ALEM HEMEM is the third planet orbiting the Coral Agency star Aliash.

The world has been host to slight human development since the Fencepost Period. Throughout the War Period Alem Hemem and its two moons were used extensively as waystations for Coral Agency shipping.

Alem Hemem’s moons, roughly identical in size, are called Helsini and Crassmir. Crassmir is famously the birthplace of Coral Agency multifarmer, Alifa Matoo.

BELLEROPHON is the first planet in orbit around the star Red Pegasus Ara.

BORAURIS ESTER (bor-ROR-is ES-ter) is a rocky planet of Blue Agency and is one of the so-called Four Core Worlds. It is the second planet in orbit around the star Mar Treiest and has been the political hub of Blue Agency for most of the New Era. Borauris Ester has a dense human population and a sophisticated subsurface urban environment. Borauris Ester has become a major center for commerce and for technological development and the traffic to the world and its moons has in the past century even rivaled that of Lantil Mybea.

The first human settlements on the planet were Blue Agency colonies that mined and processed the world’s variety of easily accessible titanium compounds, including radioactive titanium isotopes that were widely used in the weapons industries. Though Borauris Ester has only the barest atmosphere, the planet’s reservoirs of subsurface oxygen were harnessed early in its development, greatly facilitating the planet’s industrialization.

Until recently, Borauris Ester had the highest population of the Four Core Worlds and their dependents. It was surpassed by Aphrophine’s moon Hafelin in 579 N.E.

Most of Borauris Ester’s 12 moons are also highly developed with human habitations and industry. During the Fencepost Period, the population of moon Gagoku Na was higher than that of Borauris Ester itself. Borauris Ester’s moons are, in decreasing order of size: Boria Mar, Gagoku Na, Boria Pel Separ, Bego, Doruc, Doru Wah, Bestita, Benani, Be Kian Wah, Behichi, Belm, and Haurrat.

GESUBIC is an ocean world, composed largely of liquid water. It is the fifth planet orbiting the red-dwarf star Iohanna.

The planet has a substantial biosphere, largely compatible with human nutritional needs. Gesubic was one of the first extra-Solar worlds discovered in the Old Era and was marked early on by planners and developers as a possible golden-green world.

Gesubic is repped by Your Agency. It was home to noteworthy human habitation throughout the Fencepost Period. Population declined through the War Period. It is now viewed as a rapidly developing economy and has become a highly desireable real estate for post-war developers.

Gesubic has four rocky moons. They are, in decreasing order of size: Mandela, Miskiti, Silver Soweto, and Tarabalu. Mandela and Silver Soweto are home to substantial human development.

Parent:	star Lan Shipao

LANTIL MYBEA is high-traffic planet, considered the traditional “homeworld” of the Soutros Wranglers. Lantil Mybea is the second planet in orbit around the star Lan Shipao (aka Gawura / Gan Wirga). The planet is orbited by three rocky moons – Lantil Mybea Sorkent, Sherem Hau, Lan Sivauk.

Its location between ProcyOn ZZ3 (Paroak 323) and the Four Core Worlds has made the planet one of the most important hubs for interstellar commerce. Lantil Mybea is the legislative center of the Soutros Territories.

Lantil Mybea prohibits the use of vehicle-borne gravity generators within the Soutros Territories, and has legislated the exclusive use of large-scale pop-doors for long-distance space travel in its jurisdiction. The world has reaped substantial revenue from the tolls exacted for use of its pop-doors. Very recently the Soutros Authority has begun licensing vessels to use c+ travel within the Territories.

Development on Lantil Mybea has benefited from a globally stable climate except for seasonal ”hot storms”, caused by sudden increases in pockets of green house gases (primarily CO2 & CO). These short but violent storms are preceded by abrupt increases in temperature. Tornadoes are common. The storms expend their energy by venting heat into the upper atmosphere. The storms often conclude with spectacular lightning displays, illuminating the sky for hundreds of square kilometers, and precipitation of “grease hail”, in which dust particles sucked into the high atmosphere return to the ground encased in methane-streaked ice.

PALUL-LAR DON is colloquially called “The Dinosaur Planet”. It has a substantial covering of liquid water and a warm climate suitable for animal life. The planet has one large rocky moon, Palul-Lar Som, and a smaller icy moon, Palul-Ris’sharah.

Surveyors registered and mapped the planet in 161 N.E., near the end of the Expansion Period. They were amazed to find a host of large organisms which closely resembled Earth species – including specimens which appeared to be offshoots of lifeforms from Earth’s Mesozoic Era.

Certain scientific and spiritual communities have engaged in an ongoing campaign to have Palul-Lar Don declared a Reserve World, off-limits to development and commerce. Palul-Lar Don’s vast wealth of mineral and agricultural resources have made the planet an inviting prospect for developers.

Reticulan Influence

It is supposed that the Reticulans, who monitored – if not actually influenced – human evolution, might also been husband to other species. It is conjectured that, in the case of Palul-Lar Don, a wide array of lifeforms were transplanted from Earth 200 million years ago – just prior to Earth’s so-called KT Deluge, which caused massive extinctions on Earth and wiped out many larger animals, including the planet’s dinosaurs.

Old World dinosaurs are fairly common in most zoological parks, but on Palul-Lar Don life has been allowed to develop, apparently unhindered, for 200 million years now. Scientists of all disciplines continue to study the planet as a fascinating model of how biology on Earth might have evolved without the impact of the KT Deluge and other extraterrestrial interference.

Though the Palul-Lar Don is popularly called “The Dinosaur Planet”, the percentage of true dinosaurs among its fauna is relatively low. An astounding sampling of the original Earth fauna must have been brought to the planet. “They brought two of everything,” quipped paleogaeologist Wiley Ericson. Also, some of the dinosauria have evolved to a point where they may require new classification. Debates on this point are still in the early stages

Rocky Strone’s Expedition

Earlier this Common Calendar year, celebrity naturalist Rocky Strone embarked upon a high profile expedition to Palul-Lar Don.

Strone’s mission, funded by grants from The Cyclopedia Of Worlds and the Davis University at Dakka, is intended to be the most complete in-flesh survey of the planet ever.

Strone, in cooperation with Cyclopedia Of Worlds and the Newstring information service, established a live data signal which allows Strone and his team to transmit live updates of their expedition to the whole of the Newstring service. The live stream is said to be the first of its kind to be used for mass civilian information transmission since the middle of the War Period.

A number of eminent paleobiologists and exobiologists have accompanied Strone on the Palul-Lar Don mission, including Dr. Mason Hauki.

PARAO (pa-RAU) is a gas giant and is the fourth and outermost planet of the star Lan Shipao. The world and its real estate operate under the aegis of the Soutros Authority.

Parao has only one rocky moon, Blates. Prior to human development of the Lan Shipao territory, Parao also had seventeen more small asteroid moons. Most of these were rich in strontium and lithium and were completely broken down and harvested by the middle of the War Period.

The longrunning Newstring Service moved to Parao’s orbit in 101 N.E., setting up a major Broadcast Table on the moon Blates.

Parao has become a poetic icon of return to home and safety. In the Expansion Period, its appearance was often the first visual evidence to freighter teamsters and crew that they were indeed at the end of their long voyages to the trade hubs of Lantil Mybea and Lannic.

Fencepost Period balladier, Rusen Baltai, wrote a love song called “Parao”, which is still popular today:

I return to your beauty
I return to breath
I return to your warmth
O my Parao

So many hours, so many years,
So many watches
Embraced only by the No-Nothing
The black and lonely No-Nothing
Oh! O, my Parao! O, my Parao

The moons of Sapin were recently devastated by an Aniprion AC outbreak, which spread across the entire Sigit Ux Artor sphere.
