The Luma-Vero binary system is our home, and as far as we know the only system that hosts sentient life.
Luma
At approximately 4.3B years old, this main sequence yellow star dominates the system.
Agros
This planet exists at the inner edge of what is thought possible for a naturally formed planetoid. The immense heat radiation from Luma at this distance has prevented the surface from fully solidifying. However, being tidally locked to the star, some floating islands of solid rock do exist on the dark side. Although it's size would classify it as a dwarf planet, no other objects permanently reside in its orbit, so it was granted the status of the first planet.
Erom
The second planet in the system, Erom is barren with no atmosphere. It is a scorching hot rocky planet, which has a long rotational period. It has a single captured moon called Hex.
Salus
In the past it had a dense atmosphere, which it has now almost entirely lost due to the disappearance of its magnetic field. It is believed that for a time liquid water may have existed on it during the dissapation of it's atmosphere, but eventually most of the water was also stripped away as it evaporated. It's thought the liquid water period on the third planet was too short to ever give even simple life a chance to evolve.
Epoch
Home. It is named after the belief many old faiths shared, that the universe is cyclic and we exist in one such cycle. The fourth planet is incredibly unique, having a strong magnetic field, shielding the atmosphere and liquid water oceans on the planet. It is also the sole rocky planet in this system with a ring. It is believed that quite recently another planetoided made a fly-by of the planet, breaking up into a ring. The tidal forces and subsequent meteor rain resulted in one of the worst mass extinctions in history. Two large shepherd moons exist in the ring.
Moll is the location of the international city, the first and largest colony. It hosts telescopes, communications, manufacturing facilities, fuel depots, asteroid defence installations and more. Despite some archaic treaties objecting to the actions, Verden has become a lucrative target for the nations of Epoch to lay claims to. The moon is incredibly rich in metals, being thought to be a core fragment of the planetoid that broke apart.
Kreia
The fifth planet is incredibly rich in water, covered by a thick ice shell. It has a thin, mostly nitrogen atmosphere. It's thought conditions for life may exist on this planet. It is however significantly less geologically active than Epoch. Several scientific outposts exist on it, with one large colony. It's moon Unau is also covered in a thin sheet of ice, with some of it's mountains breaking through the surface. It is unclear how water covered the small moon, one theory is a large impact lifted enough ice from the parent planet to cover it.
Axilus
The gas giant is a pleasant shade of light blue due to the methane in it's atmosphere. It has four large moons, of which the most striking appearance has Irideus, which has a yellowish-green acidic atmosphere.
Ino
The seventh planet is small and kight grey in appearance due to the mixture of various oxides and ice on the surface. It has a very thin atmosphere of nitrogen.
Vero
The age of the red dwarf is approximated to be around 4.1B years, leading astronomers to assume it was formed from a dense protoplanetary disk around Luma. It's fairly high metallicity also supports this theory. In the night sky, Vero appears as a distinctly bright red star. While slow, it's movement was observed since ancient times.
Orsur
The first planet of Vero, it is tidally locked, hot and barren.
Faun and Deun
The two planets are in a binary system and are tidally locked to eachother. Faun is the only other planet beside Epoch to host liquid water. It's atmosphere however is fairly thin, and it's oceans deep, which makes colonising it more difficult. Deun on the other hand has an atmosphere about as thick as Epoch, however only has little amounts of frozen water. The binary system is a prime goal for colonisation. Luma from here is significantly bright still, enough so to provide a bit of light at night.
Pallos
Teetering on the edge of a rocky planet with a really thick atmosphere and an ice giant, the third planet gets its yellowish hue from hydrocarbons and ammonia in the atmosphere. It has two small rocky moons.
Ikvoa
Ikvoa is in a curious place, being illuminated nearly equally by both stars. It is a very dark and cold planet.
