THE SAGITTARIUS ARM  

DAEDALUS SYSTEM  

Janus is a polar locked planet, forever day on one side, and forever night on the other. The "hot" side of Janus is scorched by thermal radiation from Daedalus, uninhabitable and beyond the powers of terraforming. The "cool" side, however, is the ideal temperature for colonization. Janus is the most populous planet outside of Alliance space, the "cool" side covered entirely in a massive urban complex, housing offices for every major corporation and private military group in the galaxy, as well as a thriving service and entertainment industry. It is commonly believed by Alliance officials that Janus is run by the Ouroboros Exchange Company, the planet serving as the staging area for the majority of its illegal operations. OEC is rumored to run rackets throughout the entirety of the planet's habitable area.  

MERAXES SYSTEM  

Demeter is a idyllic, agrarian community under the jurisdiction of the Materiologist Union. The climate and fertility of Demeter's soil allows the MU to produce its own crops and manage its own livestock, allowing them to remain independent and self-sustaining. The majority of the inhabited areas are covered in loosely collected ranches, farmsteads, and hamlets, all heavily guarded due to pirate and slaver activity in the area. Demeter hosts several state of the art medical facilities despite its rural nature, funded and operated by the MU in order to treat Materiologists who have developed conditions related to their abilities.  

THE OUTER ARM  

HORUS SYSTEM  

Oceanus is a planet covered by one giant oceans, thousands of miles deeper than oceans located on Earth or Terra Nova. Despite its apparent lack of land, Oceanus is home to several underwater facilities operated by the Synthetics' Rights Group. The facilities serve as a safe haven for Synthetics fleeing the Animus and a research facility attempting to gain better insight in to the Synthetic mind.  

PAX SYSTEM  

CERIAN SPACE  

THESEUS SYSTEM  

Ceres is a blue planet, covered almost entirely by vast oceans. What little land is available on Ceres is mostly beach and marsh, leaving little room for agricultural growth. As such, life on Ceres, including plant life, lives underwater, though many native species, such as the Cerians, are amphibious. While Cerians were initially opportunistic bands of scavengers trying survive predators on land, the advent of biodome technology allowed the Cerians to construct cities. All Cerian cities, whether on Ceres or colonial, are partially submerged, the water kept out by a kinetically shielded biodome. 

POSEIDON SYSTEM  

Set is, like Caelus, a desert planet, the difference being Set's lack of a thick atmosphere. Solar radiation on the surface is deadly after more than an hour of exposure. Set's massive underground caverns and water reservoirs led to the development of life despite the planet's harsh conditions. Life on Set developed underground, using the massive caverns and the tunnels connecting them to travel the planet. Setian cities on their homeworld are still built underground, despite the ability to make changes to Set's atmosphere, the result of cultural preservation. Setian colonies, however, are built above ground, using Cerian dome technology to filter out solar radiation that would be lethal to Setians. 

MAJOR COLONIES  

CERIAN   Virsok, Haeboln, Taeponi, Aelbana, Zawal, Basan, Aenoln, Raeban 

SETIAN   Vekik, Uson, Yotol, Vuwol, Basok, Rostar  

SYNTHETIC SPACE  

SOL SYSTEM  

Earth has been occupied by the Animus for the better part of three hundred year, as per the agreement made with the machine. Prior to the beginning of the war with the Animus, there was little interest in Earth—most believed it to be a dying world. Recent scans, however, suggest the Animus has completely reconstructed the Earth, using terraforming technology far beyond that of the Alliance species. Preliminary scans also suggest that large parts of the Earth's core and mantle have been replaced with machinery, and massive cities, built over the ruins of those left by humanity, can be seen even from space. It is believed that machinery under the Earth is used to house additional Synthetic platforms and store information obtained during consensus. Synthetic colonies are set up in the same manner, allowing Synthetics to access information and operate more effectively farther away from the Animus. These "server colonies" are heavily guarded, and some have been outfitted with construction facilities to produce additional units.  

HADES SYSTEM  

Planet Genesis is a pre-garden world riddled with seismic and volcanic activity, serving as the home for the first and largest Synthetic processing facility. The facility is heavily guarded by ground, outfitted with several advanced AA towers and kinetic barriers, as well as surrounded by a veritable army of Synthetic combat units. The majority of the Synthetic fleet is stationed at Genesis in preparation for an attack from Caelian space.    

HUMAN SPACE  

PROMETHEUS SYSTEM  

Terra Nova is the first extra solar colony founded by a currently extant species, and since it has become the heart of human space. Terra Nova is an early garden world, its current stage comparable to the Jurassic period on Earth. Aside from differences in topography, slight variations in climate, and unique speciation, Terra Nova is just like Earth. Human cities stretch across vast sections of the planet, but modern construction practices have allowed the environment to remain stable despite supporting a massive population. Human colonies are constructed on similar early to mid-stage garden worlds, using terraforming practices where needed to convert atmospheric compounds. 

ARGYROS SYSTEM  

Perseus Station is the Confederacy of Human Systems' military command outpost, a highly advanced station located a safe distance Argyros. At any given time the station houses more than two million military personnel, from support staff to marines and technicians assigned to the station. Perseus Station features both military defenses and civilian comforts, due to its proximity to neutral space and the length of time people are assigned to the station. Unlike Chronos Station, Perseus Station does not have artificial day and night cycles in place.  

ALLIANCE SPACE  

CHRONOS STATION  

Alliance space is home to Chronos Station, the so-called center of the galaxy and the heart of government in civilized space. Chronos Station is massive, stretching more than 100 kilometers in any direction. In the center lies the massive Biosphere, which provides food for the station, hosts the Alliance Tribunal, the embassies of all Alliance member species, and is home to various major corporations, shops, and restaurants. The Biosphere is programmed with an artificial day and night cycle. Connected to the Biosphere by bridges are the six wards, where the majority of the stations residents live and work.   

Chronos Station boasts several layers of defense. First, the constantly shifting nebulae of the Olympus System make navigating the area difficult without being in contact with Station Control, making a concerted attack nearly impossible to achieve. Furthermore, Chronos Station is surrounded by an asteroid field, nearly impossible to navigate without receiving updated asteroid drift charts from station control. While the station has kinetic barriers strong enough to deflect any asteroids, the vast majority of enemy ships do not. The last layer of defense is the Alliance Fleet, led by the ASV Jupiter. The fleet boasts more than five hundred ships.  

MAJOR COLONIES  Matovo, Ke'raya, Gaitis, Episia, Hadok, Aesall, Lygos, Kyparissos    

ELESMERI SPACE   

STYX SYSTEM  

The cultural center of the Styx System is Elesmere, the home planet of the Elesmeri people. Elesmere is almost entirely tropical, with the exception of the polar caps, the result of its proximity to the white dwarf Styx. Elesmere is covered almost entirely in rain forests, broken only by massive mountain ranges that trap humidity within their valleys. The cities of Elesmere are built above ground, both to prevent damage to the environment and to protect machinery from the humidity at ground level. The cities are constructed in tiers, the largest standing several kilometers above the ground. Elesmerei colonies are typically constructed in tropical locations and often feature the same type of architecture in order to avoid terraforming.  

ARTEMIS SYSTEM  

Physis is a standard garden world covered in dense, temperate deciduous forests. Physis is unique in that it doesn't have oceans, or any salt water, but rather massive fresh water lakes and rivers. Physian cities are built in to their trees, spread over wide areas of forests in order to prevent dense urbanization and overpopulation. Physian colonies are terraformed to match the climate and topography of Physis, the Physians often bringing "starter forests" with them. 

MAJOR COLONIES  

ELESMERI   Nasar, Dantios, Praris, Kesriphea, Vaezha, Radiria, Edari, Vatis 

PHYSIAN   T'erre, Radire, Vaarasha, T'vaora, Ishalra, Thanoala  

CAELIAN SPACE  

AURORA SYSTEM  

The cultural center of the Aurora System is Caelus, the homeworld of the Caelian people. Caelus is a planet covered in massive deserts the size of oceans, with very limited water and other natural resources. Nomadic Caelian warbands and the ruins of old Caelian cities still dot the massive deserts, but the technology given to the Caelians by Humanity has made life on Caelus much easier. Modern Caelian cities are built along the coast, featuring half-domes in order to keep out dry wind from the desert and trap favorable coastal winds. Caelian colonies are constructed in a fairly standard fashion, and are typically the opposite of Caelus in terms of climate.  

HERCULES SYSTEM  

Chloris is a green planet with no oceans, all of its water stored underneath the surface in massive reservoirs. As such, Chloris is home to incredibly diverse plant life, including several species that qualify as both animals and plants. Chlorisian cities are fairly standard, spread out across the planet and densely populated. Chlorisian colonies often undergo extensive terraforming to match the ecology of Chloris, including changes in the atmosphere to ensure the proper amount of sunlight can be obtained.  

MAJOR COLONIES  

CAELIAN   Alria, Jutana, Meria, Tibius, Dectis, Caeltana, Seilea, Valetana
