System Overview: Antioch
Antioch system is a Binary star system consisting of two O-class Red Dwarfs. All planets orbit Antioch-2, the second (slightly larger) red dwarf of the stars.
There are 5 planets in the system; named:
AS-1: Magma planet, completely covered in molten rock with a very thin atmosphere. Orbits extremely close to the star. No ships have landed on its surface and have returned.
AS-2: Oceanic world, but not one you would like. The oceans are composed of an extremely toxic and explosive mix of chemicals, which will eat through starship armor in minutes. It will also explode with great force due to the high methane content if oxygen is added. Ammonia based life is present, but due to the constant storms that whip through the few islands (dissolving any structures) no studies have been made on them.
New Antioch: Terran class world, extremely mountainous with low, shallow oceans between them. Home of the NeoRoman civilization. All cities are built between the mountains and the coasts, focused around rivers generally. Scientific institutes and industry are all in the mountains. Defenses in mountains. All cities equipped with Universe class shield generators which can be raised in 30 seconds. The only known object capable of penetrating a Universe class shield is also capable of causing an XX End-of-the-world scenario, including the extinction of all life and the complete destruction of all continental plates.
AS-4: Jovian/ Gas Giant. Not very special. Has lots of moons.
AS-5: Jovian with spectacular rings and massive reserves of helium-3 for use in Fusion Splicer Reactors.

System Overview: Sigma Antares, Novus
The Novus system was first discovered in 2162 by deep-space telescopes. Little was made of it, as it appeared to possess one near-habitable world and five other planets oribing a main-sequence star. Due to its position in the edge of the Draconis Nebula, it offers spectacular views of space.
SIGMA ANTARES I - Hadesia
Orbiting only .13 AU from its parent star, Hadesia is fairly mineral-rich, but otherwise is of little note. Mining operations have been conducted on the surface since the system's settlement, and a stellar observatory is situated in a polar orbit above it. No atmosphere and .65 surface gravity.
SIGMA ANTARES II - Nerus
Sister world to S.A. III, Nerus is a jungle world orbiting 1.092 AU from the star. With 78% surface water and 2 continents, it is inhabited only by native wildlife and scientific colonies. Despite it's habitability, it is preserved by the Commonwealth. Nerus has one tidally-lockee moon, roughly 1/12th it's size.
SIGMA ANTARES III - Novus
The capital of the system and the Commonwealth, Novus is a fairly small world orbiting at 1.092 AU from its star. With 97% surface water, .76 surface gravity, and a single island chain of any size, it is home to 2 million citizens and the Commonwealth parliament.
Due to it's position relative to Nerus - almost perfectly opposite it, but sharing its orbital path - the worlds are fairly easy to traverse between. Novus is also noted for its extensive orbital facilities, from the Scorpia Fleet Yards to the massive Alpha Habitation Ring. Additionally, it has 2 moons - Angelus (the "Angel Moon"), and Tengu.
SIGMA ANTARES IV - Pator
A Mars-like world at 2.41 AU from the star, Pator is a world primarily home to mining industries. With an iron- and silicon-rich crust and .45 surface gravity, this world produces a significant amount of materials for the Novan economy.
Its northern pole is home to a construction facility; the only groundside starship yard in the Commonwealth, this world builds both Raptor-class Corvettes and Valkyrie-class Frigates.
SIGMA ANTARES V - Teskan
Orbiting at 5.29 AU, Teskan is a gas giant. While on the upper end of the size scale, it contains no exceptionally notable resources, save the unusually pure hydrogen in the atmosphere, often used for fighter and corvette fuel.
SIGMA ANTARES VI - Valhalla
An ice world, Valhalla orbits at 6.82 AU. With no real resources save the ice on its surface, Valhalla is home only to the Commonwealth Star Navy's Sierra-2 Facility, or the Extreme Environments Training Facility. A .0024 bar atmosphere and .26 surface gravity ensures it lives up to the "Extreme".
