*Note - Though this probe has information on the sethesh System, this information is purely for social progress summing up, co-ordinates of the system have not been given.

*Note - Probe will encrypt and return your message to the Council on a secret frequency should you wish to respond.

Sethian Solar Goverment:

Govermental Type: Corporate Council
Population at time of Census: 1.7 Billion
Capital: Seleucia, Sethesh
Currency: Sethet

History & General Information: Sethesh is the capital and home world of the Sethian Solar Government, various technological advances in the past led to the formation of the Corporate council, national governments still exist but the corporations hold the real power economically and militarily. Though members of the council are often in competition, they band together on issues of military, general economic and social interest. This government has been highly effective at utilising the resources of the Sethesh system and has produce a high level of Technological competition and the council is in the process of eliminating the national Entities remaining. Though the Council is held by the large corporations, it is a separate entity, acting much as a republic would.

A large portion of Sethian Food and Mineral Needs are Supplied from its off world colonies, ran by the various corporations, under the jurisdiction of the council. The council withholds all rights to military equipments and contracts private companies to develop its weaponry and build its ships, and maintains a large force for defence and policing. Many years back, an unknown race attack Sethesh in attempt to strip it of its resources, these aggressors where beaten back, and the orbital stations constructed, this has been sethesh's only contact with another race to date, and new contacts can expect to be treated with a level of hostillity if they try to approach Sethian Territory, Sethesh Maintains a Very Large military just incase the unknowns return. Sethesh has not explored other stars as there has not yet been economic need.

Along with this Message you will find information on the Sethesh System. (OOC: i got allittle bored :P)

OOC: yay for microsoft paint :D

Note: all habitated planets have Supergun Defensive platforms, offcourse the defense level varies with population and importance. The Gas Giants Moons have no platforms, but more powerfull planet based railguns to launch projectiles into orbit, this is because its difficult to prevent such platforms from getting caught in the orbit of their mother planets.

Note: Most power is Generated by Nuclear or Solar Power plants, current technology level is as you might imagine humanity in 150 Years... Depending on how imaginative you are... im not very, so my growth might be stunted :D Or i suppose Halo-ish Tech with a few variations.


1st Planet - Rhonkar - Red

Day = 28 Hours
Year = 100 Days
Mass = 3.202×10'24 kg (0.050 Earths, Roughly)
Gravity = 3.500 m/s² (0.35 Gee)
Escape velocity = 4.300 km/s
Avg. Surface temp = 700K Day, 100K Night
Atmosphere = Potassium 43%, Sodium 24%, Atomic Oxygen 11%, Other 22%
Atmospheric Pressure = Trace.
Population = 50,000-100,000

Habitation & History: Very few people live on Rhonkar, Miners mostly in Underground installations. Little documented history exists as Rhonkar was developed entirely by Corporations seeking its minerals. Drilling to Produce the initial underground Installations had to be done by night, as it was too hot during the day for any machinery to work, let alone Sethian Workers(in habitat Suits off course), this slowed down any settlement building substantially. There have only been Four People ever Born on Rhonkar, as workers rarely ever spend more then 5 months on planet. There is some talk of Permanent Settlements being developed in the Sethian Council Chambers, but these are at this time just talk.

2nd Planet - God's Lake - Green

Day = 30 Hours
Year = 300 Days
Mass = 4.6685×10'24 kg (0.8 Earths, roughly)
Gravity = 8.87 m/s2
Escape velocity = 10.36 km/s
Avg. Surface temp = Ranges from 200K to 350K
Atmosphere = Neon 30%, Oxygen 22%, Nitrogen 21%, Other 27%
Atmospheric Pressure = 77.1 kPA
Population = 33 Million

Habitation & History: When Early Sethian space farers flew threw the great Asteroid field, God's Lake was discovered, receiving an almost constant bombardment from asteroids, the pilots drew the comparison to skimming pebbles on lakes back at home, the blue shades in the atmosphere just enforced this comparison. This bombardment it seemed however only occurred 60 Days of the planets 300 Day year, the atmosphere is only slightly toxic to sethians so whilst on the surface they use air filters, and the temperature is fairly pleasant away from the equator. Permanent Habitation centres are Subterranean to escape the 60 Day asteroid bombardment and allow a break from the air filters - and the surface is Mined and Farmed where possible the other 240 Days using cheap prefab habitat domes, these are often taken down underground shortly before the asteroid bombardment occurs, and put back up immediately after it finishes. The economy is based entirely around Agriculture and mining, and despite the 60 Day break in almost all economic activity, it proves to be one of sethesh's most productive colonies.

3rd Planet - Sethesh - Light Blue

Day = 25 Hours
Year = 370 Days
Mass = 6.0736×10'24 (One Earth and a bit...)
Gravity = 9.980 m/s² (bout 1 Gee)
Escape velocity = 11.186 km/s
Avg. Surface temp = Ranges from 180K at the Poles to 310K near the Equator
Atmosphere = nitrogen 74%, oxygen 24%, Other 2%
Atmospheric Pressure = 101 kPA
Population = 1.2 Billion

Habitation & History: Long before we had unlocked some of the secret's of space travel, Sethesh consisted of many governments in opposition, several technological changes such as the internet led to increased unity and information exchange, eventually resources where pulled and exploration ships built. Later Colonies, and soon Sethesh was at the centre of a System wide government. Its population is based mainly in Hundreds of Cities ranging from populations of 50,000 to 20 Million. Its economy is Mainly Service and Industry based, but mining, Agriculture take roughly 5% of the workforce. Its surface is roughly 70% covered by water and it is teeming with life. It is the only place in the Solar System Multi-cellular Organisms developed and most Sethian food comes from farming or the oceans. The planet is Defended by some Very Many Super Rail gun Orbital Platforms for destroying Enemy Capital Ships, these where built after a long war with an unknown race some 30 Years ago.

:- Moon - Daglash

Mass = 7.047 600×10'22 kg (Bout 0.01 Earths)
Gravity = 1.622 m/s2 (0.1654 gee)
Population = 55 Million

Habitation: Most of the Large Solar Corporations have there HQs on Daglash, as such its population either work on Large Farms producing food for the population down on Sethesh, or work in Industry and Services. It has Seven Cities, made from Several Large Habitat Domes, connected by a system of Trains. Farms in Habitat Domes exist scattered across the surface.

4th Planet - Miritar - Purple

Day = 20 Hours
Year = 420 Days
Mass = 6.2185×10'23 kg (0.1 Earths)
Gravity = 9.980 m/s² (bout 1 Gee)
Escape velocity = 5.027 km/s
Avg. Surface temp = 130K - 293K
Atmosphere = 95% Carbon Dioxide, 4% Oxygen, 1% Other
Atmospheric Pressure = 1.7 kPA
Population = 104 Million

Habitation & History: Miritar is a major industrial centre, Some 25% of the population is devoted to Mining, the Rest is industrial or a few services. The planet is mineral rich, and has Several Habitat Domes built across the surface. The Occasional asteroid hits near the polls but there is little habitation due to the cold. Large Solar Panels exist across portions of land outside the cities supply power to meet the heating and power demands of the Habitat Domes.

Great Inner Asteroid Belt

Population = 12 Million

Habitation: Large Asteroids are Mined for Minerals, and small habitats are built to accommodate these operations, occasionally a Habitat will need to be evacuated on account of collision possibilities. - Scattered automated defensive installations and Sensor Stations exist in the Inner Belt.

5th Planet - Carblar - Orange

Year = 700 Days
Mass = 5.8846×10'26 kg (bout 97 Earths)
Gravity = 8.96 m/s2
Escape velocity = 35.49 km/s
Avg. Cloud Top Temp.= 100K
Atmosphere = 92% Hydrogen, 5% Helium, 3% Other
Atmospheric Pressure = 140 kPA
Population = 0 (Gas Giant)
Moons: 4 Habited, 10 Uninhabitable
Moons Population: 200 million

Habitation & History: The Moons of Carblar are Major Industrial and Urban centres Rivalling Daglash in there Development. Many of the Military and Merchant fleets Ships are produced here, and much of Sethian Mineral Wealth is Sourced from these mines. Though habitation is fairly recent, Contraceptive ban's and Subsidised Immigration have led to high population, economically powerful colonies.


6th Planet - Dragvan - Blue

Year = 900 Days
Mass = 6.8846×10'26 kg (bout 130 Earths)
Gravity = 12.67 m/s2
Escape velocity = 40.41 km/s
Avg. Cloud Top Temp.= 93K
Atmosphere = Hydrogen 84%, Helium 14%, Water Vapour 2%, Other Trace.
Atmospheric Pressure = 70 kPA
Population = 0 (Gas Giant)
Moons: 6 Habited, 12 Uninhabitable
Moons Population: 85 Million

Habitation & history: Dragvans moons have a long way to go before they are developed to the lever of Carblar's, one of the moons atmosphere is breathable, and its surface very rich, micro organism exist on this moon separate from Sethian wildlife, which led to a devasting plague when planetary development began. Now that such issues are other, the moon now produces 1/8 Of Sethian Food Requirements. The other moons are mining colonies, some gas collection companies have began skimming Dragvan's Atmosphere for bulk hydrogen or rarer gases.

Outer Asteroid Belt

No Sanctioned Habitation, Some Military listening posts Exist.

OOC: w00t finished...muahaha.
