Chillspire is a remote dwarf planet located at the very edge of a vast solar system orbiting Alnilam, a large blue supergiant star 2000 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Orion. Chillspire is dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds.
The planet's surface is a dense fluid of icy materials, water, methane, and ammonia over a small rocky core. The planet is so remote from its star that it never sees any seasons, and exists in endless deep winter. Life is obviously impossible on this planet, the conditions are too violent and anything that reaches the planet is destroyed in its violent surface environment.
Chillspire unique remote location turned in its favor as the only refueling stop for deep space missions. Below its thick layer of ice crust lay one of the largest reservoirs of helium and liquid oxygen used to fuel the colony itself and a wide range of mining and exploration ships passing by out and then back into the galaxy center.
