Ariel
Core World: The planet of Ariel is known as one of the jewels of the core. Some of the
finest restaurants and museums in the core. It also boasts a beautiful bioluminescent pool.
Ariel City also has a wonderful medical facility known as St. Lucy’s. Like most core
worlds it is high security and high priced.
Athens
Frontier World: a small backwater world that harbors four moons one of which is
inhabited. The Moon (Known as Whitefall) is a small colony run by a woman named
Patience. Patience is a known criminal who has worked her way into planetary
management through threats and blackmail. It is a lawless moon run by a criminal.
Athens itself is little better. It is a livable yet somewhat lawless world as well.
Beaumonde
Periphery World: A farm world dealing mostly in livestock. If you are looking to work
and work hard you can find a iving here in one of many Ranches or few factories on
planet. It’s a good Earthy kind of place but the locals don’t take kindly to tinhorns or
Strangers.
Core World: a beautiful oceanic world that is a main part of the Alliance. A playground
of the rich and home to several hundered floating cities. “Castles in the sky” as many call
them. They are some of the highest security estates in the core and homw to many an
Alliance general and noble. It is also rumored to be the resting place of one of the last
known lassiters in existence.
Bernadette
Periphery World: A heavy industrial world, Bernadette is known as a massive mining
operation. This planet has been known for its pollution and general grime.
Boros
Core World: As with most core worlds Boros is heavily connected to the alliance.
Known for it’s tech industries and academies. The Military Academy Known as the
Sinclair Academy is one of the Alliance’s best known Officer schools turning out a
number of heroes of the battle of Serenity valley.
Frontier Station: a “Drifter colony” built from the hulks of older ships. It is a privately
owned outpost working within the laws of the Alliance. Due to it’s sheer size it does not
follow the rules of extended space travel despite not being a planet. It is a home a way
from home for many travelers in the black.
Ezra
Periphery World: Ezra itself is not much to look at, it is a small world with not much on
it a small ranch here or there but very little else. The main attraction is a skyplex above
the planet run by Adale Niska a known mobster and criminal cartel owner. Niska is
known for is incredible cruelty and sadistic obsession. You’d do best not to cross him.
Greenleaf
Periphery World: one of the bigger independent worlds. It is known for excellent
medical facilities, as well as being one of the few civilized zones still left in the
periphery. While nowhere neat the same kind of civilization found in the core, it is still
an impressive sight to the frontier folk.
Hera
Periphery World: The sight of the final battle of the war for unification, Hera was the
governmental head of the independents. The once powerful planetary senate was torn
down by the Alliance in an attempt to unite the galaxy under one banner. Few
Independents visit Hera, there are simply too many bad memories.
Higgins Moon
Frontier World: The main commerce of Higgins moon is a thriving ceramics business.
However the people of Canton are given probably the worst end of the stick given a
people. They however do have one savior a hero who fought the law for them and almost
ruined Higgins ceramics, He is the hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne.
Ita
Frontier World: This planet is know as a primary dumping station of ship parts, many
hulks of Independent battlecurisers and frigates lie dormant on Ita’s desert like climate.
There is an alliance outpost stationed on the planet to guard the hulks, it is often thought
of as one of the worst duties an Alliance soldier can be given.
Jiangyin
Frontier World: Known as the Prairie Paradise. The planet is a typical frontier town.
The planet also hosts a culture of backwaters ludites known for their superstitious and
strange ways. Such people have been known to kidnap people of use to them. There are
warnings to such note in the Sheriff stations on Jiangyin. A followup warning to this is
that these “Backwater Amish” tend to be rather fanatical in their beliefs.
