Location: Volans Sector
Type: Frontier System
Claimed by: Ascendancy

Blackmane is an inhabited system on the very fringe of Ascendancy space. It's star is very active, and emits harsh and powerful radiation. There is a single research colony in the system, on the dark side of a tidally locked barren planet, where it is just about sheltered enough from the radiation to exist behind a thick protective dome. The research colony was established to study the Blackmane star, but has fallen somewhat into disrepair since efforts to explore the Volans Sector have faded.
