Imvia'roshya

Imvia'roshya is a star system controlled by the raiconian_alliance. It is considered a fringe system that is still being explored fully, but the initial prospects are promising. It is best known for the floating isles present on Emkal'roshya.

Currently, Imvia'roshya has been designated as a 'visitor system'. It is the only system within Raiconian Alliance territory that Non-Raiken are permitted to visit without special clearance. It is still heavily guarded and visitors undergo extensive searches. The Alliance has permitted various factions and races to construct embassies here.

Due to its proximity to Imvia'roshya, Vorskel is little more than a ball of molten metal and rock. There is little reason to visit this planet for any individual.

• Type: Volcanic
• Orbital Radius: 0.18 AU
• Period: .17 earth years
• Gravity: 4 m/s^2
• Atmosphere: Very thin, toxic in nature
• Temperature Range: Extremely Hot
• Planetary Population: None

The capital of Emkal'roshya is Aeras Darami, marking it as the capital world for the system. The main reason for Emkal'roshya becoming the center of operations is the planet's unique ecosystem. A particularly strong magnetosphere coupled with an extreme over-abundance of magnetic material in the planets crust and core allows floating 'islands' to exist. These floating islands are extremely valuable to the military as they are easy to fortify and repel invaders from. It also makes creating and docking starships easier.

The planet features a very thick band of iron, nickel, and cobalt in its crust. This thick band strengthens the planet's magnetic field. During the planet's formation, small scale collision events would break off chunks of the young crust, sending it into the air. This newly-formed 'island' would hover above the planet's surface if it had managed to take a large chunk of the magnetic band with it. Otherwise, it would crash back into the planet. These floating 'islands' are only capable of forming at Emkal'roshya's magnetic poles. The largest islands are directly over the magnetic poles, getting smaller and smaller as it reaches the 'center' of the field. Emkal'roshya's magnetic field is horizontal to the planet's axis.

• Type: Forest, Ocean, Rock
• Orbital Radius: 0.83 AU
• Period: 0.6 earth years
• Gravity: 11.5 m/s^2
• Planetary Population: 275 Million
• Natural Satellites: None
• Facilities: Large Scale Military Infrastructure. Medium Agriculture, Manufacturing, Mining, and Civilian Infrastructure. Mid-grade Shipyards and Spaceports allow construction of more advanced vessels and the docking of such vessels.

Risac is a planet that is rich in metal and rock, making it a good place for mining operations. Risac is mostly home to rebel mining operations, where unrefined metal and rock are turned into military-grade materials and shipped off to the nearby planet, Emkal'roshya, for starship and weapons manufacturing.

• Type: Rock, Metal
• Orbital Radius: 1.18 AU
• Period: 1.01 earth years
• Gravity: 8 m/s^2
• Planetary Population: 25 Million
• Natural Satellites: 2 Toxic
• Facilities: Medium Mining and Military Infrastructure.

Yadi (Insert some info about the Alliance allowing limited colonization on the planet). The capital of the planet is Nekar.

• Type: Forest, Ocean
• Orbital Radius: 1.48 AU
• Period: 1.34 earth years
• Gravity: 10 m/s^2
• Planetary Population: 175 Million
• Natural Satellites: 1 Rocky Moon, used by the military
• Facilities: Medium Agriculture, Mining, Manufacturing, Civilian, and Military Infrastructure. Basic Shipyards and Spaceports allow small ships to be constructed and docked. Larger ships must utilize the moon for repairs and resupply.

Vorcer

• Type: Gas Giant
• Orbital Radius: 5.06 AU
• Period: 8.52 earth years
• Gravity: 22 m/s^2
• Planetary Population: 2.5 Million
• Natural Satellites: 2 Rockies, 3 Ice, 1 Toxic
• Facilities:
  • Mining: Medium - Plenty of Orbital Mining Stations
  • Military: Small - Regular Patrols
  • Spaceports: Small - Capable of docking small freighters

Seraran is much harder to mine than its counterpart, Vorcer, mostly because of its intense gravity. Even so, the opportunity to mine another gas giant for resources is hard to pass up. Alliance stations orbit Seraran, mining the gas giant for precious gases.

• Type: Gas Giant
• Orbital Radius: 9.26 AU
• Period: 21.11 earth years
• Gravity: 27 m/s^2
• Planetary Population: Less than 200,000
• Natural Satellites: Several small moons. 4 Ice, 1 Rock, 1 Toxic, 1 Oceanic
• Facilities:
  • Mining: Small - Handful of Orbital Mining Stations
  • Military: Light - Scattered Patrols
  • Spaceports: Small - Capable of docking small freighters

Karil is little more than a giant ball of ice. Underneath the thick sheet of ice covering the planet's surface, there is evidence of water. This water could harbor some forms of life, but little study has been done. Smugglers and Pirates will sometimes meet around Karil, though there are no permanent inhabitants.

• Type: Ice Rock
• Orbital Radius: 19.41 AU
• Period: 64.08 earth years
• Gravity: 6 m/s^2
• Planetary Population: None
• Natural Satellites: None
• Facilities: None

Chaton is the only planet that revolves around Imvia'roshya's companion star, Rothu'roshya. It is mostly an ocean planet with several islands scattered around its surface. Small outposts exist on the planet, mostly for those who wish to live 'under the radar' of the Alliance.

• Type: Oceanic
• Orbital Radius: 0.9 AU
• Period: 0.85 earth year
• Gravity: 9.9 m/s^2
• Planetary Population: Less than 500,000
• Natural Satellites: None
• Facilities:
  • Agriculture: Light - Enough to feed the planet's meager population, not much else.
  • Mining: Light - Small mines make use of Chaton's limited mineral value.
  • Industry: Light - Workshops capable of producing tools, but little in the way of refined products.
  • Residential: Light - Scattered Villages
  • Spaceports: Light - A single spaceport can be found at the planet's impromptu capital, Yarsis
