Daymar

Daymar or Stanton 2b is a natural satellite of Crusader. It is named after one of the siblings from a tale called A Gift for Baba. Darnell Ajay built the first permanent homestead on Daymar in 2906.^[1]

Atmosphere

Daymar has a toxic, non-breathable nitrogen-methane atmosphere with trace amounts of hydrogen. The moon is also subject to extreme temperatures. As such, full environmental protection is an absolute necessity for surface explorers. Dust storms are a frequent occurrence close to the surface, resulting in low-visibility conditions.

Artificial Satellites

Covalex Hub Gundo

	This former Covalex Shipping hub recently suffered a catastrophic incident resulting in the loss of all hands. The authorities have determined that the cause of the disaster was criminal negligence on the part of Darnell Ward, but his wife Elaine is seeking a private investigator to establish what really happened.

Comm Array ST2-47

	A communication station is positioned around the area to help provide comm coverage. Its functionality or lack thereof is determined by gameplay. Comm Arrays were originally placed in orbit of the parent planet, but since Alpha 3.9.0, all planets and moons now contain one CommArray in orbit each.

Trivia

On 2904-03-17, Meiko Norwood collapsed here while loading soil samples into her ship. She passed away later that day due to complications with an artificial heart valve, making her the first person to die on Daymar.^[1]

The Daymar Rally is an "underground" vehicle race held on Daymar every Standard Earth Year. The race itself consists of hundreds of participants racing, bouncing, shooting, and rushing to be the first to travel 510 kilometers through three separate outposts.
