Despite possessing a thin atmosphere, this planetoid is rendered uninhabitable by the choking, acrid dust that covers its surface - in some places to a depth of several kilometers.

All survey probes have either been swallowed by the dust oceans or ceased functioning shortly after planetfall, presumably due to the nearly microscopic dust particles working their way into the delicate electronics.

Diameter: 8,972 km.
Mass: 4.78 x 10e24 kg.
Terrain: Desert
Temperature: -70°C to 50°C
Escape Velocity: 9.75 km/sec



Previously a barren world, Harris was the object of one of the first large-scale terraforming efforts by Planetform Inc. Initiated in 450 A.S., the project was made easier by the abundance of pure water and oxygen ice in the system, while terraforming gases were easily transported by Bowex from the Stokes Mining Station in nearby Leeds.

Harris was originally scheduled to open for colonization in 820 A.S., but the project has recently suffered a series of setbacks due to attacks by Gaian terrorists.

Diameter: 23,118 km.
Mass: 8.76 x 10e24 kg.
Terrain: Transitional
Temperature: -35°C to 48°C
Escape Velocity: 16.78 km/sec











Named after the senior lieutenant on Von Rohe's fateful expedition, Schutz is a dying planet, slowly being melted by the swelling red giant sun at the system's center. One of only two planets still intact in the system, its surface is convulsed by numerous volcanos. It serves as a shield for the Solarius station, protecting it from the intense radiation emitted by the dying sun.

Diameter: 4,972 km.
Mass: 3.0 x 10e24 kg.
Terrain: Volcanic
Temperature: 300°C to 500°C
Escape Velocity: 6.75 km/sec
