The Universe

Currently, there are two inhabited galaxies (that we know of) in the universe. Sol, the solar system man has lived in for thousands of years, and Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to our Sun. Both systems are filled with space stations and several newly constructed planets.

Sol
Sol, formerly known simply as 'The Solar System', has nearly doubled it's number of planets since the first days of space travel, reaching a total of 9 habitable planets:


 * Earth: The original inhabited planet, Earth has dried and warmed up quite a bit over the years, helped along by the cocktail of radioactive materials floating in the atmosphere and in most major water sources.


 * Venus: Earth's sister planet looks entirely different now that nearly all of the poisonous, sulfurous gases in the atmosphere have been siphoned off and put to more useful purposes. It is exceptionally well forested, with a warm climate and several large seas.


 * Mars: Mars took several years longer than planned to make habitable, and even now, the soil remains reddened and mostly arid. There are areas of fertile soil near where the ice caps once were and along the rivers that riddle the planet's surface. The dormant volcano, Olympus Mons, is now the home to a Tolkien-esque mountain town built directly up its sides.


 * Jupiter: Calling this area 'Jupiter' is a slight misnomer, as the only livable portion is a massive space station circling the swirling core of the gas giant. This place was once home to only gas miners and their families, but recently several new sections have been added on, making room for a new wave of immigration.


 * Poseidon: An early planet construction project gone wrong, hundreds of billions of gallons of water were added to increase the surface of the planet, which soon froze over, forming a harsh surface environment, but a sheltered ocean world underneath. There are only a few outposts on the surface to provide transit to the metropolises beneath the surface.
