Imir is a gateway system, and is classified as a G-class star.
The recycling facilities of Korlus drive much of the development in the region, though a seedy reputation does no wonders for its tourism and galactic image. Ships inbound to the system use Quodis as a discharge point, but travel advisories recommend armed escorts from the Korlus Security Fleet due to rampant piracy levels.

Osalri:
- Orbital Distance: 0.6 AU
- Orbital Period: 0.5 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.864
- Radius: 2,622 km
- Day Length: 33.4 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 1.86 atm
- Surface Temp: 229 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.1 g
- Mass: 0.017 Earth-masses
Osalri (Covus salarian – “fire maiden”) is a boiling hot dwarf planet close to the G-class star Imir. Too hot for lucrative exploitation, its only satellites are defunct solar arrays destroyed by pirates long ago.

- Keplerian Ratio: 0.976
- Radius: 6,850 km
- Day Length: 28.9 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 1.5 atm
- Surface Temp: 28 °C
- Surface Gravity: 1.3 g

“A garbage scow with a climate” was how one Citadel Council member described Korlus at the turn of the century, and ever since then the Korlus Tourist Bureau has been attempting to re-brand their planet. It hasn’t worked — though they have tried calling it “the recycling center of the galaxy,” corruption scandals and a staggering murder rate ensure that Korlus’ image is permanently stained.
Korlus’ biggest business is the recycling of decommissioned or junked spacecraft into their component parts. While the invention of omni-gel has made this process significantly cleaner, it is still a dirty business that chokes Korlus’ sky with smog and fills its ports with megatons of scrap. A shady hospitality industry and a scavenger underclass round out the spectacle of urban decay.
TRAVEL ADVISORY: Korlus ranks second in murder per capita in the Terminus Systems and first in off-worlder murder. Civilian traffic is encouraged to employ security professionals when visiting.

Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.png Audio: Korlus
Known as the starcraft cemetery, Korlus was the regional toxic junk yard for centuries. Ships reaching astronautical “near-death” at connecting mass relays were sent to Korlus, stripped of every useful component, then dumped planetward to clear shipping lanes.
Currently Korlus hosts numerous merc factions such as the Blue Suns, rumored to be using downed ship fossils to test advanced munitions. Massive gun batteries threaten anyone attempting planetfall, with minimal defenses against ground attack.
Because ancient volcanism green-housed the planet, Korlus was too hot and CO2-rich to develop a biosphere, despite the abundant lakes that could have sponsored the development of life.
Now cool enough for protected habitation, but too scorching for anyone but extremophiles and mercenaries seeking secrecy, Korlus supports numerous krogan outposts. The krogan have therefore seeded Korlus with hardy varren, often kept as war hounds. Varren live primarily on a diet of geophagous vermin and each other.

Quodis:
- Orbital Distance: 5.0 AU
- Orbital Period: 11.2 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.996
- Radius: 48,918 km
- Day Length: 13.3 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: N/A atm
- Surface Temp: N/A °C
- Surface Gravity: N/A g
- Mass: N/A Earth-masses
A hydrogen-helium gas giant, Quodis is used by countless spaceships to discharge their drive cores after coming into the system. Commercial vessels restock on their supplies of helium-3 from one of its many orbital platforms.
TRAVEL ADVISORY: Piracy at helium-3 refueling stations is common in the Imir system. Visitors are encouraged to use the escorts provided by the Korlus Security Fleet to and from the system’s mass relay. To prevent escort fraud always ask for identification from the escort ships and compare them to those found on the Korlus Security Fleet’s extranet sites.

Gregas:
- Orbital Distance: 10.0 AU
- Orbital Period: 31.7 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.995
- Radius: 5,240 km
- Day Length: 69.9 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: Trace atm
- Surface Temp: −170 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.7 g
- Mass: 0.469 Earth-masses
Cold and distant, Gregas is currently 65 percent rock by mass and 35 percent frozen methane and nitrogen ices. In the planet’s “summer years” these percentages change as the sun heats its ice and it evaporates into a thin atmosphere. Its calcium-heavy crust has been scouted by countless Korlus surveying teams, most of whom came back empty-handed.
