Dione

Dione is an Earth-like planet that is covered by a thick atmosphere. It is orbiting a red dwarf start at a distance of 0.23 AU. It has a very strong magnetic field which is protecting it from the strong solar flares that regularly hit it's outer atmosphere. The dominant life form are intelligent purple algae that live in the clouds and that give the planet it's unique color. The algae is believed to have developed a civilization of type I on the Kardashev scale and has founded colonies on the two moons Nereus and Tethys.

Nottuno

Nottuno is a gas giant orbiting a binary black hole system. The gravitational waves emitted by the orbiting black hole resonate with the atmosphere which leads to the turbulent wavy cloud structures. It is home to one of the largest cloud whale populations in the Scutum Centaurus arm of the Milky Way. The main export goods of the whales economy are gravitational wave power plants.

Nuni

Nuni is a small earth like planet that is inhabited by a self replicating robot species which evolved from the remainings of a crashed interplanetary probe of unknown origin. The robots economy is mainly based around harvesting crude Tschunk from the upper cloud layers and refining it into a variety of delicious end products. Since the transportation of large amounts of Tschunk is still a technological challenge and has not been completely solved, large parts of the production are directly served in one of the countless clubs that are based on the planet. Besides the Tschunk export the party tourism in the largest single economy on the planet.

Gila

Gila is a young planet with an age of less then 10G years. It emerged from 23 asteroids that collided after being kicked out of their orbits due to the flyby of a dark matter cargo vessel that got off track. The incident was a crucial factor for the introduction of guardrail fields along the main interplanetary highways. For a long time the planet has been considered to be unpopulated. It was only after the 2048 robotic submarine probe mission (LASUPRO) that it was discovered that the lava lakes are inhabited by lava worms. Besides that they snort around a lot the worm are a very peaceful and adorable species.

Marmota

Planet Marmota is a M-class planet orbiting a blue dwarf star in the outer regions of the Perseus arm of the milky way. It is famous for its extreme ultra violet ring system which is currently the largest known deposit of EUV emitting tin ore, which is a key material in cutting edge lithography technology. Some of the most famous psy trance festivals take place in the fluorescent mushroom forests around the equatorial glow belt. The forest are populated by large herds of marmots that live in a symbiosis with photosynthetic bacteria which inhabits their soft fluffy fur. The symbiosis allows them to live an extremely lazy and hedonistic lifestyle since they can acquire over 90% of their energy needs by just lying around and enjoying the warm and cosy EUV glow emitted by the planetary rings.

Mucosa

Until this day the size of Mucosa is not exactly known, since its surface is covered by a thick layer of mycelium. Furthermore it is over 2.3 Gigaparsec away from Earth and even the overwhelmingly large telescope (OLT) could only take this blurred image so far. Inverse models based on data from seismic wave measurements estimate the thickness of the mycelium to be around 7km. The strong winds in the upper atmosphere blow the spores through the whole planetary system. However, not all planets in the Mucosa system are populated by mycelium since the existence of a hydrogen rich atmosphere is crucial for the growth of the life form.

LT 993 b, proposed name: Furru

This planet was discovered in the Delta Quadrant in an area of relatively young planetary material that was probably accreted after the collapse of a solar fluff nebula. The surface of this planet has been covered by a magma ocean for at least 500 Ma. Spectroscopic analysis and density calculations indicate that the molten crust is composed primarily of a mineral called furroxene, which transforms as it sinks through the mantle and, according to the most satisfactory models, splits its structure into an intelligent life form and a much lighter mineral that floats to the crust and keeps the magma ocean alive. The life form, recently dubbed "furrons," populates the inorganic furroxene lava tubes. The latest reports are still controversial, but further data from the upcoming Furrby mission will hopefully bring new facts to light

The Astroid belt

The astroid belt is orbiting a pulsar which rotates at a frequency of 42Hz. Most objects in the astroid belt are rich of carbonaceous chondrites and Zircon crystals. Due to the strong radiation no life - except for some small space-snail colonies - exists on the asteroids. The radiation provides a continuous energy flux which is why most asteroids, are fully or at least partially molten.
