Planet: Orin
Table of Contents [hide]

Orin is a scorching hot volcano planet, located in the Bespin system in the Javin sector. The planet is one of three found in Velser’s Ring, an asteroid belt that happens to contain three planets. The other two planets are Bespin as well as Miser. This planet, which comes through the asteroid belt twice during its yearly cycle, is covered in volcanoes, as well as many craters as a result of traveling through Velser’s Ring.

The planet itself is incredibly hot, even where there are no volcanoes. The ground is over 500 degrees Celsius making it extremely inhospitable. The volcanoes also erupt almost permanently, causing the atmosphere of this planet to be thick with soot and poisonous vapors. The rivers of volcanoes located on this planet are enough that no life can enter the atmosphere without expensive protective equipment.

It is rumored that the adventurer Richard Velser, whom Velser’s Ring is named after, perished on this planet. Several thousand years ago, while experimenting with faster hyperdrives, he discovered this system. However, after exploring Miser and Bespin, he sent out one last message of his findings and mentioned that he would be continuing on to Orin. Unfortunately, this Duros explorer was never heard from again. Some blame the problem on mechanical failure, however, most seemed to have thought it was due to the hazardous environment. No ship was found, not even in the asteroid fields, and it is believed that he perished on the planet itself. The mystery of Richard Velser was told for generations until being all but forgotten, and no one will ever know what happened to him.

The planet itself is a vast plain of rock dotted with impact craters that only appear in the southern hemisphere. Experts say that this is because part of the planet emits a magnetic field that is stronger than the rest of the planet, thus repelling metallic meteorites. Unfortunately, this does not prevent the massive volcanoes to come up from underground, flooding the planet with molten rock.
