According to a poster below the OP, the above is concept art for Armitage, aka Orion III. Everything from the concept art to the backstory is fantastic.

Galactapedia wrote:Armitage is the third planet from the sun in the Orion system. It was a terraformed and settled planet which became the site of first contact between Humans and the Vanduul in 2681, when a Vanduul raiding party razed the settlement of Dell Township. Before the Orion system was lost to the Vanduul in 2712, Armitage was a fast-developing colony world of the United Empire of Earth (UEE).

Star Citizen Wiki wrote:Armitage consists of bleak, windswept plains pockmarked with the after-affects of Vanduul antimatter bombardment weaponry: blast craters and radioactive zones. Ironically, the ferocity of their attacks completely eliminated the new-gnu herds they once hunted on the planet... which, in turn, reduced the frequency of subsequent Vanduul visits to the system. A few abandoned farm modules still stand and the skeletons of several human cities still exist in the form of wreckage overtaken by natural vegetation. Occasional Vanduul settlement sites can also be found, although there is little of interest beyond the curiosity implicit in standing where one of mankind's deadliest enemies once cooked dinner.

The planet is home to a small settlement of humans. Living underground, they are the descendants of colonists who refused to leave when the UEE vacated. A hardy people, they are extremely insular and self-sufficient; they have little regard for the Empire and almost no interest in trading. It is possible to sell basic substance items, but without a great deal of markup. Luxury goods are worthless here and nothing is available for sale.
