Aberdeen (Stanton 1b)

Moons

Aberdeen, named for the designer of Hurston Dynamics' first antimatter warhead, Aberdeen Hurston, is the second moon of Hurston (Stanton I). It has a thick, hazy atmosphere composed of sulfurous gas that creates low-visibility conditions on the moon's surface, posing a danger to…

Nul II

Planets

Nul II is the second planet from the sun of the unclaimed Nul system. Large and dense, it is composed mostly of iron, and is thought to be the former core of a super-Earth that lost its mantle. While there is no water to be found, there are many lakes on the planet, including…

Charon V

Planets

Charon V is a dwarf planet in the Charon system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Numerous planetary surveys done since the system was discovered have confirmed that there are not enough precious mineral resources to justify the installation of permanent mining operations here.…

Aero (Terra I)

Planets

Aero is a mesoplanet in the Terra system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Orbiting closest to the system's sun, its surface is too dangerous for any Humans to venture upon for any great lengths of time under the limits of current technology. Many attempts have been made by…

Ita (Stanton 1d)

Moons · Human

Ita is the outermost moon of Hurston (Stanton I). Its dusty terrain is dotted with tall rock formations and craters from old meteor impacts. Leadership of Hurston Dynamics chose to name the moon after Chief Warrant Officer Ita Hurston (2512 - 2542) of the United Planets of Earth…

Oberon III

Planets

Oberon III is a protoplanet that orbits third from the star of the unclaimed Oberon system. Alongside its sister protoplanet Oberon IV, it is theorized that it formed in the Oberon system after its original star went supernova and collapsed into a neutron star. However, it…

Second Sister (Kilian II)

Planets

The Second Sister (Kilian II) is a protoplanet in the Kilian system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Misshapen and low in mass, it is theorized that the Second Sister was trapped in the orbit of the First Sister (Kilian I) as it was passing through the system. The UEE Navy uses…

Ellis VIII

Planets

Ellis VIII is a planet in the Ellis system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Cold and desolate, the rolling plains of Ellis VIII are coated in thick layers of nitrogen and water ice supplied by a system of active cryovolcanoes. Off-gassing from this ice has produced a thin…

Ellis 5b

Moons

Ellis 5b is the second moon of Noble (Ellis V), United Empire of Earth (UEE), and is tidally locked to the planet. Nearly three times larger than its sister moon Ellis 5a, the light reflected off its pristine white surface is sometimes bright enough that Ellis 5a becomes…

Caliban V

Planets

Caliban V is the outermost planet from the sun of the Caliban system in Vanduul territory. A protoplanet with a craggy surface, it was considered of little value to the United Empire of Earth(UEE) and was therefore largely ignored. After the Vanduul took the system in SEY 2884,…

Kilian XIV

Planets

Kilian XIV is a protoplanet that orbits furthest from the sun of the Kilian system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Because it is a small, frozen, irregularly-shaped rock without an atmosphere, some astronomers have argued that Kilian XIV should not be counted as a planet, and…

Rhea (Sol 6b)

Moons

Rhea (Sol 6b) is a moon of Saturn (Sol VI), United Empire of Earth (UEE). Composed of water ice and rock, it has numerous high-albedo ice cliffs that appear as streaks on the surface when viewed from space with the naked eye. Although it does experience some endogenic activity…

Vega I

Planets

Vega I is a dwarf planet that orbits closely to the star of the Vega system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Small and very hot with temperatures that often exceed 200 C, Vega I is inhospitable to known forms of life. Its silicate crust covers a solid iron core, making the planet…

Idris II

Planets

Idris II is the second planet from the sun of the Idris system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). It has a dense, volatile, high-pressure atmosphere that consists mainly of carbon dioxide. A layer of highly-reflective clouds of sulfuric acid envelops the planet, preventing its…

Garron IV

Planets

Garron IV is the fourth and final planet from the sun of the Garron system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A cold, barren, and rocky, it is largely undeveloped save for a memorial entitled The Sentinel that was erected by the UEE in memory of the lost civilization on Garron II.…

Ellis VI

Planets

Ellis VI is a terrestrial planet that sits just outside the green band of the Ellis system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Since 2931, it has been used by Humans as an experimental terraforming site for the development of technology that will allow planets far from their system's…

Baker III

Planets

Baker III is an ice giant in the Baker system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). The third planet from the suns, its atmosphere is white with deep veins of blue. Baker III's circumference is actively expanding and therefore has been deemed as a hazard by the UEE Department of…

Kallis I

Planets

Kallis I is a protoplanet in the developing Kallis system. A small mass of matter, it is believed that this protoplanet will eventually coalesce with nearby planetesimals and become a planet. Recent changes in its orbit have pushed it closer to its sun, leading to speculation…

Adir (Pyro 5c)

Moons

Adir is the third moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. Jagged mountains and rocky hills dominate its crater-ridden landscape. Because it lacks a protective atmosphere that would otherwise break apart most approaching celestial objects, its surface sees frequent impacts.…

Calliope (Stanton 4a)

Moons · Human

Calliope is a cold, windy moon of microTech (Stanton IV), named after the mythical muse of epic poetry and eloquence from ancient Earth (Sol III). Due to the high winds and extreme cold, weather suits worn by visitors to the planet are known to fail, particularly on the moon's…

Oberon (Sol 7e)

Moons

Oberon (Sol 7e) is a moon of Uranus (Sol VII), United Empire of Earth (UEE). Slightly red in color, it likely obtained its hue from the accretion of materials from other parts of the Uranus system. Meteorite impacts have also knocked ice from the surface, leaving dark, non-ice…

Corel I

Planets

Corel I is a terrestrial planet that orbits closely to the sun of the Corel system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Parts of the planet's iron core are visible through several deep, enormous holes in the crust and mantle. It is hypothesized that in the distant past, the planet was…

Leir III

Planets · Human

Leir III is the final planet from the sun of the Leir system. A carbon planet, Leir III's surface is a sandy desert partially covered in towering graphite crystals. Its atmosphere of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur, nitrogen, and ozone gives rise to powerful storms. Soon…

Vega 2a

Moons

Vega 2a is a moon of Aremis (Vega II), United Empire of Earth (UEE). Its icy surface, remarkably smooth in some locations, is bright white and highly reflective. Jets of frozen water containing silica and salts that blast from the moon's many cryovolcanoes sometimes escape orbit…
