Star Citizen planet: Bloom (Pyro III), the outlaws’ den

Pyro’s beating (and armed) heart. Bloom is an icy world with a naturally breathable atmosphere. Pyrotechnic Amalgamated made it the centre of its mining operations. When the mines closed, those who couldn’t afford the trip back to the Empire stayed… and the outlaws followed.

☀️ The Pyro system in brief. A “flare” star that can change brightness within minutes and sweep the system with radiation. The Pyrotechnic Amalgamated company mined it from 2493 to 2563, then abandoned everything. Gangs moved into its deserted stations: today in Pyro, whoever has the most guns makes the law. Open to players since Alpha 4.0.0 (December 2024).
