Sol System
Sun: Sol – Hellos – Incarna: Katanka-Sonnak / Hyperion / Re / Lugh
*No known access to suns umbral surface. Some close range monitoring stations, and quintessence mining outposts.
Mercury – Incarna: Mitanu / Hermes / loki / Jurima gravity 0.38Gs, 0.3829 earths wide, 0.055 earths in mass, one rotation / 58.646 days (1,407.5 hours) , one orbit / 0.2405630 years (87.969 days)
*Ruins of the Batini city/outpost, Many many correspondence points, entrances to SR Correspondence are said to be closed forever however anyone with correspondence of 3 and a really good ship, or 4, can use the planet to travel quite effectively. Accational rift opening to ghost inhabited city of brass segment, otherwise only life here is a few tiny mostly unmanned research outposts tinny desert life, and large scaly worm like creatures with segments and heads at both ends of there long bodies (they tend to roll to sleep or move.)
*SR Correspondance – No known access.
*Mus –
Fors Collegis Meruris (‘The accidental collage of Mercury”) Large fortress / collage on Mus. 40 miles across in smallest flattest part, 154 miles wide in longest part… mostly flat tiny little moon totally barren save what’s in the shield wall of the fortress. Can’t be seen from any grate distance to some correspondence affect. The collage is ran by the Order of Hermes Den, Monet Granville (French male).
Vulcan – Incarna : Hakahe / Hephaestus / Khenermu / Goibnu / Volundr / Tehuti gravity 0.38Gs, 0.3829 earths wide, 0.055 earths in mass, one rotation / 58.646 days (1,407.5 hours) , one orbit / 0.2405630 years (87.969 days)
Near imposable to find due to twin physical mirroring and orbit, no known access to umbral surface at all. It’s existence is still argued about due to the lack of access to it, but the evidence that it is there is great.
Venus - Incarna: Tambiyah / Aphrodite / Frey / Astarte / Sabaal gravity 0.904Gs, 0.902 earths wide, 0.815 earths in mass, one rotations / -243.0185 days (rotates in reverse to other planets), one orbit / 224.70069 days (0.615197years)
Governor: Wendell Amwell , English Family descends from Son’s of Ether , but has married in with Verbena as leaning that way he is a Verbena that fiddles into tencorganic studies.
*Lots of bygone, several bygone hunters and people trying to stop them.. A few colonies but hostel environment makes it hard. High walled cities that spray hardy plant killers constantly at the edges of the walls exists, with people patrolling for dinos and bygone to drive them off. There are hunting cities though and are the main source of meat in system outside of earth. The environment outside the cities is extremely unpredictable and hostel, life 2 or a good deal of extra protection is needed to last more than a few days.
*SR Life – Access anywhere is possible but extremely difficult (diff 10), some portals are set up by Verbena.
Earth – Gaia – Incarna: Eshtarra / Terra / Danu
*Holy fuck shit… yah lot going on there but likely won’t be reached in the game lol Returning here though is near impossible once you have been away from earth for more than a month… the time line use to be a little around a third of a year, but now people lose phase with the planet faster. Travel back and forth between the planet is rare, and often only for trade. The earths penumbra has become much more hostel and while you might find a dreamspeaker or Verbenan city, mostly there is little but outposts there full of researchers trying to find a reliable method to return someone to earth.
*DA MOON- Luna – Incarna: Sokhta / Phoebe / Seline / Artemis / Diana / Tauki-yomi gravity 0.1654Gs Possesses a gate.
Governors: The moon has 3 governors, typically one from the tecnomancers, one from the traditions, and a human or a supernatural that isn’t a mage. Milla Ormanda (Male German Void Engender), Alexavier Jeneva (Amircan Virtual Adept), Naledi Owusu (Female African, thought to have gotten in with help from neo-Cappadocia’s, pushes lots of laws to protect the moon)
**Lots of settlements on the moon but the three faces have given way to two and now the ruins exist along with the many cities of earth colonies…. However still people do not go near the ruins and during the full moon… the smaller cities and the valleys are not safe places to be….. Some times even the big cites offer no safety during a full moon! A lot of people just ignore the deaths or people going missing, but others look to find others look to leave… but some simply can’t or aren’t willing to leave Earth any further behind despite the fear of the full moon. The Most populated area is in Mare Imbrium (Sea of Showers).
**Darkside Moonbase – The first base Icarus is sealed in amber now and under a shielded dome, the second base being called The Daedelus debacle is lost to robots. The new base in Lipskiy is as much for training now is as it is for studding the other bases now… it’s a bit of a mess but still one of the main training stations but budget is dropping out as more training stations are made.
**Victoria Station – Starting point of the game for many of the PCs, much much much larger, the SES Nautilus and SES Argo are dry docked in a museum built in to the remains of the original station. Professor Dubrius passed on 25 years ago leaving the station in Urr Re’ok ‘s capable hands and though she still thinks deep umbra travel is bad and that the late disasters are evidence she keeps the station running quite well. Margrave Karl-Werner Luftwelle III SHOULD have been in charge however he did not want the position and would rather continue working on the stations computer and being more sociable … commander is just to time consuming and demanding a job.
Autochthonia- Matching earth’s orbit, but opposite of it (taking a hint from Vulcan), is this 10 mille wide nearly perfect sphere of unknown substance… a part of the pure reaches of order this base is one of the few bastions of those still loyal to the New World Order and is now taking orders (when they can) from the U4 City State. All ships that go near are Calcified by attack geomids and pulled into the station.
Mars – Incarna : Nerigal / Ares / Thor / Anhur / Akhnet 0.376Gs, 0.284 earths wide, 0.107 earths in mass, one rotation/ 24.025957 days (24.6229 hours), one orbit/ 686.971 days (1.8808 years) Possesses a gate.
Govener – Indrayani Behari (Female Dreamspeaker, Indian) Is also head of the local trade offices.
*Has some colonies, far far far less than the moon. The main ones still being Doissetep (the oldest chantry made by the traditions), and Bradlbury (marsbase one established by the SoE). Has the second most farm lands in system outside of earth. (would likely have the first but the terrible weather makes farming hard…. There is more land than Ganymede but the moon has far more favorable weather) The farms there are, are located in craters using the walls and shields to protect them from the weather. The wilds are ravaged by terrible storms, giant bugs, and rumors of strange women that lure men away never to be seen again… without proper protection and lots of weapons one won’t last long outside a city wall.
*SR Forces – No stable entrances, most very dangerous and violent that can do a lot of damage.
*Deimos – 0.0039Gs, 15 x 12.2 x 10.4 km in size, orbits mars once/ 1.26244 days (30.30hours), bit of rubble and old crashed ships but that is about it
*Phobos – 0.00084Gs, 26.8 x 22.4 X 18.4 km in size, orbits mars once/ 0.31891023days (7h39.2m) Eris fortress rests in Stickney, the large crater in the moon, and is the main defensive front for Mars
The Crown Storm Nebula
The deadly storming result of Jupiter’s collision with Nemeses and fading into the asteroid belt. The energies make passing through here unsafe for most ships with out taking carefully planed routs or using ancherheads or well plotted correspondence points. Very few people are willing to go into the heart of the storm, but some are trying to find ways to harvest the vast amounts of energy there.
*Dyeing Incarna with no celestial to sustain them:
**Incarna of Turog: Rorg / Legion / The Many-Taloned Hunter
**Incarna of Jupiter: Zarok / Zeus / Dagda / Frey / Gitchi Manitou / Divaa
**Incarna of Nemeses (2001KX76): Anthelios / Wormwood / Eye of the Wyrm / Eye of Balor / Telos
*Ceres – 0.028Gs, about 1/3 the size of the moon, dwarf planet moves in and out of the nebula, often used for research because of it’s offset orbit takes it in and out of the nebula, taking about four and a half years each orbit it spends a good 5 months above and then 2.3 years later another 5 months bellow the nebula
SR Matter – bound to Jupiter but while accessible through nebula now, it is more easily simply accessed by finding passages into each planets hollow realm and then using matter-crafts to ‘fly’ through the ‘space’ between the hollow worlds. The SR-Matter reflection of iner-Jupiter is said to to still be there, though quite unstable.
Dislodged moons of Jupiter
Some of Jupiter’s larger moons where able to be moved away before Nemeses, these are the ones that are not in orbit of another planet now right now. Most have vets of the Hyperon wars and are less welcoming to other traditions.
*Callisto – 0.126Gs, 0.378 earths wide, 0.018 earths in mass, Simply up and disappeared with all the Marauders on it, appears here and there now and again with no real rime or reason, though it sure is a bitch to the local reality when it pops in and out of existence like that.
*Io – 0.203Gs(increasing), 0.346 earths wide(increasing), 0.02 earths in mass (increasing), along with some of the smaller moons where turned into a massive living ship of sorts by the Nephandi…. It’s a massive slow moving fortress of horrors that makes it’s way through the solar system. Last known it was above the ecliptic. Many are hesitant to even speak of Io let along travel near it.
*Amalthea – 0.002Gs, 250 X 146 X 128 km in size, Was moved after Europa, and was at first only going to be evacuated… in the end they just moved it out of range of disaster. The moon, basically one big city, was moved back near it’s original location and fitted with several monvering thrusters. It is now keep at a safe distance of the Nebula across from the heart of it’s storm giving the city quite the lively view of the phenomena and leaving a forward base for study. While still a technocracy city to be sure (Metropolis 2 they use to call it) it is open to all now save the restricted areas. Governor: Carrieann Storm (American female)
*Himalia –0.006Gs, 85km sphere in size, Was actually knocked out of orbit and the fortress defenses allowed the moon to ride out the blast from it’s edge. It too has been moved back and placed Near the Nebula to study it. However the traditions have not opened the moon to outsiders. Pr. Howell Maddock (Scottish male Son of Ether) runs the base.
Saturn – Incarna: Lu-Bat / Cronos / Prah / Bran / Balder / Thoth / Pah 1.065Gs, 9.4492 earths wide, 763.59 earths in mass, mostly hydrogen, rotation varies average surface ‘winds’ 1100mph usaly one rotation/10h34m , one orbit/ 10,759.22days (29.4571 years)
*SR Time – Saturn’s spirits have become more aggressive and do not let anyone near any openings into this realm, those who have made it past there time locks have all been swept away by the flow of time in the realm.
*Titan – 0.14Gs, 0.404 earths wide, 0.0225 earths in mass, one rotation and orbit / 15.945 days, Has methane based life in the methane air/water/ice environment, but is HEAVLY defended by a powerful Incarna guardian spirit that is not very friendly to intruders.
*Hyperion & Phoebe – (~10% and ~8% the size of the moon) Ports and colonies where set up here by the traditions.
*Mimas – (12% the size of the moon) Tradition ship yard and weapons experimental development labs. Nicknamed ‘The Death Star’ for the looks of the moon and the kinda work that goes on there. Mostly Ether kids, older virtual adepts going physical, and a few scattered hollow ones… all in all most the research going on here is done by young bright mages. Maarten Nostrant (Dutch Virtual adept) is in charge.
*Tethys & Rhea – (30% and 44% the size of the moon) Large ports and ship yards exist here, especially on Rhea that where made for the technocracy. Rhea contains what is likely the largest shipyard in the entire solar system.
*Dione, Enceladus, & Iapetus – (~40%,~20%,~44% the size of the moon) ABSOLOTLY CRAWLING with Marauders!
*Ganymede – 0.146Gs, 0.427 earths wide, 0.025 earths in mass, possesses a gate. Moved through powerful (and deadly to the casters) correspondence magics, Ganymede now rest in orbit of Saturn. The planet is 100% covered in water and the only ‘land’ are massive masses of plant mass that have collected died and formed into various means to make large chucks of floating dirt and plant growth, as well as manmade islands. Both are quite common but the natural ones tend to be much lager but harder to predict and usaly only have small towns and villages on them, while the larger cities exist inertly on man made islands or on natural islands with man made infrastructure supporting them and helping keeping them afloat. The largest of these is Neo Orleans. Along with the surface colonies there are several undersea colonies as well. After the terraforming, besides the lack of natural land, Ganymede has become the closest thing to Earth many will ever see. There are several efforts in affect to lower the sea level or incress/shift land masses to create natural land. Ganymede fishing is the main sorce of natural food in system outside of earth and has the most farmland aswell. Governor: Sunny Moon (Cult of Exstacy, male) won on pure popularity and the promise to find a way to cement a stable entrance to the cults Pleasure Dome and open it to all, but has been doing a terrible job as governor.
*Smaller moons have been inhabited by almost every tradition because how quickly the land seams to adapt to them.
Uranus – Incarna: Ruatma / Ouranos / Wotan / Siku 8.69Gs, 4.007 earths wide, 14.536 earths in mass, rotation various with “winds” on surface from 90~360 mph, mostly hydrogen (83%) and helium (15%) and makes a rotation about once per -0.71833 days (17h14m), orbits once/ 30,799.095days (84.323326years)
*’Uninhabited’ moons are often held by meditating Akashic Brotherhood seeking Isolation.
*Ariel – (~40% the size of the moon) Once a small technocracy refueling station as formed into a full fledged colony.
*Miranda – (~15% the size of the moon)The 赤風の森- ホーム (Aka-fū no mori - hōmu or Red-Wind-Forest-Home), an Akashic Brotherhood monastery is here along with several other scattered outposts and colonies of other tradisions.
*Oberon – (~45% the size of the moon) Held by a group of Marauders that for the most part leave people alone long as no one bothers them, and no one really dose… they also hold the little pebble of a moon, Puck. (~162km wide)
*Ophelia & Juliet – (54x38x38km and 150x74x74km) These tiny specks of dust are held by a Hollow One coven.
Neptune – Incarna: Shantar / Poseidon / Lir / Aegir / Liau 1.14Gs, 3.883 earths wide, 17.147 earths in mass, varies in rotation ‘winds’ are more than a staggering 1,500 mph and avrage rotation takes 0.6713 days (16h6m), obits once/ 60,190 days (164.79 years)
*Triton – (a little bigger than the moon but half the gravity) small colony and monitoring station on the north pole, that has grown into a full grown colony over the years with taraphorming in progress to make the planet earthlike, however with the thin atmosphere this will take a while.
*Europa – 0.134Gs, 0.245 earths wide, 0.0008 earths in mass, Moved through powerful (and deadly to the casters) corespondance magics, europa now rests in Saturn’s orbit. There are several technocracy colonies on the underside of the ice protected by fortresses on the surface, as well as some deep sea bottom bases. There are plans to teraform the moon like Ganymede but there is much opposition as many want to explore the native life and study it before exposing it to such vast changes. Work to ensure the transition of all the bases during the melting of the ice is mostly complete though, and some are worried some one might trigger a terraforming despite the protest and red tape. Governor: Yori Kohana (x-Progenitor female Asian) is one of the major road blocks in the terraforming.
*Naiad, Despina, Falatea, Larissa & Proteus – (60~500km wide all quite small) Scattered with small tradition outposts with people trying to reach SR Spirit
SR Spirit and SR Mind – It took some time to find what planet was bound to which realm, but it’s confirmed Spirit is bound to Uranus and Mind to Neptune….. the only ways into them however have been found in the asteroid belt and the astral planes. The only known reliable way to reach them is to use Spirit/Mind 4 Prime 2 magic to remove your soul/mind from your body and ‘fly’ into the storms of the planets.
Pluto – Incarna: Meros / Hades / Dis / Anpw / Arawn / Yama / Hel / Kwa 0.067Gs, 0.18 earths wide (about 2/3rds the size of the moon), 0.0123 earths in mass, one rotation/ - 6d 9h 17m 36s, one orbit / 90,613.305 days (248.09 years)
*Little known about it save being a icy lifeless husk of a world. The inter planetary system is under an SSS level Quarantine heavily enforced by the Senex, a Euthanatos chantry.
*Charon – (about 1/3rd the size of the moon) Has a few Senex science bases on it where they develop and use the most advance sensor equipment in the known universe to study the planetary system. Tests are also here to expose equipment to pattern damaging energies to see how they will fair. The results of such make Senex a lot of money.
*Cerberus – (about 1/3rd the size of the moon) A moon, unseen to mortal eyes, has the only known correspondence point in and out of the area, and houses a massive Senex fortress that monitors the entire area enforcing the quarantine with lethal force. While allied ships are allowed in orbit of the moon, they seldom let any non Euthanatos’ land. The planet and Charon are strictly off limits though to anyone but Senex and Cerberus is quite capable of destroying just about any invading force. Cerberus Vs Io has become the new Batman Vs Superman argument of the age save people are scared of both in this case…
Governor: Zelig Tiencken (germian middle age) his personal assistant Margaret Kensington (European female young) stays mostly with him, while his other assistant Calvin Torres (Latino male old) is often on Charon.
*SR Entropy – The reason behind the whole fuss, somewhere in the system there is supposedly an entrance to SR Entropy, well there must be…. If there wasn’t what would all the fuss be about anyway?!?! As for the nature of the realm no one really knows, but portals to Malfeas, the shadowlands, and even the end of all existence are all rumored to be around Pluto.
Kuiper belt and other dwarf planets
Mostly full of small mining stations or the like only accessible by correspondence points.
*
Haumea – 1960x1518x996 km, mined but no ‘zapper’
*
Makemake - 750x710x710 km, mined but no ‘zapper’
*
Eris – 1240km sphere, mined with a small station and an extra-stellar gate in orbit.
Proxima Centuri
4.2 light years – not much to note just a little tiny star
Alpha Centauri System
4.3 light years – A major technocracy colonized star system.
*
Alpha Centauri A
*
The Copernicus Research Center (aka The Cop, aka Alpha Centauri B) This star has a massive (about 100 million miles wide, or an AU) mostly translucent Dyson sphere. The sphere rotates giving it’s inner surface earth gravity, and the entire inside is full of atmosphere and life. The surface of the sphere has a band of earth, water, and various bases and cities along the equator while stations orbit inside.
BarnArd’s Star System
6 light years - Way station, Failed colonies but lots of mining
Wolf 359
7.8 light years - Has planets considered for colonization and terraforming
