radiation and spin-field emissions, shattered the inner planets over millennia.

The result is:

  • Chaotic asteroid fields in dynamic, unpredictable orbits
  • Severe radiation zones pulsing from Secondus in rhythmic arcs
  • Gravitational eddies strong enough to twist augur readings, destabilize voidcraft systems, or crush vessels outright

Mandeville Points & Warp Navigation

Despite its hazards, Pyrakxis Dualis has two stable Mandeville points—likely a result of the counterbalancing tidal forces of the twin stars. These warp translation points are:

  1. Pyrakxis Aegis Point (outer dark boundary)
  2. Silent Wake (far behind the orbital arc of the pulsar)

Both are highly valued by voidfarers, as they are among the few warp entry points in the sector not saturated by empyrean interference. However, the real danger lies in crossing the system itself.

Void Travel Warnings

Void navigation within Pyrakxis Dualis is considered “black zone” tier by the Adeptus Mechanicus, due to:

  • EM pulses from the pulsar disabling cogitators, auspex, and Geller field harmonics
  • Random gravitic surges capable of tearing ships from stable orbits
  • Meteor vectors shifting unpredictably due to the system’s chaotic gravity soup
  • Debris from former planets moving at hypersonic velocities, forming what’s known as the Shattered Ring

Notable Phenomena:

  • “Radiant Requiem” – A predictable, system-wide pulse of radiation every 8.4 standard hours
  • “The Blind Corridor” – A briefly navigable route between the stars, safe for approximately 2 hours every 2 days
