Solar Leech
Summary
Stars are hot. Two stars are hotter. Where they meet is often the hottest. This point of space has become the focus for the Inex corporation's expansion into this carefully balanced, dying system.Where two stars once stood separate one will someday stand. Estimates range from millions to billions of years in the future, but in the end the scientific arguments of when it will happen are unimportant, what is important is what Inex hopes to earn from studying this natural occurrence up-close.
Money, the root of any company's actions. The risk of colonizing this volatile system was a calculated one in hope of stumbling upon a technological breakthrough that would send the company's stock price sky-high. Inex uses this leech area, a crucible of raw, untold power to test, break, and re-engineer its shielding technologies.
Over the course of its time here Inex has been able to tap the power of the stars to not only fuel, but to stress-test its designs to great success. Unlike its shady, now defunct, rival Ucual Corporation, Inex continues to expand its system and the use of the deadly solar leech.

On the Inex outpost the solarium allows for viewing of the Leech at almost all times, with digital viewing windows allowing for pigment shifts and graphical enhancement of the already gorgeous display of cosmic power.Often Inex will invite a prominent artist from afar to come and weave an intricate, if short-lived, piece upon the digital glass work to compliment the solar leech.
