While the “dying star” moniker given to the level is technically not accurate, the system’s dramatic solar flares are a memorable and ideal location for Arena Commander’s designers to show off how interesting 3D space combat can be! Pyro I In addition to its development as a center of organized piracy, Pyro is also a household name in the UEE today because it served as inspiration for one of Original Systems’ Arena Commander levels. This survey simply noted the overall disarray of the planetary system, the difficulty of finding transportable resources and the unlikelihood of successfully terraforming anything there. They dispatched an explorer to the region only to formally discover Pyro and chart its environs. Twenty-four years later, when Pyrotechnic was seeking new mining territories, they began reviewing old scan records when it noted the original report from the Roustabout. 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 a gravitic anomaly thirty thousand kilometres off the transport’s port bow. The system was first visited in 2493, twenty-four years after the first person suspected something was there. It seems that the first signs of life to ever present in the system were brought there through its jump points. Curious astrobiologists even examined the planets in Pyro’s fluctuating green band and have thus far found no evidence of indigenous life forms. This flare star has stopped any chance of life developing in the system. The Pyro System consists of six worlds held hostage by a variable type-M 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. An otherwise desolate, lifeless star system crippled 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.
