I N T R O D U C T I O N

The Council Stellarographical Database is to collect data about interstellar objects and entities, natural as well as artificial, in an orderly fashion, then provide open access to all of those within The Council who wish to browse, read and use the knowledge stored here. Data is ordered per houses, per systems, and per categories, such as natural objects, artificial objects, tradelane network, inter-system gateways.

// OORP part starts here //

Systems in white are systems The Council have quite sufficient knowledge of. Systems in blurred dark orange are systems The Council have no sufficient knowledge of yet, but that may change in the future. Systems with blurred transparent names are systems The Council are unlikely to acquire sufficient knowledge of.

At the end of every post there will be an OORP section similar to this one detailing which systems or entries are missing due to lack of knowledge, which of those can be discovered INRP, and which of those cannot without prior OORP consent from the relevant players. Once consent given, entries change category, discovered entities are removed from such OORP sections as their entries appear in the INRP section of the database. Lack of such OORP section means the lack of unknown systems in the house or region or the lack of unknown entities in the system.

Note that while by the game mechanics, stationary dockable Battleships, Liners and other non-dockable, but still stationary cruisers, battlecruisers and destroyers are immovable solars, INRP they are still considered as mobile assets. This database does not discuss mobile assets, therefor these entities do not and will not have entries here.

New Paris was the first planet colonized by the Gallic Sleeper Ship's arrival in 84 A.S. (0 A.G.S.). Biologically, the world is similar to Earth of the Carboniferous period (late Paleozoa). It has vast forests in equatorial and moderate regions but only a few large animal species capable of breathing atmospheric oxygen. Oxygen concentration on New Paris is similar to human-inhabited Earth, being about 24 percent (unlike true Carboniferous on Earth when the concentration was almost twice as high). This did not allow large insect species to develop, leaving more room for smaller amphibious tetrapods and predecessors of birds. Colder continental areas were scarcely inhabited and had no large flora. Oceanic wildlife is extremely rich with a wide variety of species, most of them not bearing any similarity with any known Earth animals. The planet's climate was more or less similar to Earth, with temperatures as high as 60°C in equatorial regions, and frequently dropping below -60°C in polar regions.

New Paris has undergone several periods of development, starting with isolated colonies that had highly reproductive populations. Very soon afterwards, large cities emerged from those settlements, and food demand forced them to exploit huge amounts of land to plant crops and raise animals brought from Earth. In many areas, indigenous wildlife was fully replaced with domesticated animals and plants originating from Earth, and accompanying species. Rapid industrial growth resulted in severe pollution that still affects certain areas of the planet, but was mostly cleared out in subsequent centuries. In about 200 A.G.S., the population of the planet was nearing 5 million, and huge urbanization centers emerged in moderate climate areas near convenient harbors. Those centers were named after old Paris districts, and three of them (Ile du Palais, Saint-Germain and Saint-Denis) have their own orbital docking rings.

The population grew steadily and reached 1 billion by 600 A.G.S. . Millions of people relocated off-world, with massive relocation campaigns taking place to populate worlds with huge resource deposits and industrial capacity, like Amiens (Provence), Bourges (Berry) and later Marne (Champagne). Apart from the relocation programs, many people left New Paris to find cheaper places to live and "new beginnings" for themselves, since New Paris gradually became the most expensive place to live in all of Gallia, except for resort planets, and Marseille in particular. Remote worlds with less comfortable climate provided (and still provide) far lower land and property costs. Ecology issues forced the removal of heavy industry away from New Paris to space stations in Ile-de-France and beyond. The few remaining old-style factories now serve as museums where citizens can observe impressive industrial landmarks similar to those seen on XXII century Earth. Currently, the planet with its 16.3 billion population is considered to be one of the most comfortable places to live in all of Gallia. The planet also never lost its status as the capital of the House of Gallia. Offices of the Royal Government and Royal Chancery, as well as the High Courts and the Parliament, are located within the largest urban centers of New Paris. The monarch with his or her court usually inhabits one of the numerous summer or winter Royal residences.

MASS: 4.81 x 10e19 kg
TERRAIN: Arctic
TEMPERATURE: -105°C to 11°C
ESCAPE VELOCITY: 10.73 km/sec

Aubigny is a cold, distant planet in far orbit of Planet Meudon. It was discovered early into the initial survey of the Ile-de-France system, but was originally deemed far too frigid for colonization. As the climate on the planet was studied in more detail centuries later, it was discovered that equatorial regions of the planet would provide acceptable living conditions if the climate could be adjusted. From 575 to 650 A.G.S., efforts to raise the temperature were made using what terraforming capabilities Gallia could muster, and settlements quickly followed.

In the advent of the Second Gallic War, it was discovered that a substantial amount of fossil fuels was discovered in the deeper mines and caverns crisscrossing beneath the endless snows. This quickly began a rush of jobs to Aubigny, spearheaded by EFL Oil & Machinery. The vast majority of 50 million residents find employment in some aspect of oil production. Acclimatization to the planet appears to be slow due to the isolating conditions and temperature on Aubigny, and subsequent generations born here have reported finding it difficult to fit in with more cosmopolitan society on New Paris and elsewhere.

Planet Les Ulis was one of the first solar bodies surveyed in Ile-de-France. Several mining outposts were established planetside in 100-120 AGS, but they were all closed down around 400 AGS when easily mineable deposits of aluminium and Beryllium were depleted, and the presence of mining operations on this inhospitable world was no longer necessary. Rambouilette Shipyard orbits the planet.

Meudon is a large gas giant with thick atmosphere mainly comprised of hydrogene and helium with notable presence of methane. It is a well-known landmark on the trade lane route from Ile-de-France to Maine. Since early 200s, several stations were located in its orbit. Currently, Versailles Residence is the only one remaining. Shortly after Versailles was completed, other stations in the area were disassembled due to "safety precautions", and their components were transferred to construction sites located in Maine.

ESCAPE VELOCITY: 6.44 km/sec

Clermont is a medium-sized icy world located on the outskirts of Ile-de-France. The planet is devoid of any volcanic activity and has a crust comprised of water and methane ice. The planet is presumed to contain a dense rocky core. Thin atmosphere and lack of internal heat sources make the planet one of the coldest large solar bodies of Ile-de-France. By contrast, Montataire, the only moon of Clermont, is known for substantial volcanic activity and is actually warmer than its parent planet.

A large purple ice giant with a beautiful ring system, Creteil is a true gem of the Ile-de-France system. Its atmosphere is typical for gas giants, comprised mainly of molecular hydrogen and helium. The latter is still mined from the planet's atmosphere. Creteil lies between two of the largest debris fields found in Gallia, Senart and Bobigny. Debris matter from both fields is slowly drifting towards the planet. Larger debris fall down into the planet's vast atmosphere, while many smaller components start orbiting the planet as parts of its outer rings. Planet Creteil has only one large moon, Brunoy.

Mennecy is a small dwarf planet located far off the orbital plane of the Ile-de-France system. Officially, it is an ordinary solar body comprised of methane ice and silicates that was formerly a moon of Planet Creteil. Some sources, however, indicate that Melun Research Facility was built in its orbit for a reason, and the dwarf planet contains valuable deposits of certain resources that the Royal Navy prefers to keep secret from the public and from corporations.

Clamart is the only moon of Planet New Paris. Most of its surface is covered with ice, sometimes covered with thin layers of dust. The moon has a relatively heavy rocky core. Clamart was a logical choice for the first space expeditions from Planet New Paris. However, no significant mineral deposits were found on the moon, and it is currently used only as a training site for personnel subject to working in low-gravity conditions. Seen from the surface of New Paris as a large bright object, when full, Clamart has an apparent magnitude of -14,1.

Evry is a medium-sized gas planet with significant amounts of sulfur compounds in its atmosphere. Sulfur is the main contributor to its distinct yellow color. Unlike most gas giants, Evry has an internal structure of a small terrestrial planet, but cannot be considered one due to extensive and dense atmosphere. No economically practical use of the planet's outer atmosphere has been found to date. Landing on its surface is impossible due to extreme atmospheric pressure.

Dourdan is located in the center of Chevreuse Asteroid Field. The planet was once extensively researched as a site for possible future terraforming. Ironically, surveys of the surrounding asteroid field conducted at the same time indicated presence of a jump hole leading to another system that was later named Orleanais. Discovery of a new means for interstellar travel rendered all ideas of terraforming Ile-de-France planets useless, since habitable planets were found in several systems that were one jump away from Ile-de-France.

Billancourt is a small barren moon of Planet Meudon. The place has no economic significance, and the Crown approved its usage as a target for testing missile weaponry for Royal Navy capital ships. The tests stopped after Versailles was built in the vicinity of the moon, but an eagle-eyed observer from the palace station may still make out traces of nuclear warhead impacts among the numerous craters.

MASS: 6.25 x 10e24 kg.
TERRAIN: Desert
TEMPERATURE: -52°C to 90°C
ESCAPE VELOCITY: 8.55 km/sec

Planet Creil is often considered to be the core of an ancient gas giant that was deprived of its atmosphere by some cosmic cataclysm, possibly a planetoid impact. Most of the former atmosphere is thought to be condensing around the planet as a cloud known as Senlis. Hidden deep within the cloud, Creil is a planet fully covered with vast and deep oceans that contain varied chemical substances, including organic matter. Complex organic molecules present on Creil are considered to be protobionts that could, according to some researchers, be very similar to ones found on Earth around 3,5 billion years ago. Those protobionts are considered to be progenitors of organic life on Earth, and Creil offers a unique opportunity to study early stages of life formation in natural conditions. The planet is regularly visited by scientific expeditions from New Paris and elsewhere, but attempts to find traces of true organic life were unsuccessful thus far.

The Fontainebleau Residence was built in the year 259 A.G.S. as the very first space residence for Gallic monarchs. Unlike Versailles which was built some 350 years later, Fountainebleau was (and still is) a medium-sized facility that resembles a common space residence rather than a gorgeous palace. Even before Versailles was built, it was not popular with the Gallic monarchs who preferred the vast spaces and plentiful services of their planetside residences. After Versailles was completed, the station was refitted to become an open civilian residence, catering mainly to wealthy Parisians who prefer to live in space.

Gallic records of the first steps of Ile-de-France space exploration are known to be incomplete. Existing records indicate that the area where Montmartre is now located was the site of the very first station construction in Gallic space, dated between 80 and 90 A.G.S. . The first station known as Montmartre Space Colony was built in 197 A.G.S. and was fully rebuilt several times, the last rebuild taking place about 200 years ago.

Montmartre in its modern state is a huge station that houses almost a two thousand people, being one of the largest and most well-equipped space colonies in Gallic space. The station docking facilities are administered by Royal Police, but most of the station is under civilian administration. The structure and competency of Montmartre's administration mostly replicate local governments found on populated planets of the House. The station has its own light industry that employs much of its population, producing a wide array of consumer goods, many of which are exported to New Paris and elsewhere.

Rambouilette construction was finalized in 247 A.G.S., and the shipyard was the first full-service shipyard built in Gallia. It was built and operated by the Royal Navy, tasked to research and construct large capital ships that would be necessary for Sirius' conquest in the then distant future. At about 600 A.G.S., the facility switched focus from research to mass production of the new capital ship types that were approved for future Navy service. Just like many Ile-de-France bases, Rambouilette was re-built several times throughout its history, with more and larger docks being added to adapt to new ship building needs. The only civilian ships ever built in Rambouilette were the luxury cruise liners for the Royal family.

Since the beginning of the war with Bretonia, Rambouilette was tasked to supply spare components for Gallic capital ships in addition to building newer ones. Additional workers were brought in from Maine and Picardy to meet the increased production demands, which has put a strain on the stations life support systems and crew quarters.

Versailles was completed in 607 A.G.S. after 20 years of continuous building. The station was ordered by King Richard V as his new space residence. Richard was a splendor-loving hedonist who chose to oversee the construction himself. However, constant delays and budget issues prevented the station's completion during his lifetime. He never had a chance to see his creation in person.

Richard V was an ambiguous figure. But his popularity with the Gallic people was hard to underestimate. After his death, the Gallic Liberation Movement and its supporters in the Parliament passed a law that would restrict Royal family expenses to a small sum annually substracted from the House's budget. At the same time, many parts of Versailles were offered for rent to compensate for the skyrocketing construction and maintenance costs. Between years 630 and 640 A.G.S., the Liberation Movement lost much of its former influence, and several of its most notable leaders were tried for treason and convicted. Eventually, the Movement was banned in 636 A.G.S. under the reign of Louis V. Shortly afterwards, many limitations for Royal expenses were removed. Civilians and companies who could afford renting space on Versailles were asked to move out. Many later claimed that they were denied any compensation.

With improved security equipment introduced after 645 A.G.S., Versailles became a popular place for the Kings and Queens of Gallia to visit. It is a large and lush facility that looks more like a palace in space than an actual space station. One distinct difference from other space stations is that Versailles has far larger living quarters, passageways and halls. It houses fewer people then other stations of it's size.

Due to its status as the second favourite Royal residence (after Louvre on Planet New Paris), Versailles is a target of choice for many Gallic terrorist groups. The Maquis are the most serious threat. Thus far, they have made three serious attempts to destroy the station, one of which (in 715 A.G.S.) was almost successful. A captured transport was loaded with a massive nuclear warhead and sent to the station using a forged transponder signal. The transport masked as a water-and-oxygen supply ship, and it wasn't until the last minutes that the controllers aboard the station realised something was wrong. The transport was obliterated by turret fire not far from the station's docks. The resulting explosions crippled the ship, but did not trigger the explosive payload in it's hold. Salvage ships subsequently towed the wreck away, and the Navy detonated the transport in a live broadcast throughout Gallia, showing it's citizens just what the Maquis had sought to do.

Ironically, Beaumont Base bears the same name as a Junker base in Texas. This fact is most likely a coincidence, though some Junkers suggest that the idea to name the Texas base (built in 763 A.S.) came from the Gallic overseers of Junker activity in Sirius. Beaumont was built in Ile-de-France back in 303 A.G.S., shortly after Beauvais was constructed. The bulk of Beaumont's initial hull was comprised of the junk and stolen parts from Beauvais construction sites. It was built by a group that would later become known as the Junkers. A well-known theory suggests that the Junkers actually owe their name to Beaumont's outlook: the station looked like a piece of junk floating in space. Later on, as Junkers grew richer, Beaumont was rebuilt, and while some of its parts still resemble its rough origins, most of the station looks more or less professionally constructed.

Beaumont was frequently visited by various parties, including Gallic pirates, freelancing traders, and covert agents of Gallic corporations. Additionally, it is suspected to be the primary local source of Nox, a drug that originates from Provence and has gained massive popularity in Ile-de-France and other higher-class planets of central Gallia despite government attempts to curb its spread.

Upon hearing about the misfortunes at Lixheim in 737 A.G.S., the Gallic Junker leadership had the base fortified to resist the expected assault. The crew, however, were not confident in their security. They staged a coup, removing their former leaders and declared themselves as Brigands in a transmission to the rest of the Gallic unlawfuls. This course of action proved to be wise, as the Maquis were planning on a strike, but called it off.

Compiegne Space Colony is a modern civilian housing facility built within the Ile-de-France trade lane hexagon in 690 A.G.S. . Initially operated by a medium-sized space company named Nery Space Construction, it was bought by Solar Engineering after Nery went bankrupt several years after the station's construction. Due to security measures, however, it was decided to have Compiegne administered by the Gallic Royal Police. The station was a risky purchase since it failed to become a financial success and was one of the primary reasons of Nery's bankruptcy. Yet, Solar successfully converted it into a luxurious population center for wealthy New Paris citizens who wanted to have an alternate place to live in the system. Since piracy in Ile-de-France is heavily surpressed, civilian convoys in the area are rarely threatened. At Compiegne, citizens are granted a rare opportunity to fly a rented ship into space without obtaining a pilot license.

A large portion of Compiegne is an enclosed private area that was reportedly used as the space-based headquarter offices of Solar Engineering. With the merger, this section was emptied out and now lies abandonded, as neither the Royal Police nor EFL have any present need for it. That said, it's worth noting that this area of Compiegne was not just a highly secured office and apartment complex, but also a fully fledged self-sufficient space fortress.

Beauvais was one of the first space stations constructed by EFL Oil and Machinery back in the time when it was called EFL Oil. The company initially built its fortune on planetside mining of oil and producing a wide array of petroleum products. Moving to space was a necessary step forward to move the most ecologically hazardous productions away from the planet's surface, and to gain access to easily accessible resource deposits located in space.

EFL started constructing the station in the year 281 A.G.S., and in the hundreds of years to come the facility was rebuilt several times. It contains a number of highly efficient petroleum processing facilities, making Beauvais one of the primary sources of petrochemicals in the Ile-de-France system. The station is also known for being the closest lawful facility to Beaumont Base. Junkers are fairly frequent visitors at Beauvais, despite the attempts of EFL managers to drive the ambiguous faction away from the facility.

Ile-de-France Shipping was founded in 501 A.G.S. . As a shipping company that specializes in space cargo transportation, the company considered establishing headquarters in space rather than planetside to be a major benefit. IDF's Board of Directors chose the location one trade lane run away from the Berry jump gate. Construction of the station that was named Sarcelles took five years to complete, and in 506 A.G.S. it was officially opened. In years to come, it was rebuilt and expanded several times to match an increasing amount of IDF shipments heading through Sarcelles to and from the Gallic Border Worlds.

The First Gallic War was a disaster for many small shipping companies, especially those heavily involved with Normandy region trade. IDF focused on the Core Worlds and Border Worlds instead. Backed by the government and supported by EFL Oil and Machinery, IDF currently controls a vast portion of civilian shipments across the Gallic house space, and has a practical monopoly on exporting goods to Sirius. Sarcelles is still considered the headquarters of the company, but not many board members and chief officers choose to live and work there. Despite the best efforts of IDF designers, living on Planet New Paris is much more comfortable. IDF Shipping owns a small island near Ile du Palais where a large "office city" was constructed to serve as the company's actual headquarters and most of its top employees live and work there.

Avon was one of the first pirate bases founded in Gallia. No one knows exactly when this occured or who the people were that were daring enough to inhabit an asteroid in the central part of Vincennes Nebula, but most likely it were the forerunners of the Gallic Brigands. The asteroid was hollowed by tunnels without much planning or control, and towards 700 A.G.S. the facility literally started to fall apart. With many parts of the asteroid depressurized, most of the pirates chose to leave.

The Maquis eventually repressurised and repaired some parts of the base, and use it to strike at the heart of the Gallic Capitol. These days, Avon is still far from being a reliable facility, with dozens of unexplored tunnels and pathways. Pressurization problems still emerge from time to time. However, the base does fulfil most housing and security needs of the numerous Maquis who live there. Security is tight in and around Avon, since the Maquis know that if the Royal Navy would learn the location of the base, it would not be able to withstand an attack for long.

Fleury-Merogis is a prison facility built in 464 A.G.S. in the orbit of Planet New Paris. It is the largest space prison facility in Gallia, housing nearly 1200 of the most dangerous convicts, most of them sentenced for life. A life sentence on Fleury-Merogis is usually no longer then a few years however, earning this prison the nickname "the Guillotine" among criminals. Few ever managed to escape from this place, since space around the station is well-guarded, both by the prison's own defenses and by Planet New Paris' defensive grids. The Gallic Royal Police maintain a full non-disclosure policy about all space prison facilities, and no information is released about the number of escapes. Those few who were lucky enough to be released from Fleury-Merogis report that conditions within the prisons are horrible, medical facilities lack sufficient capacity, and some parts of the station are under full control of the convicts with no guards daring to venture inside.

The Auvergne system is one of the few human-developed systems in Gallia completely devoid of habitable planets. None of the planets present in the system were found suitable for colonization, not even for a mining colony. Most of the system's economy is concentrated around two large space colonies: Clermont and Montlucon. Auvergne is also the least populated of the Southern Borderworld systems with a population of no more than 7,000.

Clermont was built in 549 A.G.S. in the orbit of Planet Montferrand. It was initially a temporary installation that would house workers employed on other construction sites, including Riom. As years went by, the station was expanded with new modules and grew into a large compound base that was classified as a Space Colony. Its population capacity rose from 250 in 550 A.G.S. to over 1000 in 680 A.G.S. . The original modules of the station are still operational, but they are in poor condition. As a result Clermont has some of the cheapest living quarters Gallia has to offer for those who prefer living in space to dwelling planetside. The more recent additions to Clermont have far more comfortable living conditions. The inhabitants of the station are mostly employed in the light industries on Clermont or elsewhere in the system.

A trade lane was built to Saint-Flour from Montlucon, serving not only to transport the raw materials back to Gallia and Mining Machinery to it, but to provide the workforce with a quick commune from the systems civilian colonies, where most of the miners families are housed. During the last two decades, the ore deposits within Alliers were largely depleted, forcing Saint-Flour to scale back its operations. Yet, mining in the remote areas of the field continues, despite increased Brigand raids against the miners operating far from their base.
