Prima

Tau Ceti

Humanity's first interstellar colony, settled immediately after the invention of the 5D Translation Generator in 2450 for Salvation's Earth-like conditions. Six centuries of development have made it the second most populous system after Sol and the birthplace of the colonial economy: practical, industrious, and quietly resentful of Earth's aristocratic pretensions.

Prima I

Hot rocky

Scorched inner world, too close to the star for practical development. Automated solar collection arrays only.

Art pending

Prima II

Hot rocky

Second inner world, similar to Prima I. Minimal development.

Art pending

Prima III — Salvation

Warm terrestrial

The prize: a world that needed minimal terraforming, with breathable atmosphere, liquid water and tolerable gravity. A population of 8 billion across multiple continents makes it the beating heart of colonial humanity.

Prima IV — Safeharbour

Temperate super-Earth

Agricultural world with higher gravity than Earth-standard, but within tolerable range. Vast automated farms feed Prima and export to other systems, with 2 billion permanent residents in processing centres and port cities plus seasonal workers.

Art pending

Prima V

Cold rocky

Cold outer rocky world. Limited mining operations and a small permanent population in the tens of thousands.

Art pending

Prima VI

Gas dwarf

Small gas world. Atmospheric mining for industrial gases from orbital processing stations.

Art pending

Prima VII

Gas giant

The system's major gas giant. Volatile harvesting operations, with moons hosting perhaps fifty million across several settlements.

Art pending

Prima VIII

Ice giant

Outer ice giant. Minimal development, automated fuel harvesting.

Art pending

Prima IX

Outer dwarf

Distant dwarf planet. Scientific outposts only.

Art pending

Prima X

Debris belt

Outer system debris field. Mining operations extract metals and volatiles, with scattered habitats and a transient population.
