CORE WORLDS
ARIEL: Like all Core Planets, Ariel is a paradise of technology. Ariel is known throughout the 'verse for its excellent medical facilities. The technology in Ariel's hospitals is the very latest. Ariel is also well known for its restaurants. All the famous chefs come from Ariel or go to Ariel to open their own restaurants. Ariel is a restricted landing zone. Only those with legitimate business are allowed to land.
BERNADETTE:
After the initial colonization of Londinium and Sihnon, Bernadette was the first planet to be terraformed and settled. The only remaining ship that brought the people who made the Exodus from Earth-That-Was stands in the capital city of New Paris. Bernadette is a traditional launching point for those leaving to settle on other worlds. Bernadette is home to a number of different churches and religious groups as well as an underground slave-trade. Bernadette is a restricted lannding zone but if you claim to be a settler or have a group of passengers looking to tour the musuem that is now housed in the ship from the Exodus, you are usually
Londinum:
Of all the planets Londinum is the most like Earth-That-Was and was one of the first two planets settled. Most of the original colonists from the European and American continents came to Londinum where they honored their roots by combining old tradition with new technology. Though the buildings are all constructed from the most modern technology they are all designed to resemble the “imperial gothic” style with the appearance of being made of stone or other archaic designs.
Londinum is the center of Alliance control housing the Parliament building and the government complex so it has a strong military presence. The Alliance flagship Victoria patrols its space and it is home to the elite SAS (Special Alliance Support) troops. The ministry of intelligence also has its headquarters here. For these reasons Londinum is heavily restricted with “no fly” zones above and around government buildings. Any ships that come near these areas will be shot down without warning and anyone outside approved areas without proper id is immediately arrested.
OSIRIS:
Osiris is the heart of the Alliance's judicial branch. Here the High Court hears important cases and their decisions affect the of Parliamentary law. The Court is housed in Capital City and the most important law firms are based here. The University of Osiris boasts the most prestigious law school in the core as well as a fine medical school. Osiris is also home to the corporate offices of the Blue Sun Corporation. The Corporation complex is off limits to everyone except employees. No one enters without going through a thorough background check and the very latest in security systems makes it nigh impossible to break in. Landing on Osiris is restricted though not as heavily as some planets.
