 A distant colony of the Colonial Trade Pact alliance, Helka-Alpha is the primary inhabited system of a three star trinary star system also known as 'Helka'. Its primary means of returning to the core worlds of the Colonial Alliance is a semi-naturally occurring stellar gate, kept navigatable by man made structures. With it the outer systems of their motherland can be reached within as little as fifteen days. Without and only using their shipboard FTL drives the journey can take nearly six months.

Spread like an invasive tumor with metallic offshoots reaching outward and onto the plain that makes up most of the planet's surface. Rising from within the canyon's depths is the tendril of orbital elevator that links to the planet's primary ore offloading station which acts as the elevators counter weight. Effectively Ossken acts as the heart and capital of the planet with numerous surface roads, tram lines, and sub-surface hypertrains linking it to various other mining installations and habitats above and below the surface.

+A planet consumed by industry, Helka Alpha IV is a terrestrial world with a very thin atmosphere and plays host to vast mining and industrial operations spread across its surface. It plays host to large numbers of corporate and local company operations extracting both [[materials:callenite]] and the various precursor minerals for vital materials to the Colonial Pact. Various large craters have been sealed over by the upper levels of deeply sunk habitat arcologies to host the populations needed to keep the planet's industry running.

+====Living Conditions and Climate====
+A typical industrial world without a hospitable atmosphere, like most such situations the living conditions can vary by the wealth of any individual citizen. From decent in large scale acrcologies built into various impact craters and surface features with vast open interiors, to the cramp conditions of converted mining tunnels the latter of which being fairly common in 'wildcat' situations. Often times its a healthy middle with most of the settlements being interconnected through various underground and surface means.
+====Planetary Infrastructure and Industry====
+  ***Orbital Elevators -** This planet features four high tonnage elevators at even spacing around the planet's equator primarily for shipping manufactured and refined goods up and unprocessed ore down. There are a few other lower tonnage lifts but these are primarily for military or corporate traffic rather then the general commercial activities of the planet.
+  ***Spaceports (Surface) -** Like most bustling worlds of this nature there are thousands of small and private star ports and numerous larger scale commercial operations with each major settlement playing host to at least one capable of handling kilometer sized vessels.
+  ***Spaceports (Orbital) -** Each major elevator plays host to a transfer terminal capable of handling large amounts of civilian traffic, they will also host passenger terminals and hangers for small to moderate sized starships. There is one military starport and one major corporate starport at the end of the private orbital lifts present on the planet.
+  ***Shipyards -** This world plays host to the second largest shipyard in the system, a mixture of a surface complex and an orbital complex, it is the only location capable of manufacturing capital ships.
+  ***Industry -** As stated above this world is primarily oriented on large scale manufacturing, ship making, mining, ore refining, and any other number of heavy industries which tend to stain the red surface with the soot of factory exhaust. As such it features a sizable population to feed the ever growing needs of the industry present here.
+  ***Agriculture -** Almost all the agriculture on this world is either subsistence in nature or part of the niche market of fresh vegetables, typically grown in underground or surface green house facilities from the small private plot scale to industrialized farms. However it is expensive in this world's conditions.

Its conditions can vary from near perfect, clean, and comfortable, to grungy and dangerous often the deeper you go under the surface.
+===== Vosk (Helka-Alpha V) =====
+//Warm Jovian Gas Giant//\\
+The middle child of the three gaseous worlds in the Helka-Alpha star system, it features two moderately sized moons and a significant amount of orbital infrastructure. Most of the planet's lower orbits are occupied by vast swathes of automated gas harvesting systems busily scraping the top layers of gas off the planet for refinement on it's moons into usable fusion fuels. Upper orbits are occupied by various industrial satellites, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder|Island-3]] type closed colony cylinders, and a large fuel handling port facility sending the gas giant's products throughout the star system. Its two moons are host to a variety of mining and industrial facilities, their low gravity allowing for ease of shipping their goods to orbit.

+====Living Conditions and Climate====
+There are three primary bodies in this planetary system with the first being the gas giant Vosk and the other two being her moons Teza and Shosha. Below are described their individual living conditions.
+=== Planetary Orbit ===
+Without even a surface to stand on all of those who make their home here live in various space colonies, from massive Island-3 type cylinders holding millions to small groups of families maintaining and operating gas harvesting satellites. While life can be cramped at times with limited space on those not spending their days in purpose built habitats life out here is quite lucrative with a significant percentage of the star system's Fusion Optimized Liquid (FOL) products being produced and shipped from this world.
+=== Teza ===
+The smaller of Vosk's two moons and the most 'active' of the pair when it comes to volcanism due to its location between its sister moon and the planet they orbit. Effectively turning itself inside out every few million years the surface is covered in a rich variety of ores which wandering harvesters pick up from the various lava flows and pyroclastic emissions. Civilization here is composed of a few scattered space ports built on shielded spires hanging just above the surface and fixed by anchors. These tend to be of scummy and questionable nature due to the living conditions of the planet, as such it tends to attract the more rough and tumble of the population.
+=== Shosha ===
+A Europan style moon with a thin subsurface ocean riding on a volcanically active mantle, the sole major settlement acts as both a spaceport and a massive floating refinery acting as the base of operations and hub for surface and sub-surface activities on the planet. Living conditions here vary however the more aquatic nature is at least satisfactory compared to the volcanic literal hell of Teza and a more mellow population can be found carving a living from the planet's surface and sub-surface.
+====Planetary Infrastructure and Industry====
+  ***Spaceports (Surface) -** Both moons feature a handful of large space ports with only one per world able to handle kilometer range starships. Smaller pads however are numerous and their conditions vary from commercial to not particularly maintained private pads.
+  ***Spaceports (Orbital) -** Both moons feature one major polar orbiting station capable of handling kilometer range craft, each serving as both an orbital habitat and major point of transition between the three planetary bodies that make up this system. Each orbital construct that orbits Vosk is effectively a mid range space port in its own right, especially in the case of the Island-3 type close cylinders. However one major port is located in a high polar orbit which serves as the primary collection point for FOL fuels and their transition for transportation throughout the starsystem.
+  ***Shipyards -** There is one moderately sized yard for the maintenance of orbital infrastructure and the repair of sub-kilometer sized commercial vessels. Numerous small operations capable of building skiffs and small transports exist however there is no major shipyard facility capable of building military grade vessels.
+  ***Industry -** While both moons play host to some callenite extraction virtually the entire economy in this planetary system is geared toward the extraction and refinement of FOL liquids and their transport to the rest of the star system. Most of the manufacturing is geared toward maintaining this industry with most of the remaining geared toward the maintenance of human life in an artificial environment.
+  ***Agriculture -** Virtually all food stuffs are imported with some subsistence farming in specially equipped orbital facilities occuring in orbit around Vosk. However there are some fishery operations on the larger moon, primarily extracting lobster and crab like creatures from the sunless sub-surface ocean.

+===== Dep Asteroid Belt =====
+//Asteroid Belt//\\
+A collection of ferrous body type asteroids that marks the boundary between the inner part of the star system and the outer part of the star system. It is populated almost entirely by those employed by the mining and refining industry, this population living on a myriad of space habitats from those purpose built such as Island-3 type closed cylinders to improvised asteroid habitations converted from stripped bodies. While these settlements are scattered throughout the belt the largest is centered around the single large space port that acts as the hub of commerce moving between the inner and outer parts of the star system.

+  ***Orbital Radius -** 219,856,376 Km
+  ***Orbital Width -** 26,859,261 Km
+  ***Population -** 25.7 Million
+====Living Conditions and Climate====
+Housed completely in the semi-sterile environments of star ships, space colonies, and hollowed out asteroids. Like most of the living conditions outside of the inner star system life is a daily grind of work breathing recycled air and eating various kinds of textured vegetable protein. Comfort various by the degree of funds sunk into the habitats with the largest and perhaps most advanced going to a group of interconnected asteroids built during the corporate era of Helka-Alpha. However overall low to null gravity in cramp confines and industrial spaces is the norm in the Dep Belt.
+====Planetary Infrastructure and Industry====
+  ***Spaceports -** Countless small to medium sized habitats, each effectively with their own port for trading goods and transferring various ores and needed cargo. However the single biggest in the belt is Kamen Harbor with its largest facilities capable of handling kilometer sized military vessels. Most in the 'Dep' are primarily designed for handling ore transfers and for wrangling reduced mass asteroids (typically cleaned down to their more valuable ore cores).
+  ***Shipyards -** Numerous small facilities to handle the ever present need for skiffs and small craft, Kamen Harbor plays host to a facility capable of handling the manufacture of asteroid 'wrangling' rigs and moderate sized freighters however it is not equipped to construct military grade vessels outside of small security cutters.
+  ***Industry -** Virtually the entirety of the belt is dedicated to ripping apart the small chunks of rock that make up the Dep and extracting any valuble ores before beginning the first stage refinement before shipping the results in ingot form to various ports throughout the star system. Most of these refining facilities are present at Kamen Harbor.
+  ***Agriculture -** Virtually all food stuffs are imported aside from small subsistence farming operations and some niche operations intended to produce fresh vegetable food stuff for those who can afford the luxury.

+//Kamen Harbor//\\
+  ***Location -** Dep 'Main Belt'
+    *Composed of sixteen multi-kilometer asteroid habitats banded together by strong structures which also act as a mass transit system, it is a marvel of 'cobbled together' engineering growing from a single complex over the years as the star system was settled. It is one of the main weigh stations as one journeys into the outer star system and is one of the main fueling points. The population here tends to vary from habitat to habitat with the mentality and attitude growing gradually more shady the older the complex gets.
+===== Amur (Helka-Alpha VI) =====
+//Hot Jovian Gas Giant//\\
+One of the largest centers for industry outside of the core habitable worlds, Amur plays host to over half of the fusion fuel production in the star system as well as a large percentage of its mining output from the gas giant's various small to moderately sized moons. Numerous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder|Island-3]] type space colonies and surface habitats can be found here, the first's agricultural output being used to support its large population.

+There are three primary bodies in this planetary system with the first being the gas giant Vosk and the other two being her moons Teza and Shosha. Below are described their individual living conditions.
+== Planetary Orbit ==
+Like Vosk there is no surface to stand on, forcing those who make their home here live in various space colonies, from massive Island-3 type cylinders holding millions to small groups of families maintaining and operating gas harvesting satellites. Like Vosk those who live here specialize in the extraction of FOL fuels from the upper atmosphere of Amur, however the scale of the operation is far larger with tens of thousands of dedicated platforms skimming the upper reaches and syphoning fuel up to refinery satellites. Life for these workers is slightly better due to the heavier corporate and governmental investment and thus the better conditions of the space habitats.
+== Moons ==
+This planetary system plays host to a variety of moons, some ferrous hard dead rocks and others with sub-surface oceans. All of these moons have some kind of mining operation and the associated surface/subsurface habitats and their associated mixed conditions. However all are somewhat cramp quarters, with the older facilities being progressively smaller and more cramped as the age of these facilities increases.
+====Planetary Infrastructure and Industry====
+  ***Spaceports (Surface) -** All of the moons in this planetary system feature at least one primary spaceport for the shipping of personnel, processed ore, and for the support of commerical traffic. Typically with the larger moons playing host to larger facilities.
+  ***Spaceports (Orbital) -** Each orbital construct that orbits Amur is effectively a mid range space port in its own right, especially in the case of the Island-3 type close cylinders. However one major port is located in a high polar orbit which serves as the primary collection point for FOL fuels and their transition for transportation throughout the star system.
+  ***Industry -** Due to the large number of ferrous moons orbiting Amur this planetary system acts as the largest industrial center outside of the inner star system in the Helka Alpha Star System. Hosting all manner of heavy manufacturing and the finished ore products so heavily desired by other industries in the star system. Most of these facilities and complexes are located on the gas giant's moons often directly linked with various sub-surface and open pit mining operations.
+  ***Agriculture -** Virtually all food stuffs are imported with some subsistence farming in specially equipped orbital facilities occuring in orbit around Amur. Some sub-surface fisheries exist pulling primitive creatures from the waters of sub-surface oceans that exist on some of the moons however these tend to be luxury items with most of the population subsisting off of vegetable proteins.
