Twin Hearts Nebula

The Twin Hearts Nebula consists of two red nebulae close enough to one another to be grouped as one. It is filled with young stars in early formation and is relatively well developed with many habitable planets. There are two main clusters, Major Heart and Minor Heart.

The nebula's name was bestowed by the Vaikan - naming the nebula after the fact that a Vaikan has two hearts. Given that the nebula is the physical location of the Vaikan homeworld coupled with the fact that Vaikan hearts are associated with lifeblood and the soul, in many ways, the Twin Hearts Nebula is considered both the literal and metaphorical heart of Vaikan civilization.

Ostence

Main article: Ostence system

Ostence is a Class M red dwarf star in Minor Heart. It is an energetic young star which regularly outputs solar flares. It also has an unusually high metallicity resulting in mineral rich planets orbiting at close distances.

Slorthan

Main article: Slorthan system

Slorthan is a Class G star in the Minor Heart.

Raith

Main article: Raith system

Raith is a star in the Minor Heart. The star has rather low metallicity and is still rather early in formation, but nonetheless evolved complex life forms.

Envin

Main article: Envin system

The Envin system is a binary star system in the Minor Heart. The two planets in the system orbit Envin A, the Class F Star. The Class M Star, Envin B, orbits at the far edge of the system.

Selsent

Main article: Selsent system

The Selsent system is a binary system with two Class K stars.

Roszon

Main article: Roszon system

Roszon is a red dwarf system and a major capital area of the Karalian Empire. It was chosen for its ideal resource pool, and has since exploded in population, turning into a major capital system.

Aldenari

Main article: Aldenari system
