System Capsule:

Materus: This incredibly hot world is the system's primary source of Transuranics and Hyperbarides. The Mines of this world are run by the Imperialized Mining Ventures Limited, known for it's employment of alien and genetically modified workers for extreme conditions.
Yeroom: Home to the administrative sections of Guruk System Yards, Yeroom is a hot and uncomfortable planet, with no substantial mineral reserves of any type.
Hulri: See below
Adrai: An agricultural world of immense fertility, Adrai serves as a source of food and water for the Guruk facilities and personal.
Oromanse: A frigid planet, Oromanse has numerous core taps, which bring the planet's substantial reserves of iron and nickel to the surface, where they are shipped to Lander, to supplement that planet's reserves. Also home to a tiny Yaeger monitoring station, which keeps track of the activities of the Lander shipyard.
Lander: See below
Orbine: Less massive than Lander, Orbine's high oxygen gasses are mined, and shipped out in container ships for use in the Lander construction facilities.

Hulri

Type: Astrospace Development and Research.
Region: Border Regions.
Trade Route: Guruk feeder to the Yaeger Central Path.
Sector: Yaeger Sector.
Strategic Location: Toward the center of the Imperial sphere of influence.
Temperature: 121% standard.
Atmosphere: Standard, with slightly larger than normal oxygen concentrations.
Hydrosphere: 24% of the surface of Hulri is covered in water, 94% of which has a salinity between 21% and 27%.
Gravity: 96% standard
Terrain: Plains, rolling hills, salt flats.
Mineral Resources: Some reserves of iron, copper, and sulfur, substantial amounts of Hulrite, an attractive ornamental sandstone.
Length of Day: 25.2 standard hours.
Length of Year: 350 local days.
Sapient Species: None native.
Capital City: The T-98 testing facility is the largest of the complexes built on the planet, though all administrative tasks are handled on Yeroom.
Other Cities: Numerous testing facilities and research laboratories are scattered across the planet. The RK-818 Cyclotron, the CRS-Post flight analysis center and the K-0T Launch Facility are three of the most important such facilities on Hulri.
Starport: The planet houses numerous small planetary and landing class ports. The K-0T launch facility is essentially a very large galaxy class port with numerous scientific monitoring facilities, and the salt flats are used as massive landing strips, with twelve of Guruk System Yard's Victory Class Star Destroyers having been parked on one of the larger flats at once.
Population (within +/- 1%): 398,012 scientist, 2,155,872 droids, 7 military garrisons.
Government: The Guruk system is under the direct control of the Ministry of Scientific Development, and is organized under Imperium bureaucracy, with a Executive Director, Likon Grimes, in control of the system's activity.
Tech Level: High Space. Most of the Imperium's Astrospace research is conducted here, with smaller field testing facilities scattered across the sector.
Major Exports: Designs, Prototypes, and blueprints.
Major Imports: Personnel, food, water, raw materials, manufactured goods, scientific equipment.

Flora and fauna: Hulri is home to nothing more advanced than a few primitive micro-organisms, as it's salt saturated plains have proven highly inhospitable to most forms of life.

Sentient Species: None.

History: As soon as Moff Doran realized the strength of the Yaeger, he realized that he would need a shipyard, for the maintenance and repair of the his fleet. As the Yaeger War dragged on, the facilities at Lander expanded, in order to allow for the construction of new vessels. When Moff Rulduk came to control, he realized that he could expect no further help from the Empire, and realized that his Imperium was in danger of falling behind the Yaeger in technical development. To prevent that, he created the Ministry of Scientific Development.

The Hulri facility was the logical partner to the by then massive Lander Shipyards. Reorganized as Guruk System Yards, the Yards have begun production of new designs, such as the Warlord Class Star Destroyer, Cordon Class Carriers, the Firestorm Fast Attack Transport, and other vehicles. The various Hulri facilities have designed craft that keep the Imperium on a developmental par with the Yaeger and the New Republic.

Because of the importance of the planets of Guruk system to the Imperium, security measures are taken to the extreme. All traffic to and from the system must pass through an Imperium Investigation Authority checkpoint, Mobile Defence Platform A-90, where IIA investigations of the crew and cargo usualy take around a week, and the 20 capital vessel Imperium Second fleet is in constant patrol of the system, under the command of Admiral Zhin Abiara.

Lander

Type: Mining, Starship Manufacturing.
Region: Border Regions.
Trade Route: Guruk feeder to the Yaeger Central Path.
Sector: Yaeger Sector.
Strategic Location: Toward the Center of the Imperial Sphere of Influence.
Temperature: 5648% standard, in the core.
Atmosphere: Primarily Methane and Carbon Monoxide, with large quantities of impurities.
Hydrosphere: No surface or atmospheric water.
Gravity: 1,458% standard
Terrain: Increasingly dense gas cloud.
Mineral Resources: High quantities of Tibiana gas, Hydrotenibrium, and Rholos gas. The three rings of the planet are highly metallic in nature, having vast reserves of iron, titanium, gold, platinum, and other precious metals.
Length of Day: 786 standard hours.
Length of Year: 2,458 local days.
Sapient Species: None.
Capital City: The only settlements on Lander are on orbital platforms and shipyards outside of it's ring's orbital planes. The largest of these facilities is Capital Dock 12, where up to two Imperial Class Star Destroyers can be constructed as once.
Other Cities: There are 27 Construction docks, and 12 Repair docks. In addition, there are 7 large ore refineries.
Starport: All of the construction and repair docks can act as starports, though only the repair docks have facilities to deal with the crews of operational ships.
Population (within +/- 1%): 744,982 humans, 320,451,980 droids.
Government: The Guruk system is under the direct control of the Ministry of Scientific Development, and is organized under Imperium bureaucracy, with a Executive Director, Likon Grimes, in control of the system's activity.
Tech Level: High Space. The Lander Construction facilities are among the finest in the galaxy, though they are dwarfed in size and capacity by many other facilities.
Major Exports: Starships.
Major Imports: Personnel, designs, droids, food, water, some raw materials.

Planetary Capsule:

Flora and fauna: None.

Sentient Species: None.

History: Originally slated to be a mining world, Lander was picked by Moff Doran as the ideal site for site for a repair and resupply station for his fleet, due to it's vast mineral resources, and it's close proximity to the farmlands of Adrai. The facilities gradually expanded, as the Yaeger War dragged on, without having their growth curtailed by any of the administrations that the Imperium went through.

The ships produced at the Lander facility were originally shipped out by tugs or container ships, to be crewed and officially launched at other facilities, but after a Yaeger Pirate hijacked a pair of much needed Imperial Class Star Destroyers, virtually all craft are crewed and launched from the docks at which they were built.

The facilities for the engineers and laborers on the Lander docks are comfortable, but highly secure, with constant monitoring of all facets of their lives, and an IIA caseworker for every twenty laborers, and several Shadow Dragons have gotten agents into the construction facilities, and then losing several Knights to the Imperial Security Forces.
