- Planet Name: Miralon III
- Location: Freeworlds Region, Par'tha Expanse
- Class: J
- System Data: Miralon III has six moons
- Gravity: Variable at altitudes, 1 G at most habitable levels
- Year and Day: 335/26
- Atmosphere: Variable at altitudes, oxygen-nitrogen with Carbon dioxide and argon at most habitable levels; variable pressures at altitudes
- Hydrosphere: Variable at altitudes, water present in different states (solid, liquid, gas) at variable altitudes
- Climate: Variable at altitudes, temperate to tropical at most habitable levels
- Sapient Species: Waleth (about 2.3 Billion), millions of others
- Technological Classification: Rating N on the Richter Scale
- Government: Democracy (Timocracy)
- Culture: Intellectual and calm, with a high regard for reason, and a general goodwill for all species they encounter
- Affiliation: Freeworlds Council Member
- Resources: Although many raw materials are lacking and need to be imported, major resources include agricultural and medicinal products, as well as industrial technology and scientific knowledge
- Places of Note: Seeing as Miralon III is a gas giant, and there is no land to build on, hundreds of artificially constructed anti-gravity cities float within the habitable levels of the planet
- Ship Facilities: Miralon III has two orbiting starports, with modest repair capabilities, and one ship construction facility located on the 2nd moon
- Other Details: For about 30 days every year, when the planet's orbit is at perigee to Miralon, it intersects with the belts of stellar debris, providing weeks of intense sunlight and meteor showers. These spark beautiful yet dangerous atmospheric fires. The light shows are constant and remarkably beautiful. During this period, all agriculture on the farming levels is halted and protective shields are raised. The Waleth enjoy a 30 day holiday, complete with feasting, shopping, celebrations and everything else holidays bring with them. Because of the dangers, the starports are also closed to all but emergency craft, and travel onto and off of the planet is restricted.
