A city planet under thirteen moons. Predictable only by computer. The economic heart of Brekk — and the site of Commander Ohe's intelligence operations.
Nightfall is named for its thirteen moons, whose erratic movements make night and day unpredictable without a computer forecast. The city of Yaw sprawls across the most stable region, where day and night cycle between two and twelve hours each. It is Brekk's commercial center: tourists, traders, 51st Legion patrols, and a nightlife industry that takes the eclipse schedule as a design challenge.
The rule: Obelisk station orbits overhead. The 51st Legion has significant presence. Heat doesn't dissipate naturally here.
Scene: Highrises lighting up block by block as the city transitions from day to night in minutes. Night club dancers in black glow-accented outfits spilling onto a sun-lit street. The blue glow of public data kiosks projecting tomorrow's moon schedule.
Campaign relevance: Commander Ohe operates from Obelisk Station above. The xenoarchaeology station with the Anchor is in the subsurface ruins — Dr. Nen's location in Extraction: Voluntary. Isotropa Max Secure orbits nearby.
Key locations:
Obelisk Station — 51st Legion orbital HQ, Commander Ohe's base
Yaw — the main city; everything commercial happens here
The Xenoarchaeology Station — Extraction: Voluntary site, sits above the Anchor node
Isotropa Max Secure — the sector's most notorious prison, orbiting near the star
Dendara — ancient ruin temple on Nightfall's fifth moon, Todav
