[OVERVIEW]:

Exposition

The Antarius System is the largest system of the Traiathad Nebula in the Triangulum Galaxy, otherwise known as Astraeus by the Aureans. The nebula lies between the two major arms, and above a minor arm named the "Altarran Expanse", and is divided into seven regions: Tarrig, Empyrean Highlands, Empyrean Lowlands, Sanctum, Zoliath, Wildar, and Altarran's Outer Reach, with the Antarius System lying near the center of the nebula in the region of space that is Empyrean Highlands.

The System

The Antarius System is composed of two black holes, four stars, and a grand multitude of planets. This system is thought to be the home of the Aureans, but as for the [REDACTED], well, this place is too bright and clean for it to be... There are numerous worlds, each with its own secrets and interests.

Inner Planets

Joraffan 6178, the first planet of the system, is highly guarded and kept esoteric, with there being rumors that it contains the gate to the place of the [REDACTED]. The second planet, Dommaraeas, is a hot gas giant, leaving quite a mess due to the heat and energy radiated by the twin black suns. It has large, dazzling auroras formed by the clash between the black suns and the planet's magnetic field. Kallabus was once a habitable world and possessed three oceans, before Aurean influence, and the effect of the black suns withered them away, plunging the planet into a runaway greenhouse. Andrios, the fourth planet of the system, once housed a great evil, one that is best not remembered... The fifth planet, Siroth, was a lot like Kallabus' ancient past; however, it managed to maintain its habitability.

Outer Planets

Arkkanna, the sixth planet, is the most prominent and valued planet. During the Siege of Saldur-Tavith during the Great Civil War, Arkkanna was brought to its knees, and nearly fell like the rest of the planets. However, the defending forces persevered and fought on, eventually winning the war by a near defeat. Its largest moon, Alteraan, is the homeworld of the Aureans. The seventh planet, Tarsaeas, is one of my favorites, and it is the third-largest planet in the entire system, highly industrialized. The third moon, Jatharis, has a lot of desolate ruins left behind by the [REDACTED], though the native biosphere has conquered most of it. Ikkaris and Garullas have been the scapegoats of the system. Little industry, distance, and unappealing, there is some sense as to why it is not favored. Katharaeas, the ninth planet, is widely known for its striking appearance, resources, and role it played during the Great Civil War. Lestroth and Orrias are my other favorites, due to their similarities to planets from the Milky Way Galaxy, such as Aureth. The last planet of the Core Antarius System, Durranaeas, has kind of been forgotten, sitting in the dust to collect it. It is not as widely known, aside from its purple hue, which Andrios already has. Its gases and rings are quite useful, but aside from that, there is nothing else.

Kaotetra

Kaotetra is the closest star system to Antarius, and is very significant. The third planet from the star, Endriall, is the second largest planet of the the entire Antarius System, and its moon, Tavithor, can be considered as the Aureans' second home. It is also the place where the Siege of Saldur-Tavith occurred, and fundamentally changed history. Now, it stands as a testament to the perseverance of Aureans and their desires for the freedom and well-being of all.
