Dekatos

The fifth planet from the suns, Dekatos is a secret government research facility operating under the cover of a prison planet. A mixture of maximum and low security prisons combined with a juvenile system and a rehabilitation centre make up the front for the experiments taken out on Dekatos. It also has the largest specialty hospital in the Nova Spes System, boasting the best doctors from around the galaxy.

Ecology
Dekatos is a hot desolate planet with wide stretches of sandy desert and large areas of nothing but stone landscapes. Frequent winds blow in several directions at once, making it a harsh and inhospitable place to live.

Apollo
Engineering central, everything that needs to be built in the system - the materials are manufactured here.

Helion
A ball of gas, Helion is a fiery reminder to the prisoners of Dekatos that no respect awaits them even after death. An incinerator for the planet, Helion is the perfect place to dispose of the corpses of the victims of the research facility. Glowing in the night sky, it casts an ominous presence.

Maia
A shipping port, Maia is the trade central location for imports and exports of the Nova Spes System. Kind of slummy

Minerva
The moon Minerva houses a small research centre on one side, and an elite boarding school on the other.

Culture
As most of the people on Dekatos are 'prisoners' from other planets and galaxies, there is no native name for them. They are collectively called Dekaten if anything.

Branding
All prisoners receive a chip inbedded in the inside wrist of their right hand. The chip is programmed to sound an alarm and a tracker is triggered if it is removed from the body illegally. The chip holds all the information on record of the prisoner.
