Some day - a planet habitable by oxygen breathing organisms, now - a proto-world, abandoned mid-terraforming amidst faction conflict which now frequently ravages the land.

A former Horizon world fractured by the Sundering, Verdance’s Ashes now simmers with clan rebellion and Null-Merc incursions as Armada’s thinning grip leaves its future uncertain.

A jagged Taelith vault-world beyond the Line Worlds, Halecrown hides vast Tenebrium reserves within scan-shielded peaks and abyssal canyons that sustain frontier war and future Horizon expansion.

Orpheo Deep Array ODA-17 A cloaked surveillance station carved into an airless moon, now scanning for anomalies while Orpheo observers train in void meditation within its silent halls.

A pale moon suspended in the white-blue glow of its gas giant, Civitas is a sanctum of Memory Gardens, Echelon tribunals, and austere stone architecture.

A Veltari research-forge world where industrial refinement culminates in live-ammunition gunslinger duels.

Pitted plateaus, corrosive green pools, and fractured excavation sites mark the remains of multiple abandoned colonies.

The seat of House Taelith, defined by floating cities that circulate through thousands of biomes to preserve ecological balance.

Current capital of House Veltari. A world of fortress-cities battered by orbital debris, tectonic fracture, and plasma storms.

Homeworld of Keram’s Horizon, where human command and adaptive AI were developed together and continue to remain in open tension with the Echelon Code.

Capital system of the Lexright Stratum, the heart of Cortex engineering and administration. Once a forge of great constructs, it now refines the schematics and frameworks that Commanders carry to war, ready to reignite its furnaces should Tenebrium return.

A Terra-like, oxygen-rich planet that would make for a decent surrogate if not for its gargantuan size, density and the gravity that comes with them.

Yet another example of stretching the term 'habitable'. 85% desert. Relentless, blue star punishes Jashenon with UV light. However, a thick layer of silicon dust and ozone blocks everything but infrared glow, puzzling senses and breaking lesser minds during the resulting twilight.

One of the twin moons of planet Castra and the only celestial body in the vicinity that can undergo immediate settling by oxygen breathing organisms. Home to well hidden Independents and a logistic hub of strategic importance to Armada.

Because of its extreme tilt, the only area that one can really call habitable on Galphena is the strip of land along the equator. The rest of the planet is either scorched or frozen solid, although rich in rare minerals.

Kharros is an iron-soaked Line World fractured by vast purple seas that corrode machines and bury the remnants of decades of war. It remains perpetually contested only because abandoning it would open the frontier beyond.

Inkussik is a frozen frontier world stalled since the Severance era, where shifting ice and isolation bring forth unique theatres of war. Revered by Cortex as a test of emotional discipline and by Armada as a place of clarity through motion, it is a world worth contestation.

A planet quite hospitable, save for a ring of space waste encircling it and lashing its surface with mayhem wherever it goes.

The more people hear about M3-005 the more baffling and alien the celestial body appears, but it’s nothing, truly nothing, compared to reality.

Lush and green, albeit too sulphuric to be called a paradise. Osemo is an obvious landmark on the space trail between Cortex and Armadian areas of influence and, in consequence, one of the favourite theaters of the cold war.

A water-dominated civilian colony of Lux Terhal survivors, sustained by improvised maritime platforms and an emergent Van Terenhal monarchy.

Star system that is home to Perturiam Prime, a dual-sun world locked between fire and ice, where three rival Independent clans control a thin habitable band and deny all outside approach.

Veziri Prime, once Veltari seat of power near the Line Worlds, was destroyed in OT-3930 when Cortex infiltration forced the Continuum Protocol to authorize the Armed Pride to annihilate the world rather than let it fall.

Genavara is the convergence heart of Armada, a planetary archive and orbital habitat cluster where the Continuum Protocol is enacted.

A hybrid research colony where rogue subnodes have begun exhibiting unpredictable behavior.

Artturisir is a punishing Cortex academy world whose scarlet plains and fractured terrain serve as a brutal crucible where “Crimson Forged” cadets earn their place through endurance, order, and survival under the Echelon Code.

A fog-choked frontier world known for the actions of the pre-Commander Tarpor Rymhirsk

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us."

Derelict Transit Zone

A turbulent stellar shroud marking the far edge of the Line Worlds and the beginning of Nullspace.

A storm of red nebular clouds coils around a shadowed core, forming a shape that resembles a great eye staring into the void. Bright starfields gather along its edges, suspended in the surrounding darkness.

A Nebula partially composed of ferromagnetic interstellar dust. Cloud dancing around and collapsing under the gravitational pull from its heart of ceasless, nuclear fusion. One day, a proto star shall be born within.

One of the farthest explored nebulae from Sol, a sparse frontier of unstable lanes all but void of human presence.

A tangled nebula of burning reds and suffocating shadow at the edge of known space, Krogma’s Knot churns with dense clouds and violent energy currents that twist navigation paths and swallow distant starlight.

A graveyard of shattered worlds, a testament to first and final time planet crackers were used without restraint.

Per Continuum directive OT-3962.11, all inquiries regarding Alectryon, associated lifeforms, or the fate of Horizon Project assets are to be redirected to adjudication channels. Field personnel are advised that further speculation serves no operational purpose.

Homeworld of the Garmethdes Covenant, built in perfect alignment around the All-Father Prime reliquary. A planet of deliberate symmetry and continuous Memory Gardens, where ancestral counsel is interwoven at every level.

A ruined desert world within the Line, home to the largest spaceship graveyard in the known universe.

That which cannot be reached. Which cannot be replaced. Which can no longer be argued over. The collapse left no ruins, no relics. No signal has returned. No probe has survived the approach. What remains is a strategic vacuum that reshaped the galaxy, forcing limits where none had existed before.

Perseus Gate is a fortress world guarding the Perseus Transit, famed for pioneering anti orbital plasma cannons that once felled a Gaia class warship, its dormant guns still watching the Enzoette Shatterstorm and the approach to the Lex Mantle.

Orphan is a red dwarf system at the heart of the Orphean Expanse, home to Orp-2, a compact but fully militarized fortress world that serves as House Orpheo’s Lancecoil Academy, seat of power, and primary research nexus.

The Storm of Strakan was a minor Severance War skirmish that escalated into a system-wide slaughter as nearby fleets converged, burning their Tenebrium and forcing a last stand from both sides, leaving no victors, just a generation of surviors forever altered by their time in conflict and space.

A fortified Cortex planet of red iron valleys and lakes, undergoing heavy Casmir Generator construction.

Logisitical Outpost for Expansion into the Terminal Verge

The Capital of Cortex Civilization, it is the cradle of the Echelon Code and seat of the High Conclave.

A brilliant neutron star that tears open the surrounding nebula in radiant streams of light, forming a celestial beacon known as Sephirion Aerie, where drifting gas and violent radiation make it like a great winged silhouette spread across the void.

The last major Mantleguard stronghold in the Verge, serving as relay hub, tribunal, and command anchor.

Home to Garaskoon, a mining world in the Leris system where the collapse of SymarTec allowed Gartesk, a clan-led pathfinder order, to take control.

A product of the SD-3612 Terraforma Campaigns and modeled after restored images of Original Terra, Enborelde serves as one of the experimental terraforming grounds for Keram’s Horizon.
