System: Alpha Draconis
2175 Aeia
World Type: Garden
Richness: Rich
Element Zero: Moderate
Iridium: Poor
Platinum: Rich
Palladium: Moderate
Orbital Distance: 4.5 AU; Orbital Period: 7.3 Earth Years; Radius: 6,521 Km; Day Length: 31.6 Earth Hours; Atmospheric Pressure: 0.72 Earth Atmospheres; Surface Temperature: 16 Celsius; Surface Gravity: 1.1 G.
Description: Named after an asari scientist, this remote planet appears to have been on the list of forbidden mass relays that led to uncharted space.
The little data available comes from one far-off probe flyby that reports two planets orbiting a white dwarf star. Your own scans yield far more interesting results.
The planet is within the habitable zone of the star. It has oceans of liquid water and a thin nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere consistent with carbon-based plant life. It is possible this is an as-yet-unexplored garden world.
2175 AR2
World Type: Giant Jovian
Richness: Poor
Element Zero: None
Iridium: Poor
Platinum: Poor
Palladium: Moderate
Orbital Distance: 9.3 AU; Orbital Period: 28.4 Earth Years; Radius: 62,775 Km; Day Length: 14.0 Earth Hours.
Description: Still formally unnamed, this planet is a hydrogen-helium gas giant with 21 moon-sized objects.
System: Enoch †
Goliath
World Type: Giant Jovian
Richness: Moderate
Element Zero: None
Iridium: Poor
Platinum: Moderate
Palladium: Poor
Orbital Distance: 4.8 AU; Orbital Period: 10.5 Earth Years; Radius: 74,985 Km; Day Length: 14.1 Earth Hours.
Description: A hydrogen-helium gas giant, Goliath’s orbit takes it near the system’s mass relay, a useful event for drive core discharges and automated helium-3 refueling platforms.
Unfortunately, its orbit is currently taking it away from the relay, and it will continue this inconvenience for the next three galactic standard years.
Joab
World Type: Post-Garden
Richness: Good
Element Zero: Rich
Iridium: Moderate
Platinum: Rich
Palladium: Poor
Population: 21,553,000; Colony Founded: 2171; Capital: New Jericho; Orbital Distance: 2.3 AU; Orbital Period: 3.5 Earth Years; Radius: 6,709 Km; Day Length: 25.6 Earth Hours; Atmospheric Pressure: 2.18 Earth Atmospheres; Surface Temperature: 14 Celsius; Surface Gravity: 1.2 G.
Description: Joab is a two-mooned habitable planet that is most well known for its mass extinction event. Thousands of years ago Joab was home to a primate-like spacefaring civilization as well as abundant flora and fauna.
However, this can only be deduced from time capsules put into the ground well outside habitation centers—all cities and detectable dwellings were targeted in a massive orbital bombardment that turned them into vapor.
The resulting dust shroud killed all photosynthetic life and all fauna dependent on it.
Today, humans have recolonized the planet and are rapidly introducing their own species, beginning with cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria, to bring a suitable level of oxygen and nitrogen for respiration.
TRAVEL ADVISORY: Atmospheric pressure at sea level on Joab is double that of Earth. Visitors with upper-respiratory infections, emphysema, cancer, or a history of thoracic surgery should consult their physician before landing on Joab.
Laban
World Type: Desert
Richness: Rich
Element Zero: Moderate
Iridium: Rich
Platinum: Poor
Palladium: Moderate
Orbital Distance: 0.6 AU; Orbital Period: 0.5 Earth Years; Radius: 7,658 Km; Day Length: 24.3 Earth Hours; Atmospheric Pressure: 14.91 Earth Atmospheres; Surface Temperature: 384 Celsius; Surface Gravity: 1.8 G.
Description: Laban is a desert world with sea upon sea of scorching hot iron oxide wearing away marbleized cliffs. Its atmosphere is thick and layered with significant levels of oxygen trapped under an upper helium layer.
Initially, surveyors detected traces of iridium from orbit, only to find a surprising archaeological discovery—the iridium came from bunkers on the surface that were blown apart by a dreadnought-class weapon.
The logical conclusion was that the civilization on Joab had reached Laban and its outposts here were destroyed to make their extermination complete.
Mizraim
World Type: Giant Ice
Richness: Good
Element Zero: Rich
Iridium: Poor
Platinum: Moderate
Palladium: Poor
Orbital Distance: 1.2 AU; Orbital Period: 1.3 Earth Years; Radius: 17,932 Km; Day Length: 10.9 Earth Hours; Atmospheric Pressure: 1.9 Earth Atmospheres.
Description: A small gas giant, Mizraim is primarily hydrogen and methane around a rocky core.
There is no remaining trace of the civilization from Joab on Mizraim itself, but debris orbiting the planet indicates that artificial satellites were once in place before being destroyed.
System: Phi Clio
Cyllene
World Type: Giant Jovian
Richness: Poor
Element Zero: None
Iridium: Poor
Platinum: Poor
Palladium: Poor
Orbital Distance: 0.5 AU; Orbital Period: 0.4 Earth Years; Radius: 38,920 Km; Day Length: 12.8 Earth Hours.
Description: A mid-sized hydrogen-helium gas giant, Cyllene has an automated helium-3 refueling station, indicating that this remote system was once inhabited.
Its distance from the mass relay and archaic design of the fuel station suggest that this system was mapped by someone who did not go through the relay but discovered it in independent FTL exploration.
Cyllene is within the “frost line” of its parent star, where gas giants do not normally form. For this reason Cyllene is believed to be an extrasolar capture.
Parnassus
World Type: Rock
Richness: Rich
Element Zero: None
Iridium: Rich
Platinum: Moderate
Palladium: Poor
Orbital Distance: 1.1 AU; Orbital Period: 1.2 Earth Years; Radius: 5,850 Km; Day Length: 50.2 Earth Hours; Atmospheric Pressure: 4.71 Earth Atmospheres; Surface Temperature: 158 Celsius; Surface Gravity: 0.8 G.
Description: A boiling hot rock planet with extreme tectonic activity, Parnassus is home to many volcanic mountains.
Surface scans reveal several geothermal and solar power stations tapping the planet’s abundant energy.
There is no history of the planet or its government in Citadel Council records. Given its proximity to a mapped and recorded planet like Cyllene, someone must have deleted Parnassus from the database.
