Blackshear (Planet)

Blackshear is the first of seven planets in the Novak System. A hot Mercurian planet, when Humans first colonized the system they discovered an extensive series of labyrinthian tunnels beneath the crust, and unnatural power signatures could be detected from near the planet's core. Before official surveys of the uninhabitable planet could be made, however, an unusual series of solar flairs catastrophically melted the surface of the planet, making exposure to the surface of the planet radioactive and deadly to most races.
