Profile table spectral classes corrected to match DB star_type for: GJ-183, GJ-661B, GJ-508A, GJ-603, GJ-92, GJ-434, GJ-49, GJ-117, GJ-169, GJ-286, GJ-3442, GJ-1235, GJ-356A (13 systems). Prose fixes where Miri wrote around invented spectral types: GJ-92 (G0V→K-type), GJ-434 (G8Vvar→M-dwarf flare), GJ-49 (K5V→M-dwarf), GJ-117 (K1V→M-dwarf), GJ-169 (K7V→M-dwarf), GJ-286 (K0IIIvar→G-type). Structural fixes: - GJ-508A: "three stops back" → "one gate back" (Breëvlei is adjacent) - GJ-2097: authority gradient softened with wave_2 age justification Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Mossbank is the terminus — reached through an unsettled binary system, one gate, one way out. The name is Scottish, carried across decades and light-years by settlers whose families came from that tradition, and it fits a world where low-growing vegetation carpets every damp surface and the word "bank" captures both the sloped terrain and the quiet feeling of something accumulating slowly.
|
|

The star is the surprise. A G-type primary — bright, warm, yellow-white — sits at the end of this dim corridor like a door left open in a dark hallway. The habitable world sits inside a broad temperate zone, and the quality of the light is noticeably different from the red-shifted corridors of the Cairn pocket chain. Settlers who arrived forty to a hundred years ago found a world that required less artificial lighting, less vitamin supplementation, and less agricultural engineering than the M-dwarf worlds behind them. They consider this luck. Some of them consider it a reason to stay permanently.

|
As a dead_end with one aperture, Mossbank is off the movement of goods and people that flows through through_routes. What arrives here was sent here. What leaves here was meant to leave. This gives the community an unusual clarity about who belongs and why. Strangers are memorable.
|
|
|
|
## Supply Dependency
|
|
|
|
Mossbank is not yet self-sufficient in manufactured components and medical fabrication. Supply runs from Athabasca (GJ 1289) route through the unsettled GJ 3988 binary; delays are expected and built into planning cycles. The community has developed strong local repair and maintenance culture as a result — you fix what you have because the replacement is three weeks out.
|
|
|
|
## Faction Notes
|
|
|
|
Settlement council governance, no external faction presence. Scottish heritage community traditions run deep enough that informal dispute resolution structures predate the formal charter. The Commission knows this system exists; it does not have a representative stationed here.
|
|
|
|
## Silence Topic
|
|
|
|
The decision to route through the unsettled binary to reach Mossbank rather than finding a more direct approach. The survey data suggests alternative corridors existed and were not pursued. No one local knows why, and asking the question is considered rude — implying the founders had a reason to hide.
|
|
|
|
## Narrative Hook
|
|
|
|
A family arrived eighteen months ago claiming to be the descendants of the original survey team, carrying documents that would establish a prior land claim predating the current settlement charter. The council has been quietly ignoring them. The documents may be genuine.
|
|
|
|
## Calibration Note
|
|
|
|
Wave_5 dead_end at hop 7 routed through an unsettled system is the most isolated settled configuration in the north_reach corridor. The G-type star justifies settlement despite the access difficulty.
