Summary:
Those traveling
from the Izar region to the Polaris region, not using the wormhole, will pass through the Semus system before entering the center of Polaris. Semus is a five planet system with its primary world the
second planet from the sun, a dry desert world with a large ocean. The system lies in a strategic military area,
making it one of the rare worlds where the United Worlds keeps a permanent
military force. Clashes between the United Worlds and the locals have
occurred numerous times in the past, as they view the UW as an imperial force.

Semus C
A large dry
world with a southern ocean. Tensions on Semus C have been high for
many years because of the Military presence that the United Worlds keeps on
the planet. The system sits in an important area with connections to
three regions (Polaris, Izar, and Hercules), thus the reason there is a
permanent military force. The residents of Semus view the UW presence
as imperialism, and have violently fought against them multiple times.

Semus D
A mysteriously
dry world sitting outside the habitable zone. The planet contains very
little ice even deep below the surface, leaving a mystery to why there isn't
any water here. One theory is that the planet was destroyed long after
the system formed, leaving an asteroid belt that formed back into the
current planet.
