Notes

Planet Name: Cordia II
Location: Cordia System
Description: A small lifeless rock with an extremely thin nitrogen atmosphere. The planet is used as a weapons testing site, and its surface is pitted with craters.

Planet Name: Lyca III (nicknamed "Jump")
Location: Lyca System
Description: A small planet about the size of Earth's moon. Home to the "Jumptown" low-gravity amusement park.

Planet Name: Catullus
Location: Uhrzar System
Description: A small planet with low gravity, famous for its glass volcanoes.

Planet Name: Naraka
Location: Devolin System
Description: A habitable dwarf planet famous for its forests of luminescent mushrooms.

Planet Name: Holiday
Location: Ivaldi System
Description: A large Earth-like planet with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. A long, narrow continent follows the line of the equator, stretching half way around the planet. There are several mines scattered around the planet, and number of small settlements all centered around the mining industry.

Planet Name: Monarch
Location: Ivaldi System
Description: A large Earth-like planet with an oxygen rich atmosphere. One large continent stretches from the north pole to the south pole. Ecosystems range from tropical rain forest to arid grassland and frozen tundra. A large island just to the east of this super-continent is home to a species of intelligent but primitive giraffe-like creatures.

Planet Name: Sheppard
Location: Griswald System
Description: A planet curiously similar to Earth but with no native lifeforms. The atmosphere is breathable, but barely so; oxygen levels are at the absolute minimum required for human respiration. While there is less oxygen here than on Earth, there is still more than would be expected of a lifeless, primordial world. This has led some to speculate that there may once have been simple microbial lifeforms present, converting CO2 to oxygen, but that this life may have been wiped out by some unknown sequence of events. Humans have begun terraforming the planet by introducing simple lifeforms from Earth. In the area surrounding the main terraforming facility, some terrestrial plants have also been introduced.

Planet Name: Liana
Location: Gorganth System
Description: A small rocky planet in the Lagrange point of a gas giant. The planet has no atmosphere, but incredibly there is life here, living in large underground caverns filled with a mixture of atmospheric gasses.

Planet Name: Augustine
Location: Imdali System
Description: An Earth-like planet with several large landmasses concentrated around the planet's poles. The atmosphere is toxic to humans due to high levels of CO2.

Planet Name: Avalon
Location: Arthurian System
Description: A small rocky planet in the Lagrange point of a gas giant. There are large underground reservoirs of liquid water, heated by geothermal vents. Occasionally this water erupts onto the surface and freezes in the cold vacuum, covering the planet with tiny ice crystals. Although there is potential for life in these sub-surface seas, none exists.

Planet Name: Excalibur
Location: Arthurian System
Description: An enormous gas giant at the outer edge of its star's habitable zone. It supports a system of small to medium-sized moons. One of the moons has a breathable nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere but is not considered habitable due to extremes of temperature.

Outer-Space Alien Directions

Imagine an outer-space alien landed at your school. The creature has never before been to Earth. Explain to it-that is, write in extremely meticulous (precise, careful) detail-how exactly to travel from your school to your home.
