Zesmeni:
- Orbital Distance: 0.8 AU
- Orbital Period: 1.3 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.303
- Radius: 5,806 km
- Day Length: 37.6 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 0.64 atm
- Surface Temp: −119 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.66 g
- Mass: 0.543 Earth-masses
- Colony: Asari, population 620
Cold, dim, and shrouded by a methane-ammonia atmosphere, Zesmeni has nevertheless attracted development by asari mining concerns that service military industries. There are significant lodes of valuable light metals present, including titanium and lithium. Titanium is the primary material used in mass accelerator slugs, and lithium is used in the military-grade “droplet” heat radiators used aboard warships.

Acaeria:
- Orbital Distance: 1.68 AU
- Orbital Period: 4.0 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.296
- Radius: 6,272 km
- Day Length: 36.2 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: Trace atm
- Surface Temp: −178 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.38 g
- Mass: 0.365 Earth-masses
- Satellites: 1
Though nearly the size of Earth, Acaeria contains only 28% of its mass. It has a trace atmosphere of neon and molecular nitrogen, but the predominant carbon dioxide has long since frozen and fallen to the surface as frost. While Acaeria has a core of heavy metals, the bulk of the planet’s volume consists of water ice. Several unique forms of long-chain carbon molecules have been recovered on the surface, pushed up from beneath the ice by cryovolcanic processes. Acaeria has a large rocky moon, compositionally similar to Luna.

Maisuth:
- Orbital Distance: 2.35 AU
- Orbital Period: 6.6 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.298
- Radius: 3,893 km
- Day Length: 54.7 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: Trace atm
- Surface Temp: −194 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.25 g
- Mass: 0.092 Earth-masses
Farthest from the dim red dwarf Ondeste, the ice dwarf Maisuth has attracted no interest beyond a cursory flyby by automated probe in 1874. No significant resources were noted.
