Coalition Holdings

The Galactic Coalition is a massive, expansive empire with multiple systems under its control. While originally from the Sol system, the human species quickly spread out to nearby stars such as Alpha Centauri or Epsilon Eridani, and these systems were one of the first colonized by the human species. Now, the Coalition controls a large swathe of space, containing a myriad of colonies, stations, naval yards, and shipbuilding facilities. While not as large as it used to be before the Succession War, the Coalition is still one of the largest empires in the galaxy - but the size of their territory makes effectively policing it difficult, and the Coalition's military is a deep expense as a result.

Alpha Centauri

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to Sol and is the home of the first extrasolar colony the human race established. It is a star system with three stars - Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman and Proxima Centauri. There are seven planetary bodies in orbit around the three stars, with Proxima Centauri b, now known as New Terra, as a key planet in the Coalition's core worlds. Outside of Sol, Alpha Centauri has seen the most development in human space, having become something of a bustling metropolis itself. Multiple space stations and trading hubs were constructed in Alpha Centauri, and it is a favorite tourist destination due to its history as 'humanity's first triumph' in extrasolar colonization.

Toliman Station

So named for the second of Alpha Centauri's three moons, Toliman Station is a residential station home to a significant population of 2.3 billion individuals. It is one of the largest residential stations in human space; it has a massive trading hub filled with both exotic and local goods, several apartment blocks of capsules stacked on top of each other, and a portion of the station has been rented to Toliman Pharma, a local megacorporation who headquarters themselves within the station. Toliman Pharma has invested heavily in the development of Toliman Station, leading to accusations of corruption by some. Nevertheless, it is known as an affordable and pleasant place to live, free from the expenses of homes on Earth or New Terra. Many of the people who live on Toliman Station work locally in Alpha Centauri, and its population mainly consists of blue collar workers.

New Terra

Originally known as Proxima Centauri b, it was discovered early in the 21st century by humanity and was theorized to be within the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri's stars. When humanity first sent deep space probes to the system, this hunch was proven to be correct. A large portion of New Terra's surface is home to calm, placid waters, and it is considered by some to be a tropical paradise. Towering hotels, residential skyscrapers and expansive vacation homes claim the majority of beachfront property, with a booming tourism industry centered around these unpolluted oceans and picturesque beaches. Proxima Centauri b earned its name as New Terra due to the Earth-like environment found on the planet; thick humid jungles make up a good percentage of inland territory, with the beaches overtaken by human civilization. The rich and famous are known to make regular trips to the planet, and it has a growing modeling and fashion scene where many famous brands headquarter themselves on New Terra.

Luna II

In keeping with the perhaps unoriginal naming scheme for New Terra, Luna II is the planet's only natural satellite - though it is much smaller than the moon it gets its namesake from. It is, however, home to several large cities, each connected to the other with atmospherically-sealed underground subway trains. Luna II is known as the destination for night life, clubbing, and partying, with many cities investing heavily in and marketing their Red Light districts to entice tourists on New Terra to visit the moon. Some tours offered by companies on New Terra make Luna II a destination for this purpose, and while the rich and famous model and buy exorbitantly expensive fashions on New Terra by day, at night they can be found drinking, partying, and doing drugs in the back rooms of many of Luna II's famous nightclubs.

Urumat

As a world outside of Alpha Centauri's habitable zone, Urumat has no atmosphere and its surface is inhospitable to life. However, it has become an important mineral world for the Coalition, as its rich deposits of ore and heavy metals has made it the prime focus of many mining megacorporations who continuously fight over territory rights to this day. There are no colonies on the surface of the planet; rather, the different mining corps have a variety of orbital platforms and stations to house, supply, and equip their dig teams. An abundance of metals like iron and copper have resulted in Urumat's exports making their way all over Coalition space, from military installations to civilian construction projects and even privately owned stations. Urumat is now filled with a network of caves and tunnels from the rampant drilling, and it plays an important part in the economy of Alpha Centauri.

Morrigan's Labyrinth

At the edge of Alpha Centauri are three circumstellar discs, one for each of the three planets. The density of these celestial bodies make navigating the stretch a nightmare; initial attempts to colonize Alpha Centauri were inhibited by this, as these small particulates would easily damage the hull and shielding of approaching vessels. Coalition expedition Captain Morrigan Allister was the first to successfully navigate the three discs, not once, not twice, but three times, and his navigation data is still used by vessels trying to make the journey today. Thus, Morrigan's Labyrinth earned its name. The ease of travel in and out of the system owes its history to this man, as all other attempts to look for new paths have resulted in failure.
