The worlds of the Vland system orbit around Urakkalan, a yellow-white main sequence star both hotter and brighter then Sol.
- It is the home system of the branch of Humaniti known as the Vilani.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Primary Star[edit]
The Vland system has a solitary primary star named Urakkalan.
- It is a white main sequence.
Vland has a solitary primary star. Urakkalan

The Inner System[edit]
The inner system contains two intensely hot worlds and a planetoid belt:
- They receive very high levels of stellar energy.
Sagadiris the system's innermost world and experiences scorching temperatures.
- It is rarely visited.
Umiggash, and Umiggahs's large moon Dinnika remain undeveloped balls of rock.
- Umiggash and Dinnika are somewhat unusual, as their similarity in size makes them a double-planet system.
- These worlds are rarely visited, being of interest mainly to scientists.
The Khamiur Belt lies just starward of the habitable zone.
- The belt's resources were mostly mined out by the start of the Interstellar Wars. Prospecting efforts continue, however, in a search for other, less valuable deposits.
The Habitable Zone[edit]
Vland, the mainworld of the system, and its three moons orbit within the star's habitable zone:
Vland's Moons[edit]
Vland has three natural satellites; innermost Irukka, well-colonized Gashema, and large, distant Kalaguur. The combined illumination provided by these three moons make dark nights virtually unknown. When all three moons are full, the night-time light level makes outdoor reading possible without artificial aid.
- Irukka ia barren ball of rock orbiting roughly 170,000 km from Vland. A small corporate mining and fueling station is maintained here, along with a government-operated weather surveillance post. The latter installation coordinates information from thousands of weather satellites circling Vland in geostationary orbits.
- Gashema is marginally habitable with its thin atmosphere and significant amount of free water. Orbiting Vland at a distance 550,000 km, Gashema supports a thriving colony, a psychohistorical research station, and a military base - The operational headquarters of Vland's COACC.
- Kalaquur is a large satellite, nearly large enough to be a twin planet. A distant 720,000 km from Vland, Kalaquur is seldom visited. Its atmosphere - rich with sulfur compounds - is poisonous, and the only local settlement is a small corporate mining colony.
The Outer System[edit]
The outer system contains three frigidly cold worlds:
Lirshala is a barren, uninhabited world.
- Lishala's small moon, Aga, is equally barren.
Bikamakku is the next world out from Lirshala and is noteworthy only for its thin atmosphere and sizable ice caps.
- Bikamakhu has one satellite, Kaniirer, an irregular body pockmarked with craters.
Luukad is the outermost world in the Vland system. Beneath its dense methane atmosphere lie the majority of in-system naval facilities, including a capable shipyard.
- Despite Luukad's hostile environment, over three million people make their homes there.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
System Timeline[edit]
Major events that have affected this system and the wider region that it lies within:
- -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims and settles worlds across the region.
- -2404 to -2215: the Interstellar Wars.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man administers the worlds of the region.
- -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
- The Year 0: the Third Imperium is founded.
- 300-420: the First Survey charts the system.
- 604 to 622: the Imperial Civil War. The region suffers disruption and widespread economic issues.
- 624: the Express Boat Network is established, facilitating communications, trade, and economic growth within the area.
- 995-1065: the Second Survey charts the system.
- 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the system becomes widely available.
