Veilspace by Jordan Carmichael - A dead god lies in pieces¸ the surviving angels dare not speak of why. Many come to the system in search of lost relics of exceptional power.
Wellspace by Aaryan Balu - A wormhole holds several bodies and vast riches in its pull¸ spacetime itself warping the closer you get. Few have dared venture deep into the system¸ those who have scarcely survive.
Xunderspace by Matthew Campbell - In the light of a cold dwarf star lie ginormous abandoned shipyards. A few rich clients still visit for bespoke ships¸ while pirates lurk at the fringes of the system.
