Maldor:
- Orbital Distance: 0.9 AU
- Orbital Period: 1.0 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.729
- Radius: 8,356 km
- Day Length: 36.0 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 52.73 atm
- Surface Temp: 361 °C
- Surface Gravity: 1.88 g
- Mass: 3.203 Earth-masses
The krogan surveying team that first reported back from Maldor said, in characteristic understatement, that the planet had “a bit of the good stuff, if you can get past a little acid.” Although Maldor’s mineral wealth includes uranium, iridium, and other heavy metals, miners must contend with crushing gravity and atmosphere, boiling temperatures, and clouds of sulfur dioxide. As such, once the planet’s most accessible ores were depleted, the mining interests that exploited the planet quickly departed.

Utukku:
- Orbital Distance: 1.7 AU
- Orbital Period: 2.5 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.786
- Radius: 6,865 km
- Day Length: 64.2 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 2.2 atm
- Surface Temp: 10 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.82 g
- Mass: 0.943 Earth-masses
Although Utukku is habitable, extreme temperatures and violent weather have discouraged colonization. Because the planet has little liquid water to retain heat, surface temperatures regularly oscillate between 70 C to -60 C. Utukku’s vegetation is notable for having evolved flexible central stalks to survive high-speed winds as well as leathery leaves to shrug off the planet’s frequent sandstorms. Animal life is mostly confined to the planet’s small oceans. Utukku has few valuable minerals.

Inakhos:
- Orbital Distance: 3.3 AU
- Orbital Period: 6.7 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: N/A
- Radius: 553 km
- Day Length: 40.0 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: Trace atm
- Surface Temp: −131 °C
- Surface Gravity: 0.094 g
- Mass: 0.001 Earth-masses
Inakhos is a metallic asteroid. The surface was once raided for its abundant olivine, which is used for carbon sequestration on heavily populated worlds. More than half the mass of the asteroid has now been depleted, exposing its relatively pure iron-nickel core.

Keph:
- Orbital Distance: 5.8 AU
- Orbital Period: 15.7 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 0.792
- Radius: 70,912 km
- Day Length: 17.6 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: N/A atm
- Surface Temp: N/A °C
- Surface Gravity: N/A g
- Mass: N/A Earth-masses
Keph is a hydrogen-helium gas giant. Records show that the planet should have a helium-3 mining infrastructure, but scans find nothing of the sort. There are neither abnormal heat sources nor space junk from destroyed refineries. If the infrastructure was removed, it was removed entirely, and within the last few years.
