Note
Euntanta is remarkably close to Earth. Its orbital distance is similar, and while slightly larger its reduced density yields similar mass, atmospheric pressure, and gravity. There the similarities end, for Lusarn is a hot class F star emitting over eight times the energy of Sol. Euntanta is a parched wasteland, its water long since boiled into its nitrogen-carbon dioxide atmosphere.
A handful of mining outposts dot the hellishly hot surface. The crews remain in underground bunkers, sending remotely controlled machines out at night to do surface work and load cargo for shipment.
Note
Doriae is a large hot world with a poisonous atmosphere of acidic nitrogen oxides. While the planet is too close to Lusarn for this to condense and fall as rain it makes the environment too hostile for forms of life more sophisticated than bacteria to evolve.
Note
Tarith is broadly Earth-like with a fatal flaw: it has a relatively high amount of chlorine in its atmosphere, which is the reason for the greenish haze that becomes apparent when looking at the horizon. Chlorine has become a vital component in Tarith's plant life; as a defense mechanism against native herbivores, many species evolved the ability to release clouds of toxic chlorine when disturbed. This gas is heavier than the atmospheric oxygen and tends to settle in low places. While avoidable, this has placed Tarith near the bottom of the lists for colonization.
There are intermittent signals originating in the heart of a large chlorine swamp. They appear to be coded, though it is not impossible that they are garbled distress signals from a downed civilian ship.
Note
A common methane-ammonia gas giant, Xetic is best known for the infamous Kal'thor Camp. Established on the ice moon of Gesis, Kal'thor was a Blue Suns hostile environment training facility run by a cadre of former Special Intervention Unit (SIU) operators. In 2168 a cluster-wide scandal broke out when it was revealed that the mortality rate of recruits sent to the camp might be as high as 18 percent.
Investigation by authorities based on Illium uncovered group graves around the facility containing the remains of several hundred recruits dating back two decades. The camp was immediately closed and the remains sent back to their worlds of origin. An inquest by the Blue Suns found the commandos had used harsh training methods but ones that were consistent with their own training to join the SIU. The party in question was exonerated, though Kal'thor was shut down and they were reassigned to other units. As the Crescent Nebula is beyond the sphere of Council law, no civil charges could be filed against the Blue Suns.
Note
Jontan is a fairly standard close-orbiting Pegasid gas giant orbiting the star Lusarn at high velocity and heated to temperatures of over 1,000 degrees. Analysis of its orbit has revealed a core of heavy elements with a mass double that of the planet's hydrogen-helium atmosphere.
