Laurasia               
 * The annals of the early Earth surveys record that Laurasia was one of the first extrasolar planets discovered. Due to the methods used back then, the planet necessarily has a high mass and it therefore a ‘super-Earth’. Moreover, it orbits its parent star at a very close distance. Being tidally locked, this means that the side facing the star is exceptionally hot – hotter than Mercury is in the older Solar System. On the opposite side, it is frigid cold.


 * The planet is otherwise moderately unremarkable. Pockmarks from an early era of heavy bombardment litter the surface of the Laurasia, but the planet is now clearly old and in a stable (but close) orbit of its parent star and has been this way for a vast amount of time.

Tilou       Skirnir    Gorynich              Trada
 * Any atmosphere that its mass might suggest it would otherwise have has long since been pushed away from its surface thanks to a constant solar wind.
 * A small planet, but a hot one overall. Tilou features great expanses of sandy desert that give way to large salt plains where one might otherwise have expected there to be seas or oceans on a more temperate planet. In other locations - particularly near the poles, small rocks and rounded pebbles form large mounds - arguably a leftover from an earlier more watery age in the planet’s physical history.
 * Skirnir is a small rocky world not too dissimilar to Mercury in the old Sol System. Pitted with impact craters and a number of extinct shield volcanoes, the surface of the planet is somewhat unremarkable.
 * Barely more than a Plutoid class planet, Gorynich is a rocky terrestrial orbiting a faint red M-class star in the core bulge region of the Galaxy. Geologically dead, the surface of the planet is highly smooth – almost glossy – all over as a result of extensive frozen surface water. Beneath the surface, pockets of liquid water exist in isolation from one another but always threatening to freeze over. Only the ellipticity of the planet’s orbit around the star and the resultant tidal stress keeps the water from totally freezing.
 * The curiously named Trada is a Jovian class planet orbiting a sub-solar main sequence star in the traditional constellation of Hercules. Somewhat smaller than Jupiter it has one feature that makes it a fairly unique planet and worthy of note in the wider Galaxy: its outermost layer of gas is almost pure ethanol crystals.


 * Interior to this, the planet is mostly hydrogenous compounds before giving way to hydrogen and metallic hydrogenatits core. It is orbited by a plethora of minor rocky terrestrial satellites in various states and eccentricities, most of which amount to little more than dirty snowballs.
