Cosmoria contains one hundred stars. It is home to a vast number of nations, with whole star systems rarely falling under the control of a single polity. To control an entire star makes a civilization far larger than the vast majority to have ever existed.

Stars

Aylathiya

Argothiya
Type - Orange Dwarf
Native Species - Viphians, Timporians
File:Divline.png
Argothiya is a medium-sized star known for its importance in the history of Celathiya and the wider Core Worlds Alliance. Home to both the Viphians and Timporians, every world orbiting this star hosts an ecosystem of some sort. The gas giant of Vossen serves as the capital of the Commonwealth of United Economic Nations, the planet sporting an immense double ring structure. Between the rings are vast counter-rotating cylinders that supply a great deal of living area.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Occalia, Kajupto, Sechfier, Yuhapta, Vossen


Arlioux
Type - Orange Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Arlioux is a medium-sized star best known for the large clouds of dust that orbit it. Astronomers from across Aylathiya made note of the regular anomalous dimming of the star. The clouds of dust represent a valuable store of resources, but a large number of minute "shepherd planets" keep the dust largely diffuse. The system has only one major planet, Thalsiedeln.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Thalsiedeln


Byutix
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Byutix is a small highly-unstable red dwarf who has a binary twin, Helyar. The violent star somewhat regularly emits vast flares that have destroyed all but the most distant of its planets. The system is full of debris from these worlds that has coalesced into a diffuse disk. One such flare was so powerful that it destroyed the atmosphere of the planet Shosturan around Helyar. The event became a major event in the Neo-Terranist religion.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Simud, Heuser, Delkash


Cephei
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
The minute red dwarf of Cephei straddles the line between brown dwarf and star. It was difficult to prove that hydrogen fusion took place in the core, but it was eventually proven to take place in a millionth of all fusion events within it, technically making it a star. Most of the faint star's light comes from Deuterium and Lithium fusion. The star was originally colonized by Sedrua but was later taken by the Quintet Payotari Association before being retaken by Lowyzyol.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Raon, Klepse, Salvia, Ivotsh


Demiurge
Type - Neutron Star
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Demiurge is one of two neutron stars in Aylathiya. Despite its small size, it is one of the most obtrusive objects within it. Much of Eos is rendered uninhabitable by its furious release of radiation. In the past, there was a large structure around it, built by the Triumvirate Civilization that spared Aylathiya from its punishing radiation. It was destroyed during a war between Aztaya and Florenta in 81,277 CE.
File:Divline.png
Planets - None

Elegy
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Elegy is an ultra-cool red dwarf that numbers amongst the smallest stars in Aylathiya. It orbits the black hole of Nocturne and hosts a very small population. The low metallicity of the system has resulted in a very small number of planets mostly made up of carbon. It has almost always been left to its own devices by Sagittarium, rarely receiving a seat at the table. The eight billion souls that reside in this system have some of the lowest quality of life in all of Aylathiya. The economy has no ability to grow and depends heavily on imports to survive.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Alnihaya, Harun

Eos
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - Kristals, Kshi, Ersatz
File:Divline.png
Eos is an ultra-low-mass Red Dwarf that is bested only by Cephei in minuteness. The star would be utterly unremarkable were it not for the absurdly large megastructure located around it. Technically orbiting this structure, Eos and its disk have been an incredibly important part of history, with nearly every major empire in the history of Aylathiya having some claim over the structure. It predates even Father Zaphenim and the First Aeternal Society. The most likely candidate for its construction is the state of Hyperion within the Lareas Alliance.


Eos is mostly controlled by the Greater Martial Consilium, a multinational congress made up of nearly every nation in Martial Space. The Consilium's capital city of Scipio is located on the megastructure. Several planets orbit the disk, but are usually considered to be satellites of the star by convention.

File:Divline.png
Planets - Albedo, Hikari, Eosphoros

Eylanse
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - Bahattes
File:Divline.png
Eylanse is a red dwarf star that was the center of Sedrua for most of its modern history. It had been inhabited on and off many times by various civilizations in Aylathiya, making records and artifacts on the planet quite cosmopolitan. After the fall of Sedrua, the star became a stronghold for the federal government of the Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya but, due to fears of a resurgent Sedrua, has no independence. The component states of the Commonwealth each have business in the system, much to the chagrin of the native Bahattes who have consistently struggled to create a state for themselves after millennia at the top of Aylathiya.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Qhet, Zushilo, Oloro, Angreifer


Finale
Type - Yellow Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Finale is a medium-sized star orbiting the black hole of Nocturne. Its most distant satellite, Finale has always been the most independent of the systems under the control of Sagittarium. Despite being so distant, the star has only retained its three closest planets, a series of terrestrial worlds whose population represents over an eighth of all of Sagittarium's people. Despite the relatively small population, Finale hosts more of Sagittarium's industry than all other stars save for Nocturne itself.


The system hosts a large Ekrosian and Vlanoan population who make up the self-ruling republic known as Rendell. Other nations in the system are protectorates of Sagittarium, colonies, or the personal property of nobles who often act with little oversight. Economically-productive regions are ruled directly from Thalia.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Patyrth, Vistique, Sarpanitum


Gira Gira
Type - Unclassified
Native Species - Molkor
File:Divline.png
Gira Gira is a large unclassified star located at the heart of Aylathiya. Gira Gira swallowed a neutron star several million years ago, something that would normally mean the end for a star. Extensive infrastructure keeps its death at bay, supporting the hollowed-out star against the immense pull of its core. Numerous civilizations have laid claim to Aylathiya's largest star, each one contributing to the web of rings around it. One such structure is the Phaethon system responsible for maintaining the Eos megastructure.


The zombie of a star hosts fitting inhabitants, the Marred Life. As Ma'eau warred against itself, the creator of all life in Aylathiya spawned these unique organisms. The Marred Life have a large number of strange properties usually associated with decay. In fact, one could think of this form of life as constantly in a state of decomposition. The innermost planet orbits within the star, its dim parent not even having the energy to destroy it. Within the inner Gira Gira system, the Marred Molkor species rules.
Gira Gira is valuable for the high concentration of heavy metals around it, but also the abnormally high levels of the element Orichalcum. Gira Gira has changed hands many times and currently has no controller by treaty. Despite this, bases from the Confederacy of Borealis, Quintet Payotari Association, and the Occult Galaxy Project can be found around the star. As for native civilizations, DELYATU and the Vespanic Order call the system home.

File:Divline.png
Planets - Elisa, Taek, Kyougen, Hathia, Onaud


Gruxugawa
Type - Yellow Dwarf
Native Species - Ohmados
File:Divline.png
Gruxugawa is a somewhat small main sequence yellow star home to the Ohmado species. Historically, it was an important history in Sedrua and remains important in the nation of Vaspujian. Other polities reside in this system as well, such as Avolast and Celathiya who both control large tracts of territory in the system. Gruxugawa boasts a diffuse cloud of energy collectors that, together, have a living area greater than the planets in the system.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Tadadore, Erghaster, Igolath, Xadio, Sanguine, Solv, R'Velt


Hearts
Type - White Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Hearts is the white dwarf binary twin of Odo, its name deriving from the ancient religion of the Civese who believed that the small body becoming visible in the night sky represented a change in heart for their patron deity. In the past, it possessed an impressive accretion disk and may have triggered several novae, described by the nearby Civese as divine judgement that made leaving underground caverns hazardous for several months at a time. Currently, the Poratus megastructure exists around Hearts, a sort of Recurrent Nova Engine that not only shields Civese worlds, but also gathers much of the power released by the explosions. Every Civese nation, Sagittarium, and the Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya lay claim to portions of the megastructure.
File:Divline.png
Planets - None


Helyar
Type - Orange Dwarf
Native Species - Humans, Kya
File:Divline.png
Helyar is the orange dwarf binary twin of Byutix. Despite interference from Byutix, Helyar maintains a respectable number of planets that are remarkably close to each other. Helyar had historically been an immensely important system; worlds within it have been the capital of interstellar empires several times. Most of the infrastructure built during those periods has fallen into disrepair however, as the system lost all of its power. Currently, the Kyan Commonwealth claims most of Helyar, with outposts from the Confederacy of Borealis and Thulcandria making up most of the rest of the population.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Shosturan, Icaron, Vyllurian, Aegyn/Olaris, Exriel, Sakurelle, Zepyai


L'Starte
Type - White Subgiant
Native Species - Farlas, Naidarans
File:Divline.png
L'Starte represents the origin point of nearly all life in Aylathiya in some way or another. Being home system of Ma'eau, it has the most diverse and robust ecosystems in all of Cosmoria. Despite being non-intelligent, the ecosystems are still capable of large scale organization and self-management. L'Starte is divided between the nation of Naidaro, Paladins that worship Ma'eau, and the Duchy of Royer.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Eleclev, Velevev, Nai'Starte, Callithyia


Lycurgus
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - Arkhosians
File:Divline.png
Lycurgus is a small star that, despite its small size, has been starkly divided for much of its history. Hosting the planet Sakijast, home of the Arkhosian species, the planet never saw a unification of its nations. Instead, they became space-faring on their own, warring with each other just as they had before they reached space. After some time, the Arkhosian Order and the United Provinces were the two major powers on the world and system broadly. With the construction of a Dyson Swarm well under way, these two powers, and their vast cohorts of vassals, would continually compete as they expanded beyond their home system. Sedrua would conquer both nations after some time. The system is currently a part of the nation of Arkholst, a member of the Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya.


As for physical properties, the star has more usable territory than most systems its size. The small planet of Hitogawari was harvested over thousands of years by the Order, and the moon of Stetsett by the United Providences. Both worlds would contribute to a massive Dyson Swarm that remains mostly in tact. A brief period of stellar-level Kessler Syndrome, that is the creation of a deadly cloud of space junk that makes travel impossible, tore up many of the habitats. To this day, a fine dust surrounds the star in a sphere.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Raelka, Bellataine, Sakijast, K'Strelk


Mili
Type - Luminous Unclassified Star
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Mili is a unique giant star and the brightest in Aylathiya after Gira Gira. It shines in such a way that, in the night sky, the faintest hint of green could be seen, so faint that one has to essentially convince themselves its there to see it. Mili has a powerful magnetic field and a heliosphere that encompasses its "binary" twin of Medb. Mili has a great deal of infrastructure around it that gives it about a tenth as much living space as Eos. The star has very few planets of its own.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Ethiu, Frechtlect


Nocturne
Type - Black Hole
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Nocturne is a large black hole straddling the boundary between Aylathiya and the core of Cosmoria. Its large gravity allows it to entertain three stellar companions: Requiem, Finale, and Elegy. The body has a handful of planets itself. Nocturne has been an untamed wilderness for most of its history, far too large to ever be exploited to its full extent. Once the nation of Sagittarium formed, however, the system had finally become united under a single ruler. This brief period of stability was followed by what was essentially a confederation of independent nobles who ruled their various domains with little oversight.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Thalia, Jezreel


Odo
Type - Blue-White Giant
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Odo is the third brightest star in Aylathiya. The star has a large industrial capacity that makes it crucial to the economy of the region. An intensive star-lifting project, using ultra-strong magnetic fields to tear apart stars, is powered by the megastructure around its twin, Hearts. Vast amounts of metal is harvested from the star and shipped across Aylathiya.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Kyou, Naut, Ivathiya, V'Starte

Oratorio
Type - Protostar
Native Species - Un'oit
File:Divline.png
Oratorio is the youngest star in Aylathiya, having only just begun fusion thirty thousand years before the present day. Even so, it has retained the protoplanetary disk that itself is only 500,000 years old. Extensive tampering by Ma'eau, including the strategic placement of shepherd planets prevent the disk from collapsing into new planets. Since protoplanetary disks are quite dense, it has allowed for Ma'eau to introduce a diverse spaceborne ecosystem.


The planets in the ecosystem universally have low gravity, giving the Un'oit an easy task in colonizing all of them. Since they were able to tame much of the spaceborne life in the disk, they resided within a low-tech space-faring civilization that persists in some areas to this day. Outside of the system, the Un'oit have adapted to a technological lifestyle and export a great deal of resources from their system.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Partita, Capriccio, Divertimento


Requiem
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Requiem is a small star orbiting the massive black hole Nocturne. It is dominated by a large spinning ring-like structure that is made up of the planets once in the system. While Sagittarium finished the structure, it was built over tens of thousands of years by previous civilizations. It is often compared to Eos, a star system with a fairly similar situation.
File:Divline.png
Planets - None


Sachitel's Idyll
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Sachitel's Idyll is a derelict system that, while important during the reigns of Father Zaphenim and, afterwards, Mother Sachitel, had fallen into disrepair. Civilizations from across Martial Space raided, exploited, and extracted nearly everything from the system; even Father Isayo and Father Rinayo played a large role in the desecration of much of the system. The reason for this is the large military force, known as the Resonant Divinity. It is an ancient and eternal force that spends a great deal of time gathering and stockpiling resources. In other words, it is a fantastic military target and thus has been treated as a sort of autonomous mine.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Rhamnousia, Be'onne, Thanatos


Sakia
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - Zythyns
File:Divline.png
The center of Zythyn Civilization, Sakia is a major system for Lowzyol and Aylathiya broadly. As one of the nodes along the Anemoi Line, the system has always hosted great ports and a high population. The Zythyns, however, were only involved in this trade as Sedrua rose to power. Before then, they were simply ignored on their home world of Lokira. Worlds such as Vode served the primary purpose of trade. Most worlds have layered artifacts dating back thousands of years as different civilizations rose and fell. Consequently, the system is quite resource poor, forcing the inhabitants of this system to rely on outside systems. This was a major driver in the history of Lowzyol whose large population consistently demanded cheap goods, forcing leaders to expand elsewhere.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Fira, Hotra, Vode, Lokira, Rania, Kolak, Ziarus, Elora


Surayea
Type - Orange Subgiant
Native Species - Orcubor
File:Divline.png
Surayea is a medium-sized star nearing the end of its life. Over the last one billion years, the planet of Gohbrin orbited so closely that the silicates on its surface melted, creating large seas. Ma'eau took advantage of this liquid to seed the planet with life. A unique form of life based on Aluminum. Most of the planets around the star have large mirrors around them, concentrating enough of its light to make them habitable for the Orcubor, a species who needs temperatures of at least 2,000 degrees Celsius to survive.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Gohbrin, Annan, Effe, Pavarott


Tryvya
Type - Red Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Tryvya is a small red dwarf with only a single planet, the world of Ommekha. The system is free of dust because a contingent of Administrivae tirelessly work to keep it clean. As for its one world, it is perfectly smooth, spherical, and has a consistent density throughout itself. It is made up mostly of ultra-clear quartz. Standing on the planet, one would be able to see all the way into its mantle, giving it a faint orange glow. There are numerous asteroids, particles, and comets that share the same perfect shape which collectively orbit the perfectly spherical, stable, and free of metal star that is Tryvya. Tryvya orbits The Administrator itself, a vast construct that ways about 1.2 M.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Ommekha


Wik'Jawum
Type - Red Subgiant
Native Species - Ror Units
File:Divline.png
Wik'Jawum is the home of the Ror Units and potentially the oldest civilization in Cosmoria, the so-called "First Civilization." This ancient civilization, over ten million years old, was destroyed by the first known Noospheric Disturbance, resulting in a runaway restructuring of the matter on the planet D'Naevium, forever altering its surface and the life it contained. The system is currently under the control of a handful of orders of Paladins, such as the Alkan Order and the Vespanic Order.
File:Divline.png
Planets - D'Nion, D'Naevium, Eltaque, Roure


Ynnud
Type - Blue Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Ynnud is a very small hydrogen-poor star that appears billions of years older than its actual age. It formed in a region so devoid of hydrogen that it almost immediately began fusing helium in its core, giving the star its unusual spectrum. Ynnud was important throughout the history of Aylathiya as the system changed hands many times in history; it was essentially a frontier system. Currently, it is administered by many of the nations that once laid claim to it and several home-grown civilizations.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Petra, Tchruv, Tloinin


Azurullya

Aurumios
Type - Black Hole
Native Species - TBA
File:Divline.png
Aurumios Laeschaude is a large system that gravitationally dominates the center of Azurullya. Within its center lies the titanic Aurumios, a black hole bested by none in mass. The heaviest individual object in Cosmoria, except for perhaps the High Warlock, Aurumios is accompanied by over 100 satellites, nine of which being massive stars.
File:Divline.png
Planets - TBA


Cupruor
Type - Giant Unclassified Star
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Cupruor is a massive star containing immense copper impurities. Its unique spectrum grants it a cyan-indigo color. It orbits the Aurumios black hole.
File:Divline.png
Planets - None


Dexotrau
Type - Unclassified
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Dexotrau is a star permanently locked in the state of a supernova. Despite having temperatures well in excess of one billion degrees kelvin, the star has yet to fly apart. Every year, the amount of iron that it spews out increases, suggesting a lifespan to this phenomenon.
File:Divline.png
Planets - None

Rhen
Type - Neutron Star
Native Species - Ryleiths
File:Divline.png
Rhen is the only neutron star in Azurullya. Despite its supernova only 2 million years ago, life has persisted on Rylehkastra and grown to power.

Rhen's regular transits through the Viritacloud may be a cause for its life's hardiness.

File:Divline.png
Planets - Ansuz/Khanatyn, P'hauthtos, Ipwythos, Arqekh, Sikhnaryn, Nikhmenh/Afhret

Florathel

The Heart of Providence
Type - Black Hole
Native Species - Kasan, Taya, Alkai
File:Divline.png
Among the most massive single objects in Cosmoria, the Heart of Providence is a vast black hole sitting at the center of Florathel. Its gravity allows it to maintain the star Varona as well as a number of brown dwarfs and dark rogue planets in a direct orbit around it. The chaos of the Heart's violent accretion disk and other celestial phenomena made the system largely impossible to traverse for most of recorded history until the common era, when the previously isolated states within the system finally made contact with each other. This kicked off a series of events which culminated in the formation of the Providence Union, the most powerful empire in the history of Florathel since the Lareas Alliance. Although the Union fell in the War of the Last Alliance, its successor states later formed the United Nations of Florathel in an effort to curb more violence like the War of Saiheran Succession. Today, the Heart is the site of Centerpoint Station, the seat of government of the UNF, alongside several other important megastructures.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Kaslar/Alkor, Felakaa
Other Objects - Apricot, Varona, other rogue planets and brown dwarfs
Notable Moons - Veleth
Notable Megastructures - Centerpoint Station, Star Forge


Varona
Type - Orange Dwarf (K7V)
Native Species - Revarean, Nerae
File:Divline.png
Varona is a low-mass star orbiting 212 AU from the Heart of Providence. It's close orbit around this enormous object means that its sole planet, Taro Nor, is in a somewhat chaotic orbit around the star, causing its moons to have wildly fluctuating climates over history. Due to the fluctuating gravitational forces, any other planets in the system were thrown into each other, Taro Nor, Varona itself, or ejected into space, resulting in enormous clouds of dust orbiting the star accompanied by a number of tiny dwarf planets and asteroids. Varona was for a relatively brief time in history the political center of Florathel as the site of the capital of the Providence Union before the War of the Last Alliance. Today, the star has been mostly depopulated by the ravages of history.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Taro Nor
Notable Moons - Revarea, Nerax


Raea
Type - Red Giant (K5V)
Native Species - Salakela
File:Divline.png
Raea is the primary star of the Cnara System, one of the most prominent political locations of Cosmoria. As a red giant, it has consumed the innermost of its planets, scorching the once habitable worlds of Coros, Trada, and Kralean. The ice world of Saleas has begun to thaw, revealing the Salakela in the oceans beneath and freeing them to spread through the stars, going on to play a pivotal role in the War of the Last Alliance and collapse of the Providence Union. Today, Saleas is the centerpiece of Saw-Yos, a powerful nation in Florathel.

Maea is the secondary star of the Cnara System and the parent star of Carlea. The system is very metal-rich, allowing its denizens to build enormous megastructures across the system. As a red dwarf, Maea has hundreds of billions of years left to live, and its system is packed very close to it. Its planet Carlea is one of the twin capitals of Cnara-Frealee, founding member of the United Nations of Florathel.

Frealee
Type - White Main Sequence Star (F3V)
Native Species - Poreltids, Darvikans, Varla
File:Divline.png
Frealee is the central star of the Frealee System, and home to nine major planets and hundreds of smaller objects. As an F-class star of 1.9 billion years of age, the star does not have long to live, and is beginning to expand into a red giant, which will destroy much of the inner system. As such, there are projects by Cnara-Frealee, Marakat and the United Nations of Florathel to remove chunks of mass from the star and prevent this from happening. Its planets Tarbla, Darvikus, and Morli each have deep historical import across Florathel. Darvikus and Morli's moon Artaclate are both capitals of their respective nations.

Vespira
Type - Red Dwarf (M7V)
Native Species - Talamat, Kareliss
File:Divline.png
Vespira is among the smallest of stars in Cosmoria. Its comparatively miniscule gravity tethers a tiny, tightly packed system of two planets spinning as close as they can get to the star, their surfaces home to life adapted to the cold red glare. The twin worlds, Frolira and Tuar, are both home to intelligent species, which have fought together across history and now jointly lead the nation of Seldrin-Darusa from above their dim ember.

Planets - Frolira, Tuar
Notable Moons - None


Ioleria
Type - Red Dwarf (M7V)
Native Species - Arathelian
File:Divline.png
Found near the populous Cnara and Frealee systems, Ioleria hosts a large, somewhat sparsely populated system inhabited by the nation of Tairane since the War of the Last Alliance. Its innermost planet Cors Tairane is the most populous in the system and capital of Tairane, a member of the United Nations of Florathel. The system sits at the edge of Florathel itself near the borders of the Lux Aeterna, resulting in frequent contact with the nomadic Varkas Tribes that eke out a living in the rare pockets of stable space within the Aeterna.

Zalanthium

Auleial
Type - Orange Dwarf
Native Species - Lumeirri, Ao'kami, Qathrlt
File:Divline.png
Auleial has an ultra-abundance of life, with each of its planets hosting natives of some sort. This situation spawned three independently-evolved intelligent species, the most of any system in Cosmoria. While having a tumultuous past, the three sister-species have formed the Auleial Interplanetary Union. This state governs the system's many worlds, the megastructures that dim the star's light, and the people's scattered space habitats.

Brown Dwarfs

Doret
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Despite being a small brown dwarf, Doret hosts the most populous planet in Celeas, Karan. It is located in Lowiras.
File:Divline.png
Planets - Karan


Medb
Native Species - Dotsk
File:Divline.png
The Brown Dwarf Medb is technically the binary twin of Mili, but since the body has never undergone fusion, it is relegated to the Brown Dwarf category. Despite its status, Medb was still able to sustain a thriving ecosystem around one of the moons of its only planet, Tuirne. The moon of Eithlinn gave rise to the Dotsk species, whose exploits allowed them to create Dotskgard. This fortress nation of trillions has resisted nearly all attempts at conquest. The ancient state had created a vast fusion array powered by the readily-available gas Medb contains.

Planets - Raelka, Bellataine, K'Strelk


Apricot
Type - Y-class Brown Dwarf
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Directly orbiting the Heart of Providence, the brown dwarf Apricot is barely more than a planet, but since it barely fuses enough to emit the dimmest of infrared emissions, its satellites are planets in their own right. Illuminated solely by the burning blue-white glare of the shredded, superheated corpses of long-dead stars spinning around the Heart, the planets Azavante and Kavira are the two closest inhabited natural bodies to the black hole. The tiny system is split between Cnara-Frealee and Saw-Yos.

Planets - Azavante, Kavira


Rogue Planets

Florathel

Polinia
Type - Icy Terrestrial Planet
Native Species - Kaurid
File:Divline.png

Polinia is a tiny, icebound planet floating in interstellar space unbound from any star. Barely bright enough to be more than another star in the sky, the nearest star to the planet is the tight binary of Jatras and Idrana making up the Andred System. Beneath its thick icy crust, Polinia exhibits a liquid ocean over sixty kilometers deep, the low gravity preventing this from reaching the crushing pressures normally expected and allowing life to thrive and evolve at the countless hydrothermal vents found here. The Kaurid species that evolved beneath this ice eventually broke through it and expanded throught the planet's region of interstellar space, even into the outer reaches of the Andred System. After the War of the Last Alliance, Polinia became the capital of Kaurim, a major state in Florathel, becoming a founding member of the United Nations of Florathel after the War of Saiheran Succession.

Un'oit Space

Adagio
Type - Ice World
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Adagio is a small icy world whose surface has adopted a characteristic deep red color due to ferrous impurities. The frozen remains of billions of creatures jut out of the ice. Intelligent species from every era can be found on the world. No artificial structures or materials have been found in the ice, including the equipment needed to reach this remote world. Numerous expeditions to Adagio have revealed that the corpses stretch deep into the planet's mantle. The deeper the fossils, the more marred they are, suggesting that Ma'eau is the cause of Adagio's strange properties. Due to the high levels of phosphorous concentrated on Adagio, in addition to readily-available nitrogen compounds, a number of mining operations call the rogue planet home.


Adagio has one moon, Divertimento. The moon is a typical airless world of a little more than a fourth of Adagio's mass. The moon hosts thousands of red-tinted geoglyphs all pointing towards Adagio. To date, over six thousand spacesuit-clad Carlean bodies have been discovered near the glyphs. It is unclear how the Carleans ventured to the planet, however, unusual igneous formations suggest the use of Thaumaturgy. The glyphs, while crude, are usually depictions of Carlean faces with pained expressions, some of which have been scribbled out. Drawings of what seem to be clouds interlaced with gears make up a substantial minority. It is unclear why there is no text anywhere on the planet. There are no settlements currently on Divertimento, but a handful of relatively recent abandoned military bases dot its surface.

Moons - Divertimento


Amarent
Type - Dwarf Planet
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Amarent is an anomaly of a world that is currently poorly-understood. Dating methods consistently return an age far too old to be composed of the heavy elements it is. With a unique core made up almost entirely of lead, the planet has a weak magnetic field that does little to protect it from the punishing radiation of interstellar space. Amarent has been under the control of Sedrua since it was first discovered, but is currently not claimed by any one nation. Even so, forces from the Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya occupy much of the world and often engage in conflict with forces from the Cabal of Amaranth Truth and the Church of the Fae Queen.


Amarent has a high concentration of Amaranth energy throughout it, a force believed by many to pervade all of reality. This results in the space around the planet being both highly unstable and highly dangerous. The result is the manifestation of Ambrosian Remnants, fragments of a story that adherents to many religions obsessively piece together. Many of these remnants are physical objects, relics, or even records that describe civilizations that have never existed. Other remnants are spatial or temporal anomalies that temporarily induce hallucinations in any nearby intelligent organism, usually describing important, if not fictional, events.

Berceuse
Type - Terrestrial Planet
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Berceuse is a barren world whose only atmosphere is a cloak of radon gas produced in large quantities by the planet's remarkably radioactive mantle. There are bacteria that thrive in the core that create large tree-like structures which take advantage of the mantle's heat. Since the planet is home to a great deal of radioactive material, it was highly sought after for much of history before cheap fusion reactors became common. Since only the largest of craft can bare the load of a fusion reactor, however, the planet's strange supply of elements is a major source of income for the planet's mostly Un'oit inhabitants.

Etude
Type - Ice Giant
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Etude is a rogue Ice Giant that possesses a faint ring system and seven moons of varying composition. It has the highest Un'oit population outside of their home system of Oratorio. Despite its somewhat isolated position, three of its moons have populations in the tens of billions thanks to large subsurface oceans created due to tidal heating. This heating is a relatively recent phenomenon and, thus, the system has no native life to speak of.

Eye of Aylathiya
Type - Terrestrial Planet
Native Species - None
File:Divline.png
Eye of Aylathiya, often including a "The" in its name, is a large rogue planet surrounded by a megastructure for which it is named. This legendary device was activate twice in its history. The first time, in 59,122 CE and second in 96,378 CE. The former activation, which was an attempt to resurrect the Angels, killed Mother Sydiah and plunged Sedrua into financial ruin. The second activation, however, resurrected all of the Angels. This would eventually lead to the War of the Ancients and Aylathiya's Ignominy. Sedrua built a similar device around the star Requiem which was also successfully activated. Unlike the Eye of Aylathiya, which is currently barely inhabited, Requiem hosts a fairly large population.
