Population: unknown
Government: UN Governor
Type: Colony, UNS Testing, training and rearming facility.
Military:
- Edlings AFB: does advanced flight testing, amongst other duties.
Antala
Name: Jester, Concept JJ.

El Dorado
Location: Sector Seven, next to Section G of Sector 6.
- El Dorado
Small White Star.
- Frida
Molten surface.
- La Cucaracha
- Minor asteroid belt.
- El Dante
- Terrain: Should be a lush utopia, but is heavily scared with impact craters. Equatorial belt is a dry desert, due to atmospheric heating and moisture vaporization from meteor strikes. Has rings like Saturn and an impressive number of small natural satellites.
- Population: unknown; not more then a handful.
- Government: none.
- Type: Wild planet; only colonists are the insane or those who can't live anywhere else live here. As close to an unpopulated, lawless planet as one is going to get.
- Military: none.
Notes: known to have random and sudden comets and meteors randomly hitting the planet.
- Le Voyager
- Major Asteroid Belt
- Los Gigantor
- Terrain: Large sized gas giant with a lot of rings and a lot more natural satellites.
- Los Carburator
- Medium Asteroid Belt
- El Carro
Terrain: Medium sized gas giant with a moderate amount of rings and many natural satellites.
- 128.5 ly away from Sol.
- HD 28185 b
- about 1.03 AU away from HD 28185
- The planet has a minimum mass of 5.70 x Jupiters.
- In terms of insolation it is the most Earth-Like planet found around another star; but it's a gas giant, so its surface conditions would be very unlike those of Earth. A large moon of this planet could theoretically support an Earth-like climate.
Momoyama (Core)
In a part of Sector 7 near the core of the UNG (Earth.)
- Momoyama
"Largish" yellow-white sun.
- Momoyama-1
Micro Planetoid
- Momoyama-2
Desert Planet
- Momoyama-3
Gas Giant. Contains a valuable gas used in operating spacefold drives. Likes like a giant peach; same motley pink-yellow-red colouration. It has many smaller moons and moonlets in orbit.
- Core
- Population: 100
- Government: Galactic Kroneor Establishment.
- Type: Mining complex, refinery and management facility on a platform in a low orbit (within the atmosphere) of Momoyama-3. Not a colony per se. Created, managed and run by the gas mining company: Galactic Kroneor.
- Military: None.
- Defenses: the complex has a few AA gun and missile emplacements. Mostly uses Momoyama-3's atmosphere to hide itself from visual and rudimentary sensor scans.
- Momoyama-3A; Aka: Seed
- Orbit: 26-hour orbit with the same characteristics as Earth's moon. One side is always facing Momoyama-3. Daytime always has the dark side of Momoyama-3 in the sky and nighttime is illuminated by the light side of Momoyama-3, giving a orangey-pink hue.
- Size: About as big as Earth's moon but has a gravity of 0.83 Earth.
- Terrain: Grasslands. Forests limited to alpine and sub-arctic regions. Has few rivers and fewer mountains. What little groundwater there is consists of streams, brooks, ponds and lakes that are above the water table. Due to this effect, some of the land can be defined as 'muskeg.'
- Population: 750 (est.)
Map of the area near the main settlements on Seed.
- Government: Pseudo-company/colony Meritocracy.
- Type: rural farming communities.
- Military: Small SDF at the largest "settlement". Consists of a few really old and used VFs and rusted out Destroids. (All operational - but how much...?)
Notes: Not a colony per se. Seed was colonized indirectly by the company in charge of Core. The planet was colonized largely for farming to offset the costs of importing foodstuffs from out-of-system. "Colony" consists of a single large settlement (Momodani) and five smaller satellite settlements around it; all in the prime growing land.
- Momoyama-4
Gas giant.
- Momoyama-5
Ice Planetoid, sometimes considered a captured comet and not a "true" planet.

- New Patagonia
Major sector UN Government and colony site, in the outer reaches of Sector 7. Contains orbital fleet repair yards and often serves as a collating point for long-distance exploration and outer rim Galaxy Patrol Fleets.
