The Known Universe

The Known Universe consists of all known inhabited and uninhabited planets spread across the galaxy. Most of these planets are independent, but there are also colonies, Domain-ruled planets and Rogues-allied planets.

Description
The heart of the Galactic Domain, Earth has been the centre of the Empire for centuries if not millennia. It is the homeworld of the ruling Aleron family, and has been a point of expansion and exploration for the rest of the Domain. Currently, there are over 100 planets who are known to have been colonised by or sworn fealty to the Domain.

Description
Inhabited by humanoids, Laphaero was not colonised by the Domain and therefore the two species are unrelated. Laphaerans often looked like humans but will have out of the ordinary eye and hair colouring and are generally taller. Their kind are said not to have as high an emotional drive as humans. The planet is 1.5 times bigger than Earth, although with a significantly smaller population.

Description
Santali is not a planet, but the third-biggest moon of gas giant Chamira in the Praxis system. It was colonised in 2315. A freak accident occurred many centuries later in 2770; a communication satellite orbiting the moon crashed into an urban area and gave off immense radiation. This caused many Santalians, who were exposed to the luminal crystal radiation, to develop strange abilities.

In 2790, the teenage Empress found out about these emerging abilities and feared them. She sent in her soldiers to wipe out or detain the Santalians. The event, known as the Exodus, meant the near-extinction of the Santalian population. Since then, the planet has been used as a mining base, although no one goes near the urban area due to possible contamination.

Description
Thespis was first colonised in 2250, intended as a military training ground, but it soon became a permanent living place for many human inhabitants. Over the centuries, the human descendants interbred with other humanoid species, causing the characteristics of the species to change. Thespians appear human but are often more intelligent than regular humans, and have a longer average lifespan. It is also more difficult for them to reproduce.

Description
Tash is a very militarily based planet. They are known for their large armada of ships and strict laws. They are also an independent planet, which makes them highly desirable as allies. Tashi are humanoid, however their skin tone and general colouring tends to be darker than most humans. They are a very violent and proud people who uphold their culture and don't want to be "tainted" by other species.

Tash is a polygamous society, meaning that men are allowed to take multiple wives. Women are looked down upon and seen to be for breeding and housework, an attitude which is not shared by most planets in the Known Universe.

Description
Cammaelin is the home of the Academy of Astronomy, where Arryn, Rhynden and Skye have all studied in the past. Their focus is on knowledge, and they are primarily a settled planet - meaning there is no humanoid species native to Cammaelin, although those who were born and raised on Cammaelin are known as 'Cam', despite the fact they are often Earthling or Laphaeran descendants. It is also a neutral zone, however secretly Cammaelin supports the Rogues cause.

Home to lizard-like humanoids known as Draconians despite their planet name, Valkyr is a relatively small planet. The Draconians tend to keep to themselves and rarely mingle with others, except in the case of some such as Zacchaeus.

Description
Lor is a small habitable moon with a small native species. They are nomadic and tend to travel, and although they are social creatures, they do not specifically spend time in the company of other Lorans. Lorans are famous for their great beauty, with many having the ability to influence pheromones in other species. They are quite sexual beings, but don't usually have more than two children in their lifetime.
