Distara
One of the more out of the way systems in Spectrum, Distara has three planets and a population of just under a million. The main exports of this system are plants, specifically the Box-Mouth, a small predatory plant that naturally generates a form of stem-cell. However this system is on the whole below the poverty line and it is unlikely that this will change any time in the near future.
Planets
Lasta
Size: twice the size of Earth
Population: 38
Temperature: 2000
Type: lava world
Atmosphere: Carbon dioxide/ Nitrogen/ Neon
Summery:
With a thick acrid atmosphere and average temperatures of 1000 degrees, the closest planet to the Distarain sun Lasta is virtually uninhabitable. Its surface completely covered in a vast ocean of molten rock, it has no native life. Rightlie has a research station on this planet.
Casd
Size: exactly the size of Earth
Population: 890,000
Temperature: 108
Type: Jungle Planet
Atmosphere: Carbon dioxide/ Nitrogen/ Oxigen
Summery:
The only real livable planet in the Distara system, Casd is the only planet with any form of real native life. Home world of the Box-Mouth, one of Distara’s only money making exports, Casd is covered in a range of thick Jungle vegetation and very few populated centers.
Suz
Size: About the same as Mars
Population: 300,000
Temperature: -211
Type: Ice Planet
Atmosphere: Hydrogen/ helium
Summery:
This ice covered world was probably once an ocean planet, however that must have been long ago. It’s orbit decaying Suz is moving away from it’s parent sun at a rate of half an inch per year. The NPP has a military base under it’s surface.
------------
Javo’alsa
Javo’alsa’s star is near the end of it’s life, it’s swollen and harsh light penetrates even the thickest of cloud cover. The only planets that remain in orbit around it are both burnt, however one is habitable. This system boasts little in terms of wealth and population, as no one real wants to be caught in the path of a super nova.
Javo Minor
Size: same as the Moon
Population: 0
Temperature: 900,000
Type: Solid
Atmosphere: None
Summery:
Closest to the bolted giant star is almost inside of its corona, its surface however is not molten as one might think. Instead its crust is a hardened and thick shell of incredibly dense rock.
Javo Major
Size: Earth
Population: 30
Temperature: 230
Type: crumbling
Atmosphere: Wisps of Mercury and Argon
Summery:
The only people on this world as researchers, no life remains on this planet witch is slowly being ripped to shreds by its stars gravity.
-------------
Thisbn
The most densely populated center of Spectrum, with 3 planets and abundant natural resources, Thisbn is the most prosperous area of Spectrum. It is however not with out problems, the former capital of NPP influence, its inner planet Creon is home of the failing remnants of the interim government, and a hot bed of political redereck and attacks by apposing parties.
Creon
Size: a little larger then Earth
Population: 36,865,000
Temperature: between 10 at the poles and 97 in the arid regions.
Type: Earth like
Atmosphere: Oxygen / Nitrogen
Summery:
The most densely populated planet and home to many a current and former political elite. It’s very rich economy and pristine atmosphere of it’s near perfect environment almost masks the underlining instability. Creon is home to opposing and some times violent political parties and crime groups, these dynamically hostile factions frequently clash in the streets and towns often kill others and them selves in droves. Creon is not a home for the faint of heart or the uninformed.
Tarkree
Size: Jupiter
Population: 7,000,000
Temperature: -574 on the dark side 1632 on the side facing the sun
Type: Gas giant
Atmosphere: Nitrogen/ Hydrogen/ Methane/ helium/ Carbon Dioxide
Summery:
While being a stormy and violent planet that is not with out it’s risks, Tarkree is one of the prime money makes of the Thisbn system. The population living on massive mining platforms which syphon off valuable gasses and minerals from the planets inner layers.
Tarkree is one of the safest planets in Spectrum despite its neighbors.
Tassil
Size: A little bigger then the moon
Population: 23,100
Temperature: 56
Type: Mars like
Atmosphere: Oxygen/ nitrogen (Atmosphere is very thin)
Summery:
Tassil is Habitable but intolerable. While its temperature and pressure are suitable for most life forms, its atmosphere is incredibly thin and most people can only stand it for so long before needing oxygen. Tassil has a wide verity of native life, most of which is harmless fungus however there are a few dangerous ray-like flying organisms that secrete a powerful neurotoxin that can kill within seconds. Tassil is home to the Sacha Crime family.

Unbound Objects
Not all things are bound by stars, here are those you may encounter
Ghost
Ghost is a black hole, do not go near it without a powerful ship or you will die.
Port Yama’ta
Built nearly a century ago, Port Yama’ta was the first space station to be constructed in Spectrum. While it was used from a weapons platform during the war and occupation the station is not heavily armed. With a population of almost 7 thousand it’s currently used as a drop off point for supplies, travelers, and contraband.
Martin’s rip
Discovered in 2589 by Martin Masura, this strange anomaly is theorized to be a rip in the fabric of space and time. Those who have gone near it and those brave enough to venture inside it have reported to see shadows and odd specters living in it. Gravitational disruptions inside it keep any real science expedition from being conducted.
