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. The nearly circular orbit is said to represent 'his ease at getting lost in the story'. 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.

Locations

Surface outposts

Type	Name	Description
Farm	Bountiful Harvest Hydroponics	Bountiful Harvest Hydroponics is dedicated to growing the best nature has to offer. Crusader Industries commends Bountiful Harvest Hydroponics for their extraordinary response to those in need on Vega II. Following the horrific Vanduul attacks on 2945-10-05, Bountiful Harvest produced and donated more emergency food supplies for the Vega relief effort than any other outpost on Crusader's moons. This outpost's extraordinary sacrifice serves as a reminder that the UEE will always stand behind those who come face-to-face with the Vanduul threat.^[1]
Mining	ArcCorp Mining Area 141	A mining facility owned and operated by ArcCorp.
Mining	Kudre Ore	An independent mining facility.
Mining	Shubin Mining Facility SCD-1	A mining facility owned and operated by Shubin Interstellar.
Security	Moluto	Security post operated by Crusader Security for local monitoring and storage. Trespassing not allowed.
Security	Prashad	Security post operated by Crusader Security for local monitoring and storage. Trespassing not allowed.
Security	Thaquray	Security post operated by Crusader Security for local monitoring and storage. Trespassing not allowed.

Other locations

Type	Name	Description
Abandoned	NT-999-XVI	Underground bunker. "$%/3.0_N/A"
Abandoned	The Garden	Underground bunker. "How does yours grow?"
Abandoned	TPF	Underground bunker. "For those with discerning taste."
Cave	Kudre Ore Mine (Closed)	An independent mining site no longer in active operation.
Shelter	Dunlow Ridge	This ridge was named for Crusader's former CEO August Dunlow. Many credit Dunlow's vision as instrumental into transforming Crusader Industries into the company it is today. With that in mind, Dunlow Ridge, with its expansive view of the Daymar landscape, was named in his honor.^[1]
Shelter	Eager Flats	This section of Daymar became known as Eager Flats after an eccentric artist who called it home. Norman Eager gained notoriety in the 2920s for constructing a series of art installations so massive they could be seen by ships flying above the flats. Deemed 'ephemeral art' by Eager, the pieces were not meant to be permanent. Instead, they were slowly degraded and buried by the moon's constantly swirling sands.^[1]
Shelter	Tamdon Plains	The Tamdon Plains were named in honor of Advocacy agent Crista Tamdon, who in 2912 was killed in the line of duty after being ambushed while crossing these plains in pursuit of a suspect.^[1]
Shelter	Wolf Point	Situated above a junction of multiple canyons, Wolf Point earned its name thanks to Crusader surveyor Cally Stroble who had noted excitedly in her initial report that "Against all odds, it seems a family of wolf-like creatures somehow has found a way to settle the area. Their cries can be heard for kilometers around." However, when further investigation proved that the wolves were merely a prank by a fellow surveyor, the name stuck.^[1]
Unmarked	Brio's Breaker Yard	An unmarked scrapyard outpost.
Unmarked	Whistlers Crypt	A derelict settlement using parts of the Mercury Star Runner and 600i Explorer . A point of interest for missions.^[3]
Unmarked	Yadar Valley	An unmarked race course located 11 km at 235 degrees from The Garden.
Unmarked	(Unnamed)	An unmarked derelict habitation structure in ruins, but not forgotten. Sometimes used as a dead-drop site for delivery missions.
Waste	Nuen Waste Management	Caution: Hazardous Waste Site. Authorized Personnel Only. Drug stash outpost.
Wreck	UEES Flyssa	In 2862, the Javelin-class UEES Flyssa was lost on Daymar, with all 65 hands.^[4] The wreck remains on the surface to this day, though only the metal superstructure of the ship has survived the last century of looting and erosion.

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.
