Tasale News: Illium continues to be one of the most successful, prosperous, and desirous worlds in the known Verse.
Tasale
Overall fame/aspect title: Illium; flagship colony-world of the Asari.
Abstract; summation of all major producing planets within this system:
Illium (virtually countless products produced in massive quantities), Teukria (if its abandoned facilities were brought back online), and Naxell (if the corporations seeking to develop it were freed of the red tape).

Note
Illium is a classic garden world developed to serve as entrepôt between the Terminus Systems and the Asari Republics. To abet this trade, the normally stringent customs laws of Council space on product-safety-proscribed materials and sapient trafficking are relaxed. Officially, Illium is not an asari world; it is colonized and operated by asari corporate interests. This gives it the same legal latitude enjoyed by the human corporate research enclaves of Noveria. Illium is one of the youngest asari colonies settled during the 7th Expansion Wave. The first child born on the world is only now reaching her middle age. The world is hot and massive; ground settlement is only possible at the higher polar latitudes. In more equatorial locations the population is housed in arcology skyscrapers to escape the heat of the surface.
Illium’s leaders were paranoid about keeping their fortunes, and were influential in both Terminus and Citadel space. They acquired a large defense fleet and a high number of fission weapons, which stand ready to fight at a moment’s notice from anywhere on the surface and in orbit.
A regional hub of asari commerce awash in riches, Illium is infamous for its abusive labor practices and legalization of nearly everything except murder. As such, Illium is the preferred production site for weapons and pharmaceuticals that would be illegal nearly everywhere else, made even more lucrative by legal indentured servitude. Among the biotics-related pharmaceutical producers is the Dantius Corporation, a rising star in galactic commerce.
Despite the dangers of its products, Illium is renowned for glamour, luxury, and safety (provided by near-total surveillance), making it a favored tourist destination. Countless celebrities maintain palatial estates on Illium and in its capital, Nos Astra. The sole obstacle to business on Illium is its extreme bureaucracy, tolerated only for its provision of security.
Regardless of the character of its economy, Illium's self-congratulatory media exalts its own society with the provincial arrogance of "new money", glorifying in "sexiest CEOs" and "ten richest residents" lists.
Being a commerce planet, Illium sees many new cultures and goods due to its proximity to the Terminus Systems. New visitors are advised to avoid signing anything due to the world's lax legal regulations, necessary in order to stay competitive with the Terminus Systems. As such, drugs are legal as long as they are labeled properly, and one can buy any kind of weapon, technology, or even indentured servants. At the same time, it is still an asari world and far from lawless. Very few quarians visit Illium as it does not allow the Migrant Fleet to enter the star system.
Note
Named for a legendary asari archer from Thessia's Iron Age, Teukria is an asteroid large enough to qualify as a dwarf planet or, as some term it, a "meso-planet". Its gravity is sufficient to give it a spherical shape. Developed for nickel and iron mining, Teukria was indefinitely abandoned due to an economic recession. Its facilities are now dark and cold.
Note
Naxell is an ammonia-methane ice giant. Several smaller energy corporations shut out of the big market in the Faia gateway system are attempting to develop a local helium-3 fuel mining infrastructure to service Illium. The leading investor is the corporation Eldfell-Ashland Energy. Their efforts have been hampered by the extralegal presence the "H-3 Cartels" in Faia system can bring to bear, from simple price undercuts to bureaucratic obstructions (denied permits and constant "health and safety" inspections).
Note
Thail is a typical hydrogen-helium gas giant. Its complex system of rings is unstable, dating back only a few million years. They are thought to be the shattered remains of a comet.
Note
While not a classical "hot-house" world like Venus, Beregale is scarcely more hospitable. In addition to being the closest to the star Tasale, its core contains many radioactives and other heavy elements. These increase the heat of the planet and drive volcanism.
Beregale's crust is too rigid for plate tectonics to function, and the planet will go through cycles in which the pressure builds to a massive super volcanic eruption. These spew ejecta over thousands of kilometers, leave caldera a hundred kilometers across, and spew enough molten material to repave entire continents. The last such event was 812,000 years ago; the current rate of outgassing from volcanic hot spots suggests another will occur within the next 10 millennia.

Due to his tested and proven military backing of this humanoid species and all of its infrastructure, Lord Auzdein von Himmler has enjoyed a godlike status every time he has visited this world. With each visit, he has stayed for months, helping by providing his expertise and Inisfreean personnel as seasonal, contract liaisons. In exchange, the leadership of the Asari government ensures he has a virtually endless supply of their most beautiful and sensually-skilled asari sex slaves, which he typically purchases by the dozens, cloning and better engineering still dozens more. Illium is the world and (asari) people which best understands, and is most compatible with, Auzdein and his Inisfreean culture and code. It is a rarity for his semi-vacation visits to this world to not include daily and sometimes hourly 'quickie orgies', oftentimes enjoying them even during boardroom meetings and other formal events. Even the highest-ranking asari have enjoyed these sex rites with their most avid and fiercely loyal, human supporter and advocate.
This relationship, in short, translates to just one thing; any entity foolish enough to attempt an attack of any kind on Illium or any asari assets or interests would be quickly disintegrated by the teleporting, invisible, Space-faring fleets of Inisfreean warships and storm troopers.

A fairly typical Venusian "hot-house", Ponolus seems almost tame compared to the violent volcanic outbursts of the inner world, Beregale. In contrast, Ponolus is nearly inert, with no active volcanoes or plate tectonics. The most dramatic event in the last million years was the foundering of the aerostat research platform Alviusic in 2092, which fell after being holed by an improbably unlucky meteor. Most of the crew successfully reached escape capsules, but six were lost. The crushed wreck of the platform now lies on the Kriusite Plain in the southern hemisphere.
