WIP
The GOK Alliance consisted of 53 star systems, 20 of which had habitable worlds in their orbit. Outside of the three cradles of life, Galdor, Okinos, and Kalar, no planet possessed intelligent life, only one planet, Umogvi V, has been found to possess sapient lifeforms. At the time of discovery, those planets which were M-Class had, at most, a level of biocomplexity that resembled Earth's late Paleozoic era. Within listed systems, all Planets of the Cradle System will be listed, but for all other systems, only K or M-Class planets and the Gas Giants which host habitated moons will be listed. All habitated systems contain an asteroid belt between their rocky inner planets and their outer gas giants. Stars without settlements can be found listed at the end of each section. (Each system is named after its Star)
Enrys
The Galdori Home-system. The Enrys System has four rocky planets, four gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. Two planets other than Galdor are home to notable settlements, Anet and Pyr.
Enrys I, Tero - A small rocky planet which is tidally locked.
Enrys II, Anet - A small K-Class planet with a thick atmosphere. Settlers, mostly Raka and Arwan, live on blimp-like domed structures (floating communities) in the atmosphere, where the sunlight can get through but the cloud-cover is too thick to see the stars or the planet's three moons, Meso, Epi, and Bathy. The atmosphere of Anet is not as toxic as that of Venus, and terraforming efforts are being made to thin out the atmosphere and allow migration to the surface.
Enrys III, Galdor - The Galdori Cradle. M-Class with an Earth-like climate. Radius is 97% of Earth's, gravity is 113% of Earth's, and atmospheric density is 105% of Earth's. Orbital period is 330 Earth days and local day is 20 Earth hours, meaning a local year is equal to 392 local days. Galdor has an axial tilt slightly greater than Earth at 25.3 degrees, resulting in slightly more extreme seasons. Has two moons, Lune and Valdis.
Enrys IV, Pyr - A huge K-Class planet which originally had a thin atmosphere and a dusty red surface but has been made more habitable through terraforming. Mostly settled by Hatriku. Has one small moon, Harak.
Enrys V, Ilos - The first gas giant in the Enrys System, it has a large ring system and many moons, and has more mass than Jupiter. Its clouds are a mixture of pinks, whites, and oranges.
Enrys VI, Tenep - While less than half the mass of Ilos, Tenep makes up for that difference with its vibrant atmosphere and equally impressive rings.
Enrys VII, Glasi - An ice giant, Glasi has a retrograde spin and a small ring system.
Enrys VIII, Brig - Brig has no impressive ring system, but it is notable in that it has an axial tilt near 90 degrees.
Enrys IX, Drac - The first dwarf planet identified by Astronomers. Has no close neighbours.
Bamu
The Bamu System has four rocky planets and four gas giants. One planet, Sidig, and one moon, Oba, are home to notable settlements.
Bamu II, Mupko - A small, K-class planet with a thick, toxic atmosphere. Terraforming may be possible, but has not been attempted. There is a small mining group who mine resources underground, but they use Teleportation technology to live on Sidig and 'commute' to their job sites weekly.
Bamu III, Sidig - An Earth-sized planet with a strong magnetic field and dense atmosphere but no native life other than a small number of micro-organisms. It was easily settled as the first interstellar colony of Galdor. Officially classified as K-Class, but is applying for re-classification due to successful terraforming efforts.
Bamu VI, Tipo - Smaller than Jupiter, Tipo is a gas giant whose main claim to fame is its closest moon, Oba. It has a bright atmosphere that reflects enough light onto Oba to support the forested moon and its inhabitants. It is the second gas giant in the system.
Tipo 1, Oba - An M-Class moon, it was mainly settled by Raka due to most of its surface being covered in native plants that resembled trees in form and function. Social unrest has led to many of its inhabitants growing up in poverty despite the best efforts of those in the GOK-Alliance governing body.
Rire
The Rire System has four rocky planets and four gas giants. One planet, Shemdi, and one moon, Edam, are home to notable settlements.
Rire II, Shemdi - A small K-Class planet. The major population is made up of Arwan and Laleri, who live under domes that protect them from the planet's harsh heat and thick, lightly toxic atmosphere. Within Shemdi's many domes, the environment has been terraformed into grasslands and forests. These domes pepper the surface in clumps, and protected vehicles drive across the areas between domes for trade and migration.
Rire III, Agudi - A huge K-Class planet (no settlement)
Rire V, Lunsi - A gas giant slightly more massive than Jupiter. Lunsi has a large and impressive ring system, as well as 6 major moons, one of which is nearly habitable.
Lunsi 2, Edam - A K-Class moon. Lunsi's bright rings provide the moon with consistent illumination, allowing for plants to exist where otherwise it might be difficult. The planet has a few small oceans, and the land is cold and sparse, resembling a kind of rocky desert. The few communities that live on the planet are focused mainly on mining the various minerals that exist underground, as well as trying to make the planet a little more resource-rich through slow terraforming efforts.
Bulsan
The Bulsan System has five rocky planets, three gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. Two planets, Hinsi and Muhnu, are home to notable settlements.
Bulsan III, Hinsi - A small K-Class planet with a thick, stiflingly hot atmosphere. All settlements are on floating domes which utilise various methods to keep them high enough in the atmosphere to get sunlight.
Bulsan IV, Muhnu - An Earth-sized M-Class planet with a climate very similar to Earth (and Galdor), its similarity to Galdor made it a prime candidate for migration. A wide variety of communities have grown on Muhnu, filling its plains and forests and deserts with teeming life and civilization.
Iralwa
The Iralwa System has three rocky planets and four gas giants. One planet, Iwukji, and one moon, Nosham, are home to notable settlements.
Iralwa II, Iwukji - A huge K-Class planet with almost no atmosphere. All life on Iwukji is within domes with artificial gravity reduction. A large portion of the economy of Iwukji is focused on mining the wide variety of minerals in its crust and sending those minerals into orbit for use in feeding and growing living ships.
Iralwa IV, Atizje - A huge gas giant with a large ring system
Atizje 3, Nosham - An L-Class moon that is barely habitable. Its inhabitants survive under pressurised, heated domes. The surface is survivable... for maybe an hour before you'd die of the cold and oxygen deprivation. Although, an hour is better than dying immediately. Nosham's inhabitants are mostly scientists and their families, studying the strange life that somehow has managed to thrive on this desolate planet.
Mud
The Mud System has four rocky planets and four gas giants. Two planets, Iken and Opiluf, are home to notable settlements.
Mud III, Iken - An Earth-sized M-Class planet with a thick atmosphere that keeps it at a comfortable temperature despite its distance from Mud. A day on Iken lasts 41 Earth hours, and those living there have adjusted their way of life to match this difference. Sleep is done over midnight and midday, with the hours of twilight being the most active hours.
Mud IV, Olipuf - An Earth-sized K-Class planet. Large domes pepper its surface, keeping the air and warmth contained. The industries on Olipuf are mainly ones involved in resource acquisition (mining) and scientific study.
Dewme
The Dewme System has five rocky planets, three gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. One planet, Ibiti, and two moons, Oshil and Izat, are home to notable settlements.
Dewme IV, Ibiti - A large M-Class planet that doesn't have much interesting above sea level, but which has a nearly-planet spanning ocean teeming with life. The Pipini have made Ibiti their home with eagerness, building vast floating communities, small island homes, and submerged domes.
Dewme V, Nomgi - An Earth-sized K-Class planet (no settlement)
Dewme VI, Bupu - A large gas giant with a modest ring system
Bubu 1, Oshil - A K-Class moon with wide open moors and an acidic atmosphere. The plantlife on Oshil produces a highly valued chemical, which is farmed by the people living there.
Dewme VII, Isili - A Jupiter-sized gas giant with a small ring system
Isili 2, Izat - A K-Class moon. Highly mountainous. The planet is filled with dark purple vegetation and animals that resemble earth-nocturnal animals because of the low levels of light that reach it.
Iwa
The Iwa System has five rocky planets and four gas giants. Two planets, Hale and Zemvi, are home to notable settlements
Iwa IV, Hale - A small K-Class planet with a Venus-like atmosphere. While there are a few domes on the surface, a great deal of those living on Hale live either underground, farming fungi and mining, or in floating communities in the skies above.
Iwa V, Zemvi - A large K-Class planet with a surprisingly vibrant ecosphere. The "upper" surface of the planet is quite inhospitable, resembling a high mesa with thin air, but the planet is covered in large fissures and cracks. Within these fissures, local flora and fauna thrive in a jungle-like environment which is being happily studied by the Galdori that live on the planet.

Skrit
Skrit, the Okinosian Home-system. The Skrit System has four rocky planets, three gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. Two planets other than Okinos are home to notable settlements, Inedhaw and Anana.
Skrit I, Ajersi - A small rocky planet which is similar in composition and orbit to Mercury.
Skrit II, Inedhaw - A small K-Class planet with a thick atmosphere. Substantial terraforming efforts have been made, and while Inedhaw is not yet naturally habitable, large areas of its surface are covered in biodomes and terraforming continues. Okinosians who live on Inedhaw are primarily researchers and scientists, and go back to the Cradle to reproduce as they haven't been able to replicate the Mother Spore there. Has two minor moons, Awh and Toh.
Skrit III, Okinos - The Okinosian Cradle. M-Class with a warm, humid climate. Radius is 104% of Earth's, gravity is 117% of Earth's, and atmospheric density is 107% of Earth's. Orbital period is 277 Earth days and local day is 29 Earth hours. Local year is equal to 227 local days. Okinos has an axial tilt of 15.6, resulting in mild seasons. Has one moon, Ludaka.
Skrit IV, Anana - A huge K-Class planet with a thin atmosphere. Large domes pepper its surface, each surrounded by a forest of engineered plants.
Skrit V, Wetag - The first gas giant in the Skrit System. It has a small ring system and many moons. It is nearly three times the mass of Jupiter, but so dense that it doesn't have a significantly larger radius.
Skrit VI, Shi - Shi, the second gas giant, is smaller than Wetag, but still more massive than Jupiter. It boasts a large and impressive ring system.
Skrit VII, Ake - The third gas giant in the system, Ake is a moderately sized planet, being only slightly more massive than Saturn.
Skrit VIII, Yfo - The first dwarf planet identified by Okinosian Astronomers. Has no close neighbours.
Tyra
The Tyra System has six rocky planets, three gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. Two planets, Wezib and Veket, are home to notable settlements.
Tyra IV, Wezib - A small K-Class planet with a pretty toxic atmosphere. It is not as severe as Venus, but still makes the surface difficult to live on without biodomes, of which there are plenty. Terraforming efforts have only recently begun on Wezib, and there is no Mother Spore.
Tyra V, Veket - An Earth-sized M-Class planet with a cool climate. There is a transplant of the Mother Spore on Veket, although the cooler climate has resulted in the transplant being slow to grow. The planet is mostly ocean with small landmasses. Very little terraforming has been done to warm the planet, because heating up the atmosphere would cause the large polar ice-caps to melt, raising the ocean levels and likely reducing the minimal landmass the Okinosians have. The oceans of Veket have a large population of Pipini who have migrated there as well.
Azut
The Azut System has five rocky planets and four gas giants. One planet, Vuhsi, and two moons, Idul and Awiru, are home to notable settlements.
Azut IV, Vuhsi - A small K-Class planet with a somewhat thick atmosphere, which has undergone enough terraforming to allow for non-domed life! The clouds are still too thick to see stars most nights, but a permanent community has grown here quite successfully, including a transplant of the Mother Spore.
Azut V, Aled - A tiny K-Class planet (no settlement)
Azut VI, Evas - A Jupiter-sized planet with a few moons and a decent ring system. It is shades of green and yellow.
Evas 2, Idul - An M-Class moon mostly covered in ocean. There are small volcanic islands scattered around, and the tectonic activity caused by the tidal forces of Azut keep it warm. Most of the native life is aquatic, living deep below the surface where light is less necessary anyways, but the Okinosians who have chosen to call this place home have adapted well enough to the ocean-world.
Azut VII, Puhul - A Jupiter-sized planet with a small ring system, it is pale purples and blues.
Puhul 1, Awiru - A K-Class Moon with deep valleys and canyons. There is minimal air on the surface, but deep below some pressure can be found, giving precious life-support to the small amounts of life that find their home here. Some small communities have developed in these canyons, particularly a sect of highly religious, near-separatist Okinosians who have settled here.
Thun
The Thun System has four rocky planets and four gas giants. Twin planets, Reki and Raki, and one moon, Ifagsha, are home to notable settlements.
Thun II, Kifki - A small K-Class planet with a heavy, toxic atmosphere. Has a few small mining groups deep underground, but no permanent settlement.
Thun IIIa, Reki - A large M-Class planet which is a double planet, along with Raki. Reki is a warm, humid planet with extreme tides due to the size of its moon, Raki. When it was discovered, Reki had a wide array of vertebrate life, which has adjusted well to the addition of the Okinosians in the four centuries since they migrated to Reki.
Thun IIIb, Raki - An Earth-sized K-Class planet which is a double planet, along with Reki. It is currently in the midst of an Ice Age, which has it covered in ice and snow and very cold. Despite this, there are several small communities living on Raki, researching life on a frozen planet.
Thun IV, Shupoz - A huge K-Class planet with a thin atmosphere. The Okinosians living there are mainly scientists and engineers working on Terraforming efforts. Efforts began in 2354, so not much progress has been made. The Okinosians live underground in sealed chambers.
Thun V, Ihun - A Jupiter-sized gas giant. It has a small ring system.
Ihun 3, Ifagsha - An M-Class moon with vast forests. The humid forests provide ample room for small communities of Okinosians to live and thrive, even having an offshoot of the Mother Spore.
Bejar
The Bejar System has four rocky planets, four gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. Three planets, Gifki, Pumfi, and Bivji, are home to notable settlements.
Bejar II, Gifki - A small K-Class planet with a heavy atmosphere. Several biodomes and some attempts at terraforming have been made, but efforts have not been entirely successful. They have no Mother Spore.
Bejar III, Pumfi - An Earth-sized M-Class planet with a chilled but mild climate. It is a dry planet, with expansive deserts, but the coastal regions near the equator are humid and warm enough for Okinosians to thrive. A significant portion of the planet is also settled by Hatriku, who thrive in the desert environment.
Bejar IV, Bivji - A small K-Class planet mainly consisting of a planetwide ocean which is covered in a thick ice sheet. There are a few large settlements, mainly consisting of scientists studying the native lifeforms which live under the ice.

Marama
The Kalaran Home-system. The Marama System has five rocky planets, four gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. One planet other than Kalari is home to a notable settlement, Uthivzu.
Marama I, Epopuj - A tiny rocky planet with very little significance.
Marama II, Uhumeg - A tiny rocky planet which has almost exactly 5 days per year.
Marama III, Uthivzu - An Earth-sized K-Class planet which has a mild greenhouse effect and near-Kalaran atmospheric pressure, but due to its close orbit and subsequent scorching temperatures, is too hot to be considered M-Class. The Kalarans who live on Uthivzu do so nearly on the poles, where the average temperatures are more tolerable.
Marama IV, Kalari - The Kalaran Cradle. M-Class, with extreme seasons. Radius is 88% of Earth's, gravity is 98% that of Earth's, and atmospheric density is 110% of Earth's. Orbital period is 820 Earth days and local day is 22 Earth hours. Local year is equal to 900 local days. Kalar has an axial tilt of 31.1, resulting in fairly extreme seasons, tempered slightly by the thick atmosphere. There are fairly extreme polar ice-caps on Kalari, preventing the Kalarans from living in the polar regions. Has two moons, Nodar (major) and Wakaw (minor).
Marama V, Washniz - A small, rocky planet. Its mass is less than a quarter of Earth's. It has one small minor moon.
Marama VI, Ethotho - A massive gas giant. It has a mass about twice that of Jupiter, and is notable in the Kalaran night sky as a bright green and blue dot. It has a healthy number of moons and a medium ring system. It is particularly well known for the fact that it has a retrograde rotation.
Marama VII, Wawdoth - A large gas giant. Slightly smaller than Jupiter, with medium rings and only a few moons, it is outshone in its own system by its larger, closer-to-the-sun sibling.
Marama VIII, Ajinmob - About half the size of Saturn, this ice giant has a minimal ring system and just a few moons. Its rotation is retrograde, and it takes over two and a half earth centuries for it to orbit its star.
Marama IX, Shampev - So far out from its star that it takes over 650 earth years to orbit, this ice giant barely knows the star exists! It does, however, have a large and impressive ring system.
Marama X, Egutham - Nearly a thousand years per revolution around its star, Egutham is only notable because it is one of the few places where the crystal used for the Teletheric Transporter can be found.
Avansu
The Avansu System has five rocky planets, four gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. One planet, Lush, and its moon, Sanlit, are home to notable settlements.
Avansu IVa, Lush - A large M-Class planet which is a double planet, along with Sanlit. Lush is, fittingly, a lush, warm planet. The planet is covered in small landmasses covered in trees, even in creeping into the polar regions. The Kalarans who live on Lush are well adapted to this world, as it is not too different from Kalari. Many Kalarans visit Lush just for the sight of the Auroras, which are not visible from the habitable zone of Kalari.
Avansu IVb, Sanlit - A large M-Class planet which is a double planet, along with Lush. Sanlit is a world of open pastures and forests, with a comfortable climate that is perfect for camping and wilderness exploration. That isn't to say that there is no civilisation there, but it is a popular tourist spot for those looking to experience a taste of the wild.
Avansu V, Ijefu - A huge K-Class planet (no settlement)
Ithogi
The Ithogi System has four rocky planets and four gas giants. Two planets. Urunha and Itugshi, are home to notable settlements.
Ithogi II, Urunha - A small K-Class planet with a thick atmosphere. Biodomes are required, even at the poles, which is where the main attempts at agriculture have taken place. Some sky settlements have been established, but the atmosphere isn't thick enough to support them permanently. Plans are being made to terraform Urunha to be more habitable for Kalaran life.
Ithogi III, Itugshi - An Earth-sized M-Class planet with very mountainous terrain. The climate is similar to that of Kalari, including the axial tilt being within a degree. Itugshi has lots of volcanic activity, earthquakes, and big mountains.
Evakef
The Evakef System has five rocky planets and four gas giants. One planet, Wyry, and three moons, Ashimjo, Shyk, and Temshash, are home to notable settlements.
Evakef III, Hothsi - A small K-Class planet. Venus-like atmosphere. No settlements have been attempted. No mining has been attempted.
Evakef IV, Wyry - A large M-Class planet. It has an earth-like range of climates, with more extreme seasonal variation as a result of its more extreme axial tilt. Kalarans have established a thriving community on Wyry which functions as somewhat of a home base for the three lunar settlements in the star system.
Evakef VI, Ufiduk -
Ufiduk 3, Ashimjo - An M-Class moon
Evakef VII, Izogzu -
Izogzu 1, Shyk - A K-Class Moon
Izogzu 2, Temshash - A K-Class Moon
Umogvi
The Umogvi System has six rocky planets, three gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. One planet, Thufa, and one moon, Itiketh, are home to notable settlements.
Umogvi V, Thufa - An Earth-sized M-Class planet with a hot, wet climate. Thufa has a wide variety of massive jungles with large trees, the rainy climate making it an ideal place for the Kalarans to live in... except for one small detail - one of the native life-forms is Sapient. Their society is early agricultural, with most people in a hunter-gatherer state. More information on the Thufaki ("Crested") can be found here. A small Kalaran contingent is assigned to a space station in Thufa's orbit, ensuring no major geologic disasters can wipe out this developing species.
Umogvi VII, Uhakdi -
Uhakdi 2, Itiketh - A K-Class Moon
Ushula
The Ushula System has five rocky planets and four gas giants. Two planets, Sezev and Ugigu, are home to notable settlements.
Ushula III, Sezev - A small K-Class planet with a thick atmosphere. It has been terraformed enough that Kalarans can be outside their domes without a full space-suit, although they still need rebreathers for the somewhat damaging-to-breathe atmosphere. They only live at the poles, as even their highly adaptive epigenetics are not enough to allow them to survive in a place where the average temperature is 170ºC.
Ushula IV, Ugigu - An Earth-sized M-Class planet. The planet is full of shallow seas that give it an almost Mediterranean climate. There are many small settlements and a lot of vacation homes on the planet, as well as a healthy fishing economy that creates delicious seafood dishes that people travel across the sector to get a taste of. The highly adaptive Kalarans have become even more aquatic while living on Ugigu, and a native of Ugigu can generally be recognised via the large fins and gills they sport as well as general grey to blue skin tones.
Afirne
The Afirne System has four rocky planets, four gas giants, and one notable dwarf planet. One planet, Kadni, and two moons, Numthi and Iwif, are home to notable settlements.
Afirne II, Kadni - An Earth-sized M-Class planet with an axial tilt of nearly 45º. Despite the extreme seasons, it is still home to a healthy population of Kalarans, due to their high adaptability. In just a few generations, Kadnan Kalarans living in temperate areas have evolved to grow a thick layer of fat during the winters that is lost during the summer months. Those in the tropics, dealing with rainy and dry seasons, close up their gills during the dry season, their skin growing rough, then open up their gills and grow soft skin during the rainy seasons.
Afirne III, Ovibe - A tiny K-Class planet (no settlement)
Afirne V, Yvysmik -
Yvysmik 5, Numthi - A K-Class Moon
Afirne VI, Fufith -
Fufith 1, Iwif - An M-Class moon
