The Thule Star System is home to the Persean League capital of Kazeron, along with an Independent and pirate market. It also contains many asteroid belts.
Thule, White Dwarf
| The beginning of the end for most stars, the white dwarf was once a red giant not massive enough to fuse carbon. Extremely dense and slowly radiating away its heat as it no longer undergoes fusion reactions, its volume is supported against gravitational collapse only by electron degeneracy pressure. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
- Center of the Thule Star System
Hekla (Thule I), Toxic World
| Carbon and sulfur dioxide gases dominate the atmosphere of this world, making it toxic to all known life. In addition, the gases create a runaway greenhouse effect that increases surface temperature and atmospheric pressures to extremely high levels. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
- Planetary Conditions
- Note that as an uninhabited world, Hekla will have a range of market conditions that changes between playthroughs.
- Toxic Atmosphere: +50% hazard rating.
- Hot: +25% hazard rating.
- Hazard Rating: 175%
- Orbits Thule
Sensor Array
| A Domain-era technology, this is a super-high-resolution passive monitoring array with a transmitter capable of real-time, faster-than-light data transmission within the star system. The data is useful to supplement the regular sensor readings made by fleets. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
- Orbits Thule as Hekla's L4 trojan
The Ingwin (Asteroid Belt I)
- Orbits Thule just inside Laki's orbit
Laki (Thule II), Barren World
| Radiation from the nearby star ravages the surface of this world due to the lack of an atmospheric ozone layer. No significant geological activity. No indigenous life forms. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
- Planetary Conditions
- Note that as an uninhabited world, Laki will have a range of market conditions that changes between playthroughs.
- No Atmosphere: +50% hazard rating.
- Hot: +25% hazard rating.
- Low Gravity: +25% hazard rating & +10% accessibility.
- Hazard Rating: 200%+
- Orbits 'Thule
Hama's Band (Asteroid Belt II)
- Orbits Thule between Laki and Kazeron
Kazeron (Thule III), Barren World, Persean League
| The metal-rich core of a former gas giant whose body was blasted away in some ancient celestial catastrophe, Kazeron is rich in exotic heavy metals. Although unterraformable, this made it a prime spot for the Domain to emplace a cluster of autofactories to feed the Persean frontier's need for ships, equipment, and heavy machinery. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
| The Persean League world of Kazeron always pays its dues in warships - and highly trained officers to command them. Kazeron has a rich tradition of industry and military production which makes it the crux of Persean League power. | ||

Draugr (Thule III-A), Barren-Bombarded World
| A lifeless rocky world, the battered surface tells an aeons-long story of intermittent meteor bombardment. What atmosphere there is clings to the scarred crust in near-vacuum. There is no significant magnetic field or tectonic activity. Deep regolith prevails, crossed by lava channels and spotted by ancient lava seas formed by especially large impacts. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
- Planetary Conditions
- Note that as an uninhabited world, Draugr will have a range of market conditions that changes between playthroughs.
- No Atmosphere: +50% hazard rating.
- Low Gravity: +25% hazard rating & +10% accessibility.
- Hazard Rating: 175%+
- Orbits Kazeron
Kazeron Relay
| A Domain-era technology used primarily on the frontier, this is a hyperwave communications array which transmits and receives data between star systems at faster-than-light speeds. The rapidly pulsing hyperwaves suitable for FTL data transmission have been shown to damage DNA so these relays are always stationed away from habitats. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
- Orbits Thule as Kazeron's L4 trojan
Thule Jump-point
- Orbits Thule as Kazeron's L5 trojan
Inged's Crown (Asteroid Belt III)
- Orbits Thule between Kazeron and Eldfell
Eldfell (Thule IV), Barren World, Independent
| A barren world notable for a cluster of unusually active hyper-volcanos, the Grettir. A thin atmosphere is regenerated entirely through volcanism. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
| Rich ores were once extracted from franchise mines dug around the base of the Grettir hyper-volcano cluster. The main settlement is built on a dormant spur and populated largely by the descendents of robo-jockeys who have found new work in the refineries. The polity is controlled by the common agreement of several Kazeron-dominated industrial combines but is not itself a member of the Persean League due to the expenses membership would impose. | ||
–Secondary Description | ||
- Planetary Conditions
- Population: Eldfell is home to hundreds of thousands of people.
- No Atmosphere: +50% hazard rating.
- Hazard Rating: 150%
- Independent Market
- Orbits Thule
Gate of Thule (Inactive Gate)

–In-Game Description | ||
- Orbits Thule as Eldfell's L4 trojan
Garmund's Ring (Asteroid Belt IV)
- Orbits Thule between Eldfell and Morn
Thulian Raider Base, Pirates
| The Thule system is riddled with prospectors and small-time miners who've escaped the oppressive power-mongering of Kazeron's aristocratic stratocracy to search for independence among the ore and volatiles of the many ring systems. Sometimes these free-agents band together and turn to richer prizes - thus have the Thulian Raiders plagued Kazeron for nearly as long as the system has been inhabited by humans. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
| Despite occasional crackdowns from the League navy, the raiders of Thule always seem to re-accrete a center for their illicit commerce and power-brokering. If one gens paid raiders to injure another, who could say? Those raiders may take a better offer from their assumed target while a Fleet officer might look the other way to injure a rival gens - and thus the cycle continues. | ||
–Secondary Description | ||
- Planetary Conditions
- Population: Tens of thousands of people live on Thulian Raider Base.
