Sarawak station was built by the IMG to monitor the nearby neutron star. It serves both as an early warning station, as well as a nuclear physics lab. With an abundance of material to experiment on just next door. This proximity is both a blessing and a curse for the scientists here. rare, but unpredicatble radiation waves sometimes reach as far as the station and pose a great threat to its personnel. Apart from theoretical nuclear physics, this facility specializes in mining technology, hazardous environment countermeasures, like radiation, chemical and bio-hazards. In short, all, that the IMG miners need to make their work and lives easier and safer. It also has some great achievements in the field of weaponry and shields. A result of the constant struggle against the outcasts.
(freeport 12)
Freeport 12 was built by the IMG in cooperation with the Zoners, who have the richest experience in construting this type of stations. The nearby planet Borneo, as it turned out is entirely covered by an ocean, where life is abundant. New, often edible species of aquatic life are being discovered every day. It is an undepletable source of food, which feeds all IMG bases in the region. Over time, to produce a greater variety of food, biodomes were constructed. Later, when it turned out, that Borneo holds large pockets of gas beneath the ocean's bottom, IMG constructed a few drilling platforms, which now send the mined gas, mostly oxygen to the orbiting freeport.
Presently, Freeport 12 has the same function as before: harvest Borneo's richness and send the food to where it is needed.
(( CHANGE FP12 names to the new one ))
Malakka
Malakka has been a clasification problem ever since it has been discovered in 801 AS by an IMG expedition. It has a too thick atmosphere to be considered a terrestrial planet. Its stony core however diqualifies it as a full-right gas giant. Orbital Spa and cruise have expressed their interest in sending luxury liners to it, due to its unique, beutiful coulour. Its other economic values are however very small. Surveys have detected some noble matals on the stony core's surface, however the thick atmosphere and extreme pressure around the core make any potential mining operations very unlikely.
Singapore shipyard
Constructed shortly after the nomad war, Singapore is the IMG's primary shipyard. Thanks to a tight cooperation with the zoners, it is capable of building powerful battleships, known as battlestars. It also specializes in the construction of mining vessels and large freighters. It is this shipyard, that keeps the IMG safe from the outcast threat. Try as they might, they could never overrun Java base in fear of a retaliatory IMG attack on omicron alpha. Singapore is hidden far from view to ensure its safety from attacks and in the event of one, there is always enough time to react.
Palewan (moon)
This stellar body, similarly as its neighbour, Malakka, is a clasification nightmare for scientists. It is too big for a moon, too small for a planet. It has been proven however, that Palewan has the same geological structure as Malakka's rocky core, as if they were once one. Only that Palewan has no atmosphere. This leads to an assumption, that some sort of cataclysm might have broken a bigger planet into two, where the larger part retained an atmosphere.
Mindanao neutron star
(Size, weight and other properties just like Elysium)
Warning! Extreme radiation source detected!
This stellar body is a remain of an imploded sun, turned into a neutron star. Even though the cataclysm took place millennia ago, the radiation is little weaker. That is due to the largest ever discovered uranium deposit, which is still present on the planets surface. Many efforts were made to attempt the exploitation of this richness. However the insane radiation there would penetrate even the best-shielded hulls. This once led to the loss of an entire mining ship with all hands. No further attempts of exploitation were made. Only some time ago, the IMG decided to construct the Sarawak research station to examine this fascinating object's properties.
Presently, Mindanao is one of the last planets in Sirius, whichs surface was never reached by any human-made machine. Fascinating for the scientists. Deadly to those unwise enough to come too close.

More coming up soon, but first, I really need some sleep:sleep:
Neutron stars are not planets. They are composed of a dense neutron superfluid (popularly called "neutronium", although the term is incorrect), floating on a layer of electrons superfluid.
There is no normal matter there. Nor a neutron star could orbit within a normal system. And the neutronium is stable only under the heavy gravity of the star itself. Take it outside the star and the neutrons will break free of the compound.
Also, neutron stars emit a beam of extremely powerful hard X-rays. If it were inside a system, it would completely sterilize everything on it. Not a single ship would be able to survive in such system no matter how thick the hull were (Consider that such beam, at that short planetary distance, would pass through a planet as if it weren't there).
The infocard is completely wrong. You should rewrite it to something that makes sense, scientifically.
(If you find any mistake in my English, please let me know via a PM)
(Really, I speak terrible English, so please, tell me if I make mistakes. I'd like to improve it a bit )
hmm, let's just make it a planet, where there's a s(...)load of naturally radioactive stuff? like delete the neutron star part and leave that uranium as it was.
(btw, in that case, how the hell does omega 41 exist?, how can I get pass through just by the "neuton star" with only minor damage? And how in that case,how could the zoners build a freeport and the corsairs Leon base in there?)
here's the errata
Planet Mindanao
(Size, weight and other properties just like Elysium)
Warning! Extreme radiation source detected!
This planet is a true miracle for scientists. But like every rose, this stellar body has thorns. That is due to the largest ever discovered uranium deposit, which is present on the planet’s surface. Many efforts were made to attempt the exploitation of this richness. However the insane radiation there would penetrate even the best-shielded hulls. This once led to the loss of an entire mining ship with all hands. No further attempts of exploitation were made. Only some time ago, the IMG decided to construct the Sarawak research station to examine this fascinating object's properties.
