Taranis Belt Alpha

Space

The Taranis belt alpha is the first of the unclaimed Taranis system's asteroid belts. Densely packed with asteroids, frequent collisions occur that eject dust, rocks, and other material into the already crowded area. As a consequence, travel there can be treacherous, and there…

Oretani I

Planets

Oretani I is a mesoplanet in the lost Oretani system. In a close orbit around its star, it has extreme temperature differences between night and day. Before the jump point collapsed, Turiya Terraforming had started construction on a temporary underground base to keep their…

Tanga I

Planets

Tanga I is a chthonian planet in the unclaimed Tanga system. Dense and metallic, it was once the core of a gas giant and has high gravity in spite of its relatively small size. When its sun expanded into its red giant phase, its newly close proximity to the star's surface…

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.…

Centauri I

Planets

Centauri I is a protoplanet in the Centauri system, United Empire of Earth (UEE) that orbits very close to its sun. Surveyor Kelly Alden captured an image of Centauri I in 2639 through her ship's camera, capturing the protoplanet in the path of a blue-white prominence that seems…

Oberon VI

Planets

Oberon VI is a gas dwarf that orbits sixth from the neutron star of the unclaimed Oberon system. Its white, blue, and pale-pink banded atmosphere of hydrogen and helium hides a rocky core covered with ammonia and water ice. Conditions deep within the planet are too high-pressure…

Kallis III

Planets

Kallis III is a terrestrial planet in the developing Kallis system that shares an orbit with another planet, Kallis II. More massive than its sibling planet, it is also accruing matter at a higher rate, and is expected to continue increasing in size. Observing scientists believe…

Kins I

Planets

Kins I is the first planet from the sun of the Kins system, Banu Protectorate. A mesoplanet with an iron-rich crust, it has been extensively mined and bears the scars of ancient strip-mining operations. Visitors to the planet have been known to utilize its myriad abandoned…

Kilian X

Planets

Kilian X is a dwarf planet in the Kilian system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Tiny and frigid, nitrogen and methane ice coats the planet's surface, peppered with craters and cracks. Since SEY 2941, mineral rights to Kilian X have been tied up in UEE courts, so no industries…

Corel V

Planets

Corel V is a gas giant in the Corel system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A brown and red gas giant with a stormy atmosphere, it is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with a solid rocky core. It is a popular spot for young pilots in Corel to learn how to slingshot their…

Elysium V

Planets

Elysium V is a dwarf planet that orbits farthest from the sun of the Elysium system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Although its surface is barren, the crust is rich in water ice, most densely at the poles. Highly reflective patches of frozen brine can be observed twinkling from…

Akiro Cluster (Pyro Cluster Alpha)

Space

The Akiro cluster (pyro cluster alpha) is a dense asteroid cluster on the Pyro system. Situated in the L3 Lagrange point of Pyro I, the asteroids periodically move closer to the planet or farther away from it as they travel around their sun. Most were stripped of their most…

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…

Glaciem Ring (Nyx Belt Alpha)

Space

The Glaciem ring (Nyx belt alpha) is a dense asteroid belt located between the second and third planets in the Nyx system. Outlaw raids in Nyx are believed to operate out of bases established within the depths of the belt. The largest settlement in the Glaciem ring, Levski, is…

Kilian VIII

Planets

Kilian VIII is a smog planet in the Kilian system, United Empire of Earth (UEE) that appears to be covered in a tropical ocean made of water. However, the liquid of the planet is a mix of hot, high-density, and volatile fluids. Due to the high-pressure atmosphere and the danger…

Bombora (Ellis X)

Planets

Bombora (Ellis X) is a gas giant with a stormy atmosphere in the Ellis system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Hydrogen and helium are abundant on Bombora, but due to its turbulent winds, harvesting resources from it is a challenging affair. It was nicknamed bombora after a Human…

Fora V

Planets

Fora V is an ice giant in the Fora system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Its thick ammonia and water atmosphere is pale blue with bands of darker blue. Lacking a solid surface, its core is composed of iron and nickel, and it has a mantle rich in ammonia, methane, and water. Deep…

Garron I

Planets

Garron I is the first planet from the sun of the Garron system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A terrestrial planet, its proximity to its star has led to the formation of vast seas of lava. As it rotates on its axis, cycling through day and night, the dark side of the surface…

Pi'tua (La'uo I)

Planets · Xi'an

Pi'tua (La'uo I) is the first planet from the sun of the La'uo system, Xi'an Empire (SaoXy'an). A chthonic planet, it was the core of a hot Jupiter until the surface of the red giant it orbits expanded. Most of its atmosphere has evaporated, and what little remains continues to…
