Bremen IV

Planets

Bremen is the fourth planet from the sun of the Bremen system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). An ice giant, it is largely made up of hydrogen; however, violent weather conditions on the planet create inhospitable conditions for harvesting gas. The people of Rytif (Bremen II)…

Ellis XI

Planets

Ellis XI was a planet in the Ellis system, United Empire of Earth (UEE) that was famously destroyed in 2943 when its moon collided with it. The moon was completely broken up in the impact, and the planet itself splintered, creating an extremely dense debris field.…

Asura (Ferron III)

Planets

Asura is the third planet from the sun in the Ferron system in the United Empire of Earth (UEE). Terraformed shortly after the system's discovery in 2460, the early settlers of Asura generated a great deal of wealth from the planet's rich mineral deposits. Asura became one of…

Cano I

Planets

Cano I is a mesoplanet in the Cano system, United Empire of Earth (UEE), and is tidally locked to its sun. Abundant lava flows have caused crystalline structures to form along the solar terminator. While the formations cannot be easily visited due to Cano I's proximity to its…

Ferron IV

Planets

Ferron IV is a dense gas giant that is located farthest from the sun of the Ferron system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Because it has an especially active electrical field, ships with sensitive avionics are advised not to fly too close to it, lest it cause their systems to…

Corel VI

Planets

Corel VI is a protoplanet located in the outskirts of the Corel system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). In contrast to its sister planets, Corel VI's 12 degree orbital inclination puts it far off from the system's elliptical plane. Outlaw groups attempted to utilize the…

Tamsa II

Planets

Tamsa II is a gas giant in the Tamsa system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Unlike the former rogue planet Tamsa I, it naturally formed in the wide accretion disk that orbits the black hole at the center of the system. The internal heat of Tamsa II is very low, with an upper…

Tamsa I

Planets

Tamsa I is a chthonian planet that orbits the black hole at the center of the Tamsa system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Once a gas giant, it lost its atmosphere via hydrodynamic escape due to proximity to its former star, leaving its dense metallic core intact. Astrophysicists…

Helios III

Planets

Helios III is the third planet from the sun of the Helios system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Massive and hydrogen-rich, it is the main source for hydrogen collection in Helios and is the hub for the system's gas processing and refinement operations. Its atmosphere is…

Saisei (Centauri III)

Planets

Saisei is an inhabited planet in the Centauri system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Its buildings and urban development were designed to exist in harmony with the natural landscape. The environmental laws of Saisei prohibit excessive population growth and tightly control…

Nexus II

Planets

Nexus II is the second planet from the sun of the Nexus system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A world with a dense, nitrogen-rich atmosphere, it was used by the then-United Nations of Earth (UNE) as a testing ground to develop new terraforming technology to use on smog planets.…

Nemo I

Planets

Nemo I is a protoplanet that orbits closest to the star of the Nemo system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). An extremely thin atmosphere of oxygen, sodium, and hydrogen surrounds it, essentially identical to the vacuum of space. In 2407, a scanning device advertised as the…

Fora I

Planets

Fora I is a mesoplanet in the Fora system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A hot, dry planet that closely orbits its sun, temperatures on its surface are dangerously high for most spacecraft. A ridge runs along the equator of Fora I, forming a complex system of peaks. Scientists…

Croshaw I

Planets

Croshaw I is a terrestrial planet with a thick, high pressure-atmosphere that closely orbits the star of the Croshaw system. After its discovery in 2271, some prospectors attempted to establish harvesters on the planet's surface in an effort to gain easy access to…

Vega IV

Planets

Vega IV is the fourth planet from the sun in the Vega system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A gas giant, it has an reddish-brown outer atmosphere made up of hydrogen that is dotted with enormous clouds. Many independently-owned fuel refineries and refueling stations orbit Vega…
