An alpine paradise, Vitakscia was founded by monks from Olintaq and then supplanted by an early wave of colonists from Viseria, before the planet became dominated by colonials from Dantehvon and Callodo. Vitakscia is a center of art and culture and is a profoundly peaceful place devoted to intellectual and artistic pursuits. The artworks of the Vitakscia Mathenites are legendary and fetch a high price, and their Universities and libraries are known throughout the quadrant for their expansive nature and rare tomes contained within. | An alpine paradise, Vitakscia was founded by monks from Olintaq and then supplanted by an early wave of colonists from Viseria, before the planet became dominated by colonials from Dantehvon and Callodo.

Vitakscia is also home to a race of subterranean aliens that are reptilian in nature, though it is unknown if they are indeed sentient. They have an impressive ability to carve out vast tunnels and perhaps build some simple pieces of art, but the testing of their intelligence has been through scant observation only as one has never been encountered. In a sound political maneuver, the Confederacy states that because reports of their intelligence cannot be confirmed, that the natives of Vitakscia are not sentient, if more intelligent that the average wildlife. | |||

Lowenzu is a vibrant jungle world, and some would say '''too''' vibrant, home to utterly ferocious plant and animal life, that has grown to phenomenal size, suggesting that the planet is still in its mega-fauna stage. Lowenzu has a rich amount of mineral wealth, but in light of its dangerous environment, the resource gathering is centered on the other planets in the system. Instead, the inhabitants of Lowenzu rely on the tourist industry itself, and more recently have become master shipbuilders, building ship both in orbital shipyards and unique oceanic shipyards like the sea-going vessels of old. Because of its shipyards and the surrounding system's vast metal wealth, Lowenzu became the location of the headquarters of the Colonial Authority and the main military base of its forces both naval and ground. Lowenzu today is a venerable fortress, hosting both a large tourism industry and one of the largest shipyards in the alpha quadrant, all protected by the utter might of the Colonial fleet. | |||
====Outer Colonies==== | |||
Colonized much later than the Inner Colonies, the Outer Colonies had been settled for scarcely more than a century when the Confederacy was formed and while they boast impressive resources, these profits did not bring the colonies the vast wealth of their Inner Colony counterparts. Instead, the few of the corporate and political elite reaped the benefits of this new world wealth, and even that was a small fraction of the amount shipped immediately back to the Homeworld or the Inner Colonies. | |||
* '''Cor''': | |||
** '''Date Founded''': 2246 | |||
** '''Population''': 200,000 (Mathenite) 15,000 (Cor Natives) | |||

** '''% of Surface Under Mathenite Control''': 50% | |||
** '''Territories''': Lora Plains, Sundari Flatlands, Hoshara Lowlands | |||
A simple agricultural world, Cor is otherwise unremarkable other than that it is largely the breadbasket of the colonies, and that it too is home to a primitive humanoid species. The world located closest to Breen space, the colony of Cor has long suffered raids by Breen slavers, though these raids have met the full force of the Colonial Authority since the formation of the Confederacy. Still, old grudges over lack of proper protection during these years remain, and many of the coloniest remain embittered.. and armed. | |||
