<strong>The Mextil Cluster</strong><br/><br/><br/>(http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq125/1460311/MextilCluster.png)<br/><br/><strong>Ares:</strong>The Ares system is a very small system, which has the Lucretia gate as its only notable feature.<br/>-Ares Prime: This cold planet orbits the feeble sun of the Ares system.  It is an icy world, covered in trenches, battle fortresses, and laser silos.  It has an orbital dock called Attica station, and is flanked by the Marathon and Phaleron orbital defense platforms, and is the base of the Imperial Navy in the Mextil Cluster.  Tithe Grade: Aptus Non<br/><br/><strong>Allapa:</strong>Allapa is a neutron star cooled to levels where heavily armored and void shielded ships can approach the surface of the star itself.  The dense hypermatter within the star has many impressive technological uses, though the mining is hazardous.  The star is orbited by a single planet, the very core of the star itself, ejected and pulled in by gravitational pull during the supernova.<br/>-Pacha Camac: A signifigant portion of the surface of this planet is made of iron, and indeed, mineral rich hardly serves justice to this ball of rock.  As fiendishly radioactive as it is, the rock alone could supply enough resources to build an entire fleet of starships before it's tapped out.  Tithe Grade: Exactis Tertius<br/><br/><strong>Anomaly 317:</strong>Between Xilohen and Toci, there is a neutron star with a massive presence in the warp.  The system appears to be empty, save for the wrecks of ships that tried to go to warp in the system or inadvertently ended up there thanks to its strange pull on Navigators.  Many tried to figure out what was causing the disaster, and after much loss of life, a massive black sphere some 50 million kilometers in diameter was located about a light year from the neutron star.  The sphere is featureless, devoid of entrances, and seems impervious to all forms of attack.  Some have speculated that it's a dyson sphere, but it's just a little too small to properly fit the bill.  The system is generally avoided at all costs, though it is paradoxically easy to get to, but hard to get to alive.<br/><br/><strong>Atzlan:</strong>The Atzlan system is a binary system with two main sequence stars.  The outer orbits are occupied by three gas giants.  Chicomoztoc, a supergiant with seven small moons and a gravitational pull comparable to a sun, Tepenaca, a gas giant with an outer layer composed mostly of helium, and Aubin, a gas giant with massive, icy rings.<br/>-Yacatec: The planet yacatec is devastatingly radioactive, leading some to suspect a xeno civilization might have evolved here and destroyed themselves with atomics.  Nobody really wants to bother to check.  Tithe Grade: Decuma Particular<br/>-Tomacat is a beautiful terran world with catastrophic seasonal variations timed to a twenty year cycle.  The difficulty of developing a culture capable of thriving on the planet without conflict has delayed colonization of the potentially lucurative world.  Tithe Grade: Solutio Prima<br/><br/><strong>Chantico:</strong>Chantico is a trinary system with three red giant stars, all orbiting precariously.  Improbably, there are three extremely fine planets within the system, and it was selected as the subsector capital.<br/>-Metzl: A rocky world with abundant mineral resources, and vast salt plains.  Tithe grade: Solutio Prima<br/>-Xolotl: A world with fertile soils which is nearly 80% land, all of it habitable.  A true paradise world.  Tithe Grade: Exactis Tertius<br/>-Supay: A hot world with little water, but impressive reserves of many rare materials.  Tithe Grade: Solutio Extremis<br/><br/><strong>Chasca:</strong>The Chasca system has a massive presence in the warp, yet while some of the systems in the Mextil cluster lack planets, the Chasca system has no star.  The worlds of the system are frozen, and contain the ruins of a lost xeno civilization.  At the time the Mextil Cluster lost contact with the Imperium, the Chasca system was under Ordo Xenos quarantine, used only as a warp stop for making the difficult passage around anomaly 317.<br/><br/><strong>Chiconahui Nebula:</strong>Chiconahui is a young solar system in the very early stages of formation, not even quite forming a star yet.  There's a hot protostellar core to the nebula, but it's millions of years away from igniting into a star.  For now, the area is a hazardous expanse of matter, filled with asteroids and impenetrable gas clouds.  It's a major navigational hazard, particularly since the entire area seems to stir up the warp fiercely, forcing it to be crossed in realspace.<br/><br/><strong>Coniraya:</strong>Coniraya is a red giant which blasted most of its worlds apart in its unusually violent stellar expansion.  The system is a vast asteroid field, with one inhabitable planet in a stable orbit.<br/>-Pacha: The planet Pacha is a hot, sandy planet with a surface about 40% water.  The planet is notable for its population of monkey-like creatures who make good entertainment and menial labor, and the beauty of its avian life.  Tithe Grade: Solutio Tertius<br/><br/><strong>Ekkeko:</strong>Ekkeko is a young star with but a single planet orbiting it, in strange parallel to Mictlan.  The system has absolutely no stellar debris in it, leading to speculation that the system was somehow "harvested" for mineral resources by some long ago civilization, or more cheerfully, perhaps the Emperor's Great Crusade.<br/>-Ekkeko: Unlike Mictlan, Ekkeko's planet is in perfect orbit for life,  and the planet's landmasses are covered in a massive layer of forests to absorb the radiation of its sun.  Cultivation of food on the planet is difficult, and the planet was left to a primitive tribal civilization, who grew various luxury crops for the Imperial colony in exchange for food shipments.   Tithe Grade: Solutio Prima<br/><br/><strong>Inti:</strong>Inti is a very Sol like system orbited by five gas giants, the closest of which hangs in the life zone.  Its three planet sized moons orbit the giant, and can potentially support life.  Manco, Occlo, Punchau, and Sinuhe are the four outlying giants of the system.  Cuzco is the closest gas giant, which is orbited by the following moons:<br/>-Coyllur: A hot world with no atmosphere, making it into a sterile ball of rock.  Tithe Grade: Aptus Non<br/>-Apuya: A molten volcano world with an unbreathable carbon dioxide based atmosphere.  Tithe grade: Solutio Tertius<br/>-Cocha: Watery world inhabited by a primitive xeno species called the Skrah.  They have a fuedal level of technology, but their entire planet is ruled by a single government.  Threat Rating: Xeno Minoris<br/><br/><strong>Jaeltheron:</strong>The Jaeltheron system has two habitable planets, and a smallish gas giant called Malatzinca,which has over twenty moons.  The system has amazingly well cultivated gravity currents, thanks to Eldar engineering.  The Eldar own the system, but many colonization attempts were made in order to attempt to justify an exterminatus.<br/>-Herenyonnen: Home to a colony of Eldar, Herenyonen is a wild paradise of a planet, and also the site of an attempt to live alongside the xenos in peace.  Peace was maintained for 30 years before contact was lost with the sector.  Threat Rating: Xenos Minoris<br/>-Imratheon: An Eldar maiden world of the highest caliber, Imratheon is truly paradise, with fantastic floating continents, trees that stretch for miles in the air, and vast oceans with even more continents floating inside massive air bubbles within.  The Eldar will fight to the death to keep any human from setting foot on the planet, and it is well and truly infested.  Threat Rating: Xenos Majoris<br/><br/><strong>Macuil:</strong>The Macuil system is a dead wreck of a system, already past its supernova, most of its matter cast to the stellar winds.  The system is filled with massive skull shaped constructs that transmit screams and sounds of agony constantly via every communications medium known to man, including psychic contact.<br/>-Ahuia: The lone planet of Ahuia greatly resembles the skeleton of a planet, most of its surface pulled or burned away by various catastrophes, revealing the dark metal ruins of some cthonic civilization below.  The planet has a breathable atmosphere, though radiation levels are insanely high.  Nobody has ever been known to gain access to the ruins, which seem to be able to resist even orbital bombardment.  Nobody ever seems to get a good feeling from the menacing obelisks, though...<br/><br/><strong>Mictlan:</strong>Mictlan is a feeble young star with a single ball of ice orbiting it incredibly close but not quite close enough.  The system has a minimal accretion disk around it, barely enough to even impede navigation.  There are, however, a few large asteroids slowly developing into protoplanets.<br/>-Mictlan: The planet of Mictlan is covered in ice and permafrost, with no known native multicellular life.    It's about as boring as it is hostile to life.  The equatorial region resembles the polar ice cap of a more reasonable planet.   Tithe Grade: Solutio Minimis<br/><br/><strong>Ometotch:</strong>The Ometotch system is a young one, with a dense accretion disk and a great deal of meteorite activity.  Navigation amidst the asteroid field is dangerous, though the gas giant Paynal provides a decent mining site for any enterprise willing to brave the asteroids, or simply wanting privacy.<br/>-Tepictot: Tepictot is a planet with a surface composed mostly of  ice and frozen nitrogen and oxygen several hundred miles thick at the perephery of the system.  It is an excellent source of water and air, but useful for precious little else, thanks to the complete lack of an atmosphere.  Tithe Grade: Solutio Minimis<br/>-Disibeyaz: The largest accretion of rock in the system is known as Disibeyaz.  It's a massive world, and has a gravitational pull at least three times that of Terran gravity.  Whatever secrets the planet holds, its gravity has made them hard to find, and few survey teams have spent more than a week or so on the planet before leaving.  Tithe Grade: No grade given<br/>-Temazcaltec:The sole "habitable" world of Ometotch has a nice comfy nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere mixed with weather patterns that regularly create wind speeds of over 800 kilometers an hour.  Even landing a lander on the planet is almost impossible, and there's very little to land on, because of the lack of landmasses.  The few areas of Temazcaltec that aren't covered in a roiling ocean are generally lethal hellscapes of flying glass shards, or twisting cave systems that regularly fill with water at high enough pressure to cut through armorplas.  Tithe Grade: Aptus Non<br/><br/><strong>Parlacca:</strong>The Parlacca system is a main sequence star orbited by 9 gas giants which don't even have names, and a lonely planet perched perfectly in the life zone.<br/>-Zara: The planet Zara is a very nice terrestrial world, with extremely large variations in elevation, and unstable plate tectonics.  Colonization will only be possible when the geological problems are dealt with, and that will require securing planetary warp routes against the Eldar.<br/><br/><strong>Toci:</strong>Toci is a main sequence star with two habitable planets, though the system is mysteriously free of stellar debris, much like Ekkeko.<br/>-Ehecatl: The planet Ehecatl is a verdant and thriving jungle world, but with amazingly deadly viruses.  Even ships that land on the planet have been known to have their internal parts eaten away by the powerful microorganisms of the planet.  Even the inevitable research lab to try and create improved virus weaponry keeps falling apart every year or so, but that doesn't stop the Imperium from trying.  Tithe Grade: Exactis Particular<br/>-Camaxtl: The planet Camaxtl is a beautiful jungle world prone to occasional epidemics from its sister planet.  Unlike the life on Ehecatl, life on Camaxtl has absolutely no immunity to the viruses from the void, and suffers mass extinction events every couple of centuries or so.  Colonization has been delayed until a plan to deal with the regular mass extinctions can be made.  Tithe Grade: Solutio Prima<br/><br/><strong>Tzitzime:</strong>The Tzitzime system is a neutron star orbited by a massive gas supergiant called Gassa.  The moons of Gassa are barren and devoid of life, but they have breathable atmospheres, and evidence of fungal growth on one of the moons.<br/><br/><strong>Viracocha:</strong>Viracocha is a young star with no fully developed rocky planets yet.  It still has a thin dust corona, though the outer edge of the system bears a well developed gas giant.<br/>-Urcaguary: A gas giant with wide, icy rings and massive concentrations of gasses useful in building las weapons.  Establishing colonies here would be like child's play, and they would quickly become quite profitable.  The abundant fuel and mineral resources in the system also make large scale agricultural stations a possibility.  Tithe Grade: Solutio Prima<br/><br/><strong>Xilohen:</strong>Just like Ekkeko and Toci, Xilohen has absolutely no accretion disk, just a single very habitable planet.<br/>-Xilohen: Although it is located a bit far from its parent star, Xilohen has a very thick atmosphere with a high carbon dioxide concentration that makes it a very warm planet with remarkable reserves of water.  Perfect, then, for an Agri world.   Tithe Grade: Exactis Tertius<br/>
