Nomads of Mercury

In the harsh extremes of Mercury, the nomadic peoples of the planet live on the edge. Their traditional migration patterns have made the terminator nomads uniquely suited to life after the Scorching of Mercury, but it is by no means an easy life.

Astroplankton

The microscopic base of the interplanetary food web.

Cosmic Bloom

Cosmic Bloom is caused by an astroplankton infestation onboard a spacecraft. The blooming algae releases dangerous toxins into the air which can cause severe symptoms up to and including death.

Palace of Delights

The Venusian Palace may lack the grand ornamentation of other palace, but its true ornament are its guests. The splay of light against the wall comes alive when the halls and rooms fill with people, dancing across fine silks and catching on sequins.

Titania

Titania became the Eternal Godqueen of Venus centuries ago. She appeared to be eternally young and nigh immortal, until the truth was exposed by teen magazine Beaux.

Secret

A reward for those who complete the Solaris Scavenger Hunt <3

Human

As a lunar people, humans fall under the political domain of planet superpowers. They sit in an interesting niche as the "majority minority" and live on the margins of society, oribital or otherwise.

Rhea

Rhea is the second largest moon of Saturn, and one of the possible origins of humans. It is known for being the site of the Heller Cave Paintings, the oldest known figurative art on the Sol System.

Mori

Paradisius

Paradisius is a ship condition caused by the paradise vine, a highly invasive plant native to Venus, and a natural terraformer. They break down the ship, leaving nothing but a verdant wreck.

Kara

Kara are less common than the Mori, their planetary cousins. They have natural armour in the form of thick ceratinous plates. The threats the ancient Kara evolved to survive no longer exist, but their existence is evident in Kara physiology.

Metamorphis

Appearance is a matter of choice for the Fei, not one of inheritance. Through metamorphis the Fei can change any aspect of their appearance. The process is slow and deliberate, and a great pride of the Venusian people.

Parachute Trees

The Parachute Trees are native to the Aer of Uranus, and thrive in the summer pole. They grow on the islands of Uranus. They have a very quick life cycle, growing to maturity in just a few years.

Crystal Infestation

When a crystal infestation takes root in a spacecraft, it is like the ship is possessed. Survivors describe animated cables strike out at crew, lights turned up blindingly bright, and a constant disharmonious chime. Thankfully, infestations are very rare.

Minos

Broad-shouldered and horned, the Minos strike an imposing frame. The Minos are nymphs native to Jupiter. Despite making up about the same amount of the population as the Daphnae, the Minos are barely represented in the Jovian Senate.

Handmaiden

Handmaidens are servants and close companions of the Godqueen of Venus. Since the time of Godqueen Arielle, Handmaidens have been expected to use their powers of metamorphis to transform into identical copies of the Godqueen.

Ganymede

The largest moon in the Solar System, Ganymede, is also one of the most populated. It is a cold moon, as much rock as it is ice. Permafrost makes agriculture hard on Ganymede, which to this day relies heavily on herds, fishing, and hunting.

Patrician

Patricians are full citizens of Jupiter, the only people allowed to hold certain public offices such as Senator or Govenor, as well as the only people allowed to own land on the planet of Jupiter. Patricanship is usually a matter of birth, inherited throu
