Tarin Sink
(1432 Corridor,
0602 Ashishinipar; DAE3301-6)
Tarin Sink
is an Imperial client state
and site of Corridor Research
Station Epsilon. The planet was colonized by nine extended
families
during the wave of spinward
expansion
in the late 300s. Most of Tarin Sink's modern inhabitants
are their descendants.
Later, the Imperium
constructed a separate facility staffed by its own personnel.
This station
grew until it was officially designated Research Station Epsilon.
Epsilon
serves as a clearinghouse for unexplained phenomena. Within it
are records
of bizzare happenings and mysterious relics dating back tens or
hundreds
of millenia. Untranslated non-human
accounts and strange engines predating the First
Imperium await the person able to read or operate them.
Many items in the station's collection are so odd that
they are freely displayed to the public, although Tarin Sink's
position
within the Great Rift
limits
the number of visitors. Imperial
researchers, completely baffled by these objects, hope that
someday,
someone will pass through the station who can shed some light on these
mysteries.
