Barred Spiral
Milky Way
6 star systems
A barred spiral galaxy and home to the Sol system. Four major arms wrap around a dense central bar, riddled with nebulae, black holes, and the accumulated wreckage of a hundred billion years of stellar birth and death. The Orion Arm — a minor spur — is where most known civilizations reside.
Aethon System
Orion Arm
★ Aethon · CLASS K
The Aethon System takes its name from its dim orange-amber star — a Class K dwarf burning at roughly 70% of Sol's mass. Five worlds orbit Aethon: a volcanic inferno, a world of endless seas, a ruined desert, the living world of Verath, and a distant gas giant whose rings are the remains of a moon that ventured too close. Verath is the system's crown — a world of kingdoms, runic magic, and an empire learning to use black powder.
Dharak System
Sagittarius Arm
★ Dharak Prime · CLASS G
Deep in the Sagittarius Arm, the Dharak System orbits a brilliant Class G star with twice the solar output of Aethon. The resulting magical saturation on Dharak itself has made it one of the most magically potent worlds in the known galaxy — and one of the most politically fractured.
Helvar System
Galactic Core
A mid-core system tucked between dense stellar nurseries, shielded from galactic radiation by a thick gas curtain. Its unusual stability — rare this close to the galactic center — has attracted artificial world builders and singularity-tier civilizations seeking a quiet address.
Solvinar System
Orion Arm
★ Solvinar · CLASS K
A K-type orange dwarf system, ancient and stable, with Originis as its jewel.
Valyra System
Perseus Arm
★ Valyra Sun · CLASS G
One of the oldest inhabited systems in the Perseus Arm. Valyra itself has achieved early interstellar capability, and its people are among the few known civilizations to have traveled beyond their home system — though the distances involved mean their outposts are still embryonic.
Velorix Expanse
Perseus Arm
A wide-orbit system with generous spacing between its worlds, sitting on the outer edge of the Perseus Arm. Known for hosting civilizations that prize independence — each planet developed largely in isolation before the system's inhabitants finally made contact with each other two centuries ago.
