Vesuvian Dragon
Located on planet Vesuvian Dragon, New Pompeii System, Cacayakoi Cluster Region, Beta Quadrant, Euclid Galaxy, Vesuvian Dragon is a monument to a Korvax scientist named Jonete-Aixo who crashed landed on the planet while conducting a scientific exploration mission. The inhabitants of the planet, the Vesuvians, were a primitive race who lived in fear of the massive fire breathing dragons they called Galaurung that were common on the planet and would hunt and eat them. The Vesuvians considered Jonete-Axio a godlike deity who fell from the stars. With his advanced knowledge Jonete-Axio decided to help quell the threat of the Galaurung by making a airborne virus that would de-evolve their DNA into making them passive fauna. With salvaged items from his wrecked starship Jonete-Axio constructed a balloon loaded with canisters that contained the airborne virus which was launched and attacked by a Galaurung which quickly became infected and spread the virus to the other dragons. The fast acting virus quickly altered the dragons DNA who lost their ability to fly and breathe fire. They subsequently became docile and their diets became strictly flora. Jonete-Axio eventually repaired his ship and went back to his scientific mission but he left the Vesuvians new knowledge to expand their civilization. In his honor they erected a dragon monument to pay tribute. They also left behind clues via message modules to find a hidden treasure vault. This site is now a tourist attraction after the Vesuvians became extinct due to the hostile planet becoming more volcanic and its deadly storms.
Visitors can tour the dragon monument (be wary of a booby trap), see the Galaurung Volcano up close with the observation platforms and experience the thrill of standing in a middle of a eruption with out any heat damage. Follow the clues to locate and open the Treasure Vault. Reach the hidden throne room and beating heart. Try to locate the nearby mountaintop monolith.
We hope you enjoy your visit.

Running a fan website for the No Man’s Sky community has been one of the best experiences in my life. What started out as a personal hobby back in late 2017 has blossomed into an international gaming website used by thousands of people every day! It’s been incredibly fun to provide this service to the dedicated fans of No Man’s Sky and I hope to keep the momentum going.
What some might not know is that I this built this website myself, pay for all the server hosting, domain name registration and on-going maintenance out of my own pocket. The Portal Repository is a passion project and I’m a one-man-band running everything behind-the-scenes. In early 2019 the site quickly outgrew the tiny server it was hosted on and I had to scale up to a more expensive server in order to keep up with the increased traffic. With the release of No Man’s Sky: Origins I am once again facing the need to scale up the hosting servers in order to accommodate the higher traffic.
In order to help cover the costs of hosting I made the difficult decision last year to begin serving ads on this website. This was a difficult decision because I personally hate internet ads. They’re annoying, intrusive and unsightly. But, they also pay the bills.
If you’re a fan of The Portal Repository and want to help keep it online there are a few different ways you can support this website:
As Patreon support increases I will scale back ads on this site. Here’s how it works:
$25/mo on Patreon = 25% reduction in ads
$50/mo on Patreon = 50% reduction in ads
$100/mo on Patreon = 75% reduction in ads
$200/mo on Patreon = 100% of ads removed
Finally, I’d like to thank everyone who has donated, bought merch or been a Patreon supporter over the past few years. In particular I’d like to give a shout out to the seven people who are still Patreon supporters today:
The planets are diverse. Ruleign is lava, Ritonhalc is frost. Layout Gamma is miasma. Hylulipol IV is shell strewn. And Agitts XV is xeno-colony. First upload.
