A roiling pot of fire and brimstone, inhabited by strange and hostile fauna and crowned with an ancient and evil ruin, possibly cursed. Oh, and it's also home to the biggest plasma haul in human history.

=Indecipheres, the Land of Lava=
Originally discovered in the 2300s by an explorer who was smitten by the planet's remarkable biodiversity in the face of adversity, the history of human contact with Indecipheres begins with a dispute over its name. The original discoverer had, in her original star charts, named the planet "Fredonia", in honour of her husband. At the Bureau of Cartography on Earth, however, an intern assigned to converting these charts to a digital format spilled coffee on the documentation. Being unable to read the name for the planet, she instead opted to name it "Indecipheres", from "indecipherable". By the time the original discoverer of the planet, who was rightly furious about the change, found out about this, it was officially part of TerraGov's charts for too long to be changed. And so, the planet has retained its new name ever since.

The planet itself is incredibly hostile. The planet's plate tectonics can only be described as "extreme", with lava seas and frequent earthquakes. The unstable tectonics have also opened a vast number of caves beneath the surface, and brought a wide array of minerals to them, making the planet incredibly resource rich. This is a feature that has made Indecipheres extremely lucrative for mining, as one of the most common minerals on the planet is the ever-so-elusive plasma, with the ores also being of remarkable purity. Additionally, the planet is home to a wealth of fauna and a remarkable amount of flora given its hostile environment.

Perhaps the most interesting part of Indecipheres is its archaeological potential- the planet is dotted with ruins and structures presumed to be from an ancient civilisation, with the largest being the imposing Necropolis.
