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.

sphere of influence.
Temperature: 121% 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.
Planetary Capsule:
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.
