Beta Foundry
AridIndustrial world. Automated smelting operations convert raw ore into standardized construction materials. The furnaces run at stellar-calibrated temperatures that organic metallurgists consider impossible to maintain.
The automated foundries of Beta are running hotter than anything I've seen since the Kepler Thermals—those stellar-calibrated temperatures are frankly obscene, yet the machines maintain them with an almost meditative precision that makes my crew deeply uncomfortable. I suspect whoever engineered these systems understood something about material science that our universities are still scratching their heads over; the construction-grade output is flawless, almost offensively so. It's the kind of place that makes you realize how small human ambition looks when scaled against a world that simply decided to be perfect at one thing and never stopped.
