The celestial bodies of the Secons System, the home system of the ulies. From left to right:

Secons: The system's star is a yellow dwarf very similar to our own sun, Sol. It could fit over 1 million Earths inside it.

The All-Maker's Chain: An asteroid belt which orbits close to Secons may have been created when a planet was destroyed by a massive impact shattering the planet and causing the rock chunks to orbit close to Secons. When the ulies began to use more advanced and powerful telescopes in the Industrial Age they named the asteroid belt The All-Maker's Chain, after a passage in their holy scriptures describing how their Diety formed a large chain around a Demon set on destroying Apher. This Demon was cast into eternal torment within Secons as punishment for Its transgressions and the asteroid belt was formed to keep the Demon sealed away.

Polde: The first planet in the Secons solar system it is a little smaller than Earth. It is tidally locked to Secons, the same side always faces the star and this creates a scorching "day" side and a freezing "night" side. When the ulies begin colonization of their solar system they set up numerous mining outposts on the temperate band between the night and day sides when the planet is discovered to hold a vast wealth of minerals, particularly platinum. As their technology advanced the ulies are able to create mining outposts further into the extreme temperatures of the day and night sides.
The dirt and rock produced by the mining processes on Polde are processed further, by crushing it down and adding fertilizers and water to create soil for use on space stations and agricultural ships.

Eupper: The second planet is the Mar's of the Secons system, and is roughly the same size. Until the ulies began their very first forays into terraforming technology Eupper had very little to distinguish it from other terrestrial planets similar to its kind. It was first settled by mining companies which were after the vast amounts of iron the planet has become known for, along with several other important metals like copper and gold, it is also a main producer for diamond and precious stones. The very early terraforming of Eupper began when the ulies carefully guided ice comets and asteroids to impact on Eupper's surface to produce the planet's first sea. Once this occured, repurposed ships where used to bring fertilized soil and plant seeds to Eupper.

Apher: Secons' third planet is the homeworld of the ulies. Apher is classed as a Super-Earth planet with a mass 5.5 times that of Earth, making it similar in size to a planet in a neighbouring system to Earth's solar system, the planet Gliese. The surface of Apher has eighty-five percent water cover leading to most higher life on Apher evolving to be semi-aquatic. Before life evolved on the planet Apher used to have two moons, the largest being the size of Mars and the smallest being the just a little bigger than Mercury. The largest moon was destroyed by an impact and became Apher's famous and spectacular golden rings.
The rings became an integral part of ulie religion, primitive ulies believed the rings were the sandy shores of the Ever Ocean, the ulie ideal Heaven. It also became known as the "Golden Halo" by the Golden Nationals who vowed to the All-Maker to end the Crimson Nation's heresies of the Thousand Generations War.
The ulies called the smaller moon Shrii, which bore obvious scarring of a impact by a large object on the side which faces Apher. The spiritual ulies named a major spirit (lesser/demi-god) after the moon. In religious icons, Shrii is depicted as a warrior Arid female which religious lore states was scarred by the same Demon which became sealed within Secons. The All-Maker tasked Shrii with guarding the sealed Demon, primitive ulies believed that when the Demon broke its seal Shrii would return in physical form to rally the ulies to defeat the demon once and for all.
The gravity of Apher should be much greater than that of Earth, but thanks to Shrii and the mass of it rings the gravity of the planet is comfortble for most lifeforms, including humans.

Loate's Collar: The second of Secon's asteroid belts wasn't officially named until the ulies began to explore their solar system. When they discovered the massive amounts of metals the asteroids contained the ulies called the belt Loate's Collar after a popular fictional character whose trademark was a golden collar. Unlike The All-Maker's Chain, Loate's Collar formed from the remains of the dust and debris when the system first formed from its Proto-Planetary Disk state.

Qurs: Fourth planet in the system, Qurs is a standard T-0 terrestrial planet half the size of Neptune with little in the way to distinguish it save for mining. The planet eventually came into its own when the ulies terraform it and turn it into an agricultural colony mostly for the production biofuels, the entire planet became a huge farm.
Qurs was named after another spirit. It has never been discovered or decided what ulie breed Qurs is, but most believe that he is an Arid due to his stand-off nature. He cared for Shrii when she was gravely injured by the Demon after the battle to seal It away, he secretly loves her but Shrii is too focused on her vigil to realise his feelings. So the All-Maker allowed him to watch over Shrii from afar. Maybe one day he will tell her of his feelings.

Zan: The fifth planet and the largest of Secons' two gas giants has over sixty moons, only thirty one moons are named. Composed mostly of hydrogen and helium Zan isn't as active and storm-wracked as most other Jupiter-like planets. It was first named by ulie shamen in the Prehistoric Ages and they named it after another spirit. Zan was once a mortal Tundra male who became lost in Apher's vast oceans and washed up on the shores of Mocheek, he lived on the island for three years and was adopted into a Tropic tribe. When he had a vision of a volcano on Mocheek erupting and that the island would be destroyed, he set out to find a way to stop the eruption. His vision turned out not to be an actual volcano but instead a mighty firebreathing creature born from a volcano, Zan died defeating the creature. The All-Maker turned Zan into a spirit for his bravery and Zan became a patron spirit to many to the Tropic ulies.
Zan's moons are named after the Tropic ulies who followed Zan to discover the meaning of his visions and helped him to ultimately defeat the creature. Many of its moons are mined when the ulies colonise the system, the largest colony is settled on its largest moon Ulkes, from there miners would travel to the nearest moon to mine it and once the moon was exshauted it would be terraformed to become an agricultural colony.

Rutfhea: The sixth planet and the second of Secons' gas giants, it is a third smaller than Zan with an extensive ring system. Most of Rutfhea's moons were consumed by the creation of these rings and so Rutfhea has much fewer moons than the average gas giant, with only seventeen. The three largest moons , Pot, Xuer and Kotre, are colonised by the military for production of metals, food, and biofuels solely for military use.
Rutfhea was named, as with most of the ulie planets, after a spiritual figure. Rutfhea was the name given to a Demon who was exceptionally loyal to the All-Maker, spiritual legend states that Rufhea became the very first Ceatroan. As a reward, the All-Maker crowned Rutfhea with a protective halo of power.

Nujde: Nujde is a tiny terrestrial planet just slightly bigger than Apher's moon, Shrii. It was colonised by the military and is a huge training center, enabling soldiers to train in hundreds of ways and for thousands of scenarios and conditions, the agricultural colony which is funded by the military is mostly comprised of Tundra ulies, who are uneffected by the cold climate even when prototype technology allowed the distant planet to be settled.
Nudje is a spirit of a Tropic female who broguht the gift of knowledge and fire to the ulies, she is one of the oldest spirits in the ulie pantheon.
Nudje's tiny moon, Tu, named after Nujde's son, is colonised only by one military base and a small army of warriors. This base has only existed since contact with the Racions, a race of brutal avians that enslaved whole worlds until the ulies unleashed the very first GSSDRE-04 warhead, which utterly destroyed the racion's homeworld of Ryneu. When the ulies realised the power of the Planet Busters they stockpiled the remaining nine at this base on Tu and destroyed all evidence of the exsitence of the remaining bombs, if ever the other, more military races ever heard of the power of these bombs it could be disastrous. Officially, the base on Tu is a training ground for combat on hostile planets with no atmosphere and the average warrior and officer has no idea of the nine dark secrets hidden in the deeper levels of 'Tu Base 00'. With luck, they will never be needed.
