==Tanis System==
 +
=== System overview ===
 +
The '''Tanis''' system is where the so-called Tanite Worlds were settled. It contains four planets: Alexandra, Stacha, Tanis, and Talbot. Tanis was located in the [[Deep Periphery]], near the [[Pentagon Worlds]].<ref name="WoRSp5+"/>
 +
 
 +
=== System history ===
 
Of the four planets in the Tanis system only Talbot was inimical to human life, being a massive gas giant located close to the edge of the system. The system was first discovered by humans in [[2494]] by [[Albert Radulov]], a deep space explorer employed by the [[Rigelian Collective]]. He promptly named the system '''Radulov''', but was subsequently convicted of interstellar fraud, and the details of the location of the Radulov system and the survey information on its worlds gathered by his expedition were promptly lost for several decades as a result.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/>

=== Planetary description ===
 
The innermost world of the Tanis system, Alexandra has large underwater mountain ranges forming a number of long island chains, and almost three quarters of the planet was covered in water. The water itself contained large quantities of arsenic, and Alexandra became home to the majority of the Tanite mining industry and the main heavy factory complex for the system. The factory complex would later be converted to military use.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/>

===Planetary Description===

=== Planetary description ===
 
Locked into an elliptical path roughly opposite to the world of Tanis and at approximately the same proximity from the system star, Stacha was a world suitable for widespread agriculture. The first world in the system to be colonized, Stacha had large swaths of plains and was planted with vast agricultural crops by the citizens of Khartoum, the second colony founded in the system. The original colony, Markham, was the site of the largest spaceport in the system, along with a number of small factories and repair bays, making Stacha an important part of the Tanite shipping network and infrastructure.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/>

Tanis was half-covered with water and provided most of the freshwater used by the population of the three colony worlds. The three major colonies on Tanis were Mockva Central, Punjabi and Yule; Yule was surrounded by pastureland and Punjabi was the center of a large number of fisheries, but Mockva Central was the site of most of the Tanite industry. Outside of the three major colonies were numerous small family compounds, generally numbering less than a hundred people and dotted across the main continent. The major settlements and their outlying supply stations were all connected by broad, raised track beds that were laid down with great precision, running laser-straight between destinations; visible from orbit, these track beds gave Tanis an unusual geometric visual texture.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/>
