 //Topas is simply described as a single radioactive desert, where people shelter in the ruins of war torn subterranean cities. The atmosphere is too thin to breathe, and water is almost non-existent. The cities are ruled by a single huge bureaucracy that stifles free enterprise, and strictly controls the distribution of power, air, water and food.// //Topas is simply described as a single radioactive desert, where people shelter in the ruins of war torn subterranean cities.

 There are 'pirates' around Hybris, and sometimes some in the outer system. A fast ship may be able to get to an outer planet, refuel and take off being being caught, but other ships leave it up to the whim of those who control access to hydrogen. There are 'pirates' around Hybris, and sometimes some in the outer system.

 **Topas** is a dry, almost airless world that is geologically active. There are even signs of massive geological activity about ten million years ago which resurfaced a region over a 1,000km across. The atmosphere is too thin to breathe and filled with radioactive dust (though, at least in the low lands, a pressure suit is not needed), and the general surface radiation level is around 30mSv/month, though it spikes to much higher levels in some areas. **Topas** is a dry, almost airless world that is geologically active.
