Cholis:
- Orbital Distance: 0.7 AU
- Orbital Period: 0.7 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.7
- Radius: 9,813 km
- Day Length: 8.1 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 103.93 atm
- Surface Temp: 494 °C
- Surface Gravity: 1.35 g
- Mass: 3.172 Earth-masses
- Colony: Batarian (species)
Cholis is a large rock planet wreathed in a haze of carbon dioxide and xenon. It was discovered by batarian astronomers during the last century and first visited in the 2150s by Hegemony survey teams. A small number of colonists lived in aerostat habitats above its oppressive cloud layer, harvesting carbon dioxide. No habitats can be detected now–it is likely the Reapers eliminated them or the colonists submerged into the scorching atmosphere in an attempt to hide.

Camala:
- Orbital Distance: 1.4 AU
- Orbital Period: 1.9 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.76
- Radius: 4,866 km
- Day Length: 18.1 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 1.85 atm
- Surface Temp: 38 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.924 g
- Mass: 0.534 Earth-masses
- Colony: Batarian
Capital: Ujon, founded 2154 CE, population 2,875,000 (pre-invasion; before The Reapers)
Camala is a relatively small but eezo-rich garden world recently colonized by the batarians. In an unusually open gesture, the batarians allowed immigration of free citizens of other species, so long as they came from independent colony planets such as those in the Traverse and Terminus and retained non-citizen status during their stay. These strictures were small obstacles compared to the economic lure of eezo, and soon the planet boasted spaceports and refineries that considerably enriched the Hegemony. The planet enjoyed relative peace and prosperity, with the major lifestyle inconvenience being fresh water shortages due to a dry climate.
The Reaper invasion has turned Camala’s cities from affluent oases into a living nightmare. Alliance intelligence suggests that early in the Reaper invasion, a high percentage of the planet’s population was captured and converted to husk creatures for future offensives. The processing camps still run night and day, and the troop transports fly legions of cannibals out every hour. For this reason, Alliance command has put Camala squarely in its sights for military strikes.

Ramlat:
- Orbital Distance: 2.5 AU
- Orbital Period: 4.4 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.807
- Radius: 4,526 km
- Day Length: 62.9 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: Trace atm
- Surface Temp: −113 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.71 g
- Mass: 0.355 Earth-masses
- Colony: Batarian (species)
Ramlat is a small rock planet with a thin atmosphere of hydrogen and ethane. During the rush to exploit Camala for eezo and other minerals, Ramlat supported a small but steadily-growing population. Since the system was bereft of a significant asteroid belt, Ramlat became the go-to location for second-tier miners looking for work. Its tin and gold industry was modestly profitable before the Reaper attack; today, it is a wasteland scarred by the craters of kinetic impact weapons.

Hiba:
- Orbital Distance: 5.1 AU
- Orbital Period: 12.9 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.797
- Radius: 58,278 km
- Day Length: 16.9 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: N/A atm
- Surface Temp: N/A °C
- Surface Gravity: N/A g
- Mass: N/A Earth-masses
The hydrogen-helium gas giant Hiba has an unstable orbit, which over time has led to it clearing the space around it of asteroids and protoplanetary material. As a result, its rings are thick and quite visible.

Kaver Station:
Alliance intelligence reports that there was once a sizable military space station trailing Hiba that was tasked with arming and refueling ships to repel pirates, slave revolts, and foreign invasion. The Reapers wasted little time in destroying it during their conquest of Camala.

Maklan:
- Orbital Distance: 9.3 AU
- Orbital Period: 31.8 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.795
- Radius: 3,763 km
- Day Length: 38.1 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 2.71 atm
- Surface Temp: −127 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.55 g
- Mass: 0.19 Earth-masses
Maklan is the outermost planet of the Indris system, a ball of rock and ice with a methane-argon atmosphere. Like Hiba, it has an unstable orbit, but where Hiba is believed to have formed closer to the star and gradually moved outward, Maklan is believed to have formed further from Indris and moved inward. Far in the future, Maklan may become a satellite of its gas giant neighbor.
