Editing Setting:Cloudburst/Septiim (section)

====Outer Worlds====

The three gas giants in the outer system are economic holdings of the Administratum, and serve to pump chemicals and ores into the greater markets of the system.  However, given the routine beatings the Septiim system takes from the Glasians, the stations demand heavy protection from the SDF and Navy, and don’t always get it.
Septiim Tetranus is a vast gas giant, it is the largest body in the system beside Septiim itself.  The cloudy ribbons of a hundred gasses and orbital rings encircle the solid uranium core, believed by astro-Adepts to be a piece of the core of one of the first second-stage stars to have existed in the galaxy.  Its many dozens of moons are too small to be of great resource value, but their incredible beauty and magnificent vistas have resulted in some of the larger ones to be bought by nobles and made into shrines or vacation homes.  Its atmosphere is mined for rare gasses, including a gaseous form of petrochemical that is identical to the product of the first stage of promethium refinement.  Its rings conceal a top-secret Navy sensor platform, and its two poles have large way-stations for gas freighters on their way to the refineries.  The world has over eight thousand residents on its stations and its eighty-five moons.

Septiim Pentius is also an economically active region.  Large Lagrange stations in this gas giant’s orbit house thousands of pilgrims, who journey here to visit a large shrine on the L1 station.  Within the shrine, known as the Home of the Penitent Traveler, is the cryo-preserved body of a member of the bridge crew of the ''Imperator Somnium'', the ship the Emperor had used during the later years of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.  Exactly why it is so far from Terra is unknown.

The gas giant itself is a nitrogen giant, though its polar clouds include rich and vast clouds of hydrogen and methane, which the orbital platforms mine for fuel.  Its moons are much larger than Tetranus’, and there is some minor mining there, for ice and frozen petrochemicals.

This world has a hair under thirty-one thousand people on its orbitals and moon bases, and twelve moons.

Septiim Septimus, as confusingly named as it is, is the final world in the system.  This cold giant is unremarkable in every scientific way, and its atmosphere is a largely inert mix of light noble gasses, methane, nitrogen, and other common gasses.  Its moons are small and also unremarkable, its gravity is high enough to be annoying to freighter crews, and its sole point of interest is a vaguely pretty brown streak on its atmosphere, where a comet hit the planet at an odd angle.  Its Lagrange points, however, are far more important, as the first one houses a very large void platform, within which the Navy has built a combination dry-dock, hydroponic food growth block, protein recycler, troop garrison, and counter-boarding training center.  The soldiers here have the dubious honor of being the first to be attacked when the Glasians assault the system, and postings here during the buildup to the centennial invasions are regarded as something of a punishment.  The Mechanicus also maintains a small outpost at another Lagrange point, where a repair station and long-range vox relay have been built around a chunk of cometary ice and nickel, caught by Septimus’s gravity.  The Blue Daggers use a small, servitor-maintained void platform here for Terminator deep-space boarding practice and isolation training.  The Daggers abandon the station when the time comes to repel the Glasians once more.

Its seven moons and its various stations hold a wildly fluctuating number of people, from sixty to ninety thousand.
