The “Place of Dreaming Spirits” is tucked into the embrace of a lush, horseshoe-shaped bay formed by an ancient caldera, Namoehane Bay is *Nexine’s crown jewel of luxury and tranquility. Located on the leeward side of a long-extinct volcano, the resort enjoys a stable, balmy climate with filtered sunlight and constant, gentle breezes that keep the air fresh without overwhelming gusts. The low UV index allows for long hours under the sun without the risk seen on harsher worlds. | The “Place of Dreaming Spirits” is tucked into the embrace of a lush, horseshoe-shaped bay formed by an ancient caldera, Namoehane Bay is *Nexine’s crown jewel of luxury and tranquility.

Though Nexine’s main starport is located thousands of kilometers away, Namoehane’s extinct volcanic crater has been engineered into a private landing zone. The crater’s bowl is large enough to receive ships up to 400 dtons, and hardened pads provide secure mooring against weather shifts. Fuel (both refined and unrefined) is available via undersea pumping stations that connect to an automated refinery hidden below the caldera lake. | Though Nexine’s main starport is located thousands of kilometers away, Namoehane’s extinct volcanic crater has been engineered into a private landing zone.
