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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

Chibanzoo

Food and Beverages · Plants

The chibanzoo is a berry that grows in clusters on the chibanzoo plant, and is indigenous to Cassel (Goss II). Wild chibanzoo are often more tart than the commercially grown variety, which is known for its sour and very sweet flavor. In the center of each berry is a cluster of…

Sunset Berry Bush

Plants

The sunset berry bush is a shrub that produces clusters of red-orange berries. Extremely toxic, the berries are tannic and have a bitter flavor, and can cause vomiting and cramping if eaten raw. If fermented, they become very sweet but are much more dangerous to consume. The…

Sky Palm

Plants

The Sky Palm is a genetically modified plant that was created by Rayari Inc to grow on worlds with thick, occlusive atmospheres. With long, thin trunks crowned with clusters of evergreen leaves that resemble large feathers, the sky palm's cell structures were tweaked to absorb a…

Yulin System

The Yulin system is a planetary system in the Banu Protectorate that consists of a G-type main sequence star, an iron planet, three terrestrial planets, an ice giant, a gas giant, and an asteroid cluster. A center of entertainment, it is home to the famed Buloi Sataball Arena,…

Schwester (Chronos II)

Planets

Schwester (Chronos II) is an uninhabitable planet located second from the sun of the Chronos system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). In 2925, a Senate attaché was tasked with creating a progress report on a cluster of harvesting and refining facilities that had been constructed to…

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…

Kabal System

Planetary Systems · Human

The Kabal system is a planetary system in the United Empire of Earth (UEE), composed of an F-type main sequence star, a protoplanet, two terrestrial planets, and an asteroid cluster. In SEY 2941, stellar surveyor Usuni Colo of the Imperial Cartography Center discovered a jump…

Min 1b

Moons

Min 1b is the second moon from the rogue planet Min I in the unclaimed Min system. Unique among known celestial bodies, Min 1b supports life in spite of a total lack of sunlight. The same tidal heating that makes Min 1a violently volcanically active causes geothermal activity on…
