β β Biosphere: - Engineered -
β β Population: 227 Mill.
β β Tech level: - 4: Postech -
β β ==============================================================
β β Pre-silence Xana was allocated as an imperial Penal colony.
β β As a result of this purpose, Xana was set up to be much more
β β self-sufficient than other comparable worlds, and therefore
β β suffered much less the shortages of the silence.
β β From it's very inception, the colony has been dedicated
β β to studying and improving the ecology of Xana, as she has
β β significant parts of her orbital periode where the average
β β temperature drops significantly planet wide. These efforts
β β have lead to a lot of the agricultural innovations underpinning
β β Mefosian food supply, and the continued maintainance and engine-
β β ering of Xana's biosphere remains the great generational
β β project of her inhabitants.
β β While there have been repeated talks about potential pardons
β β for the Xanacian people, and the details surounding the formations
β β of the penal program have been largely lost following the disolution
β β of the Xana Penal Administration some time during the silence,
β β they remain, technically, inmates of the Imperial Mandate.

β β β ==============================================================
β β β Polomos is best known for it's surviving orbital ring and
β β β millitary industrial complex. While few of the ring segments have
β β β survived the silence unharmed, several shipyard segments have been
β β β brought online with the help of large Mefosan defense contracts.
β β β The surface of Polomos is designated a military operations zone
β β β and is nearly uninhabited outside the few operational elevator
β β β sites, mining towns and millitary sites required to support
β β β the ring.
β β β Beyond the dearing Polomosian commando teams, and the occational
β β β daredevil biologist or nature documentary, few see any point in
β β β risking the featureless, snowball surface of Polomos, not to
β β β mention filling out mountain of paperwork required.

β β ==============================================================
β β Alva is a medieval world most notable for being the location of
β β the many reality tv media franshises of the AURORA Media Group.
β β Due to the success of the "Alva-Verse", Alva is technically the
β β most fameout planet of the sector, and the planet with the highest
β β number of celebrities per population.
β β As a result of the AURORA-Ruti joint Entertaimnet Zone (AREZ),
β β any trespassing on or near Alva is highly illegal, and enforced
β β by the AURORA-Ruti Corporate Undertaking of Security (ARCUS).
β β Critics have raised several questions concerning the ethics of
β β clandestine mass surveillance and lack of informed concent and
β β compensation for Alvas inhabitants, though no internal AREZ
β β audits have reported any illegal conduct.

β Tech level: - 4: Pretech -
β ==============================================================
β Once a hospitable planet in Ruti's goldilock zone, Naja has at some
β point in her recent past been ejected into a much wider orbit.
β While her fields of frozen oxygen and nitogen, and lakes of liquid
β helium are of some industrial interest, lack of demand has prevented
β any large scale industry from taking foot, and Naja is best known
β for her resorts, retreats, casinos and entertainment facilities.
β As a result of the AURORA-Ruti joint Entertaimnet Zone (AREZ), Naja
β enjoys a high degree of corporate independence, and is the only planet
β recieving live coverage of the "Alva-Verse".
β Naja also hosts the main offices of AURORA Media Group, and
β the part of the population that is not part of the tourism sector
β are nearly all AURORA media staff or executives.

β β Tech level: - 4: Postech -
β β ==============================================================
β β A center of industry, Ellis has long served as the productivity
β β backbone of the local cluster.
β β The buildup of toxic pollutants in the atmosphere has lead to
β β widespread cybernetics use in Ellis's population.
β β Some of the sectors largest, and oldest, shipyards are on Ellis.
β β Due to it's industrial importance, Ellis has been declared

β β Population: ~9000
β β Tech level: - 5: PosTech -
β β ==============================================================
β β Clytea is a large planet caught very closely to the system star.
β β It's thick, stratified atmosphere creates an extreme greenhouse
β β effect on it's surface, that can sometimes reach the 500Β°C's.
β β The existance of a breathable, oxygen rich atmosphere has been
β β a mystery since it's re-discovery.
β β Clytea is known as the landing site for anyone who wants to
β β travel to or from the new frontier.
β β They say engineers from Polomos came and repaired the ancient
β β flying city that is now used to house the entierty of the
β β planets population, as well as state of the art spaceports

β β Population: 0*
β β Tech level: - 2: Indusrial* -
β β ==============================================================
β β While Astynar may appear hospitable from orbit, the surface
β β conditions are far from it. Astynar is dominated by incredibly
β β hostile bioforms including; multi-storey arthropodal apex
β β peredators, hyper allergens lethal to human immune systems,
β β cloud sized swarms of flesh eating insectoids, and carpets
β β of slime-mold-like microbial scavangers.
β β No human settlement are known to have lasted more than 3 months.
β β Due to it's hostile ecology, Astynar has gotten the nickname
β β of "Styx", and is sometimes used in advertisements for survival
β β gear, ruggedized equipment, emergency response services.
β β Some pre-scream records indicates that Astynar was much less
β β hostile in it's recent past.

β β Population: 218 Mill.
β β Tech level: - 3: Information -
β β ==============================================================
β β Limero recieves very little sunlight and would have been a dead
β β world if it was not for the tidal heating keeping it's atmosphere
β β from freezing in large "hot zones" around geothermal nodes.
β β Significant alien ruins can be found under the ice of Limero,
β β and it is theorized that the existance of a breathable atmosphere
β β is at least in part due to artificial intervention in Limeros past.
β β Limero hosts two primary populations; religious refugees/pioneers
β β and corporate mining and research population centers. These
β β settlements are useually dug in near geotermal hot zones and
β β survive by mining and exporting raw materials like chlorine ice,
β β liquid oxygen, other elements and alien artifiacts.

β ==============================================================
β Teetering at the very egde of the sphere of influence of it's
β star, Pas is a remote iceball with a completely frozen surface.
β Little is known about the ecology of Pas, but the existance of
β a planet-spanning, underground, liquid sea has been verified by
β early industry-viability probes.
β It is unknown what kind of mechanism is keeping the sea liquid,
β though the most likely cause is the residual heat of a particularly
β hot, and slow-cooling planetary core.
β Pas currently do not host any human populations, though some remains
β of orbital pre-scream presence has been found.

β β Population: ~6000
β β Tech level: - 3: Digital -
β β ==============================================================
β β Al-Owar is a dry, airless planet covered with rust-red regolith.
β β Despite this, Al-Owar has suprisingly robust micro-ecosystems.
β β Several instances of life have been observed across the barren
β β surface, some of which are able to host complex life and food
β β chains.
β β Most efforts to colonize Al-Owar has been unsucesfull; the lack
β β of essential resources like water and metals have proved too much
β β for even the toughest pioneer willing to brave the airless and
β β scorching planet.
β β Several outposts have been registered to Al-Owar since
β β records were first gathered, and while many of them have been
β β verified as abandoned since, a few have endured, being reported
β β as active several times.

β β Tech level: - No Data -
β β ==============================================================
β β Campo is dominated by an incredibly thick and toxic atmosphere.
β β Attempts to explore the surface have been largely unsucesfull
β β as intense atmosphic storms make remote exploration unfeasable,
β β and manned expiditions have not returned.
β β Recently uncovered pre-silence records indicate that campo

β Tech level: - 3: Digital -
β ==============================================================
β Megeno has the coldest gaseous atmosphere on record. It is not
β known what mechanism is preventing the atmosphere from freezing
β into a solid form, but it is well known that if a suitable
β nucleation site is provided, the atmosphere will crash out of
β its gaseous phase and form into jagged, steel hard deposits
β known to be able to rip ships and suits apart.
β Despite this, Megeno's close positon to the spike lanes of an
β otherwise sparse system has made it into a natural pit-stop for
β travellers and spacers passing throuhg the Maja system.
β Using energy harvested from the phase change of the atmosphere,
β Megenols have been able to sustain bubble cities that host
β breathable atmospheres and tolerable temperatures.
β Some Megenol bubble cities are also able to clear flight paths
β though the atmosphere through cloud seeding, and maintain
β state of the art flight control services to help ships
β planetside for Majas most protected and secure markets.
