Elmyph

Home of the Elder

• Gravity: 1.05 x Earth
• Diameter: 1.03 x Earth
• Atmosphere: Oxygen-rich, 2 times denser than Earth.
• Day Length: 26 hours
• Moons: 6. One is similar to our Moon, the rest like Ceres.
• Binary: No
• Environment: Diverse landmasses and deep oceans. Elmyph has a large tropical zone that eases to small, polar caps.
• Orbit: Moderately oval.
• Tilt: Mild. Seasons tend to be mild and stable.
• Sun: Binary yellow dwarf similar to the sun of the Earth. The sister sun is distant.

Notes: 

Elmyph is commonly called the Elder’s Planet since he is one of the few that are able to travel to it. It is remote, and space in that part of space is smooth - access to the Fracture is impossible to all but those who create their own. The system resides on the inner side of the galactic Goldilocks zone, close enough to the galactic core that starlight actually casts shadows. The part of the planet most used in my stories is a tropical lagoon. There are also vast plains that have been populated with Rodan, the food-stock of Keratians. The Elder is a Keratian, as are two exiles there, and a visitor allowed there by Steven Crow.

Rholling

Home of the Nistar

• Gravity: 1.12 x Earth
• Diameter: 1.5 x Earth
• Atmosphere: Oxygen-rich, 1.15 times denser than Earth.
• Day Length: 22 hours
• Moons: 1 moon size of Mercury.
• Binary: No.
• Environment: Large continents framing large, deep oceans. Rholling has an extended, mild tropical zone that eases to seasonal polar caps.
• Orbit: Nearly circular.
• Tilt: Moderate. Seasons are mild.
• Sun: Yellow dwarf, similar to Earth’s Sun.

Notes: 

Rholling was one of the founding worlds of the Cooperative, and was equal to Senin in importance to the Cooperative. Like Senin, it was rendered inhabitable. The Sadari had dug in deeply with their troops of golems, and when the gate to their homeworld was shut, the golems all detonated, scorching the landscape and killing all life on land and in the oceans. During its early days in the Cooperative, it was seen as a neutral world and was where the original Cooperative treaties were hammered out and agreed to. The world was populated by a quiet species called the Nistar who preferred to remain in the background. In modern times, it was a melting-pot world, where species from all the other Cooperative member worlds traveled to and lived. Shortly before the War, the Nistar pretty much vanished. But they were not missed since they were not often seen. Since the destruction of Rholling, it was largely assumed the Nistar had gone extinct.

Senin

Home of the Faeries

• Gravity: 1.10 x Earth
• Diameter: 1.35 x Earth
• Atmosphere: Oxygen-rich, 1.85 times denser than Earth.
• Day Length: 26 hours
• Moons: 1 moon size of Mercury.
• Binary: No.
• Environment: Large continents framing large, deep oceans. Senin has an extended, mild temperate zone that eases to seasonal polar caps. Pre and post-destruction.
• Orbit: Nearly circular.
• Tilt: Moderate. Seasons are mild.
• Sun: Yellow dwarf, a little brighter than Earth’s Sun.

Notes: 

Senin was one of the founding worlds of the Cooperative. It was the originating seat of the Archives before Senin died. An experiment in treating a deviant Gatekeeper went dreadfully wrong, resulting in Senin melting into a ball of superheated magma. Temporal eruptions kept the Faeries from remaining in orbit in their vast floating cities, and the planet had to be abandoned altogether.

Niqua

Home of the Camdyn

• Gravity: 1.30 x Earth
• Diameter: 1.15 x Earth
• Atmosphere: Oxygen-rich, 1.80 times denser than Earth.
• Day Length: 33 hours
• Moons: 2 moon size of Mercury.
• Binary: No.
• Environment: Large continents framing large, deep oceans. Niqua has an extended, temperate zone that eases to large, permanent polar caps.
• Orbit: Mildly circular.
• Tilt: Moderate. Seasons are definite.
• Sun: Yellow dwarf, a little brighter than Earth’s Sun.

Notes: 

Niqua is a largely forested world with a small band of tropics, and wide bands of temperate zones, with extensive tundra on the northern and southern latitudes of the planet. The Camdyn are the apex predators there, but not the strongest.

Tel’range

Gatekeeper Training World

• Gravity: 1.10 x Earth
• Diameter: 1.05 x Earth
• Atmosphere: Oxygen-rich, 1.50 times denser than Earth.
• Day Length: 28 hours
• Moons: 1 moons size of Mars.
• Binary: Yes. A moon large enough to be considered a planet. And a gas giant they both orbit.
• Environment: Large continents framing large, deep oceans. Tel’range has an extended, semi-tropical zone that eases to small, permanent polar caps.
• Orbit: Mildly circular.
• Tilt: Moderate. Seasons are mild.
• Sun: Yellow dwarf, a little brighter than Earth’s Sun.

Notes: 

Tel’range is considered a territory of Syagria, under Elvish control. It occupies the same galaxy as Syagria, but is situated closer to the center of the galaxy. The Fracture there is profuse and complicated, making it hard for Gatekeepers to navigate. Because of that, it is the primary Gatekeeper training world. Like many worlds with life, however, it is uncolonized. This began to change when the Cooperative started setting up a colony to exile the Terran visitors to.
