Conconi is one of 10 completely colonized worlds/moons in the Eurydian Republic. While there are numerous stations and bases located throughout the galaxy, there are only 10 planets. This world is the Republic's premier ship building facility. Over 80% of the Royal Navy and Imperial Guard assets are constructed at Conconi.
The parts and various other materials are produced on the planet, and then shipped up to the Orbital Assembly Facility(OAF) where the ships are constructed. This shipyard is immense, being over 500 km in length. While it may be large, its mass is only 1/6 that of our normal space station; the shipyard is mostly girder framework and open areas for equipment and parts. There are over 45 bays for capital ship construction, and 80 bays for smaller ship construction. With the OAF completed, it has cut ship construction time by half, and cut costs by over 25 percent (Streamlined construction, everything built in one place.) While this facility was expensive to construct, and poured into the coffers of the Eurydian budget even more, in the long run we will save money as more ships are built at a lesser cost.
Eurydice- 3.75 billion. Eurydice is one of six planets in 47 Ursae Majoris --Rigard. It is the third planet, and the second smallest. It's population is large for the planets size, and Eurydians are continuing to leave and head for the colonies to keep overpopulation on Eurydice from becoming a problem. The devensive shield surrounding Eurydice is Asgard. It was built and completed over 200 years ago as a means to protect Eurydice against space-born attacks. The energy shield is controlled by two command stations, one on the planet itself and the other in orbit. Above Asgard is the Heimdall Orbital Reactionary Defense System (HORDS). It is made up of 500 Heimdall defense platforms. Eurydice is well defended.
Moons: 2. Tellus

Conconi- 2 billion. The blue areas are major cities as well as highly industrialized areas. You can see the OAF on the left side of the moon. Throughout most of the Eurydian Republic's history, Conconi has remained firm allies with Eurydice itself. While some of the other colonies try and rebel against the emperor, Conconi is grateful to be part of the Republic.

Corsica- 1.5 billion. The second largest colony, Corsica is a firmly established power within the Republic. Located within the Galoghnier System, she has its fair share of problems. Of all the colonies within the Republic, Corsica has the highest level of seperatists. Corsica is a powerful world that wants to be on its own, much to the disdain of most other colonies.
Moons: 3. Evander, Nisus, Camilla

Intari- 1 billion. Intari is also in the Galoghnier SystemCorsica and Intari go hand in hand. Where one moves, the other always follows. They are strong allies within the Magistrates Council. Together they form a union that can rival the emperor.
Moons: 13. Pallus, Admetus, Atlanta, Pandora, Prometheus, Procris, Sibyl, Castor, Pollux, Albracca, Narcissus, Echo

Geneva- 590 million. After the Plague of 2265 --which wiped out most of the population-- Geneva flourished. Rich mineral deposits and cash incentives from the Eurydian government to come to Geneva caused the population to explode over the last 20 years. While her sister planets within Galoghnier, Corsica and Intari, remain seperatist worlds, Geneva shares no such sentiment. While the other colonies abandoned the world during the plague, Eurydian supply ships and scientists rushed to save the population. While over forty percent of Geneva's population perished, many more lives would have been lost without Eurydice's intervention. Geneva owes Eurydice their very existence as a colony.

Chaelon- 77 million. A new colony located in the Diomedes System. The frontier of the Eurydian Republic, Chaelon (and the sister planet, Chyron) remain a harsh environment to live in. Still, those who come to the planet believe they are forging a new age for the Republic.
Chyron- 218 million. Like Chaelon, Chyron is new to the Eurydian Republic. There is a wealth of resources on Chyron, so it is believed that very soon Chyron's population will boom.
Oberon- 33 million. The Eurydian Republic's established prison world, Oberon is a desert planet in the Draco System, barely habitable. The rich mineral deposits are mined by the enslaved prisoners. Oberon is a very harsh environment. The Entire Draco System is under Eurydian control, and in seventy years only one man has ever escaped Oberon's prisons.
Cyprus and Miranda- 36 million and 22 million. These two moons orbit a gas giant in the Chronus System. They are another pair of frontier worlds under Eurydian control.
