El Excellente Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Arne Most citizens know Arne by Federation News Network broadcasts of the massive insurgent uprisings from 2233 to 2234 The Federation responded with Operation Tower, a strategic offensive against key separatist positions in the planet's most populated country, Sagia. The Federation lost 7,000 Mobile Infantry and 18 Fleet Staff while the separatists lost 9,000. Today, Arne is peaceful, and primarily serves as a trading and refueling center in the Jala system. Arcadia Castillo A planet dotted with fractured continents covered in thick jungles and incredibly tall plateaus and peaks. Notable cities: Ottokar, Rico, Wenceslaus Cassandra Cordelia (409,129) The majority of Cordelia is covered with water and severe, erratic weather patterns over the majority of the planet. Of the few landmasses on the planet, the only ones that are habitable lie on Cordelia's equator. Cordelia's tourism industry boomed after the destruction of Zegema Beach, its tropical waters being an ample replacement for Zegema Beach's famous waterfronts. Notable cities: San Cristello, Pantelleria, Puerto Del Sol Druilhe Elixaeberna ( 1,704,033 ) Elixaeberna is an earth-like planet with several societies and cultures. Most infrastructure is located on the central contintent of Malmö where Federation Fleet ships are manufactured on massive shipyards in the continent's Jägare Valley. Elixaeberna was the site of a devastating terrorist attack in which anti-Federation insurgents had sabotaged two Fleet cargo ships resulting in 279 dead and over 500 injured. Epsilon Prime; Epsilon Eridani System Business world with strong emphasis on profit and productivity with almost a mercenary-esque mentality. Faraway, Sigma Draconis System Faxx Hathor Hesperus, Alpha Centauri Culture Extremely work-oriented people who work longer than the rest of the Federation. Original colonists come from southern Europe. Religion is somewhat important. Hesperans take great pride in their work - rightly so, because their shipyards produce the best ships. This planet is constantly exposed to ships due to its shipyards and therefore a lot of civilians rather join the Fleet. Hod, Alpha Centauri Culture Originally founded to feed the people of Hesperus. Work mentality is the same. People of Hod know they are living in Hesperus' shadows, which has led to a rivalry between them. This rivalry is often carried out in fieldball games or other things. At some point, the people of Hod even intercepted Federal Transports so that the people of Hesperus had to miss this week's episode of Zegama Nights (TM). Iskander, Proxima System Relaxed and comfortable population living a rural life. Soft-spoken but stubborn demeanor. They are a tremendously patient people who rarely show any strong emotion. However, once they are roused, they can be an implacable and surprisingly dangerous enemy due to their strength (a result of living on a planet with a gravitational field approximately 20% stronger than Earth’s). This quality makes Iskanders valuable recruits for Federal Service, particularly the Mobile Infantry. Karrus, Sirius System The people of Karrus tend to be proud, optimistic and confident. Ambition is also a defining trait of the Karrus culture. The people of Karrus are extraordinarily loyal to the Federation . Leda Leda is a very small oceanic planet with heavy amounts of seismic activity. Most of the planet's economy is centered on deep-sea mining and offshore refinement. Leda was the sight of one of the Federation's worst environmental disasters after a meltdown of a nuclear reactor in Essel, one of the planet's most populated islands. Over 830,000 people were displaced as a result of the meltdown. Pallas (2.809.702) Four times the size of earth, the planet is appropriately named after the titan Pallas from Greek mythology. First colonized in 2093, Pallas stands out due to its productive capabilities benefiting both the UCF and the private sector. The expansive shipyards that are capable of rapidly producing both private and military-grade space-faring vessels make Pallas an important cog in the Federal war machine.Notable cities: New Portsmouth, New Kanaro Priyanka Priyanka is the Maganas system's only planet, and is located on the border of the Arachnid Quarantine Zone. The Mobile Infantry maintains a consistent presence on the large planet that is frequently under threat from Arachnid invasion. Most of the population lives in a single heavily-fortified colony, Fort Shenandoah. Life on the planet revolves primarily on fishing and water conservation, as the planet rarely has any forms of precipitation. Qetesh Qetesh is a planet in the Proxima Scorpii system colonized as early as 2109. It is an Earth-like planet that is covered in a thick jungle and swampland biome. Aside from that, Qetesh is relatively unremarkable. Rana Rana was initially settled in 2213 by a group of Nizari muslims in the Khattab Basin on Rana's largest megacontinent, Canopus. Rana is very seismically active (twice as many tectonic plates as earth), and is noted for its geysers and thermal vents that release pressure from deep below the planet's surface. Rana's primary exports are platinum, textiles, and electronics. Rhohan Initially a SICON base in the Rho Eridani System to monitor the colony of Cassandra, the military base was eventually dismantled as the people were deemed loyal, but the colony stayed. Despite being classified as a hospitable planet, Rhohan is brutally hot and humid in the summer months, stunningly cold in the winter and afflicted with some of the most violent and dangerous weather ever recorded on a Federal Colony. Those who leave the well climatized buildings of New Austin are not in the wilderness by choice - the Mobile Infantry likes to conduct survival training on Rhohan during the summer, when temperatures on the Brick Plains average 120 degrees, with 80 percent humidity. More than one trooper, labouring across the shimmering plains under the weight of a 60 pound pack, has dropped out of the Federal Service at the first opportunity. Culture The people of Rhohan are very individualistic and self-confident. They are very proud and prefer to be self-reliant and remain an individual by any means possible. This even went so far that the people of Rhohan managed to grow crops in the extremely harsh weather conditions simply to not be dependant on Federal food imports. But what really epitomizes this colony is the one law the Federation passed just for Rhohan: The right for civilians to bear arms (as only citizens who have served are to be entrusted with weaponry). In a nutshell, this colony is space-Texas. Roku San A critical farming colony for the Federation, Roku San supplies a very large portion of food and raw materials to several systems in the UCF. Due to a checkered history with the Federation, Roku San, and previous Arachnid attacks, the general populace holds predominately negative views of the Federation. The Mobile Infantry maintains a presence on Roku San to combat any future Arachnid attacks. Their garrisons were boosted after the events of Operation Breadbasket. Notable cities: Okayama, Hesper, Clearmont Salk Nestled in the Crab Nebula, Salk is a terrestrial planet with a similar geographic and atmospheric makeup as earth. The planet is split into fragmented continents, and has a similar tectonic profile to earth as well. Initially settled by Pentecostal pioneers in 2208, Salk's natural resources drew in more settlers than initially expected. Salk was recently the setting of a violent war between the Federation and the terrorist group the Salk Liberation Front. Starting in 2291 and drawing to a close in early 2297, Salk is now dealing with the damage and an influx of refugees from the wake of Operation Breadbasket. Notable cities: Abboud, Lafayette, Kearney, Tigris Sanctuary Samson Sarns III Scarvis Shoreridge III Solovei Strelitzia Settled in 2253, Strelitzia is an important food producing colony for the Federation. Strelitzia's soil is incredibly fertile, and shares a landscape similar to Earth's northern Engand and Scotland, with rolling hills, deep lochs, and mountain ranges similar to the Scottish Highlands. Europa(2.4 billion)One of Jupiter's moons, Europa was settled prior to the invention of the Cherenkov drive. The moon is an important economic center for the Jovian system, and the Federation. Europa has undergone terraforming to make the planet more habitable and similar to earth. Tango Urilla, Altair System The Trio Ulm Wakaliga Zegama Beach (3.300.800) A planet famous for its scenic beach fronts and balmy weather, Zegema Beach has gained a reputation of being a tropical paradise. However, its status as a popular vacation spot didn't stop Arachnids from mounting a surprise attack during the First Bug War, wiping out the vast majority of the unprepared colony. The Federation reclaimed Zegema Beach once more after nearly half a year of arduous fighting against the entrenched Arachnids. The estimated cost to restore Zegema Beach to its previous state is estimated to be approximately 78,000,000,000,000 . Today, Zegema Beach is safe, and is guarded closely by Fleet and Mobile Infantry assets. Culture The culture of Zegama Beach is epitomised by the search for fame and wealth, preferably concurrently but in that order if need be. The culture and society of Zegama Beach have been described as ‘shiny’, ‘shallow’, ‘plastic’ and ‘dreamlike'. If you originate from here, you're either piss-poor or very very rich (which you probably aren't) Link to comment
