The Transh System serves as the de jure political and administrative hub of the Transh Cluster, as well as the home to the Gilligan Dynasty. The planetary system comprises the F-type main-sequence star Veo, and the worlds of Arrim, Transh, Corakal, Maijan, Brevidanos, and Berene, as well as a multitude of lesser satellites and asteroids.
An F-type main-sequence star, or yellow-white dwarf, of slightly higher mass and radius than Sol.

Classification: Dead World (Mining World)
Population: ~10,000 (transient miners & technicians)
Planetary Governance: Excavator-General Luisa Porella
Capital: Excavator Stack Primus
Geography/Environment: Desolate wastes alternatively blasted by unsurvivable heat or exposed to the cold void
Settlement Types: Mobile mining rigs and resource processing platforms
Despite its proximity to the system’s star, the planet’s slow rotation means that the temperature on the night side drops to a workable level, allowing small-scale mining operations using mobile drilling platforms.

Planetary Governance: Governor Quen Taro (de jure), Lady Saraya Gilligan (de facto)
Capital: Uzori's Landing
Geography/Environment: Varied biomes, ranging from verdant rainforests and jungles to expansive plains, separated by largely unspoiled oceans
Settlement Types: Prosperous coastal cities and pleasure resorts
Transh is a verdant paradise, covered in lush rainforests and crystal-clear oceans, with glittering cities and pleasure resorts lining the coasts.
Though officially under the rule of Governor Quen Taro, since Lady Saraya Gilligan took over the Dynasty the planet has largely come under her sway - though she would never dare to insinuate this publicly...
It has 1 moon - Gilligan's Rest; reportedly Artem Gilligan's final resting place, and the ancestral burial ground for the Dynasty.
Classification: Cemetary World (Moon)
Population: ~ 500
Planetary Governance: Deacon Tobias Mulready
Capital: Cathedral of Saint Angelos
Geography/Environment: Barren wasteland exposed to the void
Settlement Types: Sealed hab-units and expansive mausoleums
An outward show of the power and wealth of the Gilligan Dynasty, the entire moon is dedicated to the burial and commemoration of its fallen members, as well as especially high-ranking and trusted companions.

Planetary Governance: N/A (officially a Protectorate of Transh)
Capital: N/A (de facto), Kor Gilano (de jure, former)
Geography/Environment: Cold tundra and arctic desert covering most of the planet's surface
Settlement Types: Ruined industrial cities, tribal villages made of scavenged materials
A former industrial world which helped to maintain the system's fleet, three centuries ago it was the unlucky recipient of a massive solar flare/coronal mass ejection which stripped away a large portion of the planet’s ionosphere, causing extensive damage to the atmosphere. This in turn caused a near total ecological collapse, with the planet being plunged into an ice age. The flare also disabled most of the electrical systems in the planet’s cities, leaving them unable to protect themselves against the elements.
The estimated costs to repair the damage were deemed too high by the then-governor of Transh, and so the world was abandoned. Those people who managed to survive now exist as techno-barbarian tribes and warbands, fighting one another for the few resources that remain - because of this, they make useful bodyguards and warriors and are often recruited exactly for this purpose.
Underneath the northern icecap lies a huge reservoir of promethium, called the Great Promethium Sea, with enough stored fuel to maintain an army for centuries of constant war; unfortunately most of the apparatus to extract it was lost when the planet's ecosystem collapsed, so it remains there to this day.

Geography/Environment: Hydrogen atmosphere surrounding a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen and a molten core
Settlement Types: N/A
The largest planet in the system and the primary source of the hydrogen used as fuel for the fusion reactors of the inner planets and the Gilligan Dynasty’s fleet. Several hydrogen refineries orbit in the planet’s upper atmosphere, alongside a small cluster of orbital facilities to maintain the operations.
It has 31 moons, several of which have been industrialised, in order to replace the former output of Corakal.

Geography/Environment: An ice-shrouded rocky core surrounded by a dense atmosphere of hydrogen, ammonia, methane, and water vapour

The second largest planet in the system, and protectorate of the Gilligan Dynasty.
It has 9 moons, of which only 1 is inhabited - Trofaia; the Gilligan Dynasty’s fortified redoubt and winter retreat.

Population: ~ 7,000

Geography/Environment: Icy wasteland with a thin atmosphere
Settlement Types: N/A
An icy world with a barely breathable atmosphere, Trofaia is home to the Icespyre, the Gilligan Dynasty's ancestral fortress and redoubt. It is a vast edifice clad in a crystalline coating giving the appearance that it is constructed of ice, and is well furnished to cater to the needs of the family and its closest advisors and confidants.

Postings to Berene are considered a punishment, and a sign of the end of a career. Its frigid surface is dotted with thousands of weapons batteries and fortified bunkers, built centuries ago as the system's first line of defence. Despite the impressive facilities, however, Berene's garrison is barely capable of manning half of them - largely relying on deception and illusion to protect the system from threats.
