Gaia (also known as Gaia Prime or Earth II) is a planet in the Gaian system of Sector 117. It has a single moon, named Karazon.

The Homeworld of House Fanel

For the most part, Gaia is an M-class planet with similar vegetations to Earth, a large ocean, though half and half ratio compared to Earth that has 70% in ocean. The urban areas are the typical advanced settings you would see in any highly developed civilizations, but there are many parts that preserved the nature to emphasize that Gaia is a paradise, not just some techno planet.

House Fanel had named this planet Gaia, name of the Greek Goddess meaning "land" or in all technicality, another name for "Earth". Since no major power would dare to risk ships to lay claim to this unstable area surrounding the Gaian system, House Fanel was able to enjoy living undisturbed from outside problems until they decided to go out of their new home system and bring back technology to advanced themselves. Though in anticipation of any of the more aggressive powers in the quadrant, House Fanel had developed their own defenses, and a star force. There is no actual accounting by any of the major powers on the strength of the Fanelian Star Force and entire military, but based on the structure on how House Fanel operates, any individual man and woman of House Fanel is fully trained and capable of fighting in the name of his or her House. That being said, the total number of fighters, defenders, and serviceman in the Gaia system can literally range from thousands to millions.

Every major city on Gaia has a constant dampening field to prevent the usage of particle weapons of any kind within the cities. It is a way to enforce the law against modern weapons. Hence this also prolongs the tradition of the way of the sword.

Non-human life on Gaia

Aside from Species of lifeforms from the other worlds of the major power that decided to live on Gaia and within the little empire of Fanel, there are a number of native species on the main planet which would surprise many people. They each share characteristics of animals of Earth. Tigers, Wolves, Bulls apparently had taken a more humanoid form and are very sentient. Some have chosen to accept the wonders of modern technology and lived in the many cities and even are apart of military and all forms of civilization. Then there are some who are more to themselves. The interesting question is how these life forms came about on a planet such as Gaia, and how they are so similiar to their more feral cousins DNA wise. Besides their obvious similiarities to actual animals with no sentient, these other species on Gaia are more like other races and are respected as such. Many are even part of the Fanel blood line, not the main one, but part of it.
