Sedi Bax

Sector 131
Mola Bax System (System 51015)
Sedi Bax (Grid 69): The third colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized on 7105.48. Sedi Bax was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire. Like all Baxians, the Sedi Baxians are liberal-minded Aeronii who value social independence and promote a leftist local government to provide basic goods and services. Along the main trade route between Mola Bax and the Aeronii home system, Sedi Bax has more integration with the homeworld. Sedi Bax also has more relaxed immigration and trade laws, so freighter crews often spend leave on Sedi Bax during downtime along the Aeron-Mola Bax Run. The taverns, cantinas, combat arenas, pleasure houses and holo-brothels are legendary among the Aeronii trade. The planet's state parks, rugged planetary trails, and tourist traps draw Aeronii families to visit as well.
Orbiting Sedi Bax are massive interconnected starbases that greet visitors and traders. Nearly a quarter of Sedi Baxi's registered population lives aboard.
Sedi Baxians idolize spacer culture and the dreams of interstellar travel. The Sedi Baxian dialect is rife with spacer nouns and verbs.

Reoq Bax

Sector 131
Mola Bax System (System 51015)
Reoq Bax (Grid 303 ): The fourth colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized on 7105.48. Reoq Bax was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire.
Reoq Bax is located on the furthest reaches of inhabitable space in the Mola Bax systems.
The planet's isolated location and its lack of natural satellites made it a preferred site for the spy masters of the city of Maethos Anon.
Beneath the frozen surface of the planet, the Maethos Anonii run a massive espionage facility that both gathers information about other Altian governments in nearby space and runs counterintelligence against violent dissident groups in Aeronii space. The equatorial region is also home to a large mining operation, closely watched by Maethos Anonii Intelligence corps.
Domed cities dot the equator to support the colonies of Aeronii miners.
The planetary seal of Reoq Bax takes the primary seal of Maethos Anon and reproduces it in triplicate, represnting the planet's patron city on Aeron Prime, but also signifying the three roles of the planet: intelligence gathering, counterintelligence, and spy training.

Biscardis

Sector 131
Biscardis (System 50608)
Biscardis (Grid 224): The fifth colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized in 7105 CE. Biscardis was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire.
Biscardis was colonized by citizens of Raethoya, the largest trading city on Aeron Prime. The buildings of the massive city of Bala Cha towers nearly a kilometer tall and covers nearly 400 square kilometers.
Biscardis has become a major trading site for nearby Altian worlds. A pelagiac planet, most of the major cities are situated on the planet's archipelagos. The shallow seas are doted with aquatic farms and isolated communities.
The black market is tolerated by the Biscardi authorities although the Biscardi Gendarme wage a constant war against the major crime families on the planet, such as the Kaethosii, Najaeranii, Vaer Moraesii, Utraenii, Bharonii, and the Kaeladonii.
Biscardis is also home to the Aeronii mech military factories and the Aeronii Mech Academy.
Capital: Bala Cha

Kalapis

Sector 131
Biscardis System (System 50608)
Kalapis (Grid 224): The sixth colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized in 7105 CE. Kalapis was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire.
The Aeron Prime city of Raeynard is the patron planet of Kalapis. As the center of Aeronii art, Raeynard exported some of its best artists to the planet and funds their art projects with generous donations.

The Kalapis capital city of Bothros is dominated by the Spire of Aequia, an organic architectural sculpture that houses the Kalapisii Museum of Art. Surrounding the base are the planetary government offices.

The Gardens of Khamorae outside Bothros showcase monumental sculptures over 34 square kilometers. The gardens are among the most popular tourist attractions in Aeronii space.

The mountaintop city of Oronaeni is noted for its small artist studios with walkways and platforms that jut out over the Valley of Faemor, also known as the Valley of Fallen Rainbows. The city is favorite of painters.

Sail City is a coastal artist colony on the Bay of Bahji. Strong winds blow into from the bay, helping to power the city. Sail City is most famous for its theater and holovid industry. Most stage and holo actors don't consider themselves as successes unless they've lived and worked at least once in the art districts of Sail City. Jaenon Avenue is the major theater district, while holovid studios are located on and around Shi-Mae Hill.


The city of Tir Kaedron Vas has lax social and legal laws. Intoxicants and gambling are legal and loosely regulated. Additionally, the city is the only place in Aeronii space where brothels feature live prostitutes rather than holobrothels or sex gynoids and androids.


The city of Phear Slaem is home to the Aeronii poetry community. Poets, spoken word artists, authors, storytellers, playwrights and lyricists all call the city home. The city is home to the Kalapisii Poetry Academy, the Aeronii School of Languages, the Authors School, and Maenonri University, which trains playwrights, screenwriters and authors. Major festivals take place weekly, focusing on the various art forms of the city. The annual Phaer Slaem Arts Festival caps the weekly events. Lasting three weeks in the mid-summer, the event showcases the best Aeronii literature, competitive poetry and spoken word performances.

Figuratively "above" the rest of Kalapis, the mountaintop city of Dorae is home to art critics, theorists, and some of the planet's senior artists. As artists in the various genres achieve mastery, they are given free apartments in the city. Those who have always rejected the critics often refuse the space even though they are maintained until the art master dies. Other artists, however, consider a room in Dorae to be a great honor and join the theorists and critics in training the next crop of artists.

Riven

Sector 131
Riven System (System 50614)
Riven (Grid 137): The seventh colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized in 7105 CE. Riven was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire. The first 250,000 Aeronii colonists were besieged by Rivenian Plague almost immediately. The devastating plague eventually affected more than half of the population. Temujin of the First Fleet aided with the first delivery of a vaccine on 7118.59. Cyph-jah Capri, Marshal of the Aeron Fleet mobilized the Aeronii merchant marine to aid in shipping medical supplies from all over Aeronii space. The plague was declared completely cured on 7129.40 CE. Riven now has the second largest population in Aeronii space.
The capital city of Gehn is still marked with monuments to the dead and tributes to the Myst medics who saved the Rivenian population.
The city of Port Caeto connects a 60-kilometer archipelago into a single, cohesive metropolis with high bridges, the lower levels of which are occupied as low-rent apartments.
The Rivenian dialect is short and crisp emphasizing brevity. The Rivenians rarely hold secrets and often speak exactly what's on their minds, often exposing their true feelings bluntly and sometimes to their own detriment. The cultural defense, according to sociologists, is that the ravages of the plague left a people supremely aware of death and the shortness of life, thus negating any need for common pleasantries. Other Aeronii often consider Rivenians curt or rude but Rivenians consider other Aeronii naive and self-absorbed.
The planetary seal of Riven is a stylized image of the Varallian Plague vaccine logo. The Rivenians selected the image in memory of those who died in the epidemic.
Capital: Gehn

Myst

Sector 131
Riven System (System 50614)
Myst (Grid 154): The eighth colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized in 7105 CE. Myst was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire.
Myst is deeply connected to its sister planet in the same system, Riven.
The first 250,000 Aeronii colonists of were hit by an epidemic of Rivenian Plague immediately after landing, which affected more than half of the population. Cyph-jah Capri, Marshal of the Aeron Fleet, built the first Aeronii biofactory on Myst to manufacture a vaccine. The Aeronii merchant marine shipped supplies to Myst which were used to create the vaccine and save the Rivenians.
Among the peculiar traits of the Mystii is the celebration of the lines and forms of ancient Aeronii technology imbued with modern technological achievements. The buildings of many of the cities look like visitors traveled back centuries, but with all the modern conveniences. This is most clearly illustrated in the planetary shuttles.
Most navigation in cities takes place by foot or in mechanized land vehicles lacking repulsorlift technology.
The capital city of Atrus was originally built with typical Mystii architecture. However, in gratitude for alieviating the Rivenian Plague, Rivenian architects built up the core with massive towers and impressive feats of cutting-edge technology. Faethor and Galaerin Tower rise high above the city, and are the centers of Mystii government. The towers were named for Dr. Aemron Faethor (7023.43-7119.29 CE) and Dr. Jonnu Galaerin (7065.74-7171.03 CE) who found and developed the cure for the plague.
Sylorian is the center of the Mystii medical establishment, where the biofactory complex is built.
The planetary seal of Myst symbolically represents the efforts to cure the Rivenian Plague.

Naboo

Sector 111
Taer Lorthaen System (System 47805)
Naboo (Grid 347): Naboo, a planet in the Taer Lorthaen System, was a conquest of Andre Gling, Councilor of the South West Empire, and given as a gift to the Aeronii on 7115.13 CE.
The 250,00 native Naboo were initially resistant to Aeronii governance. Aeronii Viceroy Neraxi Aertho implemented reforms of the elected monarchy of Naboo, permitting Queen Aida and her descendants to remain as figureheads, while ceding governance to the Aeronii government and the elected Royal Naboo Parliament. Naboo is now has the third largest population in Aeronii space.
The royal family of Naboo inhabits the Royal Naboo Palace on the edge of the waterfall city of Theed.
As the largest city on Naboo, Theed is also the main spaceport for Aeronii and Altian traders.
In the years following annexation, the anniversary of the signing of the Act of Naboo-Aeronii Union was marked with terrorist bombings, violence against Aeronii civilians, and attacks on Aeronii patrols and miltary targets. Curiously, Waer Jaedi monks serving as peacemakers were never targeted and generally avoided, due to their martial training. On 7287.23, a bomb targeting a miliary parade detonated prematurely, killing Naboo Crown Prince Hyron Narrie and wounded his younger sister Her Royal Highness Attaro Narrie. King Fadron Narrie's impassioned plea for peace. The violence abated over the next few years and now the anniversary is celebrated as a national holiday and a remembrance of the crown prince's unintentional sacrifice to attain peace.
The planetary seal of Naboo is the traditional Naboo royal seal beneath "Naboo" written in Aeronii script to symbolize Naboo and the royal family's subservience to greater Aeronii interests.
Capital: Theed

Taer Lorthaen

Sector 111
Taer Lorthaen System (System 47805)
Taer Lorthaen (formerly Rori) (Grid 111): Taer Lorthaen System, a conquest of Andre Gling, Councilor of the South West Empire and a gift to the Aeronii on 7143.32 CE.
Taer Lorthaen System, a conquest of Andre Gling, Councilor of the South West Empire and a gift to the Aeronii on 7143.32 CE.
Founded by Naboo colonists, the planet of Rori was stratified between wealthy aristocrats and poor laborers. However, the conquest by Gling's Plasma Fleet and the subsequent rule by the Aeronii broke the old order by supplanting the aristocracy with a socialist meritocracy.
In the hundreds of years since Aeronii annexation the disparity between rich and poor in the population has nearly equalized, but some of the Naboo on Taer Lorthaen cling to the simpler ways of the ancestors and live outside the walls of the great cities in pre-Industrial Age communities. These societies are given a wide berth despite the encroachment of the cities.

In the weeks following annexation, Aeronii troops and bureaucrats chose Koraenis as the planet's capital, moving it from the former capital of Gunadar. The city had been forbidden to peasant Rorians, who comprised more than 90% of the population. The Aeronii chose to reclaim the city and symbolically liberatre the population. Most of the wealthy aristocrats fled the city and moved to their estates in Gunadar. Only the House of Berenko remained, lead by Karine Berenko, who was a generous philanthropist. The Berenkos are now one of the most influencial families on the planet.

Gunadar was the capital of Rori under Naboo rule. After the Aeronii took control of the planet and renamed it Taer Lorthaen (New Lorthaen), the city lost its prominence as a trade and government center. Most of the planet's wealthy aristocrats retreated to city as peasant Taer Lorthaen were given property in the countryside and apartments in the other major cities. The move proved financially disasterous as capital remained confined to a single city unwilling to commit much trade to the rest of the planet or Aeronii space. The city slipped into a major economic depression as families that had been wealthy for centuries lost their fortunes and influences in just a few years.
Following economic recovery plans instituted by the Taer Lorthaenii government based in Koraenis and increased trade from Naboo to stave off complete collapse, the surviving major families: Houses of Dallows, Till, Korden, Janren, Agolerga, Thule, Zapalo, Brandes and Tane united to form the Gunadar Economic Trade Conederation that now rivals the Berenkos for planetary influence.

The Tomb of Vancil is in the heart of the city of Eckener. In 7070 C.E., Rhys Vancil led a peasant revolt against the Rorian aristocracy, liberating the city for more than four years before the planet's major families sent in a combined army to level the city, execute Vancil and his lieutenants, and enslave the rebels.
The tomb is a pilgrimage site for peasant Taer Lorthaenii.

The industrial city of Olié is still strongly stratified between the wealthy on the top levels, a vast middle class in the sublevels.

The Undercity of Lago, located on the surface beneath Olié is a dangerous, lawless zone of criminals, outcasts, gangs. Illegal cybernetic operations are commonplace as are dangerous medical experiements outlawed throughout Aeronii space.
Capital: Koraenis

Lemis

Sector 154
Planitia System (System 61064)
Lemis (Grid 185): Planitia System, a gift from Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire and a gift to the Aeronii in 7322 CE. Of all the Eastern Colonies, the Lemisians consider themselves most closely related to Aeron Prime. The arts and culture of the planet mirrors Aeron Prime, albeit with some delay, and the Lemisians mimic Aeron Prime trends in fashion, entertainment and the arts. The Lemisians also commonly refer to themselves as the Taer Aeronii ("New Aeronii") or Yaenins Aeronii ("Eastern Aeronii").
The word "Yaenins" comes from the Aerisii dialect rather than standard Aeronii. The word ending "-ins" of the adjective "Yaen" is an Aerisii construction that indicates proximity rather than regionality, i.e., the direct translation is "Aeronii from the eastern neighborhood" rather than "Yaen Aeronii" which would mean "Aeronii from the eastern regions").
The Lemisian capital is Monj Jopa, a massive, sprawling city located along the equator.
The tropical environment lends itself to an active nightlife while the 64-hour days lends itself to a feeling of endless summer days and warm nights among the Aeronii who live in the city.
The clubs, art galleries, holo-brothels, sports arenas and casinos are open 64-hours a day, 215 days a year. The city also carries itself politically as a liberal mecca.

The refinery city of Juex Manoen was the first in Eastern Aeronii space. The city single-handily refined the materials that built the Eastern Aeronii Fleet, a fact not lost among the other worlds of the Aeronii.

The monastic city of Vaentru is the largest in Eastern Aeronii space. Waer Jaedi monks from the Aeron Prime city of Waer Jaedi and the planet Calphi Bax send some of their best and brightest apprentices to Vaentru for training. The monks who reach the ranks of knight or higher later serve among the Easteren Colonies.

The city of Syraeps is home to the great techfactories of Lemis. The majority of the population are factory workers or indirectly related to the labor force that supplies the high-end technology and products for the Eastern Aeronii.

The aquatic city of Tyraes was built 55 kilometers from the coast of Juex Manoen on a coral reef. The city offers an pelagiac refuge for Western Aeronii lonely for Aeron Prime.
Capital: Monj Jopa

Ortake

Sector 154
Planitia System (System 61064)
Ortake (Grid 353): Planitia System, a gift from Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire and a gift to the Aeronii in 7322 CE.
The frozen planet of Ortake is one of the major factories for the Eastern Provinces of Aeronii Space, mainly supplying the Eastern Province Capital world of Lemis. Ortake has an elliptical orbit around the star Planitia, which warms the planet just enough to melt the ice and create shallow seas at two points in its 1,192.4-day revolution, for about 23 days on each pass.

Ortake's capital is the tiered city of Grassi. Powered by geothermal generators, Ortake's population lives in a single archology that overlooks the Valley of Taras which becomes the Sea of Taras two a year.
Site of the major spaceport, the city is closed to starships for about 150 days of its 1192.4-day year, due to the rough weather. Ships that ignore this warning or are forced to land risk dangerous crosswinds, and if the ships crash on the surface, death can occur within minutes for crews who emerge on the surface.
Despite the issues with weather and cold, the Grassians enjoy a rich, if isolated, cultural life. Theatre and music are

Ortake's waystation during planetary storms or ships not designed to fly in cold weather is Jaer Shaenis (Iceberg) Starbase, which orbits directly above Grassi. A significant portion of the station's population has never set foot on Ortake.

The city of Ghaen Staenin is centered on a pennisula overlooking the Sea of Ren Onuphrae.

The entire mining city of Draeshdan is subterranean as it lies just south of the Arctic Circle. Only a communications station and the entrance to the docking bay are exposed on the surface. The city is situated on one of the richest veins of iridium ore in the Eastern Provinces. Nearly a 250,000 miners and their families live underground, heated by fusion and geothermal power generators.
Capital: Grassi

Theyiacia

Sector 154
Planitia System (System 61064)
Theyiacia(Grid 227): Planitia System, a gift from Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire and a gift to the Aeronii in 7322 CE.
The initial colonists of Theyiacia come from the tiny island of Traemok Nor on Aeron Prime. The Traemok Nor have a dialect distinctly separate from the major dialects of Aeron Prime. The Theyiacian Colonist Movement saw the new planet as a way to permanently preserve their language and culture.
Another reason the Traemok Norii chose to colonize the planet was that it has the same annual revolution as Aeron Prime, allowing Theyiacian priests to maintain the same religious calendar as Traemok Nor.

The first colonists to Theyiacia made their capital at Anathoraenis, named for Tranis ulto Anathoraenis, one of the ancient colonists of Traemok Nor.
The city is comprised of massive spires made from natural stone, rather than plexisteel, much like the cities on Traemok Nor.

The mining city of Daeronmosicoe provides most of Theyiacia's resources for export. The factory city lies in the western perimeter of the Gaernoilisnii Mountains and are noted for their veins of ore.
The Gaernoilisnii Wildlife Reserve exists on the eastern slopes of the mountain range, obscured from view from Daeronmosicoe by the ridge line, however, the region is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.

The holy city of Aegyterion is the center of Theyiacian religious life. The Waer Jeadi monastic order, prevalent throughout Aeronii space, only maintains a single monastery on the planet, in the city of Haerion Faerinoenias. Only native Theyiacians, Traemok Norii and visiting Aeronii diplomats or religious guests are permitted to enter Aegyterion for most of the year, with the exception of the holy month of Raenikoriaer, the Festival of One-Blood, wherein all those who share Aeronii blood are permitted to take part in the feasts, gift-giving, music and theater celebrations.

The city of Haerion Faerinoenias - the City of Foriegn Hearts in the Traemok Nor dialect - is the main city of non-Theyiaician Aeronii. It is also the site of the only Waer Jeadi monastery on Theyiacia.
