Prima I
UNH- TypeHot rocky
Scorched inner world, too close to the star for practical development. Automated solar collection arrays only.
Tau Ceti
Humanity's first interstellar colony, settled immediately after the invention of the 5D Translation Generator in 2450 for Salvation's Earth-like conditions. Six centuries of development have made it the second most populous system after Sol and the birthplace of the colonial economy: practical, industrious, and quietly resentful of Earth's aristocratic pretensions.
Scorched inner world, too close to the star for practical development. Automated solar collection arrays only.
Second inner world, similar to Prima I. Minimal development.
The prize: a world that needed minimal terraforming, with breathable atmosphere, liquid water and tolerable gravity. A population of 8 billion across multiple continents makes it the beating heart of colonial humanity.
Agricultural world with higher gravity than Earth-standard, but within tolerable range. Vast automated farms feed Prima and export to other systems, with 2 billion permanent residents in processing centres and port cities plus seasonal workers.
Cold outer rocky world. Limited mining operations and a small permanent population in the tens of thousands.
Small gas world. Atmospheric mining for industrial gases from orbital processing stations.
The system's major gas giant. Volatile harvesting operations, with moons hosting perhaps fifty million across several settlements.
Outer ice giant. Minimal development, automated fuel harvesting.
Distant dwarf planet. Scientific outposts only.
Outer system debris field. Mining operations extract metals and volatiles, with scattered habitats and a transient population.
