Andromeda System

The Andromeda System stretches as a vast celestial expanse, its spiral arms dense with ancient stars and swirling nebulae. To those unfamiliar, it appears as nothing more than a remote sector of the galaxy—until the Phylox series planets enter view. These small, attenuated worlds orbit dim stars, their surfaces marked by jagged rock formations and sparse vegetation adapted to the harsh radiation that seeps through thin atmospheres. The system exists in a state of climatic equilibrium, neither extreme in heat nor cold, making it an ideal refuge for recovery. The isolation is absolute; no trade routes pass near its borders, and its position remains uncharted in most star maps outside Gallifreyan academic study. Even the air—if one could stand upon the surface—would taste faintly metallic, carrying the echoes of cosmic dust. It is the kind of place one reaches only when navigation systems are broken or trust in machines has failed entirely.
