Affiliation: Imperium
Native Race: Telema
Main Weapon Produced: Ei Hand Cannon
Main Ship Produced: Dohol Super Battleship
Description: Shofar has an unusual orbit path. The planet swings dangerously close to its neighborhood star for several standard months and then it travels some distance away before coming back around toward the star again. One complete loop takes many standard Taborian years.
This results in interesting climatic and gravity changes. When closest to its sun, Shofar experiences heats extreme enough to decimate most (but not all) life. The planet becomes volcanic. As it travels away from the sun the climate becomes more temperate and the volcanic activity coupled with heavy rains makes the ground fertile. As Shofar reaches the pinnacle of its orbit everything, including the natives, goes into hibernation in order to withstand the frozen months furthest away from its sun.

Dulcian (Planet)
Affiliation: Imperium
Native Race: Weiss
Main Weapon Produced: Loure Immobilizer
Main Ship Produced: None
Description: The entire surface of this planet is covered by grassy plains and large rock formations. The source of the rock formations continues to puzzle scientists since they do not seem to result from the planet's plates being pushed together. Rather, these rocks appear to have been a result of some sort of meteor-like body breaking apart and littering the surface.
There are no natural bodies of water other than small lakes formed from underground springs. The weather never gets cold enough to snow but spring is marked by violent lightning storms that take place over the entire planet.

Kortholt (Planet)
Affiliation: Rebellion
Native Race: Strozzi
Main Weapon Produced: vi Sniper Rifle
Main Ship Produced: Viala Fighter
Description: A temperate planet for the most part. Kortholt boasts just about every type of natural terrain from beautiful oceans to pristine forests to majestic mountains. If it weren't for the native race of fierce women warriors, this planet would have long ago been conquered by the resource-greedy Imperium.
Rebellion spies have uncovered rumors that Korholt may very soon expect a full on assault. Imperium military strategists have so far had a difficult time figuring out the best way to go about it since the strozzi have no apparent capital or overly large cities.

Zink (Planet)
Affiliation: Rebellion
Native Race: Vivald
Main Weapon Produced: Augmented B9 Pistol
Main Ship Produced: Clarinit Battleship
Description: This lush, swampy planet is one of the oldest in the galaxy. The atmosphere is toxic to most beings but Zink has a unique beauty to it in that many of the native plants are colors one doesn't see elsewhere. If one is willing to brave the inhospitable air, it is reportedly quite a spectacular site flying over Zink's surface.
The native vivald are quite openly in favor of the Rebellion, a political stance not many planetary governments have been bold enough to take. The vivald know that their atmosphere would make Zink an expensive planet to occupy and they flaunt this fact in front of the Imperium.
Therefore Zink has become a refuge for those fleeing Imperium persecution. The multitude of species now found on the planet has made the culture as colorful as the foliage.
Gemshorn (Planet)
Affiliation: Imperium
Native Race: Ramea
Main Weapon Produced: Edim Rifle
Main Ship Produced: Biss Fighter
Description: Essentially a gigantic rock. The most notable feature about Gemshorn is the distinct lack of vegetation and terrain life. Termal vents found beneath the crust have allow allowed gases from the core to escape and form a subterranean atmosphere in the caves formed by volcanic eruptions.
While generally avoided by tourists, Gemshorn is one of the top producers of raw metals for the Imperium. The entire crust of the planet contains the crucial materials used for ship and weapon construction. The rameans must be careful when mining, however. If too many holes are made through the crust, the stability of their atmosphere could be compromised as gases escape into space.

Gittern (Planet)
Affiliation: Imperium
Native Race: None
Main Weapon Produced: None
Main Ship Produced: None
Description: Arguably one of the most interesting planets yet discovered. Due to a unique combination of planet rotation speed and proximity to various solar bodies, the seasons on Gittern change at an extremely rapid pace. Each "day" on Gittern lasts about eight standard hours and the seasons change about every three days.
With the constant switching between thick snow storms, rain and intense heat, the only native inhabitants to Gittern are several species of fungus. The fungus seems to have no trouble adapting to the rapid changing environment.
Technically under Imperium jurisdiction, this unique planet serves a unique role for Imperium troops: it is used as for survival training when cadets finish their year of basic training. The cadets are dropped off with only the most basic of supplies and are expected to survive for two standard weeks. Those that do become full-fledged members of the Imperium military and must serve for another four years to complete the mandatory service requirement.

Corna (Planet)
Affiliation: Imperium
Native Race: Bac
Main Weapon Produced: Db Mounted Pistol
Main Ship Produced: Tumpet Battleship
Description: Corna was one of the first planets to be "initiated" into the Imperium. The planet's native inhabitants are friendly enough but certainly not known for their strategic expertise. They surrendered control almost the moment the Imperium set foot on their planet.
Corna is primarily known for being almost entirely covered by forests and is a popular tourist destination. The bird-like bac live in large nests that most species find fun and/or romantic to stay in. Because of this the Imperium rarely bothers Corna for anything other than taxes. They like to think that they are keeping the morale of their citizens high.
Corna is an average sized planet however only a very small portion of it is deemed habitable. Much of the forest contains deadly plants that can consume a human-sized being. The ancient bac used to have a tradition of venturing into these more hazardous areas to kill such a plant and claim a trophy of honor. However, it has been centuries since anyone has attempted such a feat.

Shawm (Planet)
Affiliation: Rebellion
Native Race: Zelenca
Main Weapons Produced: Fm ii Pistol, Menut Enviromental Suit
Main Ship Produced: Tubo Battleship
Description: Shawm is almost entirely covered with water. A few scattered islands contain enough resources on them to have encouraged the otherwise water-dwelling Zelenca to evolve a set of oxygen breathing lungs.
Though few have ever been able to visit the underwater civilization, it is reported to be exotically beautiful. The Zelenca are more or less a peaceful race. Their entire government is run democratically. Much of the submarine technology they have developed has been applied to their outer space ships. This has resulted in one of the galaxy's most impressive battleships.
Since the planet's environment is generally inhospitable for air breathers, Shawm is one place the Imperium truly sees as a threat toward their plans for expansion. This planet could be the key to the Rebellion's victory.

Tabor (Planet)
Affiliation: Imperium - capital
Native Race: Human
Main Weapons Produced: V7 Rifle, Saraband Cloaking Device
Main Ships Produced: Cillo Fighter, Picolo Submarine
Description: The Imperium's capital and the original human homeworld. A lush, green planet with an abundance of natural resources that allowed the human race to thrive over the centuries. The Imperium was founded as a centralized government once the first humans set out to colonize other planets.
Experiencing an era of unprecedented cultural and technological advances, the government decided it would be best to try and share this progress with other races... whether they liked it or not....

Rebec (Planet)
Affiliation: Rebellion
Native Race: Scarlati
Main Weapon Produced: C6 Sniper Rifle
Main Ship Produced: Veolen Fighter
Description: An arid planet with not much going for it other than rough desert beauty. The planet closely circles a hot blue sun making crop growing on the surface a next to impossible task. Most of the native Scarlati are nomadic. A few of the more powerful tribes have managed to establish a handful of permanent cities allowing for technological advances.
