The Colonies

Under the administration of the United Confederation of Sovereign Systems, humanity has surveyed and colonized several hundred worlds across a portion of the Local Bubble of the Milky Way galaxy over 300 lightyears long (in each direction). The planets under the jurisdiction of the UCSS, together with humanity's homeworld, are collectively referred to as "Terra and Her Colonies". Human space is divided into five Astroschemes - stellar regions: the Sol system itself, Île-de-Terre, First Diaspora, the Limitrophe, and Free Space, which can be further sub-divded into smaller patches of space. Due FTL travel using the Aeolus Drive, which has a maximum range of 8,1 lightyears, results in the creation of "Arms" that extend from Sol , which connect only the stars that are within this range of eachother. The invention of jump-gates has significantly reduced the the travel distance between certain sections of the "Arms". Arms are named usually after the largest world on the starting and end-point of the arm, example being the Groombridge-Invictus Arm, this is not always the case, as for example the Milvian Arm, which reaches from Terra Nova and reaching all the way to Calanshio. 
While the United Confederation of Sovereign Systems (UCSS) is technically a confederation of equal, independently-governed worlds, this is not true in practice; the interests of Terra, Corporate Entities and the Coreworlds weigh more heavily in the government's decision-making than those of the Anterior Systems. This has led to tensions and even civil war between the UCSS and the outer settlements, which many of the Coreworlds rely on for foodstuffs and mineral resources. Many of the nearer colonies use names from greek & roman mythology, to keep in line with the planetary names of the solar system, while those further out tend to receive more descriptive or abstract names, while many others are simply named after locations on Earth. Higher GDP per capita values tend to be concentrated around the original colonisation sites.
The term Medina is commonly used to indicate the initial site of colonization, for example the oldest parts of the Terra Nova Colony would be refered to as the "Terra Nova Medina", this is not always the current capital of said colony. In the early stages of colonization it is common for a colony's initial population center to be considered synonymous with the colony itself.
The colonies range from heavily-populated and economically, politically and strategically significant worlds to struggling pioneer outposts which could barely sustain colonists. Some worlds were terraformed to greater degrees than others depending on the local conditions and presence of indigenous life. A great range of highly diverse cultures are present on Humanity's Colonies, some worlds have their foundations in the cultural heritage of a single Earth nation, while most have varied population bases. While most colonies tend to have inhabited surfaces, due to the innate bias of their human inhabitants, many colonies are orbital or are in space altogether.
Space Military Fortress' and Kontors act in a similar vein to the forts and factories in old colonial america, as a entry point for pioneers to claim the local star system's resources and settle any habitable planets. Many of these Space Station do in fact have a permant civilian population housed in habitions modules, although most of the newly arriving colonists tend to move to more habitable places instead of staying in these "Space Forts".
The Xenogeological Survey and Catalog Service also exists to document various extrasolar planets, assigning them identification codes, based on geological and environmental condidtions. They also offer bounties to private individuals or teams willing to perform mineralogical surveys on the frontier. This survey data is made commercially available to further corporate development.
When naming celestial objects, the UCSS has certain guidelines - a following excerpt makes clear:
* General: Although not necessary, the names may be drawn from themes related to the sky and astronomy, or related in some way to the constellation or a cultural asterism in which the exoplanetary system lies, or related to the properties of the exoplanet and its star themselves. The proposed names should be of things, or places of long-standing cultural, historical, or geographical significance, worthy of being assigned to a celestial object.
* Indigenous names: In recognition of the UCSS Edict on conservation of Indigenous Languages, speakers of Indigenous languages are encouraged to propose names drawn from those languages. If one of the names proposed is from an indigenous language, then (1) the team that is proposing the name should be led by and involve one or more members of the Indigenous community, and (2) the team should annex consent to use the Indigenous language by the Indigenous group representative(s) involved in the project.
* Theme: The proposed pairs of names - for the exoplanet & its star - must follow a common naming theme. The naming theme describing how the names are related in some logical way should be summarized in a sentence or two and be broad enough that additional names related to the theme could be used to name additional objects in that system in the future. For example, the 2019 IAU NameExoWorlds campaign adopted the names Ceibo and Ibirapitá for the star HD 63454 and its exoplanet HD 63454b, respectively, with the system theme being "culturally significant species of trees native to Uruguay".
* Format: Proposed names should be provided in the Latin alphabet, and have an initial capitalized letter (following CSU Style Manual). If the original name contains diacritics or comes from a language using another alphabet or writing system, these names should be provided in Unicode UTF-8 where possible.
Following the Treaty of Luna, an armistice and subsequent peace agreement that brought an end to the Great Umurian War, Human Space is split in two. With the UCSS and the Umur Collective locked in a Cold War,
Both Hyperpowers fight over the Border regions , which Treaty of Luna had dictated that the UCSS rescind the membership of several border worlds, turning them into effective neutral zones. Lawless regions of space filled with pirates & criminals became another method of subterfuge.

Note: fm = first mentioned (book.chapter)
Colony / Planet 	System 	Planet Type 	Picture	Allegiance	Notes
Terra Nova 	Luyten's Star 	Coreworld 	 	 	Capital: Amundsen, Luytenan Commission, estimated population of around 4.68 Milliard. (Luyten b) One of the Priority-1 colonization prospects explored by the first wave of surveys following the invention of the Aeolus Drive. The first official World colonized by the UCSS. Oldest and strongest colony of Terra. Hasty development and the rapid introduction of Terran species led to the extinction of local life as well as noise, light pollution and traffic congestion. This industrial world is mainly based around manufacturing, the local government being a mere frontman for the industrial-military complex and e-finance services. While temperate, Terra Nova hosts a large equatorial desert, above average radiation and a unstable climate, however, its massive reserves of titanium and more importantly platinium caused a "metal rush", attracting millions. Terra Nova was the recipient of the massive waves of Terrans, Venusians and Martians that escaped the Sol System following the Kuiper Crisis. Many Novans, still harbor loyalties to their respective Motherplanets. Most Terra Novans think that the UCSS capital should have been relocated to their World.
Al-Masgid Fortress 	Luyten's Star 	Space Fortress 	 	 	Guards the Coreworld of Terra Nova. Also called the Luyten Fortress. Has a large civilian population.

The dried-up river beds are now mined by Exomine, which has leased the world's charter from Agrobotix. The unique environment has led to the presence of the UCSS military, which conducts various hostile environment training simulations. In the outer region of the system, there resides a jovian Gas Giant Entarabus (Delta Pavonis b), which moons are mined under an Exomine Charter. A Fourth World Empire colony, which was once conquered from the DRRP.

Colony / Planet 	System 	Planet Type 	Picture	Allegiance	Notes
Annona 	Carmel system 	Coreworld 	 	 	Capital: Salsabil, Al-Kauthar Cluster Commonwealth . Around 320 Million citizens. An unusual utopia, as it is an arctic tidally locked world, the dayside is a humid tropical jungle that slowly gives away to a large temperate zone that reaches to the edge of the twilight belt, then slowly turning into tundra that transforms into an arctic region, the farther you get away from the equator. Called the Cornucopia of Terra, Annona is rated as one of the most successful extraterrestrial colonies of humanity. The planet is remarkably suited for human habitation.

The Great Wastes: a dry expanse of a hard-packed fusion of clay and sodium-rich sand blown in from the Western Dunes, dominate the eastern half of Socorro. Not much distinguished the towns of Socorro as the poor standard of living is common. The cities were separated from each other by large expanses of deserts. Rural life, on the other hand, was mostly small farms that collected water from morning dew and farmed underground fungi for a meager living. The Great Drought that sweeps over the already deadly dry world, only impoverished its citizens more. The world is rich in Saltpeter and its surface contains silicate. Agrobotix easily acquired the local Charter from Exomine, after decades and decades of failed mining operations and low quality metals, to mine local Bischofite.

Wanlü 	Hanshui system 	Industrial World 	Capital: Xin Heyuan. A rarity among the Earth-distant colonies, Wanlü is a industrial world. While most industrial worlds tend to focus on refining mined materials or building machinery, Wanlü had a diverse array of industrial output producing everything from toys to spacecraft engines, this independent nature of Wanlü's industry alarmed the UCSS Government, fearing it to be a future plan for secession, causing heavy tariffs and sanctions to be labeled against the colony, when aforementioned tarffis failed to be implemented by local authorities. Aided by the Mayor of Wanlü's Capital, which the UCSS established to be the new General-Proprietor, and StellaSec, Democracy was quickly restored and Wanlü's Industries are forbidden to produce heavy industrial goods, with Wanlü quickly being strongarmed into a contract for the construction agricultural machinery by Agrobotix.

Colony / Planet 	System 	Planet Type 	Notes
Invictus 	Fortitudo system 	Antarctic/Fortress World 	Capital: Armapolis, Ice World, oldest outer limitrophe colony, never surrendered to the aliens/separatists. Had once a population as big as 21 Million. Dominated by ice cracking stations, which quietly stockpile large amounts of deuterium fuel for use by the local venusian fleet. Its deep ice ravines, which were bombed during the Laguna War, caused an exodus of Invicatans due to heavy radiation. Criminals from throughout the Region hide out on Invictus. Many of the well-reputated Invictans claim Balkan and Russian heritage. Laestadians, Pietistics, and Anabaptists settled en masse here.
Mavarannahr 	Afrasiab binary system 	Oasis/Fortress World 	Capital: Uroteppa, Oasis World, one of the older outer limitrophe colonies, its vast resources and stragetic location make it a target for many would-be conquerors. Used a as a refuling point by the local venusian fleets. Its serene oases, which were bombed during the Laguna War, caused an exodus of the locals due to heavy radiation. Laestadians, Pietistics, and Anabaptists settled en masse here.
Malaspina 	Madrigal system 	Outback/Quarantined World 	First encounter with the Madrigalians. Here the first blood of the Second Encounter War was spilled. United Rio colony.
Tannhäuser's Jump 	Tannhäuser's Jump 	Stellar Region 	A contested metal-rich region of space, near the Tannhäuser Jump Gate. Mercenaries often find work here, as the local conflicts seem never-ending. Agrobotix & Exomine often hire StellaSec goons to secure the Trade Routes, which backfires, as many turn into Outlaws and being raiding Trader ships. New Russia is a local meeting place for these thugs.
Vineta 	Hauer's Star system 	Panthalassic World 	Capital: Tellstadt, Capital of Tannhäuser's Jump region and home system of the infamous Tannhäuser Jump Gate. Location of the Battle of Three Peoples. Church of Progressed People colony.

Gression 	Hauer's Star system 	Extraction World/Green Hell	Capital: Case Alemanes, large habitable Moon of Vineta. A world of vast lakes, swamps, and jungle. The Battle of Gression, was a very bloody battle during the Secessionist Wars. The Secessionists build their deeply entrenched headquarters, the repurposed former UCSS "Fort Arkona", deep into the dangerous jungles of Gression. Harsh battles like the Battle of Mincemeat Hills were fought on mountain ranges covered in mossy cloud forests. A long siege by Governmental forces, long jungle warfare, the violent predatory nature of the local flora & fauna, and the wide usage of chemical defoliants during the war, make Gression a landmark of infamy in humanity's interstellar presence. "back in Gress" has become an idiom, to refer to a negative past event. The whole star system still shows the heavy scars of war. Church of Progressed People colony.
Procya 	Ixion Beta system 	Corporate World 	A Exomine "Cradle to Grave" company colony, Procya was settled by contract miners from the Procyon system, the local mining economy lives and dies lives on the price of titanium, which is locally abundant. Due to the non-breathable atmosphere, wage strikes can turn quite deadly.
Gotha 	Wettinia binary system 	Dead World 	A former industrialized world near Hauer's Star. Nodes of naturally occurring diamonds & rare earth metals caused heavy investment by Exomine in this world, during the Secessionist Wars, heavy fighting destroyed much of the industrial landscape, that was located around the capital Fort Santok. More devastation soom followed, as the attritional war moved into the extensive underground mines & tunnels, explosives used during battle caused chemical wastes, stored underground, to catch fire, partially-tapped veins of coal also ignited, starting an unstoppable blaze that burns and smolders to this day. The toxic gas mixture rises through large cracks in the ground into the atmosphere, killing most animal life, while rain causes toxic geysers to erupt. Travel to this planet is severely restricted, as sinkholes and toxic smoke can cause serious harm, this has not stopped looters from attempting to salvage the industrial ruins, many of them perishing in the process. There are rumors that toxic mutated monstrosities roam the ruins. Coburg & Meiningen two worlds in the same system, are still inhabited however and the UCSS is trying to rebuild the system. Former Church of Progressed People colony.
