Crucible Prime

Terran
Garrison world. Military academies, live-fire training ranges, and shipyard facilities cover the temperate zones. The polar regions house the Pact's strategic reserve fleet in hardened underground hangars.
Crucible Prime lives up to its name—a genuine forge of geological violence where tectonic plates collide with enough force to make you question the structural integrity of the *Meridian's* hull plating. The whole planet seems locked in a perpetual tantrum, all roiling magma chambers and ash storms that dim the local star to an eerie rust-colored smudge, and yet somehow there's a grim beauty to it, the kind that reminds you why you left safe harbor in the first place. I've cataloged seventeen distinct mineral formations already, but I'm more interested in whether anything survives down there—life in a pressure-cooker tends to evolve interesting solutions. Recommend full geological survey and radiation shielding before any surface expedition, though I admit I'm tempted to ignore that advice.
