Whanga/Regina

The Whanga (E676126-7 NI G) system is a binary star system with a G-class primary and a remote M-class, the latter occupying the outer orbit of the system and having several small moons, effectively making this a small system of its own. Whanga-1 (Rodeo Belt) is a dense asteroid field. Whanga-2 (Whanga) is the main planet of the system, while Whanga-3 (Spridonis) is a small ice ball. Whanga-4 (Coperino) is a small gas giant, while Whanga-5 (Haaradugeshin) is a cold rock with a highly reflective ferrous content, making it glow ominously red in the night skies of Whanga.
Whanga has a diameter of 9,755 km and a gravity of 0,98G. The atmosphere has a high content of volcanic gases, which requires the use of filter masks to be breathable. Oceans and lakes cover 62 percent of the surface, and the planet is best regarded as primordial by Terran standards.
 Whanga was settled twice, first late in the Long Night by Vargr fleeing some war far to coreward in Gvurrdon, then during the 2nd Century by humans from the Imperium. The two populations did not get along and eventually spent more time fighting than building their societies, forcing both into slow declines. The Imperium tried in vain to mediate. In 250 the Imperium formally annexed Whanga, put it under protective interdict, and left it to work out its own destiny. In 550, the humans and Vargr of Whanga were found to have fought each other to extinction. A follow-up expedition confirmed the findings and Whanga was offered up for auction. In 1155 it was sold to Sternmetal Horizons which was supposed to open up the world for colonization. Today, Sternmetal's survey teams have still not finished their preliminary survey, and people are beginning to wonder why.

Yurst/Regina

Yurst (E7B4643-5 Non-industrial G), a non-aligned system on the periphery of the Regina subsector. The system consists of: Yurst A, a thin asteroid belt orbiting a K- class star Bolo/Yurst B, a small hothouse planet Agrinian/Yurst C, a mid-sized ringed gas giant with at least 14 moons Yurst Prime Jeffrey/Yurst E, a cold desert planet with a trace atmosphere Brylon/Yurst F, a small rock Hanishapura/Yurst G, a small gas giant with six moons The main planet is the home of 1,859,003 inhabitants as of 250-1199. The population is mostly human with some 3 percent Vargr, 6 percent Kothraki and 2 percent other. Although Yurst Prime is classified as having a corrosive, sulphur-laden atmosphere, the density of the atmosphere leaves several mountain ranges clear of the corrosive atmosphere, and the population inhabiting these ranges can enjoy a fairly standard atmosphere. The special living conditions on Yurst Prime has led to various forms of aircraft, mainly helicopters, autogyros an

Beck's World/Regina

Beck’s World (D88349D 4 Non-industrial, gas giant) The Beck System is composed of an asteroid belt, a rocky planetoid, Beck’s World and five gas giants. Beck’s World is mainly composed of dry plateaus, but the valleys between the plateaus are almost entirely filled with lush tropical forests featuring some truly amazing plant- and wildlife. The system was initially surveyed some 1,400 years ago, although the original records have been lost. It was, however, purchased by the eccentric tycoon Dorian Beck in 78, and used as his personal game reserve and leisure world until Beck’s business empire collapsed in 202. As it were, the staff was left to its own devices, and the system became a backwater, albeit a lush and rather demanding backwater. Many of the sons and daughters of the system left the planet over the course of the centuries, leaving the population at around 10,000. However, the population has increased steadily over the course of the last hundred years, and as o
