Yamm:
- Orbital Distance: 2.0 AU
- Orbital Period: 2.8 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: 1.02
- Radius: 6,501 km
- Day Length: 69.6 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 1.8 atm
- Surface Temp: 34 °C (temperate zone)
- Surface Gravity: 1.1 g
- Mass: 1.134 Earth-masses
- Colony: New Karnak (capital), founded 2170, population 488,504
With over 90% of its surface covered in oceans, Yamm is a habitable nitrogen-oxygen world but its extremes can be quite hostile to sapient life. The heat from its extremely long days reaches dangerous levels, ranging from 24 Celsius at night to 53 in the afternoon in the temperate zones. Hurricanes run unchecked across the oceans, with winds reaching up to 250 km per hour.
While there are some arthropod-like animals, the predominant forms of life are various kinds of toxic algae blooms that stretch hundreds of kilometers across. However, other bio-hydrocarbon algae blooms are suitable for use as biofuel, and farming the “green gold” forms the backbone of Yamm’s economy.

Tefnut:
- Orbital Distance: 4.1 AU
- Orbital Period: 8.3 Earth-years
- Keplerian Ratio: N/A
- Radius: 57,010 km
- Day Length: 8.8 Earth-hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: N/A atm
- Surface Temp: N/A °C
- Surface Gravity: N/A g
- Mass: N/A Earth-masses
- Colony: population 33,810 spread across 5 Space stations
A hydrogen-helium gas giant, Tefnut is home to a helium-3 collection and the nearest refueling facility to the Nubian Expanse’s mass relay. As such, it is a major gateway to the Verge and Terminus Systems, and has become famous for its hospitality industry. Tefnut’s motto is known throughout the galaxy: “Like home, only better.”
Visitors here can stay at expansive resort stations, watch locally-produced entertainment, buy mind-affecting substances not welcome in Citadel space, and rent companionship. Resources are shipped in from Yamm at substantial discounts, allowing the small space stations to have surprising luxuries such as edible arthropods and large amounts of fresh water.
