//Holy fuck. I wrote all of the fluff for this when I was 14, so enter at your own risk. I'll rework the entire thing to be less edgy when I'm done with the crunch.
The star system where the open beta of Dark Tidings, as well as the release of the game, actually begins. There are __ planets in the system, most with moons, all of them are fully explorable. The listing is as follows.
The Star System:
Terra: The homeworld of the humans, this entire planet is one large city, with multiple "layers" of the city to explore. The lower you go, however, the more dangerous the city gets, all the way down to some creatures which should not have been forgotten.
Sithrugam: The Sithrugami homeworld. Most of this planet resembles a darkened Earth, with the sun blocked out by an eerie haze.
Kyurg: The Kyurgan homeworld. Much of this planet is swamp-like. With very little deviation from such landscape.
Kry'gos: The Vraekin homeworld. Most of the surface is covered in volcanic activity, and ash. The Vraekin mostly keep underground, or on the large number of floating islands that appear earth-like, and mostly uncorrupted. They'll fix that soon.
Yyth: The Yythrilm homeworld. A jungle planet with much of it ancient ruins. There are few cities, mostly because the Yythrilm's tribal nature.
Ryz: The Ra'zac homeworld. Most of the planet is water, however, since most of the Ra'zalga avoid water, the world is filled with flying cities all over the place, where there aren't floating islands.
I'lvec: A planet entirely controlled by Space Pirates, this world is a temperate planet with much to offer in the way of resources, if anyone can claim it.
Ulrym: A planet covered in ruins from a civilization long lost, this world is covered in danger from left to right and all in between.
