Fellow comrade, this is an informational guide to the planets and star within the system of Eusan, for your information and so that you are informed of the parts of the great machine that our Nation is going to assemble by bringing all planets together to continue our Revolution.
The Sun
The heart of our solar system, providing the necessary energy for life to flourish and subsequently leave Vineta. It serves as a symbol for the perfidious Empire, whose so-called ‘Solar Mandate’ forms the basis of monarchical rule. Researchers are investigating ways to harness the entirety of its radiative energy in the future.
Ys
A world not yet colonized by the time the Great Revolutionary severed the bond between Heimat and the Empire. Its eccentric orbit and proximity to the sun make Klimaforming difficult, but its vast iron reserves may prove tempting enough for the imperial menace for it to establish mining outposts to supply its military and industry.
Buyan
A world enveloped by toxic clouds of sulfur and the capital of the Empire. Floating cities dot its cloud-tops, with the atmosphere at that level being non-toxic and breathable for people; a miracle in Klimaforming, in other words. Its liberation is inevitable.
Vineta
The cradle of our civilization, ravaged by an intense conflict between our Nation and the Empire. It and the Urmond (the ‘original moon’) are currently being rebuilt, with the Urmond having been torn asunder by an imperial superweapon during the conflict. While the moon’s pieces are being reassembled quickly, life on the now-flooded world (the floods were also caused by an imperial superweapon) remains harsh due to transits of Kitezh between it and the outer solar system which the Nation calls home. Lingering imperial remnants and other counter-revolutionary groups also reside on the blue marble, which has made governance difficult.
Kitezh
Both a breadbasket and an industrial powerhouse, this planet is the one remaining lifeline the Empire has. Once its liberation is complete, its massive food & raw materials production will provide the necessary conditions needed for the complete and total annihilation of the Empire.
Rosette and Neu-Phrygien
Two of the largest asteroids within the asteroid belt between Kitezh and Rotfront which the Nation is planning to colonize. Their close proximity to Kitezh may tighten the noose around the Empire’s neck due to the strain potential military installations on the asteroids will have. The belt is also the current front line between our Nation and the Empire. Our Nation is currently exploiting resources from asteroids within the belt to supply the war effort.
Prometheus
The largest gas giant in the entirety of the solar system, with its iconic red storm (called ‘The Red Eye’ by Rotfronters) serving as backdrops for the new colony’s sky. Its four largest moons are Boudica, Rotfront, Spartakus, and Samo. Rotfront is the newest colonized celestial body within the system, providing a safe haven for Nation citizens. Klimaforming is still ongoing, with recent bioresonant anomalies hampering the effort.
Nüwa
The second-largest gas giant within the solar system, its beautiful rings have become an iconic image along with the hexagonal storms on each of its poles. Our Nation’s heart, Heimat, orbits this planet. Safely tucked between Leng and Prometheus, the capital, save for sporadic and often underwhelming imperial incursions, has enjoyed a period of unparalleled peace.
Celephaïs and Inquanok
The two smaller ‘ice giants’ within the solar system. Having fewer moons and thus less useful materials to exploit than either Nüwa or Prometheus, they serve as checkpoints between Heimat and Leng and nothing more.
Leng
The industrial powerhouse of our Nation, providing the largest raw materials production out of any celestial body in our control. As one of the original two celestial bodies to secede in favor of the Revolution, loyalty to Heimat is strong. It and its moon Kadath are tidally locked with each other, and it is the safest celestial body in our Nation due to its sheer distance from the inner solar system.
Oort Cloud
A colossal volume of comet-filled space surrounding the Sun. Not much is known about this region of our system, save for the fact that there may be a planet out in its reaches. The Penrose Program, in addition to projecting our power into this space, may also find this ‘Schattenplanet’ in the future.
