Cordyceptim are a parasitic, insectoid species known for their grotesque fusion of fungal and arthropod biology. They are born from mutated spore clusters and infiltrate hosts to feed on organic material. Cordyceptim will almost always travel in hordes, and spread rapidly throughout environments. They reside on toxic planets, mainly those in hot climates with close proximity to their star.

Thropoida are synthetic-organic hybrids. They mimic biological life while harboring a cold mechanical intelligence. Normally, Thropoida will operate in silence, embedding themselves unnoticed for long periods of time. The exact origins of Thropoida remain classified, though fragments recovered from derelict installations suggest they were part of an abandoned cybernetic lifeform initiative; Project THR-P0. Its possible that this was initiated by a rogue AI faction.

The Iris Ring is a large, orbital megastructure encircling planet Iris. It serves as a habitable zone outside of Iris' atmosphere, and was designed to support sprawling living sectors, research hubs, and defense arrays. The Ring doubles as a giant solar power generator, feeding energy to the enhabitants of Iris.

Iris is the central habitable planet within The Ecliptis Sector, known for its vibrant biosphere, azure oceans, and dense clouds. Often called the "Human's Cradle", it served as the original seat of civilisation before the slow construction of the Iris Ring. Though largely peaceful on the surface, the planet harbors ruins, unexplored biomes, and signs of pre-CID civilisations buried beneath tectonic layers. Iris remains a symbol of stability and mystery thanks to its dense megacities and polar research colonies.

Selene is a pale, silent world shrouded in perpetual twilight. The planet orbits just beyond Iris, locked in a steady gravitational pull. Once considered uninhabitable, Selene revealed ancient subterranean complexes and fossilised megafauna beheath its frosted crust, hinting at a forgotten biosphere. The planet experiences frequent seismic activity and surface eruptions of volatile cryovolcanic materials, posing constant danger to any stationed personnel.

Themis is a silicate-rich terrestrial planet marked by deep tectonic rifts and towering crystal plateaus. Despite the planets stunning looks, its surface constantly shifts and ruptures due to violent seismic activity and interal pressure fluxes. CID designates Themis as a restricted excavation zone, citing frequent geological instabilities and unconfirmed reports of anomalous energy beneath its crust. Despite the risks, frequent expeditions continue.

Cyclops is a marginally habitable planet dominated by a single massive supercontinent that spans over 70% of it surface. Its given the unique name due to the solitary, planet-wide storm system known as "The Eye". Despite the giant storm, Cyclops supports a breathable atmosphere, diverse biospheres, and zone stabiity. The storm can change course unexpectedly, swallowing entire settlements.
