Mjuka – An
Original

During the founding of the original
“Old Empire” the planet Mjuka [myoo-ka] played a strategic role in defense.
Humans occupy the planet, though there are legends of a now-extinct catlike humanoid
creature. A few, rare sightings and partial fossils have inconclusively proven the
existence of the beasts. Recent reports of shape shifting cat/humanoids have surfaced
here, but there are no verified sightings. This has been considered a hoax.
There are five moons, all too small
to be of significance either for colonizing, raw material, or tactical location.
Mjuka remains pristine and has one of the clearest atmospheres in the Old Empire
sector. It was the first world to be duplicated by the Terraformer’s Circle of Fellowship.
New Mjuka does not have the same clarity in its atmosphere and is under study to
correct the defect.
The Terraformer’s Circle of Fellowship
created living conditions on New Mjuka patterned after Mjuka.

Ohy — Shipped to Oh Hell

Ohy gets its red color from sand and
rock. The black areas are its seas, and the greenish yellow is landmass. It was
the first planet to be created by the Terraformer’s Circle of Fellowship. Ohy is
in one of the farthest corners of the Tarthian Empire and is home to about 2.2 million
Armada soldiers. No civilians live here. Due to the isolation, soldiers are routed
here for no more than three tradestandard months (nine solar months on Tarth).
Civilians arriving on tour are allowed
to enter the main concourse, but are accompanied under guard. It is rumored that
ships created at the FIST are tested here before being sent to the fleet. Here is
the official denial that Ohy is a “dumping ground” for misbehaving soldiers:
“While it is true that some soldiers routed to Ohy on tours of duty have been
involved in less than stellar behavior, it is not true that duty on Ohy is considered
punishment.” It is interesting though, that slang for duty on Ohy is
“Shipped to Oh Hell.” Occasionally, civilians do manage to find their
way into non-permitted areas.

Sanity IV — Gone Forever

Sanity IV – Gone Forever 
Raw materials are invaluable to a space-going
empire in constant need of new ships and transports. The practice of “recycling”
a world is vehemently opposed by naturalistic factions, who believe every world
has the right to exist as is.
The planet Sanity IV is the fourth
in the Sanity system within the Tarthian Empire.

Because no sentient life was found
on any of the worlds, the Terraformer’s Circle of Fellowship decreed them targets
for reclamation. Animals were trapped and removed, water, ice, plants, trees, and
oxygen were captured and transported to storage or other terraforming worlds. Each
planet was dismantled by attaching habdrills, massive ships that bored into the
surface and created fractures into the core. The raw materials of the planet were
used in manufacturing of every type, and served as asteroid-type weapons. Miners
and their families lived in the habdrills, and over one million at a time could
be found in various parts of the scattered units. Because the planets were being
taken apart, once dismantled they were gone forever. In the Sanity system, the saying
became popular that working there meant your “sanity was gone.”

The Terraformer’s Circle of Fellowship
uses the word GONE to denote the four stages of a planet’s dismantling process.
Total time is two hundred thirty years per planet.
  • G – Ground
    forces collect all living creatures possible, categorizing and transporting
    them to storage or other worlds. Also known as the Ark stage. Approximately
    nineteen years from beginning of this phase to the next.
  • O – Orbits
    destabilized – satellites disrupted, magnetic poles, gravitational fields,
    and volcanic eruptions are rechanneled. Approximately one year from beginning
    of this phase to the next.
  • N – Neutralization
    – habdrills arrive and begin full core penetration. Approximately ten years
    to completely dismantle the remaining hulk from beginning of this phase.
  • E – Eliminate
    threat of residue and residual damage by debris. Approximately two hundred
    years to reset system to zero residue. Handled primarily by robotic and android
    forces.
Sanity IV is nearing the completion
of mining. A sports and entertainment arena similar to a habdrill orbits the planet,
and live feeds from The Virtual Dome are broadcast throughout the mining colonies
and fed to the entire empire via Imperinet, the Imperial Internet.
The origin of the name Sanity is lost,
but legend says it began as a slang term in a song sung by miners.
