HSI Nicolet / Echartums is the first system colonized by the HSI StarSeed Program, an initiative put forward to enforce Human and Human-analogue dominance over the galaxies of the universe after Human discovery of wormholeing technology.
Echartums is inhabited and exploited by the Tsaskori, StarSeeded on Nicolet IV "Tsaski."
== HSI Nicolet / Echartums ==
Human : Nicolet, for Avril Nicolet, HSI Researcher who opened the first wormhole.
Tsaskori : Echartums, translates to ''the embrace'' in the Surk language, stemming from Ec-ta-Ruomm in proto-Surkic for an ancient Tsaskori creator god [He Holds / He That Holds.]
== Nicolet I / Chepant ==
Human : Nicolet I
Tsaskori : Chepant, for Sukya Chepant, a prominent Lame industrialist in early Tsaskori history.
Chepant is a hot, arid terra averaging 847oF. In the modern age, Chepant is utilized as a low-cost scrap/smelt operation for various Tsaskori spaceflight industries based in Lame territories. Scrap ships and industrial materials are deposited on the surface, and retrieved years later after sitting in the equivalent of a planetary slow-cooker.
== Nicolet II / Nyany ==
Human : Nicolet II
Tsaskori : Nyany, for Tije Nyany, an early Tsakori astronomer hailing from the Lame city-state of Tirkens.
Nyany is a tidally locked, hot, arid terra averaging 556oF. Nyany is one of the most prominent objects in the skies of Tsaski, leading to the worlds early local discovery by amateur Tsaskori polymath Tije Nyany early in the Middle Ages. In modern times, Nyany is home to a scattered handful of automated industrial outposts, processing greenhouse gas and core energy emissions to fuel starship and prefab manufacturing.
=== Wurt ===
Wurt is the sole moon of Nyany, an airless rock exploited only for supplemental materials for refined goods export due from Nyany.
== Nicolet III / Sisyatenn ==
Human : Nicolet III
Tsaskori : Sisyatenn, from Sosya Atennkka, Jilums for "Great Sea-Beyond." Name is taken from the ancient Jilums Tsaskori concept of the afterlife manifesting as a sea unlimited in scope and depth,
Sisyatenn is a warm superoceania with a thick and dense atmosphere. The world has no modern economic or social application among the Tsaskori.
== Cherokee / Tsaski ==
Main Article : Tsaski
Human : Cherokee
Tsaskori : Tsaski, from T-a-kare, proto-Surkic word meaning ''our world.''
== Nicolet V / Lerk ==
Human : Nicolet V
Tsaskori : Lerk, from a common Tsaskori cognate roughly translating to ''close neighbor.'' Though not noted in HSI records, the word is likely implanted as a concept resulting from the Tsaskori's StarSeed engineering by their Human progenitors. From a philological standpoint, terms like neighbor, friend, community-member, and co-worker (translated more specifically in Tsaskori dialects to ''friend in labor'') being gene-programmed into their concepts of language encourage Tsaskori development into their present communal societal structure.
Lerk is a cold, arid subaquaria averaging -233oF. Despite the extreme difference in climate between Lerk and Tsaski, the world would be the primary target for early-mid phases of the Tsaskori spaceflight programs, owing to the species understanding of their own internal physiological adaptation to the cold and processing of radiation in frigid environments. In modern times, Lerk serves largely as an urban colony, exporting more art and cultural goods than material and industrial. Several major cities exist on Lerk, many of which have begun to develop into their own entirely unique subcultures in Tsaskori history.
=== Purchiwpemn ===
First major moon of Lerk, name derived from a proto-Surkic text codifying rules and conduct in bronze-age Tsaskori society of the Southern Wiwamn Archipelago.
=== Tepywe ===
Second major moon of Lerk, named for Aji Tepywe, a Tsaskori astronomer in the late-middle ages hailing from the Lame city-state of Teneyk.
=== Sirawas ===
Third major moon of Lerk, named for a character in a work by Tsaskori playwright Pikwakwal Nyimnunt, Nyu Luw' Pa Jayw (In the Fields of the Flowers,) known for her unnervingly pale features.
=== Rirni ===
Fourth major moon of Lerk, named for a mythological predator in the folklore of the Lekwu culture of Tsaskori. This creature was fabled to envy the robust muscles of the Tsaskori letting them live on and exploit the ground, and so would descend in great numbers upon ancient, solitary Tsaskori wayfarers, and snatching them up to the sky to devour the primitive Human-analogue to supplement their light, hollow Tsaski physiognomy. 
== Nicolet VI / Lames ==
Human : Nicolet VI
Tsaskori : Lames, from a demonym for those hailing from the Lame culture on Tsaski, one of three major Tsaskori powers tracing its lineage the world's prehistory. Formerly named Enn, Lames was the first world to be colonized in full in the name of a single Tsakori nation, although in modern times Lames and the Lame nation entire is a part of the galactist Chel Rann, the same status as the former nations of Surk and Lekwu.
Lames is a frigid, arid aquaria averaging -311oF. Colonized in the silver age of Tsaskori space travel, Lames was the first world colonized by the Tsaskori entirely in the name of a single nation. Lames would go on to become the center of Lame culture for over 350 years before the galactisation of the Tsaskori, and in modern times exist as the stellar multicultural hub of the Echartums System.
== Nicolet VII / Sarlar ==
Human : Nicolet VII
Tsaskori : Sarlar, from the Lekwu Tsaskori word for the gemstone emerald, named in reference to the play on light refracting through the atmosphere at the planet's poles. 
Sarlar is a frigid, arid aquaria averaging -336oF. For most of Tsaskori spacefaring history, Sarlar's aqueous composition and distance from Tsaski left it a poor resource to exploit by the Chel Rann. In modern times, Sarlar has been established as a Chel Rann Naval Installation, featuring several of the Tsaskori's largest surface borne shipyard operations, manufacturing primarily fighters and personnel carriers. 
=== Yepa ===
The only moon of Sarlar, Yepa is named for the general Tsaskori cognate meaning "miner/one who mines." The naming is to invoke the image of an industrious worker exploiting a gemstone.
== Nicolet IIX / Wuy'ul ==
Human : Nicolet IIX
Tsaskori : Wuy'ul, from the poetic phrase "Wuy'ja yasi lurk rins chel jeyr'ul," translating roughly to "some place far from our own." The phrase is taken from a seminal work by an ancient Lekwu Tsaskori poet, Lakya Jissey'.
Wuy'ul is a frigid, arid aquaria averaging -367oF. Astronomers in the early ages of Tsaskori spaceflight theorized a potentially habitable planet in this orbital region, leading to the name drawn from a cultural concept of a golden land outside of Tsaski's Wiwamn Archipelago. However, the first probe sent out from Tsaski to perform a flyby on the outer planets of Echartums, Sat Yers, would reveal Wuy'ul as a firigid ball of ice no different than any of Echartum's other outer worlds. These disappointing developments would fuel the Tsaskori's accelerated desire to master interstellar flight. In modern times, the over 50 billion hectares of surface space on Wuy'ul have been fully mapped, sectioned off, and made available for sale to enterprises and private citizens, both Tsaskori and those of the greater galactic community.
=== Nasaplu ===
Nasaplu is one of Wuy'ul's two major moons. The larger of the two, Nasaplu is used as a base of operation for Chel Rann federal services supporting local and extrastellar industry based on Wuy'ul.
=== Umn ===
Umn is the smaller of two major moons orbiting Wuy'ul. Umn has no modern commercial or practical application among the Tsaskori. The name is taken from Urs-Umn, a proto-Surkic settlement from Tsaskori prehistory.
== Nicolet IX / Yare ==
Human : Nicolet IX
Tsaskori : Yare, from a Lekwu-Tsaskori conception of a hell-like afterlike keeping punished souls frozen until the realm would warm to release them and punish the sinful in life. 
Yare is a frigid, arid aquaria averaging -367oF. The world was long-theorized to exist by Tsaskori astronomers. however. the existence of Yare wouldn't be confirmed until the launch of a second probe borne for the outer planets, Sat Wi, which had been programmed with a theoretical trajectory to intercept the proposed world. Yare proved as unremarkable as the rest of the outer worlds of Echartums. In modern times, Yare is home to a small handful of medium-capacity prison complexes serving both the Chel Rann and the InterFed. Criminal justice on Tsaski is reformative where possible, leaving punitive measures like those housed on Yare for criminals such as murderers and long term, repeat offenders.
=== Wich ===
Wich is the only moon orbiting Yare. It is named for an airborne natural fauna of Tsaski considered in Lekwu folklore to be a guardian of the Yare afterlife. The world has no modern application among the Tsaskori.
