Argothiya

Within Aylathiya, the default mode of living is to cling to natural bodies. While currently a cultural practice, preferring natural bodies emerged from unreliability of ancient space habitats. In Sedrua especially, habitats were so dangerous that few would willingly leave their home worlds. By the Un'oit Ascension, however, advances in space technology were forcibly granted to most of Aylathiya. Around Argotihya, the majority of people live in space, separated from the vacuum by centimeters of material. This situation proved advantageous as Argothiya has renamined a major system throughout most of its history. Currently, the gas giant of Vossen is the capital of the Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya.
Argothiya is located within one of Cosmoria's arms. Its intense solar winds created a halo of gas and dust around itself, tearing a hole in the arm around its heliosphere. The star's six planets, while subjected to harsh radiation, are protected from dangers of interstellar space. The planets of Occalia and Kajupto spawned the Timporians and the Viphians respectively. Punished with constant radiation, the life of these worlds evolved in unique ways. The molten Occalia has an ecosystem dominated by quickly growing and depositing igneous rocks. On Kajupto, immobile structures take advantage of the metal-rich crust to grow. Their spores, capable of movement, make up the bulk of the ecosystem as well as the longest phase of the Viphian lifecycle. All worlds of Argothiya host native life, from the acid pools of Sechfier to the clouds of Vossen and every planet, and major moon, in between. Thanks to Ma'eau, the system is exceptionally fertile.
