Star Citizen planet: Terminus (Pyro VI) and Ruin Station

The end of the line, literally. The last planet of the Pyro system, Terminus is a frozen, barely habitable world. Its atmosphere holds enough nitrogen and oxygen to breathe, but methane and carbon dioxide make it harmful over time.

☀️ 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).

🏚️ Ruin Station, the pirates’ capital

Built by Pyrotechnic Amalgamated above Terminus, the station was abandoned shortly after it was finished. It became a refuge for black-market traders and pirates, and today houses Pyro’s only permanent inhabitants. In 2947, the XenoThreat group seized it, making them the de facto rulers of the system. Feuds between factions make it deadly for everyone, civilians and outlaws alike.
