The oldest, wealthiest and most prosperous Mathenite colonies (also those located closest to the Homeworld) these colonies were the first worlds settled by enterprising Mathenites centuries ago. With the rise of the Confederacy, these colonies were the first to unify their separate colonial territories into a single planetary colonial government. In response to their loyalty, these colonies were granted 'Homeworld' designation, in reflection of their age, high population and their own foundation of extrasolar colonies. These colonies also have a limited form of autonomy (especially Viseria) in the form of limited self governance. | |||

The first extrasolar Mathenite colony, Viseria was first settled from Republic of Qcin, though they were quickly followed by Diserik colonists from Ollintaq. A population competition ensued, which is why Viseria is such a populous world, and boasts very high birthrates, and formerly had the largest migrant population in the colonies. This demographic competition came to a tentative halt with the influx of Montrek refugees, that split the colony into 45% Ollintaqi, 43% Qcin, and 8% Hellus Montrek. Viseria is the wealthiest and most prosperous Mathenite colony, with great natural beauty and impressive cities and public works financed by these profits. Viseria's wealth and large population effectively secured it some autonomy, and was formerly the most fiercely independent Mathenite colony. For this reason, Viseria has some self government, though this is a very empty gesture in the face of the potential (though not used) powers of the Colonial Authority. | The first extrasolar Mathenite colony, Viseria was first settled from Republic of Qcin, though they were quickly followed by Diserik colonists from Ollintaq.

A plant largely covered in desert and arid regions, Edek was founded by intrepid Rheghenda Natives of both varities. The planet is entirely controlled by the Mathenites but sparsely populated, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of the Rheghenda. There is also a small, isolated and primitives population of natives on the planet in a similar stage of development to early humanoids. They are isolated from the rest of the planet on a small island off the coast of the western continent and have shown no sign of venturing forth into the world. Given the slow evolution of such proto-societies, it may be that the Mathenites might be gone before the Edek natives even master fire or simple tools. | A plant largely covered in desert and arid regions, Edek was founded by intrepid Rheghenda Natives of both varities.

An exotic and beautiful planet with a largely tropical climate, Jieran is home to a diverse and unique biosphere of flora and fauna that can be used to make exotic luxury products. The planet's vast mineral wealth, unique life, and location as a 'Jump Point' for further colonization attempts made it an almost instant target of a Mathenite colonization boom. Upon making First Contact with the Jieran natives on the cusp of their first warp flight, the Mathenites negogiated rights to a small island off the western continent, later named New Harquon. Among the Jeiran nations there existed two power blocs, and exploiting this tension, the Mathenites negotiated plants for a joint invasion of the power bloc in opposition to the pro-Mathenite group. Making a massive land grab and carving out a vast new empire on Jieran, the Mathenites seized nearly a third of the planet in less than two years. | |||
As the conquered land became developed, even more Mathenites poured into Jieran's recently vacated territories, and they developed a very lucrative tourist and luxury industry, supported by farming unique substances and rich mining opportunities. The Jieran natives in these territories rapidly fled in the face of Mathenite colonists and to this day, over 70% of the Jieran native population lives on the side of the planet not controlled by the Mathenites. Those that remain are treated fairly by the Mathenite Colonial Authority, though tend to be relegated to menial tasks. They are also citizens, though are deprived of the vote in the Confederacy elections, and are only allotted a fixed number of the seats in the new Jieran Assembly, though they make up nearly half the population of the Mathenite Colonial Territories. | |||

Utaru is the Mathenite colony located closest to Cardassian space and boasts a small population of both Cardassians and Bajorans. Utaru is linked to the outer Jieran System by a subspace corridor, which is why, despite it being farther than the Mathenite Homeworld than all other colonies save the Outer Colonies and Nuradem, it has a Homeworld designation. Utaru grew rich from mining and trade, and the export of a rare isotope of the rare element Bilitrium, which can be used as a potent energy source. During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, a sizable number of Bajoran refugees came to Utaru, living in refugee camps and accepted as guests of the new Mathenite Confederacy, eager to twist any dagger they could in the side of their old enemy, the Cardassians. After the occupation ended, most returned to Bajor, and even more returned after the end of the Dominion War. During this time, Utaru also became a haven for expatriate Cardassian dissidents and many enjoyed a comfortable existence as guests of the state. Like the Bajoran community, most have since returned to Cardassia, though many have remained, liking their comfortable lives on the wealthy Mathenite world. | |||
