    -----------------------------
    The Earth’ is a myth, a legend. A tale created ages ago. The year is 10765. Humanity spans across numerous galaxies, but the most famous being Nova – The Founding Galaxy. The Origins of the Human Race are unknown, but millions believe that ‘Earth’ was the beginning. They say that we came from the Silu System, formerly The Milky Way, though it’s not been inhabitable for a few thousand years, since its red giant (Nicknamed ‘The Sun’) finally gave up, exploded and made the system a minefield of asteroids, hardly passable with the smallest crafts. Nova is one of three small systems circling round the master planet Gaia, which in turn orbits the Titan Star. Gaia is a colossal planet, covered mostly by land. Only about 6 percent of it’s area is water, though many underground oceans have been found. The planet is of such size that it would take 38 years to travel around its equator, traveling 200 miles an hour, but only an estimated 1 percent is populated, nearly all in the city and neighboring Space Ports. The land is rugged and littered with millions of miles of forestry and mountains. Breaking up the continuous pine forests are massive lakes, called Cores. They are deeper than most of the mountains are high, filled with dark icy water. The beauty of the landscape is a small reward for the dangerous creatures that live within the forests and lakes. A large city is in place within the forest, its sky-scrapers and massive space port dominating the landscape for miles around, and even though outside the city is dangerous, there are small lodges littered in the mountains. The planets orbiting Gaia are Cortan, Kyyae, Rupture and Novistad. Cortan is tiny in comparison, and is a ‘Glass-house’ planet. Three ventilated domes of poly-glass cover large areas of the planet, each one a different environment. Since the planet is inhospitable outside the domes, one of the domes is used for nature, a beautiful albeit man-made rainforest growing under a canopy of glass. It produces 70 percent of the oxygen needed for the general living of Cortan’s inhabitants. The second dome is used for industry, letting out large spaces for Galactic Corporations, from Nova system and other systems. Kyyae is a small, flat, cold desert planet, very close to Cortan, and is barely inhabitable. A few villages lie behind man-made dunes to stop the constant wind, trading with the occasional Store Ship that land here. It’s a very rugged existence, but many say that the People who live here are well balanced individuals, happier living here than they would in a more shallow life, say in one of the cities. Rupture is a purely water planet, with small landing pads on massive metal poles. The poles contain elevators which lead below the rough seas and go down 40 leagues to a city. Only the Higher-Upper class live in this Eden of a city, with the system’s best security, food, and wares that money can buy. When everything goes to hell outside Rupture, the people in the city will remain content and safe. Novistad is the only Ice Planet in Nova, and second largest planet in the system, and is only used as a re-fuel stop for Store Ships passing through Nova. A large deal of commerce is being pumped into this planet, and it is planned to be a main-stream resort for the wealthy and lordly. Only a few hundred live on the planet at the moment, operating the Space Port, and working construction on the wastes of Novistad. So far, Nova is relatively peaceful, run by The Ninety, a collaboration of the ninety leaders of the old republic. People suspect that there is some wrong doing within their leaders, but are too content to complain or care. Security is pretty average everywhere, with large military war ships protecting Nova from an potential threat of the unknown. Everything seems fine…

    Gaia
    [ ]The City Of Scorr (5 sub-boards)
    A vast city of pinacle sky scrapers and millions of vehicles, darting around between them. The city holds a few billion people and is visible for miles around. Most of the buildings are taller than the mountains.

    The Spaceport is located here.

    The Forests and Mountains outside of Scorr. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful and dangerous as hell.

    A few lodges are scattered around.

    Novistad
    [ ]Novoska-Gorodetsky Spaceport (5 sub-boards)
    Sprawling across two square miles near Novistad's North Pole, the Novoska-Gorodetsky Spaceport deals with large numbers of commerce every day - transports refuelling, and bringing new workers largely.

    Many underground, covered hangars and shuttle bays dot the port, all covering over once filled to protect against snow, and Port Authorities are lax at best.

    [ ]Hab-Bloc Sergei (3 sub-boards)
    From the outside, the Hab-Bloc appears to be nothing more than a long, squat, square building that nestles beside the Space Port.

    However, it extends underground for double it's above ground height, and spreads underground that again.
    00
    [ ]Ice Plains (1 sub-board)
    The great expanses of freezing snow that surround Novistad are not impassable - but comparable to crossing a desert. Covered with ice.

    Occasional illegal shacks, and a couple of mining sites dot the landscape.
    00
    [ ]Weyland-Yutarre Deep Research Station (3 sub-boards)
    Weyland-Yutarre, the infamous shadowy corporation, first showed interest in Novistad a few years before the miners did, and the DRS is the most established site on the planet after the Space Port.

    It is situated two miles beneath Novistad's surface, and displays some of the best in technology and human mindpower.
    00
    Rupture
    [ ]The City (2 sub-boards)
    An example of elegance. A city located 40 leagues under the sea, made up of water tight sky scrapers and multiple walkways breaching the deep waters of Rupture. The City has no name. It doesn't need one, since only the famous and powerful need to think about it.

    [ ]Ocean
    The unsettling waters that surround Rupture - they are hardly ever calm due to the hurricanes and whirlpools.
    Rupture ocean holds host to many mighty creatures, some Whales are the size of the city!
    00
    Kyyae
    [ ]Djunara (5 sub-boards)
    The largest town in all of Kyyae, counted as the capital. Over five hundred people live here, more than half of the planets population. The roads are paved, lined with houses in the valley that protects the people from the blasting winds.
    00
    [ ]Farmlands
    Most of the food eaten in Kyyae, is grown here. Long rows of plants are farmed here, the scraps fed to cattle like beasts in fields nearby. Water is collected using ancient techniques as well as from underground pools. The farmlands are close to an oasis jungle but far enough away to avoid danger.
    00
    [ ]Valleys (1 sub-board)
    Deep valleys score the lands, collecting water and plants, forming jungles filled with all kinds of life. It can be miles from valley to valley and days without water, so most villages are built on the borders, but not without threats, many are too dangerous to live by as the creatures that occupy the jungles will prey on humans.
    00
    [ ]Desert
    Wild lands that cover most of Kyyae, almost inhabitable to all but the hardiest of creatures. During the day, the sun is searing hot although at night the temperature can drop to below -20 degrees. Wild creatures stalk the lands, well camouflaged against the large, serpentine predators. Sand worms are the most dangerous beasts here, growing up to twenty foot long with razor sharp teeth, ready to devour any source of movement.

    Cortan
    [ ]Dome 1 (4 sub-boards)
    The central hub of Cortan, all residential, governmental and judicial activity occurs here.

    Only place liable to be ever bustling with activity.
    00
    [ ]Dome 2 (3 sub-boards)
    Built to the west of Dome 1, and connected by a thick trans-tunnel, Dome 2 is a veritable haven of flora - thousands of plants are grown under it's roof, and the air is thick and muggy with oxygen and heat.

    Set off to one side are scientific housing and laboratories.
    00
    [ ]Dome 3 (3 sub-boards)
    Positioned slightly to the South-East of Dome 1, and connected to both other domes by wide trans-tunnels.

    Serves as industrial center for Cortan, along with housing the trade warehouses and spaceport.
    00
    [ ]Dead Wastes (1 sub-board)
    The vast wastes of Cortan - nothing more than barren rock and deep ravines as far as the eye can see - are marked only by the great upthrusts of rock that dot the land.
    00
    Space
    [ ]Space
    Between Nova's five planets and their shipping lanes, there is nothing but the darkness of space, broken only by asteroids and the occasional other ship.

    For slower ships, the trips can take weeks from planet to planet, just drifting along - long haul freighters and passenger ships especially.
    00
    [ ]The Patron
    A massive military ship, laden with guns and fighters ready for any form of attack on Nova.

    [ ]Planet-Ship "Hydra"
    A Planet-Ship. Simply put, it is a ship the size of a small planet, with everything a civilization needs. The ships are cut into four segments, each one a separate part of the Ship's 'World'. Each area is allowed it's own eco system, it's own architecture and people.

    About 20 milion people live on this ship, which slowly drifts around Nova.
