Nauti:
- Orbital Distance: 0.7 AU
- Orbital Period: 0.5 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1.372
- Radius: 10,081 km
- Day Length: 54.4 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 78.03 atm
- Surface Temp: 1,300 °C
- Surface Gravity: 1.42 g
- Mass: 3.521 Earth-masses
Nauti is a rocky planet with a crushing atmosphere. Thick clouds have created a runaway greenhouse effect, locking in the brutal heat from its yellow-white star, Vernio. Much of Nauti’s surface is brittle rock with deposits of molten metal.

Promavess:
- Orbital Distance: 1.4 AU
- Orbital Period: 1.3 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1.624
- Radius: 6,563 km
- Day Length: 57.1 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 19.19 atm
- Surface Temp: 633 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.82 g
- Mass: 0.862 Earth-masses
(2186 A.D. entry)
Within three years, Promavess will slam into a neighboring planet, Sotera, and suffer an apocalyptic transformation. Asari explorers searching for life in Promavess’s hydrocarbon morass were relieved to find none. Promavess’s methane-ethane atmosphere is likely to ignite when it mingles with Sotera’s oxygen, and both planets will shatter under the force of the collision.
2189 Update: The collision occurred, igniting the atmosphere and shattering the planet, as expected, leaving many asteroids, some large enough that they may end up becoming neighboring worlds’ moons some day.

Sotera:
- Orbital Distance: 1.4 AU
- Orbital Period: 1.2 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1.906
- Radius: 5,069 km
- Day Length: 22.4 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 1.62 atm
- Surface Temp: 219 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.71 g
- Mass: 0.445 Earth-masses
(2186 A.D. entry)
Sotera’s atmosphere retains a modest amount of oxygen, but it is too hot to support life that relies on liquid water. This is fortunate, because projections show that Sotera will collide with Promavess, a planet crossing its orbit, within the next three years. The impact is expected to pulverize both worlds while forming new asteroids and moons. The asari have constructed research stations at safe distances to record this rare event.

Tritogenith:
- Orbital Distance: 10.8 AU
- Orbital Period: 27.3 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1.69
- Radius: 52,103 km
- Day Length: 11.3 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 asari have set up research stations on the largest moon of Tritogenith, a gas giant, in order to observe the eventual collision of Promavess and Sotera. A Reaper troop transport can be seen here, indicating that the Reapers sent a small force to capture or kill the station’s staff. Why they did not destroy the station outright is a mystery. It could be that the direct collision of two planets is so rare that even the Reapers wish to observe the results.

Polissa:
- Orbital Distance: 18.3 AU
- Orbital Period: 60.2 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1.691
- Radius: 51,136 km
- Day Length: 15.5 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: N/A atm
- Surface Temp: N/A °C
- Surface Gravity: N/A g
- Mass: N/A Earth-masses
- Satellites: 26
Polissa is a ringed gas giant composed of hydrogen, helium, and traces of ammonia. It has 26 moons, but the asari extracted the most valuable resource deposits from all of them long ago. The facilities have largely been forgotten in the face of greater excitement among the system’s inner planets.
