Alpha Avior System
Made of four main 'habitable' planets and their moons, this system is surrounded on all sides by rings of asteroid clusters. Because it is relatively destructive and hazardous to organics, only artificial and inorganic life is allowed within its borders. Mergha is the only semi-breathable atmosphere within Neo-Terran territories.
Geography
Alpha Avior A: White-Blue Star
Class O, Fuel Scoopable. Very rare.Diadem: Crystal Planet
A planet made entirely of what Neo Terran scientists are calling Transpicuous Crystal, which inwardly radiates and absorbs heat from their core star. Because of this, this planet is extremely hot. Diadem has no moons, but five cities named after precious gems.Sharatan: Desert Planet
A desert planet, hot and dry, with high winds blowing vicious sandstorms more than 60% of the time. Sharatan man city is built underground to escape the heat and wind, although it's port lies on the surface as short, squat buildings to withstand the storms. Sharatan has three moons with similar purpose.- Barron: A rocky planetoid that serves as Sharatan's manufacturing base. It is the largest.
- Wale: A mining rock, filled with valuable metals closer to its core than its surface. Mining here is slow and careful.
- Kipli: Another mining moon, which has been mostly stripped near the surface. Now, it is the sight of a military training base the size of a city.
Mergha: Water Planet
Mergha is a water planet with high wind, massive waves, and hardly any gravity; it has no landmass large enough to settle on. Because of this, Mergha's cities and spaceport are floating high in the sky thanks to the use of technology and the lack of gravity, away from the water and waves. It's a balmy planet, humid enough to have condensation and water collection from the atmosphere be a prime resource.Centauri: Rocky Planet
A rocky planet, hot and thick with poisonous atmosphere, with two moons. The cities on this planet are relatively small in size compared to the rest of the Alpha Avior System, clustered closer together than the cities that would be found on it's sister planet, Diadem.- Somnus: Originally a rocky planet with no life, the prison/correctional facility, the Long Waite Correctional Hub has been carved into this planet. The prison is large enough to serve as a city in and of itself, with a manufacturing base connected to it. This is Centauri's largest moon.
- Mors: A lifeless rock, currently under construction.
Natural Resources
Because of the strength of the sun and the closeness of the main habitable planets, solar energy is frequently gathered into giant batteries in order to sell as backup power to large vehicles like ships or manufacturing transporters. This is mainly done on Diadem, as it's landmass, made of a material recently named “Transpicuous Crystal,” reflects and absorbs the sun’s rays, helped by the technology featured there.
Many minerals, natural rock, and metals are not found on Sharatan, but it's three minor moons feature such resources in abundance.
Mergha is the only planet that has a decent percentage of life in its oceans and even a semi-habitable, breathable atmosphere. That, coupled with the natural humidity in the air allows for filtered water collection through condensation.
Most of the Surro Astro Cluster has been stripped of its natural resources, although some metals can still be found there.
