Part 1: Planets

1. Orengo – A mainly oceanless planet, Orengo's few bodies of water have spawned several amphibious life-forms. On the surface, outside of the Glexer settlement, it is a huge expanse of rocky terrain with a small, unexplored rainforest. The indigenous Glexers are currently planning an exploration of this region.
2. Huliard – The opposite of Orengo, Huliard has a main ocean with several sandy islands. One of these spawned the Gogers. Varied sealife lives below the surface, and the planet overall has a temperate climate.
3. Hipacho – Hipacho is considered odd even by the sentient planet Zonama Sekot. A completely rocky planet, Hipacho was filled long ago with a living ocean, creating several continents but nearly destroying the Arrgreator race. Since then, the continents have become grassy and livable. The planet has a varied selection of life, both intelligent and unintelligent. Ommsterlond originally landed here during its journey, but was repelled by the ocean. Hipacho was destroyed by a war station, but was inadvertently restored by the Historian.
4. Prenclia – An earthlike planet with four main continents: The northern, frozen one, the eastern, forest one, the southern, temperate one, and the western, desert one. The ecosystem is composed of mainly reptilians. It is a haven for thieves and criminals, especially the central islands.
5. Kermilia – A huge gas giant, the natives evolved as pachyderms that could fly with their oversize ears that now reside on huge platforms. There is a surface underneath, which was reached recently by the natives, uncovering another sentient species. It can reach daytime temperatures of up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface. Most other species prefer to remain away from Kermilia when possible.
6. Ommsterlond – Ommsterlond is not native to the Arenuf system-it originated in a sea cave on Earth. Stress in the core sent it flying through space, taking an entire species of sentient rodent with it. It briefly landed on Hipacho, before that world's living sea ejected it once more to its current position. Because of its odd history, Ommsterlond has not species other than its namesake Ommsters. Its brief time on Hipacho has given it a central ocean similar to Hipacho's. Climates vary from volcanic regions to rain forests. A large wasteland, destroyed in battle, rests on the northernmost island.
7. Santa-Borok – Once thought of as a freezing, uninhabited world of soil and rock, Santa-Borok became a freezing, inhabited world of soil and rock with the discovery of sentient insects. On the surface, it is unremarkable, but underground there is a spectacular system of cities and tunnels.
8. Matoro – A frozen wasteland, Matoro has lakes and life nonetheless. Similar to Earth's moon in appearance and size, Matoro is a tiny dwarf planet.
9. Naden, Atum and Bassen – Three unexplored, recently discovered worlds beyond Matoro.
