Hovrun

Hovrun is a fictional celestial body featured in the "Starfinder" tabletop role-playing game. It is a planet located in the Pact Worlds system, a collection of planets and moons that serve as the primary setting for the game. Hovrun is known for its extreme environmental conditions and its role as a penal colony.

The planet is characterized by a harsh, arid landscape with towering mesas and deep canyons. Its atmosphere is thin and often filled with toxic dust storms. Life on Hovrun is scarce and adapted to survive in this unforgiving environment, with hardy, often dangerous flora and fauna. The planet's surface is dotted with mining outposts and a few scattered settlements, primarily inhabited by prisoners and their overseers.

Hovrun's primary function within the Pact Worlds is as a maximum-security prison. Its remote location and severe climate make it an ideal place to send those deemed too dangerous or troublesome to be held elsewhere. The penal colony is managed by a consortium of Pact Worlds governments, who employ strict security measures to prevent escapes. Despite the challenges, some individuals are drawn to Hovrun seeking rare minerals or the desperate, often illicit, opportunities that arise in such a lawless environment. The planet's history is intertwined with the struggles of its inhabitants to survive and the ongoing efforts to maintain order within its imposing confines.
