| - | A small planet, about 0.75 Terran radius and at 1.3 AU from its star, NH-Alpha IV was terraformed by human [[:Terraforming Probe|Terraforming Probes]] about 300 standard years ago. Probe records that have been recovered indicate that the terraforming process was particularly violent, and caused considerable upheaval. There is evidence that some rudimentary native life existed before terraforming began. If this is the case, then existing life is likely to have been affected by terran mutagenic compounds and viruses. However, the planet's biomes has been relatively stable for the past 80 years or so since monitoring began. | + | A small planet, about 0.75 Terran radius and at 1.3 AU from its star, NH-Alpha IV was terraformed by human [[:Terraforming Probe|Terraforming Probes]] about 300 standard years ago.

This planet did have a pre-existing biosphere, likely altered by terran mutagenic compounds and viruses. However, the planet's biomes has been relatively stable for the past 80 years or so since monitoring began. In recent years, the planet's ecosystem has been undergoing a transition, with non-Terran life elements making a [[lore:Resurgence on NH-Alpha IV|resurgence]]. |

| The planet has a single, barren moon that exerts fairly straightforward tidal forces. Breaker Transgalactic have developed low-g facilities on the moon for the assistance of visiting spacecraft. It serves as a storage dump for hydrogen collected from NH-Alpha V. | The planet has a single, barren moon that exerts fairly straightforward tidal forces.

| - | This planet is an ammonia ice giant on an elliptical orbit between 25 and 42 AU, which allows it to gravitationally brush against the systems outer comet cloud. NH-Alpha VI is surrounded by a cloud of ice and rock debris, which occasionally break orbit does to offgassing at they approach the nearer part of its orbit. These asteroids present a hazard to developing permanent facilities in the system, as meteorite strikes are relatively common. Approaching NH-Alpha VI itself is dangerous, the cloud of moons and asteroids that surround it, and their constant colliding and breaking apart make it dangerous for ships to get too close without significant shielding. | + | This planet is an ammonia ice giant on an elliptical orbit between 25 and 42 AU, which allows it to gravitationally brush against the systems outer comet cloud.
