-- EARTH --



The proud capital of the CDS, Earth is undeniably the commercial center of the known galaxy. High orbit is a hub of intense trader activity, taxed and megamanaged to maximise state profits. The populace enjoy very advanced technology and exceptional infrastructure on every inch of the planet. The surface of Earth is a carefully managed ecosphere, with a good balance between metropolis and nature reserve. Earth is the seat of government for the CDS and arguably the source of an oligarchy of political elites. The quantity of activity around Earth reflects it's status as the main hyperspace node for the core worlds.

-- OBAMA --

Named after the historical US President, Obama is a densely populated ecumenopolis in the far west of CDS space. It was the first planet to become fully industrialised outside of the core worlds, followed eventually by Luthan Prime. It was a major keystone in the 2nd sphere expansion, before it's importance was negated by the capitalisation of planets in the western 2nd sphere, and thus attention was shifted towards expansion in the west direction. The lack of corporation interest has made Obama degrade industrially, meaning high crime rates and heavy unemployment. Constant monotonous rain and rusty factories characterise the modern planet of Obama.

-- LUTHAN PRIME --

The primary planet in the Luthan system, not really part of the CDS anymore rather control is split between numerous criminal factions that flourished when law vanished from it's surface. One of many political controversies, Luthan Prime was conveniently forgotten by the CDS when crime rates soared, damaging the government's image in the media. Such criminal activity was most likely caused by unemployment and industrial decay, except on a much larger scale than Obama. What populace that has not evacuated lives under absolute tyranny, and there is no regard whatsoever to the civil or environmental sectors. Government and civil order has long since disintegrated under military pressure from radicalist criminal organisations, replaced by a transitional regime that shifts as crimelords battle for the 'throne'. Luthan Prime is one of the top employment destinations for smugglers, hitmen, right-wing rebels and all manner of social deviants.

-- WAKE --

A mystifyingly beatiful terran planet considered to be in the center of the 2nd sphere. A combination of toxic gases have produced a deceptive serenity of colours that illuminate the atmosphere, which are enticing but absolutely lethal to human respiratory systems, preventing the planet's colonisation. The CDS government decided to construct habitation in high orbit so that it could function as the 2nd sphere's main hyperspace node. Among these habitats are numerous heavy shipyards belonging to respected names in shipmaking, such as the prevalent Hagerz Shipmaking Consortium. The CDS Navy has also chosen to estabilish a strong presence here, as Wake is proposed by the CDS to become the first ever international hyperspace node, due for activation in 2302. Wake is already a bustling commercial center, and this move is set to more than quadruple the CDS economy.

More factfiles are in the works.
