Tellus (/tɛlləs/)


Technology Center of The Caelum

Tellus is one of the main central worlds and together with its sister star system, Caelus, it founded The Caelum which acts as the informal governing authority of the Grand Society. Although Caelus is the origin point for the Grand Society galactic coordinate system, Tellus contains the primary center for astrogation coordinates for the Grand Society and most of Ruartei.

Highlights

Tellus contains three major population centers (2 planets, 1 planetoid), many bases, multiple warp paths, a portal communication center, astrogation center, a few research and education centers, a technology center, a transportation center, an agriculture center, a resource rich mining center with large deposits of Kratosen, and two of the Five Crowns. Its military defense is handled by Caelus.

Environment and Habitability

Main Orbitals

  • Bia, a super-heated planetoid and its large space station,Bia Forgehaven.
  • Algea, an asteroid belt.
  • Tellurus, the first habitable planet and its moon Mamu.
  • Rania, the second habitable planet and its moon,Arctus, as well as the nearby portal, Enodia along with its operation facility, Enodia Station.
  • Eurymedon, a medium gas giant with 40-60 moons.
  • Ourea, an asteroid belt spanning 10-13 AU.

  • Thiazzi, an icy giant with 8-10 moons.

Scholars believe the large gap between Rania and Eurymedon was caused by the existence of the portal.
