Planet Alle

Size:
Huge

Terrain:
Cracked and broken rocks

Climate:
frozen all year round

Satellites:
None

Atmosphere:
None

Gravity:
Strong

Day Length:
100 Hours

Year Length:
1000 Days

Natives:
None

Ore and Minerals:
Large amount of metals

Alle is a dead world, at some point in the far past an object collided at imminence speeds punching a hole through it. It now floats frozen a large hold from one side to the other, it is now sat in the middle of a dense asteroid field.

Planet Gasia

Size:
Huge

Terrain:
Gas Giant

Climate:
Gas Giant

Satellites:
Three Moons, Blu, Raka, Nara

Atmosphere:
None

Gravity:
Strong

Day Length:
? Hours

Year Length:
800 Days

Natives:
None

Ore and Minerals:
Mostly made of Helium

Planet Hara

Size:
Small

Terrain:
Dense jungle and forest around the equator in a band of land, the rest is ocean with a few archipelagos

Climate:
Humid and wet all year

Satellites:
Two Moons, Hul and Kul

Atmosphere:
Thick and Oxygen rich

Gravity:
medium

Day Length:
50

Year Length:
200

Natives:
A large number of lizards and mammals along with exotic flora, no sentient species known

Ore and Minerals:
average for a life bearing planet

Hara is a life rich world covered in greenery and full of exotic large creatures. As for the landscape it is mostly hilly with little in the way of mountains. It's two moons and celestial rings can clearly be seen from the surface.

Planet Mrt

Size:
Small

Terrain:
Made up of mineral dust and planes of glass

Climate:
Hot enough to create glass and create dust storms constantly on the surface

Satellites:
None

Atmosphere:
None

Gravity:
Low

Day Length:
200 hours

Year Length:
80 days

Natives:
None

Ore and Minerals:
A large amount of base elements exist on the surface.

Mrt is the closest planet to Eka and is a blasted wasteland, the surface is constantly blasted by intense heat melting the surface into glass. The planets plates are notoriously unstable as when the the surface is facing away from Eka the change of temperature warps and cracks the surface causing cracks and dust that gets whipped up from the surface making slow ethereal clouds covering the dark side they slowly drift back towards the planet until they are again melted in the dawn.

The Start Of The New Worlds

Out of the ten sleeper ships only 6 managed to leave the planet each heading to various places. One landed on the planet Hara, A tropical world covered in lush green forests. A single continent stretches unbroken around the planet's equator, separating the northern and southern oceans. This continent is teeming with life, as are the oceans. However the colony did not last and it's fate is a mystery.
 Another made it to the planet Pahy, this mostly consisted of prisoners partly political partly not. The planet is immensely hot and inhospitable being close to the sun and comprising mostly of rock and lava.
 One made it to the planet Broine a large rocky planet with high gravity and a thin atmosphere. The atmosphere only extends about 1 mile above sea level, and many mountain tops are exposed to the vacuum of space. Native flora and fauna live in the deep valleys between mountain ranges. Many of these valleys are isolated, causing an interesting amount of biodiversity.
 Yet another to BlÅ« a moon of a gas giant near the edge of the system, deeply cold with a habitable band around the equator, it is full of rare minerals and metals. The colonists mostly comprised of rich nobles.
 One mostly filled with abducted people missed the intended target and ended up at Banua, a terrestrial planet with an unusually large axial tilt causing extreme seasonal changes. The planet has a very thin atmosphere but underground caves do have enough to sustain human life-forms. 
The final ship was not ready and had few people in cyrosleep on launch, but it did have a large number of engineers and scientists who got trapped on board when the ship launched, the ship is now located on the far edge of the system.

A New Setting

This is the start of a new setting I am building. I will be adding more and more to the setting as I go.

Long ago on the planet Matra, a vast empire existed that spread from one side of the planet to the other. The empire existed on firm rule claiming land by force and assigning governors to each area. The Empire continued in a stable form like this for quite some time, but tensions slowly started developing between the governors, while unable to declare war against each other they still began preparing in secret developing advanced weapons and conducting espionage. However while this cold war was brewing another group started to appear, The Akata a group of anarchists who deemed a unified Empire was weakening everyone and the governors where useless and needed to be removed. In order to shake up the Empire into something more desirable they formulated a plan to use the Internet to spread their message and to cause unrest in one of the regions with small rebel strikes, they then hacked into the Imperial network and use it to fake the launch of nuclear missiles against the insurgents, meaning that during the chaos they could rise up in key locations and take over with little resistance as everyone was distracted by coming nuclear winter and to point out how low the empire had become. The first part of the plan worked just fine, even managing to lock the Empire out of the nuclear launch procedure removing the threat of strikes when it had been realised the crisis was faked. However it turns out most of the Governors had assigned automated safeguards, with the broadcast of a fake missile launch several missiles where launched automatically in retaliation from some of the more aggressive safeguards, this trigged more as real launches where detected and with everyone locked out the network, it used all it could to destroy and counter it's self. Most of the civilization was wiped away leaving a few pockets of survivors desperately fighting each other and the blasted landscape. It would take many centuries to get back to the same level of technology and society that had taken days to be destroyed. Yet during all this a secret project had been awoken, several sleeper colony ships had been developed in secret, full of cryogenically preserved people. Each one had a destination within the solar system and most occupied with willingly picked participants, but some where being used to remove prisoners from the population or less willing people chosen for important tasks and basic labour later on. With the launch of the first nukes a few launched, the ones set up in case of this very situation in the hopes some would survive on other planets. Within a few days they had all launched regardless of situation, now the starts of new colonies had been thrown into space. Now millennia on the various colonies have made contact and trade has started, each unique and brimming with life.
