Kellog System

Planetary Systems

The Kellog system is a protected planetary system that consists of a G-type main sequence star, five terrestrial planets, and one gas dwarf. Discovered in SEY 2811 by navjumper Patek Coen, initial surveys revealed that Kellog II was home to a sapient species, and the system was…

Fuego (Pyro 5e)

Moons

Fuego is the fifth moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. Relatively temperate but still cold, it has a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere with small percentages of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and oxygen. High amounts of iron-sulfide in its soil gives its surface a yellow and…

Kallis VIII

Planets

Kallis VIII is the seventh planet from the sun of the developing Kallis system. An ice giant, it is composed of hydrogen, helium, and volatile icy compounds. In contrast to its neighboring planet Kallis VII, which began its life in the outer reaches of the Kallis system, it most…

Nyx III

Planets

Nyx III, an ice giant, is the most distant planet from the sun of the Nyx system. Its stormy atmosphere is composed mainly of ammonia and water vapor, and an ocean of supercritical water surrounds the planet's rocky core. High, dangerous winds make it difficult for pilots to fly…

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.…

Genesis II

Planets

Genesis II is a terrestrial planet in the developing Genesis system. Situated in the temperate green band around its star, it has oceans of liquid water interspersed with thickly forested continents. It was declared a protected planet under the Fair Chance Act (FCA) the same…

Genesis III

Planets

Genesis III is an ice giant in the developing Genesis system. Located beyond the frost line, it has an upper atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, and a mantle composed of volatile chemical compounds such as ammonia, methane, and water in a supercritical fluid state. Ranging in…

Tamsa System

Planetary Systems · Human

The Tamsa system is a planetary system in the United Empire of Earth (UEE). Uniquely among UEE systems, its two planets revolve around a black hole rather than a star. The innermost world is thought to have been a rogue planet before it was captured by the black hole, while the…

QuarterDeck (Kellog VI)

Planets

QuaterDeck (Kellog VI) is the sixth planet from the sun of the Fair Chance Act (FCA)-protected Kellog system. Named for the maximum security prison located on its surface, it is covered with ice and is inhospitable to Human life outside environmentally-controlled facilities. An…

Nyx I

Planets

Nyx I is a coreless planet that orbits closest to the sun in the Nyx system. Once considered impossible to terraform due to the presence of irremovable chemicals in its atmosphere, Nyx I has been in the process of terraformation since SEY 2954 thanks to a new type of technology…

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…

Genesis I

Planets

Genesis I is a mesoplanet in the developing Genesis system. Because it lacks a protective atmosphere, its surface is pockmarked with thousands of craters caused by meteorite bombardment, and its core is partially exposed. In 2933, the observation station Lalahon located in the…

Oretani V

Planets

Oretani V is the fifth planet from the sun of the lost Oretani system. The largest planet in the system, it is also believed to be the oldest, and likely formed beyond the frost line over the course of three to four million years. Turiya Terraforming had outlined plans to build…

Kallis V

Planets

Kallis V is a terrestrial planet in the developing Kallis system. The fifth planet from its sun, it lacks geological activity and appears to have reached the final stages of its formation. It is surrounded by a wide disk of planetesimals and dust that are likely to be remains…

Mya (Leir II)

Planets

Mya is the second planet from the sun of the Leir system. Although it was discovered in 2677, it remained undeveloped until 2743, when Galor Messer IX sold the terraforming and mining rights of Leir II to Hatfield & Harding to fund his long-term project to redesign UEE…

Vatra (Pyro 5b)

Moons

Vatra is the second moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. Its thick, high-pressure atmosphere of nitrogen and methane supports an ecosystem of plants that subsist on hydrocarbons instead of carbon dioxide. Some water is present on Vatra in the form of ice, but it is too…

Oretani VI

Planets

Oretani VI is the sixth planet from the sun of the lost Oretani system. Located on the very outskirts of the system, the planet has an orbit that takes thousands of days to complete. Oretani VI is largely dark red in color, caused by the presence of a hydrocarbon sludge on its…

Kallis VII

Planets

Kallis VII is the seventh planet from the sun of the Kallis system. A young gas giant, it formed in the outer parts of the system during the star's stellar nebula phase, where it collected enough mass to attract huge amounts of hydrogen and helium gas over the relatively rapid…

Pyro IV

Planets

Pyro IV is the outermost moon ofPyro V, and astronomers theorize that it was once the fourth planet from the sun of the Pyro system. At some point before Humans discovered Pyro, a massive celestial body collided with Pyro IV, catastrophically warping its landscape, destroying…

Oso IV

Planets

Oso IV is a terrestrial planet in the Oso system, and is the fourth planet from its sun. Lacking a core, it has an undifferentiated interior that is rich in a wide variety of minerals. Soldiers from the nearby United Empire of Earth UEE) Army observation base Chimera must keep…

Gliese Belt Beta

Space

The Gliese belt beta is the second belt from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. Located between Nogo (Gliese IV) and Gliese V, it is packed with ancient outposts and abandoned rigs, left there from an earlier period in which resources were abundant. It is a popular…

Oretani II

Planets

Oretani II is the second planet from the sun of the lost Oretani system. An ocean world with small land masses, it was located on the system's green band, and had been chosen as a prime candidate for future settlement. Turiya Terraforming took on the task of making the planet…
