Planets

New Venus is a former Earth colony overrun by Banshees. Most men abandoned the colony, but the women stayed and fought, creating an Amazon-like matriarchy. Jojo Thorsen, who originates from New Venus, harbors a deep hatred for Banshees. Skaraab is a desolate planet where the suns burn away all surface life in one day; its aggressive vegetation regrows overnight and consumes animal tissue. Skaraab also contains an ancient Graaka burial temple. Earth is home to the Space Rangers Corps and its Central Command, located several weeks at lightspeed from Fort Hope. Avalon, where Fort Hope is located, resembles the Painted Desert of the American southwest. Catraz is a penal colony where the galaxy's worst criminals are dumped with no guards and no means of escape; anarchy rules, and an inmate named Rec leads most factions. The name derives from Alcatraz Island. Vee'Lon Prime is a wet, sandy, tropical planet home to the reptilian Vee'Lons.
