Hydrosphere: 62% of the surface of Brennah is covered in water, of which 93% has a salinity of 1%-5%.
Gravity: 87% Standard.
Terrain: Swamps, marshes, tableland forests.
Mineral Resources: Substantial reserves of duranium, lommite, iron, metarr, gold and platinum, though most of the larger veins have been played out.

Capital City: Noruh Brennah
Other Cities: Othuminah, Buru Albin, Lekthem Char, and Mursu are the other large cities of Brennah.
Starport: Buru Albin is home to a large galaxy class port, and that port and it's approach vectors are the only places where space going craft are permitted on Brennah.

System Capsule:

Ishu: A boiling hot world, Ishu is home to a few scientific observatories, and experimental mining colonies.
Bular: Inhabited by Brennai pressure domes since before they developed faster than light travel, Bular is still home to several large domes housing heavy industry installations.
Brennah: See below.
Ulah: Uncomfortably dry for Brennai tastes, Ulah was inhabited briefly during the great population explosion 1.2 million years ago, but has been abandoned since then.
Thebul: The largest planet of the Domian system, Thebul has been heavily mined for it's gasses without leaving any mark at all on it's reserves.
Thu: Not as rich as Thebul, Thu is also home to a few minor mining stations.
Losan: Home of the homeworld defence fleet, Losan is also mined for it's substantial platinum reserves.

Planetary Capsule:

Flora and fauna: The life of Brennah has been shaped by it's long exposure to the Brennai. Urban life forms, such as the Kuran Rat, the Dumahirah fern, and the Loipanai are quite common, and specifically adapted for life in the cities of Brennah. Other native species survive primarily in the parks and nature reserves of the planet, though a few hardy species such as the Grey winged gull, the bluerenok and the iron mole can be found in those unprotected regions unsuited for development for one reason or another.

Sentient Species: The tall, extremely intelligent and extremely xenophobic Brennai are the surviving native species of Brennah. There is some evidence that other races shared the world with the Brennai during their earliest prehistory, but they were wiped out millions of years ago.

History: The Brennai are an ancient race, which has avoided the cycle of expansion and collapse that marks so many interstellar civilizations, primarily due to the fact that the nature of their technology limits them to a single small nebula. Brennah has been the center of Brennai civilization since time immemorial. Home of the Council of Elders, the shadowy rulers of the Brennai, Brennah is also home to the largest population of the nebula, and even after all the years of civilization, the industrial capacity of the Domian system is somewhat larger than that of just about any of the other systems of the nebula.

The power of Brennah has waxed and waned over the years, as the capital of the Brennai central authority. During those years where power spread out to other loci of control, Brennah lost power and population, and when the power was gathered into the hands of the Council, Brennah's star rose. The Hered Na Brennah, the mammoth flagship of the Brennai fleet was built in the Domian system during the last period of revolt against the council, and that flagship has helped concentrate power in the Brennah system.

The trillions of Brennai on the homeworld mostly live a few giant cities. Thousands of meters high, these cities are composed of interlocked buildings of white duraplast, with flowing, organic lines. The size of these structures and there shapes would certainly produce an awareness of intense alieness on any sighted races, but no non-Brennai have ever seen the cities of the homeworld, and as long as Brennai power stands, none ever will.
