Summary:

The Nialone System was once the primary system in the Spica Region. Originally the wormhole was built here connecting it to the other regions. Nialone quickly grew and numerous oceanside cities, capitalizing off the planet's warm weather, became resort towns. Nialone was destined not to stay that way, as quickly as the wormhole was built it was moved by the United Worlds to Daliasunta. Angered by this Nialone gave up its Council World status and dropped out of the United Worlds altogether. The tourists who once flocked to this system saw it as unstable and the economy suffered, and soon even the population was declining. Many still blame the United Worlds for destroying the system.


	Nialone B
	Planet B is small iron rich world scorched by the nearby sun. The planet is known for a ship that crashed there carrying tourists on a tour of the solar system. It is said that nobody survived the crash yet many of the bodies were never found.



	Nialone C A vast dry desert world that is slowly dying. What's left of the planet's thin atmosphere is slowly being blown away into space. Numerous underground complexes are built into the one of the planet's large mountain ranges.


	Nialone D
	Planet D is a large terrestrial world sitting under a thick carbon atmosphere. The world is a fairly standard runaway greenhouse planet.



	Nialone E The planet Nialone E has undergone an economic downturn during the last century. The planet was once the jewel of the Spica Region but now has a shrinking population. Endless jungles stretch across the surface sitting under a warm humid atmosphere. Acropolis City is the capital, perched high above the central ocean. The city was once a popular resort destination, until the region's wormhole was moved to Daliasunta; destroying the planet's economy.


	Nialone F A large gas giant orbiting on the outside of the system.
