GALOGRAPHICS


THE AANN EMPIRE :

The AAnn Empire occupies a portion of the Galaxy proximate to the Commonwealth, in the Orion Arm. Approximately 1600 x 700 parsecs in size, it is divided into at least 14 Quadrants, and contains a minimum of 32 inhabited systems.



Blasusarr (N Class I)
Homeworld of the AAnn race; largely desert. Elaborate irrigation systems carry water from rugged high plateaus where most rain falls. Also known as the Imperial Home World. Capitol city is Krrassin. Protected by a highly efficient detection and defense network. Exceptionally large surface-to-space shuttles operate here.

Fabled world with high, pink skies. Oceans average 9% alcohol. Rarely visited, due to unexplained spacetime distortions that cause it to appear only occasionally at the listed coordinates. Located along inner edge of the Orion Arm.

Vom's last world

Before the Vom's arrival, circa 501,000 B.C., this planet apparnetly had a moderately successful ecosystem with typical terrestrial forms.


THE HUMANX COMMONWEALTH :
