The HGU (Human Galactic Union) commissions artistic renditions of systems with a working or living population, or are otherwise significant, for teaching and training purposes.

This poster is up some wall of a building in the repair outpost Takalik works at. Its old, worn, and has definitely seen better days. It depicts the system that outpost resides in, TES-203461. Despite the moon they work on being officially known as TES-203461b-I, They've affectionately come to know the outpost and the moon overall as "The Chop Shop". Here, someone has recently scribbled out the official name with a red marker and done a few doodles representing the species working at the station. They've drawn a human, Tusk, and fuzzworm. There isn't an Oraselk.

Someone has used their thumbnail to emboss the fuzzworm into the poster. They wouldn't be able to see the marker because they see with echolocation. Its definitely not deep enough for them to see or notice at that scale, but t'was a valiant effort.

TES-203461b-I is about 2.5 times larger than Earth's moon. It orbits its parent gas giant about once every 13 days. It also takes about that amount of time to rotate as well, so its tidally locked to the gas giant like most large jovian moons.

The system's sun is of spectral type F8.7V. The outpost mostly just ignores the rise and set of the sun, since it can disappear for days at a time before the moon emerges from behind TES-203461b. Its actually ideal because they can accommodate the natural cycles of the species there more easily by shrouding or letting in the light when the sun is up and using artificial lighting when its not.

TES-203461b-II is home to a warp gateway (Not visualized, my bad) that can be used to quickly get to the outpost and back. It is also separately staffed.

Escape to Mars?

The ultrarich are planning their exit from a dying planet. Christian apocalyptic theology has a different ending in mind.
