Gliese Cluster Gamma

Space

The Gliese cluster gamma is the farthest asteroid cluster from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. Only sparsely populated with asteroids, it sees little traffic in comparison with the alpha and beta belts. Some smaller Soulis have made a go of mining the cluster,…

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…

Henge Cluster (Terra Cluster Alpha)

Space

The Henge cluster (Terra cluster alpha) is an asteroid field located between the third and fourth planets from the sun in the Terra system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). High in metallic asteroids, much of the cluster has already been claimed by various major mining…

Gliese I

Planets

Gliese I is the first planet from the sun of the Gliese system Banu Protectorate. An iron planet with a superheated ferromagnetic core that is partially exposed to vacuum, its intensely hot conditions make landing on its surface nearly impossible without specialized technology.…

Daedalus Cluster (Croshaw Cluster Beta)

Space

The Daedalus cluster (Croshaw cluster beta) is an asteroid cluster that shares an orbit with the Icarus cluster (Croshaw cluster alpha) in the Croshaw system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Dense and initially resource rich, the cluster has supported generations of miners in…

Icarus Cluster (Croshaw Cluster Alpha)

Space

The Icarus cluster (Croshaw cluster alpha) is an asteroid cluster that orbits the system's sun beyond the orbit of Croshaw IV. Soon after Humans began to colonize Croshaw in the late 2200s, independent miners established themselves in the cluster and began to harvest its…

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.…

Gliese V

Planets

Gliese V is the fifth planet from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. Clouds of water vapor float in the upper reaches of its hydrogen-methane atmosphere, creating bands of white, light grey, and dark grey. Human-owned corporation Terragra uses Gliese V as the…

Gliese VI

Planets

Gliese VI is the sixth and final planet from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. A protoplanet, it is oblate in shape and has no atmosphere. An unknown Souli built a statue of Cassa, the Patron of Luck here in roughly SEY 2200 CE, according to carbon dating. New…

Gliese III

Planets

Gliese III is the third planet from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. A terrestrial world with an unbreathable atmosphere, it is dotted with various Soulis engaged in a wide variety of trades, from farming to mining to manufacturing. Each Souli is located within a…

Nogo (Gliese IV)

Planets

Nogo (Gliese IV) is the fourth planet from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. A lush, temperate planet with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and a variety of climates, it is nonetheless avoided by the Banu. It is unclear why Banu refuse to live there, especially in…

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…

Gliese Belt Alpha

Space

The Gliese belt alpha is the first asteroid belt from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. Packed with valuable ores and minerals, it is an active mining site and is home to countless Soulis engaged in mining, shipping, processing, or protecting resources. Some…

Yulin Cluster Alpha

Space

The Yulin cluster alpha is an asteroid cluster in the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. Located in one of the Lagrange points in the orbit of Yulin IV, it is a dense nest of irregularly-shaped asteroids that is often used as an obstacle course in starship races. Seeing an…

Kabal Cluster Alpha

Space

The Kabal cluster alpha is an asteroid cluster found in the Kabal system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Rich in minerals, there is evidence that the Tevarin mined ores and metals there, but stopped when they abandoned the system at some point before 2541. They left some of their…

Gliese System

Planetary Systems · Banu

The Gliese system is a planetary system in the Banu Protectorate that consists of a type-A main sequence star, three terrestrial planets, one smog planet, one gas giant, one protoplanet, an asteroid cluster, and two asteroid belts. A bustling hub of commerce and cultural…

Mustang Gamma

Spacecraft · Human

The Mustang Gamma is a variant of the Mustang civilian spacecraft developed by Consolidated Outland. The first racer variant of the Mustang, it was later followed by the limited edition Mustang Omega. Consolidated Outland engineers reduced the overall weight of the base model…

The Coil

Space

The Coil is an energy phenomenon that exists in the unusually dense asteroid cluster that closely orbits the white dwarf Odin. Scientists speculate that the Coil phenomenon was created in the aftermath of the star Odin's collapse into a white dwarf. Sometimes called a storm in…

Lyris Flotilla

Settlements

The Lyris flotilla is a vast interconnected network of spacecraft and space stations that orbits the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. Located in orbit around Nogo (Gliese IV), it is the main trade hub in Gliese, and is home to a dense population of Banu. While the…
