Bruno
Named for Giordano Bruno, Bruno is a gas giant in the Hawking Star System. Asteroids and other space infrastructure was setup here before the arrival of human colonists in the Hawking system. Bruno’s gravity well would go on to house the majority of the non-Grawla population in the hawking system.

History
Bruno was ‘settled’ in 2181 as the first stage of the human colonization of the Hawking star system. The initial colonies were little more than small crews onboard ships loaded with drones that would begin creating the space infrastructure required to support colonization efforts.
Locations
Bruno is a gas giant, and its gravity well dominates much of the outer areas of the Hawking system. This has created a large number of moons in orbit around the planet, and a large number of asteroids in nearby space, kept in an orbit away from the inner system by Bruno.

Wellhead Orbit
The Wellhead Orbit of Bruno provides the link between the refineries in the Upstream Orbits, and the atmosphere of Bruno itself. Ships and Stations dip down into the atmosphere to siphon off gasses, then deliver them to the refineries in a more stable orbit. Due to atmospheric drag, craft constantly must boost themselves up to avoid getting pulled down into Bruno itself.
