The Sciron Mining Outpost

Description

Located on the planet Theseus, this abandoned mining outpost sits at the base of the red cliffs on the edge of the Dancing Dune Expanse. Originally a corporate-run iridium mine, it was abandoned after the iridium surveys turned out to be exaggerated. The desert winds and frequent sandstorms have since ravaged the facility, eroding massive holes throughout the structure. The sound of the wind whipping through these holes has led to local nomads giving it a new name, the Howling Mine of the Red Cliffs.
Given the shelter and shade they provide from the savage desert weather, such places do not stay abandoned for long, and there are numerous instances where nomads claim to have heard unearthly howling from the mines when no wind was blowing....

"Such as?"

 

"Uh... his sidearm, a hand, and one of his legs..."

 

Your description is so atmospheric, it gave me more chills than the image you created!:fear:
