Yulin V

Planets

Yulin V is the fifth planet from the sun of the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. An ice giant, its hydrogen and helium atmosphere contains water, ammonia, and methane ice that combine to give the planet a uniform pale blue color. Its strong equatorial winds feed storm systems…

Tyrol VII

Planets

Tyrol VII is a protoplanet in the unclaimed Tyrol system, and is the outermost planet in the system. In 2943, a widely-reported academic article claimed that Tyrol VII was far enough from its two suns that it had a high chance of remaining out of danger in the event of a nova.…

Kuiper Belt (Sol Belt Beta)

Space

The Kuiper belt (Sol belt beta) is the second asteroid belt from the sun of the Sol system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A circumstellar disc that stretches far beyond the orbit of Neptune (Sol VIII), it consists of a mixture of rocky, icy, and metallic asteroids that are…

Goss I

Planets · Human

Goss I is the first planet from the suns of the Goss system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). The system's breadbasket, much of the planet consists of farmland dedicated to supplying itself and its sister planets with food. Instead of an ocean, it is covered in springs, lakes,…

Gliese II

Planets

Gliese II is the second planet from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. A smog planet, it has a dense, high-pressure atmosphere of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Surface conditions on Gliese II can be hazardous to many spacecraft if they remain there for too long.…

First Sister (Kilian I)

Planets

The First Sister is the first planet of the Kilian system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A massive hot Jupiter streaked with green and yellow, it shares an orbit with two small protoplanets that sit in the L4 and L5 Lagrange points of the First Sister-Kilian system.…

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…

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.…

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…

Hadrian I

Planets

Hadrian I is a gas dwarf in the Hadrian system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). The closest planet to its sun, it has a rocky core and a thick, stormy hydrogen-helium atmosphere with tan and brown-black bands. Astrophysicists believe that Hadrian I became the system's innermost…

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.…

Bruder (Chronos I)

Planets

Bruder is the first planet from the sun in the Chronos system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A mesoplanet, it orbits close enough to the system's sun that landing on the surface without adequate thermal shielding is dangerous. While long-distance scans indicate that valuable…

Able Baker Challenge

Illegal Activity · Sports · Human

The Able Baker Challenge is an unofficial spacecraft racing event held in the Baker system. It makes use of system-specific obstacles to hamper the pilots' efforts in reaching the finish line. Though the use of weapons is allowed during most legs of the race, shooting to kill is…

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…

Oso VI

Planets

Oso VI is a dwarf planet in the Oso system, and is the last planet from its star. Uniform in appearance, its surface is coated in tholin, a hydrocarbon sludge that colors the world dark red and covers up deep layers of methane and water ice. Like neighboring planet Oso V, it is…

Kins Belt Beta

Space

The Kins belt beta is the second asteroid belt in the Kins system, Banu Protectorate. The outermost point in the system, it has traditionally been used as a convenient location to dump unfixable equipment and other types of large waste by spacecraft passing in and out of nearby…

Idris I

Planets

Idris I is a terrestrial planet in the Idris system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Closest in orbit to its system's sun, heat and radiation have eroded the planet's crust and mantle down to its solid iron core. Its surface is covered in extensive mare-like plains and heavy…
