Elucid – Green Star System – 3-Tier Economy | Material Fusion – Threat: Low – Korvax – 5 Planets | 1 Moon

Okay, not going to lie, I didn’t get out of the local space station all that much. The main reason I travel these days is to catalogue spaceships, and I usually prefer to set up at a local trading post because the lighting is more flexible. This station, though? Pilots would not stop coming. Had the whole inventory logged in a couple of hours. Highly recommended.

One other thing: Usually I travel solo, but this time it looks like other travelers came this way before I did. If your records show a planet described below has a different name, that’s why.

Nutumus Nemur

Screenshot of a moody, raining alien landscape with craggy hills and little vegetation. The hills are a muddy green. The sky is rolling red clouds and mist rises in the distanceNutumus Nemur is toxic. My first stop was a bustling local trading post but the red sky, though attractive, made ship cataloguing functionally impossible.

Heri III

An icy alien landcape featuring low, snowcapped hills and a pumpkin orange river. The skies are blue and the trees are pointy and coniferous. In the foreground, a handful of standing cylindrical rocks stick vertically out of the ground.Heri III is mostly water, unusual for an ice planet, and the hills are surprisingly forested. Good looking planet, but the interesting stuff is probably underwater and I’m too lazy to check.

 

Yevallingle Aguc

Shows a mountainous green alien landscape at night. There are mushrooms and funguses growing on the steep cliff. The largest mushroom, as big as a parasol, is gives off a glowing green light. The skies are starry and green.There are mushrooms and potentially other things, but I didn’t bother to write anything down.

Locations: Trading Post (-15.87, -12.83)

Yindustan Ibuk

Shows a dry, bleak alien landscape in the middle of a firestorm. Everything is tinted red and covered with burning embers. Fires are burning. There's a transmission tower covered in smoke. Yindustan Ibuk is supposed to be a dusty planet, but I just got here and everything is on fire. The desert flora is dull brown and thin on the ground. Probably because of the fire.

Locations: Crashed hauler (-18.64, -49.79)

Ampantig G45

This alien landscape feels pink. The skies are pink and orange and the ground is pink. It's dry, there's little vegetation. Low floating islands hang on the horizon.This is a scalding planet that unimpressed me sufficiently I forgot to take notes on it. Let’s just assume it’s terrible.

Uveraltl Soja (Moon)

This alien landscape includes green grasses and big red trees spiked like... lychees? There's an alien animal in the foreground. It looks almost like a group of animals clustered together, with eleven heads, all thin blobs connected at the base. It's brown and each head has tiny white eyes.I’ll be honest, I was pretty bored with this system. But Uveraltl Soja is great! Most of the plants are covered with thick glowing seeds like strawberries or lampwork beads. The grass has a yellow iridescent shimmer. I even found this weird enochi mushroom thing!

Spaceships

As a Korvax system, Tottor’s spaceship inventory includes 7 explorers, 3 fighters, 3 haulers, 7 shuttles, and 1 exotic.

Exotic

Ball exotic spaceship with blue paint and gold filigree. It has a long spiked nose, with a second spike attachment like a lance. Its upper fin is cropped and short.

Batanai’s Burning Gamble

This ball Exotic just looks like an angry bird and for some reason I’m okay with that.

Described in adjacent text.

The Ashes of Sleep

This blue and aquamarine upright explorer has large decorative orbs bolted to either side. Beautiful colour combination.
Described in adjacent text.

This curved-nosed blue hauler has vented, curved wings with secondary fins. Features red decals painted on the sides.
Described in adjacent text.

The Voice of Souls

Of course they’d waste the most metal name on the most meh-looking hauler imaginable. This hauler is an odd beige, compact, and tall instead of long.

 

Shuttles

Described in adjacent text.

The Departure of the Wind

This blue and white shuttle is compact and looks like a lunchbox. There’s an interesting semi-circular fan bolted on the side.
Described in adjacent text.

Wings of the Kojima

The colour of this shuttle is tough to make out, but I’m guessing a pale green. Actually, there’s a lot that’s hard to make out. I think it’s a single cigar-style body, largely obscured with chunky, vented wings.
Described in adjacent text.

The Father of the Gek

This yellow and white shuttle is a single cigar model with low-mounted cylindrical boosters and low wings.
Described in adjacent text.

The Marvel of the Abyss

Described in adjacent text.

Son of the Okkai

Alhagna-Uybays III

Alhagna-Uybays III is a Gek-controlled system with a humming economy, a moderate threat rating, and a handful of interesting fauna.

Tufield XVI

Two large carnivorous animals stand as if posing for the camera. They are green, bipedal lizards, like dinosaurs. One has gill-like fins on its back. The other has a friendly-looking bird's beak and looks like it's smiling. The world around them is a lush orange.Tufield XVI is a balmy, tropical planet with towering mushrooms, rolling orange bioluminescent hills, and a sparkling array of very angry animals. Within minutes of my arrival, a large beaked dinosaur was chewing on my arm. It turns out the N. Stalkiupae (adjacent) stands bolt upright in death, as is evidenced by these two specimens I shot repeatedly in the face.

Igginal

A lush alien landscape with green grasses and bulbous white-barked trees topped with palm-like purple leaves. Several chistled stone plateaus tower in the background.Igginal is a gorgeous place with rustling purple trees, high plateaus, and lush green grass, but it’s also one of those planets where the sentinels are mad as hell and the weather is terrible. The local wildlife hate me personally.

Portal Address: 31E1FE6C41DF (decode here)

Noteworthy Residents: Y. Pollenhiprea, a horned, six-legged dog with fins. Also, whatever this weird preying mantis crab is.

Beppu 72/J1

A reddish, dry alien landscape, looking down from a ridge to a flat, wide valley. The ridge is spotted with strange plants, like twisting purple tentacles and short green cacti. A few large bowl-shaped rocks are rimmed with bright red fungus.Beppu 72/J1 is heavily irradiated and simultaneously bleak and spotted with purple spikes, tendrils, and growths. Not much to write home about, unless you enjoy tiny, glowing turtles (B. Bluaigaea).

 

Hugat

Hugat is a flourishing planet that has some of the funniest animals I have seen in a long time. One variant of A. Copelmatoe looks an axe with personality. Another is a delightful beluga whale with bird legs, scales, and functionally useless insectoid wings. And then there’s the elf-eared bear with what looks like a circular saw blade embedded in its back (X. Footcokinium).

An animal walks across a gently sloping red-grassed hill. It has a domed head, beady black eyes, and a wide mouth like a beluga whale. It has no arms, just small insectoid wings and long, bird-like legs. It is a mottled purple and tan-green colour.

The planet itself is dominated by red grasslands pocked with deep craters often filled with water.

Locations: Crashed hauler (+30.15, -53.66)

Iann

An animal (technically) floats in front of a dull red landscape scattered with clusters of artificial-looking black-metal shapes. The animal is a glowing circle of light. The outer circle is white, its center is red. It is semi-translucent.Iann is a mechanical planet. As with other boundary failure planets, unless you’re looking for collectibles it gets old fast. The local fauna is a glowing red orb of light called a P. Monkelbosa that apparently has brain parasites somehow.

Spaceships

As a Gek system, Alhagna-Uybays III has 7 haulers, 7 shuttles, 3 fighters, 3 explorers, and 1 exotic.

Exotic

This exotic spaceship is shaped like a grey ball with two smaller balls (thrusters) on either side.

JT4 Uenoh

This grey, sub-nosed ball exotic features silver filigree, black-capped thrusters, and twin engines. It took so long to spawn that I bought it just so I could watch it disintegrate.

 

Explorers

Nomachi’s Towering Conqueror

This upright red and grey explorer has a large decorative orb bolted to either side. Because I am old, it reminds me of Krumm from Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.
Described in adjacent text.

Gravity Forge PS9

This upright grey and white/tan upright explorer has nifty x-wing style wings and, even better, the wings have spikes! Perfect for all your spiked wing needs.
Described in adjacent text.

Soaring Udamat VII

This unimpressive grey/brown and blue insectoid explorer has small upright fins bolted to either side. Not enough spikes. 0/10. Would not recommend.

 

 

Fighters

Described in adjacent text.

Isshir FD4

I’m not that keen on the cigar-nosed fighters, but this split-wing fighter is an exception. The colour is closer to sand than yellow. Feels very appropriate for desert combat.
Described in adjacent text.

Obihir of the Vy’keen

This slant-nosed brown and military green fighter feels like it’s also keeping to a real world combat theme. The diamond wings are nifty, even as the dorsal fin is impractical.
Described in adjacent text.

OA9 Suwakun

Point-nosed red and white/grey fighter jet go brrrrr. It has a ridiculous number of red fins (7!) and wings, which is the exact correct amount to have.

 

Haulers

Described in adjacent text.

Bananyu CF5

This red and blue curve-nosed hauler has some areas where the internal mechanisms are exposed. Neat.
Described in adjacent text.

DZ2 Tashizun

The distinct red and sickly guacamole green colour scheme of this curve-nosed, angled hauler makes it stand out. Whether or not this is a good thing is a matter of personal preference
Described in adjacent text.

Nonoichi PW2

I think in my notes I had this as “blue box thiccboy”, which is about as good a description as anything. Compact and tall instead of long, this hauler feels more like a shuttle.
Described in adjacent text.

TK1 Munatoka (1st wave)

This yellow and red curve-nosed hauler has exposed panels and hefty engines and curved wings bolted to its sides.
Described in adjacent text.

Visionary Miraka XIX

More secondary engines and curved wings, but this time the height on those wings are frankly ridiculous. Hauler itself is red, chunky, and has a box cockpit.
Described in adjacent text.

Airborne Aishiwa VI (1st wave)

This off-white hauler is about as close to an actual RV as is probably available in No Man’s Sky, down to the brown decals on the side.
Described in adjacent text.

Anoyabe Surveyor IV

This green, brown, and blue hauler has very Earth Day vibes.  The vents on the curved wings are pretty neat.

 

Shuttles

This shuttle has a flat, paddle-like back that resembles the shape of a cuttlefish's body. It also has small wings.

Degawaj’s Ancestral Spirit

This white and eggshell-blue shuttle is a fantastic entry for anyone who doesn’t have a Living Ship but still really, really wants to fly around looking like a giant mutant cuttlefish.
Described in adjacent text.

Auray’s Ultimate Trailblazer

Sometimes I dread describing shuttles. It’s red, it’s white, it looks like a lunchbox, and it has narrow wings. Can we pretend that’s good enough?
Described in adjacent text.

Deram UQ3

This orange and white shuttle also looks like a lunchbox, but this time the wings are better proportioned and there are little nubs on the front.
Described in adjacent text.

EU8 Nobeok

This lemon and white shuttle is a dual-cigar model with small y-shaped wings.
Described in adjacent text.

Ruokam War-Spear XVII

This mint-green lunchbox shuttle has chunky wings, each tipped with a single circular thruster.
Described in adjacent text.

Tenrido LJ7 (1st wave)

This white and aquamarine shuttle is surprisingly compact as a single cigar shuttle goes. Its little wings are cute.
Described in adjacent text.

WO6 Ogawachi

This mint-green shuttle features a long, single cigar engine. Look upon its little wings and despair.

Planets

Saconnong XI

Flat brown alien landscape with green ocean in the background. The foliage is towering mushrooms and strange, eggsac-like glowing plants and bone-like, twisting sculptures.Affectionately described as a “caustic nightmare,” Saconnong XI is the largest planet in the system. The weather is terrible and the terrain is an ugly, muddy yellow, but where it really shines is its horrible infestation problem. Sure, it killed off all the humanoid residents, but at night the corrupted plants have a pretty bioluminescent shimmer that’s very attractive. Best planet in the system, as long as you’re not looking for conversation. Swing by one of its abandoned minor settlements for cheap dirt.

Portal Address: 10B8FE6C41E0 (decode here)

Locations: Curious mold (+25.40, +64.25), crashed fighter (-69.44, -63.92)
Noteworthy Residents: R. Oilyengrus, a gorgeous purple serpent-tailed butterfly that can feel love.

Wuker XII

Red, dusty landscape with barren hills dotted with somewhat generic alien cacti. The sky is a warm yellow.The heavily irradiated Wuker XII is one of those planets that leans hard on red. The water’s red, the dirt has a rusty red tinge to it, and the local foliage is dishwater dull. Seems more populated than the rest of the system, so the bustling local planetary archives (-29.02, +72.85) is a solid place to watch for spaceships.

Portal Address: 40B8FE6C41E0 (decode here)

Locations: Mutant plant (-4.40, +39.28) 
Noteworthy Residents: F. Cloudsatotii, an attractive red-green serpent-tailed butterfly that loves radiation and high-fibre diets. Absolutely everywhere.

Ecussiou

Rocky, jagged mountains against an airless starry sky.Ecussiou is a dull, grey, airless planet with more sentinels than wildlife. Its only notable quality is its mountains, and whatever was underground I didn’t bother to check.

Porphy Alpha

Heavily mountainous alien landscape with egg-sac plants clinging to dead-looking dusty soil.Porphy Alpha is mountainous storm of toxic nonsense. It has storm crystals, a beetle that’s kind of cute actually, and that’s about it.

Thwic VII (moon)

Dusty-looking reddish desert covered by generic cacti.The moon Thwic VII slots comfortably into the category “space Arizona”. I picked up a couple of suspicious scanner modules from a four-eyed Gek that smelled like dead fish parked yards away from a celestial archive that seemed all but abandoned. Home to a yellow-orange serpent-tailed butterfly named D. Weeposylivosa.

Taeansey D26 (moon)

Dull, flat landscape with scattered rocks, dead soil, and an airless starry sky.The moon Taeansey D26 is described in the logs as a terraforming catastrophe, but frankly I think it was probably always terrible. If possible, avoid.

Spaceships

As a Gek system, Jiedail has 7 haulers, 7 shuttles, 3 fighters, 3 explorers, and 1 exotic. The local spaceport is heavily irradiated, which can impact the accuracy of paint job colours.

Exotic

snub-nosed grey ball exotic ship with covered thrusters

UB4 Wadanoya

This snub-nosed ball exotic has ample golden filigree, a muted grey base coat, and features covered thrusters capped in gold.

 

Explorers

TY9 Ikagail

Couldn’t tell you what colour this thing was if you paid me. Fine-looking upright explorer with a single decorative claw-style attachment.
Red and black insectoid explorer with tight directional thrusters

The Wings of Destruction

This red and black insectoid explorer has no wings at all, which makes me question whichever Gek named it. Still, the tiny directional thrusters are so cute. I’d love this in pink.
High-backed red explorer with a massive upright fin on either side

Burning Nemura XVIII

Parking this red upright explorer must be an actual nightmare. Those massive, decorative fins are huge.

 

Fighters

Red-grey stub-nosed fighter with M wings

Rakir’s Lost Work

This crashed stub-nosed, grey and red split-winged fighter is available for pickup on

Saconnong XI.
Tuning fork orange and blue fighter

Kutsuc of the Sun

I love this nonsensical mess. I love its orange and blue paint job, its shield-wing design, its tuning-fork snout and its deeply pointless dorsal fin. May have to camp the S-rank.
Cigar-shaped fighter in pale blue-grey and yellow-beige

The Hawk of Inevitability

This cigar, heavily finned fighter is in muted colours hard to make out. Best guess right now is grey-blue and yellow-white.

 

Haulers

Orange and blue shuttle, classic RV

Furakit’s Resistance CE3

This classic RV-style hauler features an attractive blue and orange paint job, dual-mounted thrusters with protective decaled sidepanels.
Tilted turquoise hauler with high thrusters

Red and orange-beige RV style hauler

Kahara’s Colourless Pioneer

Red hauler with fuel canisters

ZV9 Akkan

This red curve-nosed hauler is flanked by massive round storage containers protected by decaled, angled panels.
Red RV style hauler with wing decorations

Favourite Song JI2

Victim of the weather. This red, flat-backed, RV-style hauler has decorative curved fins and feels the most like an RV as I think I’ve seen.

Green and white-beige hauler with box attachments

The Defeat of Infinity

This green and white curve-nosed hauler is flanked by massive storage boxes.

 

Shuttles

Red lunchbox shuttle

Soaring Konod XVII

This is one of the more interesting lunchbox shuttles I’ve seen. It sits high on top of its flared sandwich wings, and has what looks like a foot in the front. Maybe for ease of parking?
This blue and white shuttle has a box-shaped cockpit attached to two massive cylindrical thrusters.

Shunam XJ4

This grey-blue and white dual-cigar model shuttle has a number of interesting decorative elements, from weird domes and lumps to little finned wings.
