Hera is the capital world of the Heragul Empire. It features vast dry deserts slowing taking over an equatorial tropical region. This small region hosted much of the Heragul history and was home to all the powerful leaders of the past. The marginalized members of Heragul history often found themselves exiled to the deserts to survive around the salty lakes which change with the seasons.
The Albion Economic prefecture is not a legal political entity as it is simply a contract between nine planetary systems to adopt the same set of economic laws. This contract has helped the prefecture become an incubator for many businesses.
Albion Six is the center of the Albion Prefecture. The majority of all negotiations that involve the Albion Prefecture are done on this planet. In addition, many of the corporations which call the Albion Prefecture home have headquarters here.
Cadre Three is one of the major seats of political power in the Albion Prefecture. While its economy is diverse, it is not self sufficient. Without constant shipments of food, water, and other supplies, Cadre three would likely fall into chaos very quickly.
Albion Eight rotates on a perpendicular axis and orbits just within the frost line of its yellow/white star. These factors lead to the planet having an average temperature just below the freezing point of water. Its oceans and lakes are a slushy icy mix and though an Heragul can breathe the atmosphere, a strange mix of trace chemicals causes its clouds to have a light blue tint.
These frigid temperatures have proven to be useful to many forms of manufacturing as the entire atmosphere is one giant heat sink. In addition, the lack of anything living except single cell bacterial have left the Heragul without any reason to protect the environment.
Despite being devoid of any life and having an atmosphere toxic to the Heragul, Kaylynn Six is still valuable to the Empire. The sand dunes which cover much of the planet are rich in lighter elements such as carbon, silicon, and aluminum. Heavier element veins found in the mountainous equator regions provide copious amounts of iron, titanium, and uranium. All combined, Kaylynn Six’s mining operations provide nearly 40% of the resources to Albion Eight’s factories and 25% of the resources to Caldera Two’s military stardocks. Losing this planet to the Surakari would certainly be a heavy blow to industry of the Albion Prefecture.
Cadre 4 is arguably the most beautiful planet in the Albion Prefecture. The large northern continent produces nearly a quarter of the food consumed in the Albion Prefecture. As for the southern continent, it has only one export: The native Shayle Plant. For reasons not fully understood, Cadre 4 is the only planet in the Entire Heragul Empire that can support this particular crop, but its salty tasting leaves are a popular sandwich topping for many Heragul. The loss of this planet may cause the first noticeable effect of the Surakari Invasion for much of the Heragul population.
Violence is the language of the Surakari. Fortunately, it is one in which we are also very fluent.
