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…

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…

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…

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…

Yulin I

Planets

Yulin I is the first planet from the sun of the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. Orbiting very close to its sun, its lithosphere has been mostly worn away after eons of exposure to stellar wind and radiation. The surface of the planet is heavily cratered, resulting from…

Spacecraft Races of Yulin

Sports · Banu

The Yulin system is home to many spacecraft races (Banu: eponatae fodai) run by the BanuSouli that make their homes there. Yulin IV is the Banu's preferred racetrack, as the myriad natural formations create the most exciting and dangerous routes. Crashes are not uncommon.…

Yulin Flotilla

Settlements · Banu

The Yulin flotilla is a gathering of semi-permanent ships and space stations located in the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. Situated in one of the Lagrange points of Yulin II, it is a nexus of commerce, entertainment, and vice. Various Soulis that specialize in gambling,…

Yulin III

Planets

Yulin III is the third planet from the sun of the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. Located on the outer edge of the habitable zone, it is cold but temperate enough to be habitable for Banu. However, its ammonia oceans and high-pressure, methane-rich atmosphere make it…

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…

Yulin VI

Planets

Yulin VI is the sixth planet from the sun of the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. A gas giant, its atmosphere is almost entirely composed of hydrogen, making it a popular hub for automated refineries and refueling stations. This has additionally attracted outlaws who have been…

Yulin II

Planets

Yulin II is the second planet from the sun of the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. A smog planet, it has a deadly but prismatic atmosphere that shimmers with many colors under the light of its star. It is a popular subject of photography among tourists. Postcards,…

Yulin IV

Planets

Yulin IV is the fourth planet from the sun of the Yulin system, Banu Protectorate. Tectonic activity on this world has raised towering pillars of rock with natural windows caused by constantly-shifting wind patterns. The Banu in the system utilize these natural formations as…

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,…
