## **Main Solar System**: Nexarion

Nexarion [nɛkˈsɛriən] is the main solar system, consisting of nine planets, one yellow dwarf sun, three International-Space-Trade-Centers (ISTC) and sixteen (16) moons/planetoids.

**Naheaa:** Naheaa [naˈhiːə], known as the eye of heaven and the lightbringer, serves as the main epicenter of life and is the only sun in the solar system of Nexarion. It is worshiped by many species of Nexarion, with the goddess Nah'aar [naˈhɑr] being connected to it.

1. **Xeraxis:** Xeraxis [ˈzɛræksɪs] is one of the smallest planets in Nexarion. It is a sparsely populated planet with little to no plants. Widely known for it's vast red deserts and nomadic species Esh'krin [ɛʃˈkrɪn], it is the closest planet to Naheaa. Temperatures on Xeraxis can reach up to 95°C/203°F, accompanied by strong winds reaching up to 560 km/h; 348 mph.
2. **Zunara:** Zunara [zuˈnɑrə] is a gas dwarf planet and the second in the system. It is uninhabited by any lifeforms and consists mostly of metallic hydrogen. The abundance of metallic hydrogen is exploited by [Hydrogen-Mining-Company-Placeholder], which is extracting most of it. Many wars have been fought over it's resources, but since [Hydrogen-Mining-Company-Placeholder] took over the monopoly, conflicts have died down. Partly because [Hydrogen-Mining-Company-Placeholder] has aggressively increased security around the planet.
3. **Nexus Prime:** Nexus Prime ['nɛksəs praɪm], the second-largest planet of the system, serves as the main political and commercial center of the universe. On its surface, many different species from various homeworlds live together, primarily for mercantile reasons. Conflicts and political disputes arise on a daily basis, and crime is quite common. The political system is a presidential democracy representing the interests of all races in the known universe. However, the system is fragile, and corruption occurs daily; nevertheless, the Parliament changes the course of many individuals' lifes. Still some people wish for the downfall of Nexus Prime.
4. **Epsilon:** Epsilon [ˈɛpsɪlɒn], the third most sizeable planet in the system, follows Nexus Prime in the planetary order. It is home to two native species, the [Name1] and the [Name2], which historically have always been at war. Only recently, since the "Order of [PeaceTreaty]," they have been officially at peace. The treaty was negotiated by the neutral mediators of [PlanetName]. However, despite the signage and ratification by both nations, disputes of both unarmed and armed nature still occur. This ancient conflict has persisted for indefinite aeons, leading both sides to forget the actual justification for warfare. Their hostilities have not been confined solely to Epsilon, spreading to other planets such as Zunara, [PlanetNameOther], or [PlanetUwUOther]. The most devastating bloodshed for the native species occurred on [PlanetNameOther], erasing almost all of [SpeciesOfPlanetNameOther] and destroying most of the nature.
5. **Tau Ceti:** Tau Ceti [taʊ ˈsiːtaɪ] or TC-I is a colossal planet and the largest in the entire solar system, with a radius measuring well over 100,000 km/62,140 miles. The entire surface is rich in natural resources like iron, copper and the very rare precious metal keket. Tau Ceti is home to three species, two of which live in harmony, while one ravages and raids the other two. The dominant race, [EvilRace], annexed the nation of [EnslavedRace] over 700 NXYs ago, exploiting their natural resources and selling off [EnslavedRace] as slaves to the rest of the system. The long occupation has left them technologically undeveloped, living simple lives with basic tools, rendering them completely unable to break free from the technologically superior warriors of [Evil Race]. On the other hand, [ResilientSpecies] have been trying to fight off [EvilRace] for years, sometimes with more or less success. Even though the conflict tears gaping holes in their budget, spending over 50% on defense, they are native to science and highly developed. [ResilientSpecies] therefore play an important role in international politics and are involved in intersolar business.
6. **Tau Ceti inferior:** Tau Ceti inferior [taʊ ˈsiːtaɪ ɪnˈfɪəriər] or TC-II is a skeletal hull of a planet. Once almost as large as Tau Ceti, it was home to [Evil Race]. However, after the excavation of almost all its resources, [EvilRace] migrated to TC-I. Formerly rich in keket, [EvilRace] was the dominating nation in the entire universe. Still, after the events of the Great Keket Crisis, they became one of the poorest. Their reliance on monopolizing keket mining paved the way for their economic downfall. Forced to flee from TC-II, they set up a new colonization on TC-I, leaving most of their equipment and technological advances behind on Tau Ceti Inferior. After their departure, their old home planet started to deteriorate rapidly. The planet's own decay has been ongoing for the last 17,000 NXYs and couldn't be halted. Today, half of its core is missing, and only some veins of earth are floating around it in space. From far away, the structure appears to be a rotting skeleton.
7. **Mar'shorra:** Mar'shorra [mɑrˈʃɔrə] is renowned throughout Nexarion for its constant rainfall. This lush planet boasts abundant nature and plants, with massive rainfall, and is inhabited by the people of [SwampRace]. Perfectly adapted to the swampy landscape of Mar'shorra and capable of breathing underwater, the natives are ideal defenders. [SwampRace] is known to have never lost a war, as they are not hostile towards any other races and have remained a defensive nation throughout history. No other sovereign state has been able to occupy the swampy lands and exploit their resources.
8. **Cragis:** Cragis [ˈkræɡɪs], a planet spiked with mountains and filled with deep caverns is home to the giant race of [BergRace]. Born deep down in caverns they rarely make their way up to the surface but if they do then at great speeds. Their long limbs and petite bodys make them excellent climbers who are able to maneuver through tiny cracks and move up soaring heights. The tribe of the [BergRace] are not well know and few ever leave the planet. Not too much has been documented about their history as well as their speech if they even communicate. Their population size, economy and social structures are also unknown.
9. **Goletem:** Goletem [ˈɡoʊlɛtɛm], also known as Galet [ɡəˈleɪ], is the ninth and final planet of Nexarion. Galet was an asteroid long before life itself, wandering through the vast emptiness of space. It is believed to have been the first planet in the solar system, laying the foundation for the rest. It is assumed that Galet collided with another asteroid named Tem, resulting in the transformation into the ice dwarf planet Goletem. While most of the universe refers to it as Goletem, some religious groups still use its original name, Galet, to this day. In the distant past, Goletem was double its current size, boasting rich resources, fertile lands, and a variety of life forms. However, in the present, Goletem is completely covered in ice, frozen through to its core. Temperatures on the planet reach as low as -144°C/-227°F, rendering it inhospitable to any life.
