A detailed report was sent to the ship’s corporate owners and eventual namesake, Pyrotechnic Amalgamated, but no action was taken. In 2469, the watch officer of the Roustabout, an Earth-flagged tanker ship moving through the Cano System, noted an anomaly thirty thousand kilometers off the transport’s port bow. The system was first visited in 2493, twenty-four years after the first person suspected something was there. Curious astrobiologists have examined the plants and animals that survive on the planets in Pyro’s fluctuating green band and have found that they possess high resistance to radiation and astonishing tolerance to temperature vacillations. This flare star has created strange environments on each of these planets and, in some cases, stranger life. The Pyro System consists of six worlds that orbit a variable type-K main sequence star with unpredictable solar flares. Instead, opposing packs constantly struggle for control. Like Spider, Pyro is a case of pirates filling (and expanding upon) a void left when the system was abandoned by civilized developers unlike Spider, Pyro’s station has not settled into an orderly system of black market commerce. A system ravaged by a flare star, Pyro is most notably the home of the shared pirate outpost of Ruin Station. If Spider is the face of piracy in the galaxy, Pyro is unquestionably the beating heart.
