: Theta 122 serves as the safest location in the Isles for refugees retreating from the advancing Sheliak. Neither a particularly hospitable or resource-rich world, the only real thing to recommend the small planet is its location out of the way of the Sheliak - for a while at least. It is also home to Atlas Base, and the location outside of Starfleet-protected space makes it prime for conducting the kind of research that escapes the watchful eye of Federation research review boards.

; [[Atlas Base]] | |||
: A small base on the surface of Theta 122, commissioned by [[Frederick Immelmann]]. Acting as the administrator to a colony fitted for approximately one hundred, the base was designed to conduct research on and around Theta 122. The base itself is tiny; unlike most other Federation installations, it was designed for compactness and functionality, with limited amenities. Designed principally to conduct science, it is positioned near water and food resources to maximize the power available for research. The base itself is poorly defended, and depends on its small size and relative obscurity for protection. Its minute resources are stretch nearly to the breaking point with the influx of refugees coming to the planet, creating a certain amount of tension between the inhabitants of the base and the ''Arrow''. | |||
; [[Venthis (planet) | Venthis]] | |||
: An M-class planet home to the [[Venthis]] people, Venthis is located in the Almrada cluster. The planet is scarred terribly from centuries-long conflict of warring cities states, and a massive debris field of spent weaponry, satellites, and miscellaneous waste orbits the planet. The planet has finally achieved peace, but how it was achieved and whether it will last remain to be seen. | |||
; [[The Well]] | ; [[The Well]] | ||
: A spatial phenomena close to Theta 122. It's an area of intense gravimetric distortions and anomalies. It's so disruptive to ships' navigation and propulsion most races of the Alpha Isle's avoid it and give it a wide berth. In [[Evading Mist (Arrow)]], the ''USS Arrow'' was chased into The Well by the Sheliak vessel ''Ikries''. Narrowly avoiding the intense gravimetric disturbances, the Arrow 'sling-shotted' around an anomaly with enough speed to be expelled from the area and back on course to Theta 122. | : A spatial phenomena close to Theta 122.
