The primary of the [[Terra (system)|Terra system]] is [[Sol (star)|Sol]], an ordinary yellow main sequence [[star]]. It has a luminosity of 1 Sol, a mass of 1 Sol, and a diameter of 1.391 million km. [[Sol (star)|Sol]] retains a family of four inner rocky worlds, a stony [[planetoid belt]], four outer [[gas giant]] worlds, and an outer ring of icy worldlets and debris:

The [[system]] has been settled for thousands of years and is dotted with sophont-made construction: numerous satellites, space stations, and related objects.
 
 
 
=== Mainworld Data ===
 
''Luna'' is the satellite or moon of the system's [[mainworld]].
 
 
 
==== Mainworld Geography & Topography ====
 
''Luna'', for the most part, is a featureless vacuum waste.
 
 
 
=== Native Lifeforms ===
 
''Luna'' is believed to be a lifeless ball of rock with no native [[lifeform]]s.
 
 
 
== History & Background (Dossier) ==
 
'''Luna''' is the only moon of [[Terra (SR 1827) (world)|Terra]], the mainworld of the [[Terra (system)|Terran system]] in [[Sol Subsector]] of the [[Solomani Rim Sector|Solomani Rim]].
 
 
 
=== Imperial High / Landed Nobility ===
 
Only the [[mainworld]] of a [[system]] possesses an officially appointed or ''landed'' [[Imperial Noble]].
 
* The ''landed'' noble of this system is located at the [[mainworld]] on [[Terra]].
 
 
 
=== World Starport ===
 
{{Starport|name= Luna|Starport=F}}
 
* Luna’s [[Copernicus Down]] Spaceport handles traffic control for Terra.
 
* Ship construction is no longer a significant industry.
 
 
 
=== World Technology Level ===
 
{{WorldTech|name= Luna|WorldTech=F}}
 
 
 
=== World Government ===
 
{{WorldGov|name= Luna|Government=6}}
 
* Luna is the second-most important world in the system and has a political status equivalent to a continent.
 
* Like Terra it is under {{Imperial}} military rule -- although a native bureaucracy oversees almost all operations of government except legislation and security.
 
* Luna’s population has always had a democratic bent and support for the more extreme elements of the [[Solomani Party]] was low.
 
 
 
==== World Military ====
 
Imperial Naval Base at [[Theophilus]].
 
 
 
=== World Economy ===
 
Today’s lunar economy is based around mining, ore processing and scientific research.
 
{{World summary comment|trade=Rs}}
 
 
 
==== Trade Data ====
 
No information yet available.
 
 
 
=== World Demographics ===
 
Luna’s eight million people are concentrated in three population centers – Copernicus, Archimedes and Plato.
 
* Each of these includes domed and underground cities linked by monorails and gravitic highways.
 
* Another 80,000 people live and work in the mines at [[Sinus Iridium]] and the [[Montes Apenninus]], the radio observatory [[Farside Station]], the Imperial research laboratory at [[Clavius]], and the Imperial Naval Base at [[Theophilus]].
 
 
 
====Settlements Listing====
 
[[Luna (world)|Luna]] has a political status equivalent to one of Terra's continents. 
 
* '''''Archimedes Settlement''''':  Domed lunar city.  Archimedes is Luna's oldest settlement and main mining and industrial center. 
 
: ''[[Archimedes Station]]'': ''No information currently available.''
 
* '''''Copernicus Settlement''''':    Domed lunar city.  Copernicus is the seat of government on Luna, and the center of travel and trade. 
 
**''Copernicus Down Spaceport'' handles traffic control for Terra.  Since the Solomani Rim War, more than half of the terminals, bays, and warehouse facilities of the spaceport lie unused and in vacuum. 
 
**[[Vilani]] [[megacorporation]] [[Zirunkariish]] maintains extensive offices, owing to the availability of real estate within the domed lunar city of Copernicus Settlement.  [[Zirunkariish]] offices here include a major trading clearinghouse, and both the [[Solomani Rim Sector]] and [[Sol Subsector]] headquarters offices. 
 
** [[Trans Galactic Starlines]], in partnership with [[Vilani]] [[megacorporation]] [[Zirunkariish]] have set-up alternate starports for ease of access and use with connecting in-system service provided to passengers.  For the [[Terra (world)|Terra]] system, [[Luna (world)|Luna]], specifically the Copernicus Down Spaceport, is used.  This alternate starport has a [[Brubek's]] gastropub and a [[Medel's Mega Mart]].   
 
* '''''Plato Settlement''''':    Domed lunar city. Plato is an academic and cultural center, and the location of the '''University of Luna''' which is famous for work in high-energy physics and astronomy.
 
* '''''Clavius''''': Clavius crater is the site of a high-technology industrial park producing electronic and gravitic components, vacuum-process equipment, and thin-film devices.  It is currently operated by [[GSbAG]]. 
 
: ''Clavius Particle Research Complex'' is run jointly by the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[Naasirka]].  Current research is highly classified. 
 
* '''''Farside Research Station''''': Farside Station is famous for work in cosmic ray research and radio-astronomy. It is operated as a branch of the University of Luna, and its vast distributed arrays cover cover thousands of square kilometers on the lunar hemisphere facing away from Terra.  Development and travel on the far side of Luna is restricted in order to avoid interfering with the institute's research programs. 
 
* '''''Montes Appeninus Mining Station''''':  ''No information currently available.''
 
* '''''Sinus Iridium Mining Station''''':  ''No information currently available.''
 
* '''''Theophilus Naval Base''''': Theophilus Crater is the location of ''Imperial Navy Base Luna''. 
 
* '''''Tycho Crater''''': ''No information currently available.''
 
 
 
=== World Culture ===
 
No information yet available.
 
 
 
=== Historical Data ===
 
* Luna was originally a colony of the old United States but unified as a single independent nation in [[-2433]].
 
* Luna was a scientific and industrial center used for astronomical research, mining and spacecraft design and manufacture.
 
* Luna became a major [[Terran Confederation]] military shipyard in the [[Interstellar Wars]] and its importance as a shipyard was revived during the [[Long Night]], when Luna built first the armed merchant cruisers of the [[Terran Mercantile Community]] and then the warships of the [[Old Earth Union]].
 
* Luna lost some ground during the early {{Imperial}} era but regained it under the [[Solomani Confederation]], which established major military and research facilities on the moon.
 
* During the [[Solomani Rim War]] the space around Luna was the scene of fierce battles between Confederation and Imperial Naval forces in the days before the assault on Terra.
