Thissioni:
- Orbital Distance: 1 AU
- Orbital Period: 1 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1
- Radius: 6,039 km
- Day Length: 46.9 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: Trace atm
- Surface Temp: 55 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.95 g
- Mass: 0.845 Earth-masses
Thissioni’s surface is a desert of lime streaked with sodium banks. The only real features of note are empty calderas scattered around the fault lines, suggesting Thissioni was once more geologically active. While average temperatures are near-habitable, Thissioni has not retained a protective atmosphere and is thus a third-tier world unlikely to be terraformed.

Niacal:
- Orbital Distance: 1.9 AU
- Orbital Period: 2.6 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1.015
- Radius: 11,397 km
- Day Length: 35.3 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 2.99 atm
- Surface Temp: 54 °C
- Surface Gravity: 1.27 g
- Mass: 4.025 Earth-masses
- Colony: Asari
Capital: Aurolis, founded 177 CE, population 7,300,000 (pre-invasion; before The Reapers)
Niacal is a lush planet with an overabundance of photosynthetic life, leading to oxygen concentrations greater than on most garden worlds. This is tolerable for a few hours, but soon oxygen toxicity becomes a real danger. Asari colonies here use breathers and sealable buildings.
Niacal’s economy centers on agribusiness and biotechnology. Many genetically modified crops have their origin here.
Aware that the Reapers’ plan of attack is to bombard industrial cities and enslave population centers, Niacal’s soldiers and civilians alike have retreated to the planet’s impenetrable jungles. A terrestrial guerrilla war may not be enough to push the Reapers off the planet, but it has proven successful at immobilizing the enemy and forcing them to commit more resources here for little gain.

Kralla:
- Orbital Distance: 3.1 AU
- Orbital Period: 5.6 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.95
- Radius: 5,879 km
- Day Length: 48.6 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: Trace atm
- Surface Temp: −93 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.57 g
- Mass: 0.481 Earth-masses
After half the crew of a survey ship died in a freak accident, the ship’s captain named this desert planet Kralla, after an ancient asari demon of misfortune.
Kralla is said to delight in thwarting carefully laid plans at the last moment, tipping apparent success toward utter disaster. Legend says she only targets those whose plans are long in the making, an obvious warning against hubris for a race whose plans tend to stretch over centuries.

Egalic:
- Orbital Distance: 6.5 AU
- Orbital Period: 16.6 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.997
- Radius: 69,039 km
- Day Length: 19.2 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: N/A atm
- Surface Temp: N/A °C
- Surface Gravity: N/A g
- Mass: N/A Earth-masses
- Satellites: >1
The system’s only gas giant has rings laced with the faintest traces of Element Zero (“eezo”) dust, likely from an extrasolar asteroid pulverized by a collision with the planet’s moons. Collecting and refining the eezo in dust form is a long and costly process. The Elkoss Combine sought the mineral rights to Egalic from the matriarchs on Thessia, but the Reaper invasion stopped any deal from going through. The equipment here is undamaged by Reapers–the attack on Niacal likely taking priority.
