Prophets Retreat

[Moyocoya]

I've found the Gaïa planet "Prophet Retreat". According to what I have read in this forum this is a trap and colonizing this planet will launch a 15k+ fleet against me.
I therefore have two questions :
- may I build a starbase in its system ?
- will it be possible to colonize the planet later when I'll be strong enough ? I mean no other surprise ?

As long as it is not directly adjacent to a different Fallen Empire (the fanatic xenophobes), it will be safe to build a starbase in the system.

There are ways to gain permission from the Fallen Empire who guards it to colonize it. There are ways to defeat the Fallen Empire who guards it and take it despite their objections. It's also possible to leave them alone for the entire game.

Edit: When you do eventually settle them, there is a chance of random events happening just like any other time you colonize a planet. But there is no specific event chain waiting to get you. By the time you can do it, you will have a clearer understanding of who guards it and why.

It amongst several others is a Holy world designated by a symbol in the planetary effects. someone will be very upset if you set foot on it and would bet the fleet reaction to be severely underestimated.

Thank you for your answers. I'll keep my hands off this planet. I just want to build a starbase in its system in order to avoid someone else controlling it, if ever I decide later to do something with it.
