Eikana

Eikana is a tectonically quiescent, airless world with a flat, arid surface of gray sand stretching to the horizon. The planet has no moons. Its gravity is gentler than standard. The surface includes Virdi Planum, a wide plateau that is the site of the Yamato Fuelworks. The Fuelworks' hadron collider ring encircles the entire planet at its equator in a single unbroken loop.

Eikana has no indigenous population. The Yamato Fuelworks facility housed approximately five hundred permanent workers before the Cielcin assault.

Eikana sits within the Centaurine provinces of the Sollan Empire and falls under the authority of the Magnarchate of Centaurus. The planet's sole strategic importance is its antimatter production. The Yamato Fuelworks was seized by Cielcin forces under the White Hand of Syriani Dorayaica before being recaptured by the Red Company under Hadrian Marlowe. The Yamato company estimated eight months before the facility would be operable again following the assault.

Virdi Planum is a broad plateau on the equatorial surface of Eikana where the Yamato Fuelworks are situated. The Yamato Fuelworks, also called the Eikana Fuelworks, is the primary antimatter production facility in the Centaurine provinces. It consists of a ring of hadron colliders girding the entire planet at the equator, producing kilotons of antimatter per day. The facility includes silver-domed containment silos, a central refinery building with a control room suspended above the refinery floor, vacuum-sealed airlocks, and maintenance trams running along the exterior of the collider beltway.
