Introduction to the planets of the Koplu Sector

Before the invasion of the Xenomorph Swarm, Elle was a green planet with pristine oceans, dense jungles, and thriving cities. Its atmosphere contained moderate levels of greenhouse gases, and the planet's orbit had a low centrifugal rate, resulting in a hot and humid climate that supported a great deal of life. Over hundreds of millions of years, countless species have been born in the hot and humid rainforests of Ayr, with the Star Spirits being among the best of them. Planetary Data:

Over 60% of the land on this rocky planet is covered in ice, with ice caps up to two miles thick in some areas. Thousands of years of glacial erosion have created a rugged and sinuous landscape of ice-eroded mountain systems, with cliffs and deep valleys crisscrossing the planet's surface. In these areas, gravity-induced downdrafts can often create winds in excess of 150 miles per hour.

Export: none As the Imperial Planet of the Terran Empire, Kha IV is a radiation-ravaged world in the war-torn human history of the Koplu Sector. As the fourth planet in the Kha system, Kha IV (often simply referred to as "Kha") was originally a lushly vegetated world with a mild climate. It was settled by Tarsanis colonists in the early days of exploration. Kha soon became one of the thirteen Federation home planets, known for its high level of science and advanced research facilities, and contributed to many of humanity's key breakthroughs in military and technological development. But like all those home planets, Kha IV became a vassal of the Terran Federation and the corrupt old House Tasanis. Over time, the political situation on Kha IV grew tense. Many revolutionaries were calling for Kha IV to break away from Federation control.

Long considered to be the richest of the mineral planets owned by humanity in the Koplu sector. It contains immense resources of ore and gas. The first settlers to arrive on Moria were the passengers of the supercarrier Jacob. It was one of four colony ships that brought humans to this sector. After Jacob made an emergency landing on this planet, the people aboard it dismantled the supercarrier as the initial batch of materials they needed to establish a home on Moria. At the time, they were unaware of the presence of two other colonized worlds in the sector: Tasanis and Yumoyan.

Humans needed resource-based planets capable of sustaining large-scale industrial production and interstellar trade. It was not until those resource-rich home worlds had been fully explored, colonized and exploited that Cerro gradually became the new human colony.

The Nargilfa carried the supercomputer Atlas, which controlled the four ships for the entire 28 long years of interstellar voyage. Although the Atlas produced many fatal malfunctions, it still played an extremely important role in the development of Tarsanis, giving the planet's newest inhabitants a considerable advantage.

One of them, the Sarenge, suffered a fatal systems error and crashed on landing, cutting a massive canyon into the planet's surface. All 8,000 passengers on board perished. But the Rigan landed safely. When the passengers on board awoke from their hibernation pods, they found themselves on a truly alien world: the sky of Yumoyan was a brassy orange; the air had a faint aroma, and a myriad of strange beings dotted the vast plains and grasslands.
