Galactic Atlas

Atheri-Doxseri Prime is home to many young and luminous stars, which push out further from the Inner Ring than seen in other wings of the Galaxy. It is characterized by spectacular nebulae and an abundance of heavy elements. It is home to many iron-core planets, gas giants, ice giants, vast and rich asteroid belts, and unusually large rocky planets with high gravity. Rich in heavy elements and rare isotopes, Atheri-Doxseri has given rise to many of the galaxy's foremost industrial, manufacturing, and shipbuilding powers.

The Inner Ring is the densely packed stellar region immediately beyond the Umbral Ring surrounding Umbra, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. It is among the most volatile regions of known space, characterized by young stars, binary star systems, and unstable stellar nurseries. On many Inner Ring worlds, the night sky never becomes entirely dark. Nearby stars cast a perpetual twilight across planetary landscapes from all directions, while elevated background radiation makes planets with thick atmospheres or powerful magnetic fields favorable for habitation. The Inner Ring is also the most heavily traveled and fiercely contested region of the galaxy. Throughout the ages, civilizations have risen and fallen in their struggle to control the slipstream junctions that converge upon the Umbral Ring, making the region the political, economic, and strategic heart of known civilization.
