Harlowism

**Harlowism** is a political movement and ideology popularised by and named after former political columnist Jonathan Harlow (2164–2258). It is based around white supremacy, scientific racism and advocacy of eugenics, being strongly inspired by the National-Socialist (or Nazi) movement of the 20th and 21st centuries.

In 2201, after the end of the Argentine-Jerichoan War, millions of refugees from the systems affected by the war arrived in the NAC, being primarily of Latin-American and Polish-Jewish descent. This caused outrage in reactionaries such as Harlow, who claimed this was an "invasion of [their] space" and "the first steps in white genocide (sic.)". Harlow, being hailed as a figurehead of this movement, gained tremendous support and started his own political podcast, The Jonathan Harlow Show, which at its peak was watched by millions.

By the 2220s, with the new wave of private space colonialism, there had been several failed attempts at colonisation by Harlowist groups. "Harlowist Parties" were gaining more and more traction in planetary governments across the Orion Arm, with a record 17.3% by the Harlowist Party of the Belt in the 2229 general election in the Consortium of the Belt. The Harlowist movement peaked in 2253 with the Harlowist insurrection, which was a series of Harlowist riots across the Orion Arm, with even an attempted coup d’état on Felicita in the Alexandria system. The riots were crushed by local forces and Jonathan Harlow, then aged 89, was arrested by the NAC government for inciting and supporting the insurrection. He died in prison in 2258.
Diesel

Diesel

Diesel is a black diesel shunter that was put on trial on the North Western Railway. He was sent away initially, but managed to change his ways after realizing what Boomer was doing was wrong.

## Biography

Little is known about the workshop Diesel was built in, but he was transferred to another workshop soon after and separated from his brothers. He was placed next to two twin shunters named Splatter and Dodge, and the three were soon purchased by Patrick Boomer soon after. In 1957, Diesel was sent to the North Western Railway on trial. Before leaving, Patrick Boomer gave him orders to cause trouble and stir the pot in order to make his plan easier to succeed. Diesel promised to do as he was told, but wasn't able to fulfill his promise. He did manage to frame Duck and get him sent away, but got caught when he tried to frame Henry and cause James to be a runaway. Toby also overheard his entire conversation with Duck where he overheard his entire plan. Diesel was sent away in disgrace and was given a harsh talking to by Boomer.

In 1959, he returned to Sodor to guard the engines being held at Crovan's Gate works. However, Edward managed to convince him that was he was doing was wrong. Despite claiming Boomer was all he had, Diesel realized he had nothing. He left the engines at the works unattended and returned to Knapford where he rescued Annie and Clarabel. He brought them across the island to the Barrow-In-Furness police station where he informed the police where Henry was. He brought them to the workshop to find that the Fat Controller and Boomer were already dead. Diesel then assisted Henry and James with stopping Diesel 10. He was later arrested and brought to the impound where it is unknown what will happen to him.

## Personality

Diesel is extremely introverted and quiet, but is arguably the smartest character in Sodor Then and Now. With an IQ of 146 to boast, Diesel was able to manipulate and frame Duck rather easily, but his ego and big mouth is what got him caught. He has his own deep thoughts on how the world should be, but often times keeps them to himself. Diesel was always rather skeptical of Boomer and Diesel 10, but was unsure of what to do and was too afraid to ditch them.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Diesel is based on a BR Class 08 Shunter. His top speed was adjusted to around 40 mph.

### Livery

Diesel is painted in all black with a red buffer beam and no numbers or lettering on him whatsoever.

Rusty

Rusty is a little orange diesel who works on the Skarloey Railway.

## Biography

Rusty was built in 1938 and was sent to Sodor in 1957. He arrived shortly before Duncan, who arrived a few months later. He mainly spent his time repairing the old railway tracks and keeping them well maintained. He formed a huge rivalry with Duncan but became friends with Sir Handel and Peter Sam.

Skarloey returned to the railway in 1958, and Rusty gave him a warm welcome back. He also continued to comfort Peter Sam after his accident and was able to settle his feud with Duncan.

In 1959, Rusty was hijacked by Peter Boomer. Duncan crashed into Rusty deliberately to get Peter Boomer out. Peter fell and was knocked unconscious. He later awoke and shot Rusty's driver and Duncan's crew dead. Rusty and Duncan were both left derailed and damaged from the attack.

## Personality

Rusty is a hardworking and dedicated little diesel who doesn't take nonsense from anyone. He quickly grew tired of Duncan's attitude and grew an appreciation for Peter Sam's optimism.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Rusty is based on the Talyllyn Railway's Midlander, a Ruston 44/48HP diesel.

#### Livery

Rusty is painted in all orange and his nameplates are painted white on each side.

## Appearances

* Sodor Then and Now 10: Boomer's Reign (S1, E10)

## Trivia

* Rusty was not going to appear in Boomer's Reign. In fact, he wasn't going to be introduced until Season 2. However, Rusty was introduced in the Railway Series in 1959, so GTSH realized he had to be introduced earlier.
* Rusty is male in Sodor Then and Now rather than non-binary.
Knapford

## Knapford Station

* Dryaw (*Ffarquhar Branch Line*)

**Knapford** is a small town on the River Els estuary, south of Tidmouth, of which it is a dormitory. Knapford serves as the junction for the Ffarquhar Branch Line and The Little Western

## History

For centuries the area below Elsbridge had been flooded both at high tide and when the river was in spate. At other times it looked innocent enough to tempt unwary invaders to choose this route inland. All without exception found themselves engulfed in bog.

During the 1880s, the Ulfstead Mining Company became interested in the minerals (lead mostly) waiting to be found on the higher ground east of the marsh; but without a firm footing they could not be either extracted or transported away. Accordingly they called in A. W. Dry & Co who had experience of working on drainage problems in East Anglia. A. W. Dry built embankments across the flats north and south of the river (along which the main line of the railway now runs) and installed tide gates. The river was then embanked along its south eastern side, but the opposite bank was left open to provide a flood-pool for the normal river flow which could be drained off every day at low tide. It thus remained a marsh where the Elsbridge fenmen could carry on their activities as before and since this, fortunately, was the side of the river they preferred, they offered little opposition to A. W. Dry's drainage operations on the east.

The present station at Knapford Station is the third on the site and dates from 1956 when Sir Charles Topham Hatt disturbed by the congestion at Tidmouth, launched his Knapford Harbour Development Scheme. There are now two stations at Knapford - Junction and Harbour. Knapford Station has been useful as a supplementary harbour, but its exposed position has not enabled it to provide the best answer to Sir Topham Hatt's problem. That was why in 1966 he went north to see what could be done at Arlesburgh.

The town of Knapford itself, though an important railway junction, is in a bleak position. It is a railway and dock town. Few people live here apart from railwaymen, dock workers and drainage engineers. It had a population of 2,200 in 1951. Farming, fishing and fowling also form part of the local economy.
Gresley’s Greatest

## Plot

Sir Nigel Gresley has visited Sir Bertram Topham Hatt with a proposition. Gresley's new prototype has proven extremely successful in London and he wants to see how he'll do in a less populated area. Bertram is aware that he needs more engines and agrees to purchase Gordon for a bargain price. When Bertram is confronted by Gresley about how he's handling the Big Four, Bertram admits he has no idea which side he wants to choose. Gresley then suggests privatization, and Bertram agrees to meet with the LNER's head office. Gordon, the A1 prototype, arrives on Sodor and proves to be arrogant and disagreeable. He immediately forms a dislike for Edward and Thomas. Bertram states that he will soon be determining the permanent express engine on the Sodor Railway and that Edward, Henry, and Gordon will all take turns pulling the express to see who does it the fastest, safest, and most reliably. Soon after, Bertram and Nigel travel to the mainland to visit the LNER's head office, and after a bit of persuasion and discussion, Sodor's Railways are granted as a private company entitled the North Western Railway. Bertram returns to Sodor to announce privatization and to oversee the engines' trials. Edward's trial goes well and he manages to hit top speed, something he hasn't done since the railway first opened. Henry's run goes well too, and he manages to show how far he's come since he first arrived. Gordon's trial ends up being a failure after Gordon plays a trick on Thomas by dragging Thomas along for the run. Gordon is scolded and punished for his behavior and Henry is named permanent express engine. However, after Bertram asks Henry to pull the flying kipper, Henry ends up in a serious accident leaving him extremely damaged. Henry is sent to Crewe works for a complete rebuild and Gordon is placed in charge of the express after he apologizes for his behavior.

## Characters

* Gordon
* Sir Bertram Topham Hatt
* Henry
* Sir Nigel Gresley
* Edward
* Thomas
* William Whitelaw
* Henry's Driver
* Henry's Fireman
* Rheneas *(DOES NOT SPEAK)*

## Trivia

* This episode took the least amount of time to produce, taking only a week to film and two weeks to edit
* It is heavily debated whether or Gordon or Sir Bertram Topham Hatt is the lead in this episode. GTSH intended for Gordon to be the lead but the episode seems to lean more towards Sir Bertram
* The Adam Norman scene at the beginning is part of a huge plot-point revealed at the end of *Boomer's Reign*
* The Adam Norman scene at the beginning of the episode was added in last minute because GTSH wanted Adam Norman to have little scenes sprinkled throughout the first two seasons.
* The scenes involving Sir Bertram and the LNER head-office were not included in the initial draft and were only added in during the second draft.
* Rheneas is the only narrow gauge engine to appear in this episode.
Vicarstown

**Vicarstown** (often misspelled as **Vickerstown**) is the largest city on the far eastern side of Sodor.

## History

The North Western Railway extended to Vicarstown in 1915 and built their main Motive Power Depot and Administrative Headquarters here, as well as a rolling lift bridge connecting Sodor with the Mainland. After the 1925 agreement with the LMS to allow NWR trains to travel across the bridge to Barrow-in-Furness there was no further use required. A smaller replacement station and shed were built for the engines operating the car ferry service in 1927/8, and the turntable was taken up and installed at Barrow, while the headquarters moved to the other end of the main line at Knapford. Thomas served as the station pilot here until being transferred to his branch line in 1926.
Barrow-in-Furness

* Roose (*BR; Furness Line*)
* Island Road (*BR; Ramsden Dock Branch Line; formerly*)

**Barrow-in-Furness**, commonly known as **Barrow**, is a town and borough in Cumbria, North West England.

## History

### *The Railway Series*

The North Western Railway has had running powers into Barrow Central station since an agreement with the LMS in 1925. For "through" trains, NWR engines are detached and BR, or "Other Railway", engines take over. Since 1925, the North Western Railway has also had a shed, turntable and servicing facility here. There is also a joint goods yard for exchange traffic.

In May 1941, the station's original building was completely destroyed by the bombing during the Barrow Blitz of World War II. The station was completely rebuilt with a new building in the late 1950s.
Season 1

**Season 1** of Sodor Then & Now premiered on YouTube on the 4th of December, 2018 and ended on the 24th of May, 2021. It consisted of 10 episodes. Shortly after Episode 10's release, Season 2 was confirmed

## Plot

1915 sees the opening of the North Western Railway under the jurisdiction of Sir Bertram Topham Hatt and run by two engines called Thomas and Edward. Over the next decade, the railway procures five more engines, those being Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, and Toby. Each come from different backgrounds. Henry was built by a crook named Patrick Boomer. Gordon was a prototype of the infamous A1 Class built by Sir Nigel Gresley. James worked for former L&YR controller George Hugh. Percy came straight from a workshop. Toby worked in East Anglia on the coastal regions of the U.K. Following the second world war, the struggling Skarloey Railway obtains Sir Handel and Peter Sam to assist the aging duo of Skarloey and Rheneas. Sir Bertram's leadership becomes weaker and weaker overtime. Even after the arrival of Duck in 1955 and Donald and Douglas in 1959, Sir Bertram finds his role in jeapordy after Henry's builder seeks revenge on all those who wronged him with the help of his son Peter, Diesel 10, Diesel, Splatter, and Dodge.

Species Hierarchy

The Species Hierarchy is a hierarchy that organises the species in Embynn from least to most powerful. It orders them based on magic strength, natural weapons (which sometimes crosses catogories into magic strength), and ability to drastically alter the world.

The Species Hierarchy is as follows: humans, griffins, mermaids, fairies, gods.

The Species Hierarchy also works out the species of a baby. If two different species breed, the baby will be the species that is higher on the hierarchy. For example, if a human and a griffin breed, the baby will always be a griffin because it is higher on the hierarchy.

*Note: gods cannot breed, and if a fairy breeds, the baby will not be a fairy unless the specific condition is met, so they are effectively redundant in the Species Birth Hierarchy*

He’s Number One

**He's Number One** is the second episode of *Sodor Then & Now*. It was first uploaded on GTSH's old channel on **February 2nd, 2019**, before the channel was terminated. It was uploaded on **August 21, 2019** on the new channel. It was then remastered and uploaded on August 5th, 2023.

## Plot

A young tank engine named Thomas finds himself involved in many accidents and mishaps on the LBSC. He's also constantly being harassed by his brothers and only has his friend Whiff for moral support. Without being given a true chance to prove himself, Thomas is sent to the Island of Sodor to construct the Sodor Railway. There, he meets Edward who takes him under his wing. Together, the two manage to make steady progress on the railway in a matter of weeks. However, Thomas has a crash with some troublesome trucks, and begins to question his worth. After a number mix up at the works, Edward agrees to have Thomas labeled as the Sodor Railway's Number 1. Edward is then labeled as Number 2. After he is repaired, Thomas is sent to collect some new coaches for the railway. Two of these coaches include Annie and Clarabel, who meet Thomas for the first time. Meanwhile, Sir Bertram requests to take his mother on a trip to find him a suitable hat to fit his family name. At a clothing store, the two find a top hat that Bertram purchases and calls his own. On the day of the grand opening, Bertram thanks Thomas and Edward for their hard work and reminds them of what to do. At Knapford Station, Bertram gives a speech and Thomas and Edward pull the first two trains on the Sodor Railway. Edward manages to reach his top speed of 70 miles per hour and is rewarded with being the express engine for the Sudrian Railway. The episode concludes with Edward and Thomas congratulating one another for their accomplishments, and with Patrick Boomer laying down his stolen blueprints with the intent of building his own engine.

* This episode is the first episode to be filmed with umbrella lights, enhancing the video quality greatly.
* GTSH regards the scene where Edward hits his top speed to be his worst scene.
* The song *The Sound Of Silence* was originally going to be the music video played, but was replaced with *I Know How the Moon Must Feel* because no instrumental versions were available and GTSH didn't want to appear too similar to *Sudrian Conflict.*

Orion Arm

The **Orion Arm** is a minor spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy that is 3,500 light-years (1,100 parsecs) across and approximately 10,000 light-years (3,100 parsecs) in length, containing the Solar System, including Earth. It is also referred to by its full name, the **Orion–Cygnus Arm**, as well as **Local Arm**, **Orion Bridge**, and formerly, the **Local Spur** and **Orion Spur**.

The arm is named for the Orion Constellation, which is one of the most prominent constellations of Northern Hemisphere winter (Southern Hemisphere summer). Some of the brightest stars and most famous celestial objects of the constellation (e.g. Betelgeuse, Rigel, the three stars of Orion's Belt, the Orion Nebula) are within it as shown on the interactive map below.

The arm contains the entire extent of human civilisation, with almost 50 billion humans living across almost 100 star systems. There are four main interstellar powers dominating the Orion Arm: the North Atlantic Conglomerate, the United Republics of Bharat, the Technocratic State of Argentina and the Holy Arab League. There are also smaller interstellar powers, such as the United Proxima Federation, Egypt or the Commonwealth of Lambda Aurigae. The remaining systems are usually governed by planetary governments.

Smaller governments have also been at the center of interstellar conflicts and have long struggled against the major powers. Notable examples include the Argentine-Jerichoan War, the 2243–44 Sidewinder conflict and the Great Orion War.

Saturn

**Saturn** is the sixth planet from Sol and the second-largest in the Sol System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine and a half times that of Earth. Saturn is a major trading port in the Sol system, being home to the largest gas mining stations in the Orion Arm. Along with its moons, it was first settled in the 2080s, primarily for mining purposes.
Palatinate Sector

The **Palatinate Sector** is the name given to the sector of space in the central counter-clockwise region of the Orion Arm, located between the Technocratic State of Argentina (counter-clockwise rimside), Free State of Jericho (rimside) and North Atlantic Conglomerate (clockwise).

## Astrography

By the general consensus, the Palatinate Sector consists of 8 colonised star systems and around 40 charted uncolonised systems.
Technocratic State of Argentina

The **Technocratic State of Argentina** (TSA) is a large colonial empire spanning 9 star systems. It was founded in 2030 after the fall of the Argentine Empire, which was led by emperor Bertrand of Orléans-Braganza who was the emperor of the Brazilian Empire from 2028 to 2029 before fleeing to Argentina. It is now one of the four main powers in the Orion Arm.

イリス都 (Japanese)

Iris on Avalon

**Iris** /ˈaɪɹɪs/ is the most populous city outside of Earth and the political center of the North Atlantic Conglomerate. Located on the central continent Camelot, the Greater Iris Area acts as an autonomous body within the administrative divisions of the NAC on Avalon. It is bordered by the French Avalon Territory and the German Avalon Territory.
Albion

**Albion** is the largest moon of the gas giant Tacitus, located in the Blake system. Due to its close proximity to the Providence system, Albion is located on the largest trading route in the Orion Arm. It was first settled in August 2153 as one of 9 planets colonised as part of the Beyond mission. Albion was settled by the passengers of the *Beyond 4* spaceship.
People's Republic of Tyrrhena

The **People's Republic of Tyrrhena** is a sovereign state on Mars which is located in Tyrrhena Terra, after which it is named.

## Geography

### Climate & Biodiversity

Being located on Mars, the climate in Tyrrhena is cold and hostile, with semi-frequent dust storms and no living organisms outside of the many domed cities and habitat groups. These cities are pressurised environments with regulated climates and, in designated areas, lush vegetation with natural parks where wildlife roams free. The habitat groups are large groups of habitat pods not protected by a pressurised dome.
Helvetica

**Helvetica** (officially **82 G. Eridani f III**, **Baal III**) is the largest moon of the gas giant Baal, located in the habitable zone of the Constance system. It was first settled in 2148 by Swiss colonists in an effort to migrate the entire Swiss population over to a new world, after trying in vain to save the environment on Earth. It is one of five planets, including Earth, where multicellular animal life was found (the other three being Aldebaran III, Trafalgar and Meridian).
Jeremiah Cain

President
 Deputy
 Born

**Jeremiah Bruce Niall Cain** (/ˈkeɪn/; born November 17, 2244) is an Arcadian politician who serves as the 56th secretary of state of the North Atlantic Conglomerate and, after president Sophie Levallois' assassination serves as interim president of the NAC. As a member of the Onward Orion! party, he served as the 34th governor of his home planet, Arcadia.
Aurora Colonial Republic

The **Aurora Colonial Republic** is a planetary government in the Everest system. It was founded in 2217 when it was settled by the 1,500 colonists aboard the *Aurora* spaceship sent by Firenze Aerospace. It was one of the first independent extrasolar colonies and sparked a new wave of interstellar colonisation.
North Atlantic Conglomerate

The **North Atlantic Conglomerate** (NAC) is a union of 17 planets and satellites spanning over 13 systems. Founded during World War III from the ashes of NATO, it is now one of the four main powers in the Orion Arm.

### Administrative divisions

#### Planetary states

Main article: List of planetary states of the North Atlantic Conglomerate
The NAC is subdivided into 28 planetary states, which are defined as being autonomous astropolitical entities governing areas on single celestial bodies. These 28 planetary states are located on over 26 planets and moons spread across 13 star systems. Planetary states have some form of self-authority with their own governments.

#### Constituent nations

The constituent nations of the NAC are a variety of nation states descended from the old countries of Earth.
Tiberius

**Tiberius** is the third planet from Victoria Prime and one of 9 planets colonised as part of the Beyond mission. It was first settled in 2156 by the passengers of the *Beyond 3* spaceship. Tiberius being the main trading port of the Victoria system, it played a capital role in the colonisation of the Lesser systems in the early 23rd century.
Epsilon Eridani system

The **Epsilon Eridani system** (**ε Eri**, **ε Eridani**) is a star system in the North Atlantic Conglomerate. It was the second extrasolar system to be colonised after Proxima Centauri. Epsilon Eridani was colonised as part of the Reach colonial mission, first settled by the colonists aboard the *Reach 1* spaceship in 2117.
Tempest

**Tempest**, also known as **Tau Ceti b** (τ Cet b), is the second planet from the star Tau Ceti and one of the 4 planets colonised as part of the Reach mission. It was first settled in 2120 by the passengers of the **Reach 2** spaceship. Being strategically located close to both the Sol system and the Palatinate Sector, Tempest is a major local power and a popular trading post.
Hill's Planet

**Hill's Planet** is the third planet from Providence. It is an *O*-class planet, meaning all of its settlements are in the form of underwater arcologies and floating platforms. It was first settled in 2138 as the final step in the Union of Avalon's 20-year plan to establish a human presence in every corner of the Providence system.

The **Great Orion War**, sometimes referred to as the **Second Orion War** (in reference to the Argentine-Jerichoan War being considered the first), was a wide-reaching military conflict that spanned the entire Orion Arm. It started after the assassination of NAC president Sophie Levallois which was blamed on the Union of Outer Colonies, when it was in fact performed by the terrorist group The Circle. As a consequence, Earth was completely destroyed in the Battle of Earth, leaving behind less than 1 million survivors.
Trafalgar

**Trafalgar** is the fourth planet from Antioch. It was first colonised in 2230 during the new wave of interstellar colonisation towards the sector known as the Lesser systems. It is a primarily desert planet with lush forests around the equator and poles composed of unicellular organisms feeding off of photosynthesis and underground lakes. Multicellular fauna also exists on Trafalgar, one of only five planets (including Earth) where native life was discovered, the other three being Helvetica, Aldebaran III and Meridian.
Titan

**Titan** is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite in the Sol system. It is the only moon in the Sol system known in the to have a dense atmosphere. Due to its surface seas and lakes consisting of ethane and methane, Titan has become an extremely valuable asset in the interstellar gas economy, being the largest supplier of these gases in the Orion Arm.
Russian Federation

The **Russian Federation** (ambiguously known as **Russia**) is a nation state on Earth and one of the two major factions in the Russian Civil War of the 2020s. By the late 23rd century the Federation's power had greatly diminished and the country had become largely dependent on the North Atlantic Conglomerate.
List of planetary states of the North Atlantic Conglomerate

Listed below are the constituent **planetary states** of the North Atlantic Conglomerate. A planetary state is defined as being an autonomous astropolitical entity governing an area on a single celestial body. These are not to be confused with the constituent nations of the North Atlantic Conglomerate.

**World War III** or the **Third World War** was a series of conflicts around Earth in 2031 that concluded with the Treaty of Gibraltar, putting an end to a violent nuclear conflict that destroyed most urban centers on Earth and left the planet in a harsh nuclear winter.
Psi Draconis system

The **Psi Draconis system** (**ψ Draconis**, **ψ1 Draconis**) is a star system located in Uncharted Space discovered by civilian explorers. It is home to a *D*-class planet nicknamed Mausoleum because of a large underground megastructure resembling an ancient city that did not correspond to any human architectural styles. In this megastructure, researchers have found a tomb with an alien corpse, theorised to belong to an ancient ruler of an unknown civilisation that has since been nicknamed the Architects. Little is known about the Architects, but it is thought that they were an ancient interstellar civilisation and that Mausoleum was not their home planet.
Earth

**Earth**, also referred to as **Terra**, is the third planet from Sol and the first celestial body to have been known to harbor life. It is the planet of origin of humans, who have since colonised dozens of other star systems. For centuries it was the cultural and political center of the Orion Arm, despite being slowly running out of resources and suffering from overpopulation. Earth was partially destroyed during World War III, which led to a rise of sea levels by around 100 meters. It was later completely destroyed during the Great Orion War in 2295, leaving less than half a million survivors on the dying planet.
Constance system

The **Constance system** (officially **82 G. Eridani**) is a star system located in the Palatinate Sector. It was first settled in 2148 by Swiss colonists in an effort to migrate the entire Swiss population over to a new world, after trying in vain to save the environment on Earth. It is now the main trading port of the Palatinate sector after the Outreach system.
Aldebaran III

**Aldebaran III**, sometimes simply referred to as **Aldebaran**, is the third planet from the star Aldebaran. It was first settled in 2101 by colonists aboard the *Halcyon*. However, the *Halcyon* became stranded due to a fuel shortage and thus, with no means to contact Earth, the passengers and crew have been left isolated ever since. With not enough budget to send a rescue mission, the *Halcyon* was presumed missing and everyone on board lost.

However, to this day descendants of the first settlers have continued to inhabit the planet, surviving through the harsh environment and dangerous fauna and flora. The population has grown to around 38 thousand humans, organised in small settlements and communities around the planet, but mostly concentrated around Yemoja, the largest and first settled continent.
Sol system

The **Sol system** (formerly known as the **Solar system**) is the most populous system in the Orion Arm and the star system of origin of humans. It was humanity's only home until the first extrasolar expansion in 2056 and the colonisation of Proxima. The Sol system remains the center of all trade and a major political influence in the Orion Arm.
Mercury

**Mercury** is the smallest planet in the Sol system and the closest to Sol. It was first settled in 2085 by the *Hermes* colonial venture. Its goal was to establish a permanent human presence on Mercury, with humans living in dome cities in craters located in the permanent twilight zone of Mercury, which is an area where the Sun never fully rises or sets, allowing for more manageable temperatures as well as permanent solar power.
List of planetary governments

Listed below are the **planetary governments** of the Orion Arm. A planetary government is defined as being an independent astropolitical entity governing an area on a single celestial body large enough to be spherical (i.e. asteroids do not count as planetary governments). This means that more than one planetary governments can exist on one body. A government that has colonised the natural satellites of its main body still counts as a planetary government.

The order refers to their order of orbit from Saturn, while their label refers to their order of discovery (e.g. Enceladus is Saturn II). Additionally, there are around 1.06 million inhabitants spread across the other minor moons, asteroids and trojans orbiting Saturn, as well as 14 thousand living in low-Saturn orbit and upper atmosphere mining stations.
Union of Outer Colonies

The **Union of Outer Colonies** is a union of 9 minor, recently colonised star systems with the goal of mutual economic, political and military protection. They were at the forefront of the Great Orion War, being accused of being responsible for the assassination of NAC president Sophie Levallois, leading to a coalition led by the NAC to form against them.
Antioch system

Planets of the Antioch system

The **Antioch system** is a star system located in the Lesser systems sector. It was first settled in 2219 when the the mining company Further, founded by Sebastián Ferrón, colonised Sidewinder. Antioch has since become the main trade center in the Lesser systems after the Everest system.
