The Eve Cemetery

With cloning technology, life is cheap. Death is even cheaper. No-one is that bothered about getting killed, as it's not perma-death.

So, corpses from ruptured pods are spread all over the galaxy until the harshness of space breaks them down, they fall into orbit of a celestial object, or are just blown up for a laugh.

Thus, the thought of a final resting place for corpses seemed a little... pointless. Until someone did it, and now it's done, it's suddenly a nice idea!

In the orbit of Molea II, in Khanid, a pod pilot called Azia Burgi has created a cemetery for the corpses of fellow pod-pilots, regardless of race or affiliation. She has catalogued the corpse names, here. There are approx. 200+ small secure cans that the corpses are stored in, to be kept forever.

As I had to collect a ship in deepest Khanid, I swung by to see for myself. Molea is a quiet system, so it seemed an appropriate final resting place for many corpses.



The dots are the cans

After a moment of quiet introspection, I headed back to Taisy.
