Stars: Yellow Binary
Government: Grand Civic Concord
Primary Species: Que’Sha, Kremlanites, Tigonians
Planets: 13
The Asha’Kel System is the adopted capital of Que’Sha civilization and the political heart of the Que’Sha Territories. It serves as the seat of the Grand Civic Concord, where representatives from thousands of local councils gather to debate matters affecting the Territories as a whole.
Despite the Que’Sha reputation for diplomacy and consensus, the system remains one of the most heavily defended regions of space. The scars of an ancient disaster known as the Sundering still shape local politics, military planning, and cultural identity.
Planets in order of Orbit
Lom’Run
Function: Mining World
Population: Small Settlement Network
Government: Mining Concord
Gravity: 0.71g
Moons: None
Lom’Run contains the largest known Illyrion deposits within Que’Sha space. Most of the world consists of automated mining complexes operated by civic cooperatives and supervised by the Mining Concord.
Delialt
Function: Defense Training World
Population: Primarily Military and Support Personnel
Government: Defense Concord
Diameter: 11,562 km
Day Length: 48 hours
Gravity: 0.96g
Moons: 3
Major Cities: Que’Quech, Royatlon, Relmfor, For’Loriv, Triquia, Col’Run, Desstar
Delialt serves as the primary training world for the Territorial Defense Fleets. The humid world is dominated by endless jungles and vast swamps. Deep ocean basins—many believed to be ancient impact sites—descend more than twenty kilometers below sea level. The waters remain contaminated in some regions due to environmental damage caused during the Sundering.
Asha’Kel
Function: Homeworld of the Que’Sha
Population: Core Civic World
Government: Grand Civic Concord
Diameter: 10,036 km
Day Length: 31 hours
Gravity: 1.09g
Moons: 4
Continents: Aitrique’Zom, Souilon Rim, Notrof Litar, Triminique, Orieque’De, Asientique
Major Cities: Scaleshine, Scalegleam, Fanglore, Dragonhead, Tailspike, City Blue Water, City Blood Claw, City Black Heart
Asha’Kel is the cultural, economic, and political center of the Que’Sha Territories. Ancient records describe the Sundering as a near-extinction event that devastated much of the system. While the environmental damage has long since healed, ruins from that era remain scattered across both the world and its moons. The Grand Civic Concord meets in Scaleshine, where delegates from across the Territories gather to determine policy through consensus.
Kariania
Function: Kremlanite Homeworld
Population: Kremlanites, Tigonians
Government: Kremlanite Warrior Councils
Diameter: 4,060 km
Day Length: 28 hours
Gravity: 0.08g
Moons: 2
Once believed destroyed during the Sundering, Kariania survived through vast subterranean cities carved deep into the mantle. Modern Kremlanite settlements are connected by a colossal metallic shell covering much of the planet’s surface. The world is considered the spiritual center of Kremlanite martial traditions. It is presumed that this world was terraformed at one time.
Tigoron
Function: Tigonians Homeworld
Population: Tigotonians
Government: Royal Monarchy
Diameter: 8,948 km
Gravity: 1.93g
Moons: Debris Ring
Tigoron is among the most hostile inhabited worlds in the Territories. The atmosphere contains little free oxygen and is dominated by methane, ammonia, sulfur compounds, and dense chemical clouds. The destruction of the planet’s moon during the Sundering created the debris ring that still encircles the world.
Frigia
Classification: Gas Giant
Diameter: 130,567 km
Gravity: 3.01g
Moons: 8
Frigia’s moons contain major defense installations, mining operations, and shipyards supporting the Territorial Defense Fleet.
Notable moons include:
- Avenging Star (Moon): Function: Primary Defense Fortress
- Knight Star (Moon): Function: Fleet Support Base
- Cloud Ruler (Moon): Function: Recreation and Diplomatic Center
- Adeque’Troc (Moon): Function: Major Shipyard
- Dredwor I–III (Moon): Function: Illyrion Mining Colonies
Rocdred
Function: Memorial World
Once one of the largest Que’Sha colonies, Rocdred was rendered lifeless during the Sundering. The system’s largest memorial complex orbits the dead world, preserving countless wrecks and artifacts from the catastrophe. No permanent settlements exist there.
Warroque
Classification: Gas Giant
Diameter: 140,743 km
Gravity: 4.63g
Moons: 2
Warroque marks the outer edge of the heavily populated regions of the Asha’Kel System. Its moons serve as military outposts and early warning stations protecting the approaches to the home system.
- Sword Arm (Moon): Function: Territorial Defense Fortress, Population: Que’Sha Military Personnel. Sword Arm houses extensive sensor networks, fighter installations, and fleet support facilities. It serves as one of the primary defensive bastions guarding the outer approaches to Asha’Kel.
- Flame’s End (Moon): Function: Dead Moon. Flame’s End was rendered uninhabitable during the Sundering. The shattered remains of ancient settlements still dot its scarred surface, and expeditions occasionally recover relics from beneath the radiation-seared crust.
Frozdred
Classification: Gas Giant
Diameter: 34,633 km
Gravity: 3.94g
Moons: 2
Frozdred occupies one of the most strategically important locations within the system. The giant world’s moons support both military and industrial operations vital to the Que’Sha Territories.
- Dragon Wing (Moon): Function: Concord Fleet Shipyards. Dragon Wing is one of the largest starship construction facilities in Que’Sha space. Its orbital docks construct everything from civilian transports to major defense vessels assigned to the Territorial Defense Fleet.
- Basadron (Moon): Function: System Defense Command. Basadron serves as the central command facility for the Asha’Kel System’s outer surveillance network. The moon coordinates thousands of autonomous monitoring satellites and deep-space sensor platforms stationed throughout the outer system. Much of the intelligence gathered from Platron, Arpitron, and Rapitron is processed here. Basadron also hosts one of the largest permanent military garrisons in the Territories.
10. Worfrend
Function: Mining World
Population: Que’Sha Colonists
Government: Resource Concord
Diameter: 8,647 km
Gravity: 0.16g
Moons: 15 Captured Asteroids
Major Settlements: Adrak, Drakon, Flyrom, Sicrull, Pralong, Quelon, Felston, Fort Wor, Batttri
Worfrend contains some of the richest Illyrion deposits found anywhere within the Que’Sha Territories. The planet’s low gravity makes large-scale mining operations relatively efficient, leading to the development of extensive surface excavation complexes and orbital refining stations. Many of the captured asteroid moons have also been converted into automated extraction facilities. Because of its economic importance, Worfrend maintains a substantial Territorial Defense presence.
Platron
Classification: Frozen Rocky World
Diameter: 2,564 km
Gravity: 0.09g
Moons: 4
Function: Deep-Space Observation Station
Platron supports a network of automated observatories dedicated to monitoring activity beyond the core regions of the Territories. The planet’s remote location and minimal electromagnetic interference make it ideal for long-range astronomical observation and Foldspace monitoring. Only a small permanent crew resides on the world.
Arpitron
Classification: Frozen Rocky World
Diameter: 8,943 km
Gravity: 0.65g
Moons: 5
Function: Scientific Observation World
Arpitron hosts research stations dedicated to astrophysics, Foldspace phenomena, and long-range surveillance.Several of the planet’s moons contain powerful sensor arrays capable of tracking starship movements across vast regions of space. The world is jointly administered by scientific councils and the Territorial Defense Fleet.
Rapitron
Classification: Gas Giant
Diameter: 110,111 km
Gravity: 2.69g
Moons: 9
Function: Outer-System Monitoring Zone
Rapitron marks the farthest regularly inhabited region of the Asha’Kel System. Its moons host listening posts, navigation beacons, and automated monitoring platforms responsible for tracking activity approaching from the frontier regions beyond Que’Sha space. Several moons contain ancient facilities dating back to before the Sundering, though many remain sealed and unexplored. Because of its distance from the inner system, Rapitron has become a favored destination for scientific expeditions, prospectors, and those seeking solitude far from the population centers of Asha’Kel.
