Planetary Cluster (Class M Worlds)

Class M Planets, Hromi Cluster

Charted but unvisited, the Class M planets in the Hromi Cluster register as pale schematic blips on tactical displays — habitable worlds Data flags as plausible Gatherer encampment sites. Their surfaces remain unknown, offering the promise of shelter and the menace of concealment. The cluster compresses diplomatic uncertainty into urgent operational choice: coordinates harden into potential battlegrounds, anonymity breeds tactical risk, and the crew feels a protective pressure to intercept or secure these worlds before their secrets become dangers. The cluster functions as destination, threat vector, and moral pivot that reframes the mission.
