<center><span style="font-size:16px;">Elegia 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. Elegia 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.</span>

Aylathiya contains thirty stars. The expansive region is home to a vast number of nations, with whole star systems rarely falling under the control of a single one. To control an entire star makes a civilization far larger than the vast majority both currently in existence and throughout history. What it means to be within Aylathiya is quite heavily contested; especially for stars distant from this saffron arm. For these stars, membership in Aylathiya is simply a matter of political expedience. The identity of the inhabitants of Aylathiya is quite strong, united through a series of similar religions, cultures, and even a constructed language spoken throughout much of it.
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
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
Ayauyu 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
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
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 Lowzyol.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 i 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
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
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 Consilum's capital city of Scipio is located on the megastructure. Several planets orbit the large structure, whose mass dwarfs the star.
Gira Gira is a large Red Supergiant located in Aylathiya and is one of the most massive stars therein. It is home to the Phaethon system responsible for maintaining the Eos megastructure. There is one independent state in the system, DELYATU.File:Divline.png
Gruxugawa is a somewhat small main sequence yellow star home to the Kephins 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. Were this a cloud of gas, its density would make conventionally airless worlds look high-pressure by comparison.File:Divline.png
Hanabi is a unique object in Aylathiya and the other of its two Neutron Stars. Unlike Demiurge, Hanabi is a Thorne–Żytkow Object, meaning that it is a giant star that had absorbed a neutron star in its past, replacing its core. On the surface of this neutron star, a sustained fusion reaction takes place that yields strange products. The system is only about a million years old. Its planets were destroyed by the neutron star colliding with the original red giant or were ejected from the system.
Hanabi is valuable not just for the high concentration of heavy metals around it, but the abnormally high levels of the element Orichalcum, making it a tremendously valuable system. Hanabi has changed hands many times and currently has no controller by treaty. Despite this, bases from the Occult Galaxy Project dot the system around the star.
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
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, Thulcandria, and Drusidia making up most of the rest of the population.File:Divline.png
Ibeicarro is a medium-sized star renowned for being the origin point of the Civese species. Unlike the home world of humanity which fell into disrepair, the Civese maintained their home system even at the cost of interstellar gains. The result is a tightly-knit system with a large amount of infrastructure. Around the planet of Civestadt, a troubling new phenomenon is Thaumic Pollution, resulting from millennia of Thaumaturgists slowly increasing the instability of reality by using their abilities. Its other worlds suffer no such problem and a great deal of Thaumic infrastructure, including the seat of POLIKY, has been moved to them.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
Lycurgus is a small star that, despite its small size, has been starkly divided for much of its history. Hosting the planet Bellataine, 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.
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
Nocturne is a large black hole straddling the boundary between Aylathiya and extra-galactic space. Its large gravity allows it to entertain three stellar companions: Ayauyu, Sekhmet, 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
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
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.
Sakase is a major system boasting the highest population of a star of its size, only bested by Nocturne, Eos, and Mili. The 3.4 Trillion that call this system home are mostly the Civese and most of the states in the system are represented in the Quintet Payotari Association. Despite not hoasting the homeworld of the Civese, the world boasts a higher population of the species than even the home system of Ibeicarro. The terrestrial planets represent the dense urban core of Civese civilization where the vast diffuse cloud of habitats surrounding the gas giant Apate comprises "rural" civilization. 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 Lorokira. 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, Lorokira, Rania, Kolak, Ziarus, Elora
Sekhmet is a medium-sized star orbiting the black hole of Nocturne. Its most distant satellite, Sekhmet has always been the most independent of the worlds 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, Sekhmet hosts more of Sagittarium's industry than all other systems 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.
Seycara is a large star that by all accounts should have died ages ago. Tampering by Ma'eau has kept the star alive for millions of years longer than it should have survived. Extensive infrastructure keeps its death at bay, supporting the aged star against the immense pull of its gravity. Consequently, most of its planets have long since been destroyed, with the remainder hosting life fitting for this zombie of a star, the Marred Life, a form of life created by a mad Ma'eau. The innermost planet orbits within the star, its dim parent not even having the energy to destroy it. Beyond this planet, the Marred planets host life hostile to nearly all species in Aylathiya.File:Divline.png
Orcubor 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
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
Tryvya is a small red dwarf with only a single planet, the world of Ommekha. The system is free of dust, a contingent of Administrivae, weapons controlled by The Administrator, keep it this way. 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
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, destroyed themselves as they created the Cybersphere, 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
The Brown Dwarf Medb is technically in a binary orbit with the star of Mili, but since the body has never undergone fusion, it is relegated to the Brown Dwarf category. Despite its status, the body 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 a fortress nation of trillions that has resisted nearly all attempts at conquest. This ancient state had created a vast fusion array powered by the readily-available gas Medb contains. File:Divline.png
