Psi Nalut V
An ice giant planet in the Psi Nalut System, which is owned by the Hyperion Federation.
Psi Nalut V, like other planets in the system, features a number of magnetic monopoles which formed after the parent star went supernova. However, as these monopoles were much heavier than the atmosphere, they fell down to the metallic hydrogen layer. As such, while more magnetic monopoles can be found on this planet, they can only be found deeper which is harder to reach. Due to this, the Hyperion Federation opted to use 2 very large extraction stations instead of many smaller ones that they normally use. These larger stations have larger extraction cables allowing them to reach this large depth. This planet also has a number of storms at that depth so the HF expends a lot of energy to keep the extraction stations stable and to not allow the storms to reduce the orbital altitude of the collection stations. This causes them to be energy-negative despite the stations using the hydrogen it extracts as fusion fuel. The result of this is that the Hyperion Federation has to bring energy to the stations, via antimatter. This ice giant also has an asteroid ring around it. Like on Psi Nalut II, this ring also has a small number of magnetic monopoles so those too are often exploited by the HF. These asteroids cn provide an excellent form of cover for defences, so the HF has placed most of the planets defence systems in the asteroid belt. These include shipyards and defence platforms. The ice giant itself has a distinct blue-yellow appearance from orbit and there are very long, streak-like clouds caused by the wind.
