Helican

Helican is a system located in region 7.7 of Echo Sector.

It is also known as The Neo-Babel: the whole planet is an immense network of museums, networks, libraries and servers.

- the planet has never been inhabited by any intelligent or even sentient form of life, but holds immense amount of 1 or 2 cell organisms which in turn make for a surreal flora.

- some scholars started moving there because the environment of the planet makes it perfect to maintain and preserve archeological artifacts, manuscripts and ancient technology.

- with time, the planet grew to become the largest center of information in the galaxy (or so they claim).

- Any information you might be looking for, they have it.

- The planets atmosphere is particularly well suited to be an archive because it is extremely cold and consists of liquid air (this is total BS, I'm totally making up fake science... and it's great), which keeps everything on it's surface in a sort of stasis.

- The liquid air prevents most species from breathing normally on ground level, so the inhabitants live in flying cities, the biggest of which is called the Citadel.

- to go on the surface to visit the archives, one needs an impressive amount of equipment and a guide.
