Thebes is a binary system, with two Suns, Thebes A a Yellow Dwarf Star and Thebes B, a Red Dwarf Star. The system belongs to the Heptarchy of Orion and is the home system of the Capital of the Nation, the Planet Astarte.

The System was colonized by five colony ships from Earth. The system had been deeply studied from afar previous to departure, and the Planet Astarte was selected as the perfect spot for a colony after slight terraformation. Probes and machinery were sent to the planet to stabilized its atmosphere and prepare the world for human habitation. This was opposed by many on earth as it was disrupting alien local life. During the Hibernation trip to the system, the Humans on board were also genetically modified to be prepared for colonization.

The Total Population of the System is 9 Billion people as of 2985.

Also it's two moons have been settled. All the stations and domes in both moons, amount for a population of 212 million people.
  • Irilon: Has a total population of 190 million. The economy on this moon is based on three pillars, Mineral extraction, energy production and scientific research. It is a rocky selena, with no atmosphere. Most inhabitants have to live in domes.

It is the main center of Laboratories, experimental and military facilities. Also most of the planet economic activity is centered around mining, factory production and chemicals.
  • Hades: The total population of this world is 326 million
  • Ymir: A Gas giant, famous for its rings. It has a total of 16 moons, of which some are colonized. Many space stations have been built over the rings for mining and gas extraction. It is also a popular tourist destination. The total amount of population is 411 million.

Orbiting both Suns, are a Gas Giant, known as Cerules and a rocky world known as Irkalla. It has a total population of 201 million people.
