Celio: The Safe Haven

History

For the first 300 years within the light of Eos, no one dared to brave The Remnants.  The Archive had circuvented this dense asteroid belt upon mankind's approch, and no piloet dared to attempt the flight himself.  That is, until Jonas III's great Cleansing.

Jonas III was a zealous worshiper of The Archive, and when he discovered a secret sect of people that were still worshiping The Old God, he ordered them all put to death.  A small group, merely 300, escaped the slaughter in a ship they named John 3:16, and headed full thrust into The Remnants.  Miraculously, they made it through unscathed, and what they found on the other side was a small, temperate planet they named after their leader, Celio Woodbury.  This was the first Rim World, and since has become a safe harbor for anyone fleeing the core worlds.  Recently, a wave of refugees from the Memnon War have began to call Celio home.

Government

Celio is ruled by a democratic council of elected officials.  These officials are replaced every four years, via popular vote.  There is no leader figure head; All decisions are made for the people, by the people.

Emathion: The Vacation Desination

History

Soon after Smythe's discoveries on the thick, jungle planet of Memnon, The Empire sent and exploration crew to Phobos's other moon, Emathion.  What they found here was sure to surprise; a vast world of mostly blue-green ocean, speckled with tropical island chains that sported glorious vistas of waterfalls and flowering trees.  As soon as the new returned to Phaeton, Emathion became THE summer hangout for Imperial nobles and rich businessmen alike.

Its not all flowers and sunshine, however... Its beauty, and the heavy pockets that it drew in, brought the attention of many pirates and thieves as well...

Phobos: The Eerie Glow

History

The gas giant Phobos was discovered shortly after Phaeton.  It is the second planet from Eos, lying between Phaeton and the asteroid belt known as the Remnants.  Phobos is composed almost entirely of xenon and hydrogen gases, making it the prime hub for fuel mining within the system.  It is also home to luminids; Jellyfish-like creatures that live within its dangerous atmosphere and feed off its hydrogen.  These creatures are bio luminescent, and it is their activity that gives the planet its eerie glow.

Government

Phobos itself has no government, but it is under the jurisdiction of the Empire.  All fuel mining here is heavily taxed, and anyone caught stealing from Phobos is sentenced to instant death, delivered by the feared Hand.

Phobos also has two moons; Memnon and Emathion, which are described in their own sections.

Corporations

Any corporation may bid for a place on Phobos, but they are heavily taxed by the Empire.
