+++PLANETARY DATAFAX+++
Phaegis is a pleasant colony world well beyond the sector proper, pushed up against the rolling warp storms to Trailing of the Reach. Ten million or so people were settled here half a century ago, and according to early reports, they found the world most agreeable.
That was before the terrible truth was revealed: once you've settled on Pahegis, you cannot leave. There is something about the planet that binds you to it. If you leave, you get ill, and then you die. Is it a curse? A disease? Something altogether different? No one knows, despite attempts to find out why.
The planetary population has doubled since first settlement, but for all intents and purposes, it's isolated from the rest of the galaxy.
