Worlds of the Empire

Glossary

Homeworld -- Any Clan controlled world with more than one billion Clan inhabitants, self-sufficient and significant political power.
Client People -- Any sentient species whose political power within the Empire is based on submission to one of the Clans. (Generally, if a sentient fails to submit to one of the Clans, it is ignored or exterminated). These are considered Clan controlled planets.
Colony -- All other planets with Clan (including client people) species inhabiting them. This is a broad category and ranges from small outposts to densely populated worlds with insufficient political power to become registered as homeworlds.

Clan Imperial

Throneworld III -- The only world in the Empire where cybernetic modification has shed it. s social stigma. In fact, modification for purely social reasons has become a fashion among the wealthy and influential.
Throneworld IV -- Famous for its massive shipyards. It is an earthlike planet with two moons. One of the moons has been mostly cannibalized for materials in the shipyards. The remaining husk has been terraformed into a space station.

Clan Terralopsian

planet. The Terralopsians control the fewest planets and have no client people. They are very xenophobic and guard their secrets, but the Empire is comfortable with them because they are shy, reclusive, have weak weapons and share many of their technologies. Both planets have powerful planetary force fields. Both planets have many starbases and extensive shipyards capable of building huge starships (q.v. Planetcaster and Heartbreaker). Though they will not share the secrets of their technology, the Terralopsians export many prefabricated technological components, including instructions how to incorporate them into other devices. They import very little, mostly raw organic materials and cultural pieces like sports memorabilia, paintings or sculptures. It is unclear which was the first world inhabited by the Terralopsians.

Forebear -- One of the two Terralopsian planets. It is third from the sun and has no moons.
Remsol -- The second of the two Terralopsian homeworlds. It is fourth from the sun, has no moons, but does have vestigial rings.

Clan T'laren

T'lara II -- A paradise world protected from ecological harm by the god-like being Warship (q.v.). The T'laren have built a resort world and tourism is the major export. Three large spaceports and two large space stations support the tourist trade. One spaceport floats on the planet's largest ocean. The planet has two small moons.

Clan Hubenka-tor

Hell -- A colony world that had to be abandoned when a near-miss by a comet permanently disrupted the stability between Hell and its three moons. The resulting gravitational disruptions required immediate evacuation and resulted in the loss of a Frost-class cruiser. The only known sentients in the system now reside on a permanent astronomical and geological research station located in an unstable orbit far away from the planet. It is still technically considered a colony.

Clan Averni

Rimshot -- The original Averni colony. It continues to remain a colony because it never attracted enough population to become a homeworld. Rimshot is very beautiful. It has a few useful exports and has gained political power because of its status as the first colony.
