Main World
Collace is a world covered primarily by oceans, and with a very thin atmosphere. There is a chemical taint to the atmosphere, so that respirator equipment must also be equipped with a filter, for those who want to venture outdoors. The extremely thin atmosphere also does not provide much protection against sunlight, with exposure remaining a constant problem. The only vegetation common on Collace is small, scrubby stuff, mostly grasses, some large clump lichens, and low spreading brush. Other than plant life, the only indigenous terrestrial life animal life is very small, most of it is microscopic, and tiny arthropods, mostly flying insects. Very few species are heavier than 5-10 grams, however vast swarms of flying insects exist around some of the equatorial coastlines. Burrowing insects are common wherever the low plant life is common. The oceans, however, are home to a wide variety of different species of animals, and plants, some ranging quite large.

Chief Arcology Clusters
A - Eden Cluster (home of Stellos Adjunct beanstalk)
B - Khatra Cluster
C - D'Laria Cluster (home of Collace League, world government)
D - Himaque Cluster
E - S'Airiing Cluster
F - Me'Tang Cluster
The population dwells, mainly, in large arcologies (massive, self contained, city-sized buildings). These have been built in successive stages over the last two thousand years. There was a colony at Collace for about a thousand years prior to that (Solomani colonists that became part of the old Sindalian Empire), living in underground dwellings and domed cities, but it was on a sharp decline when it was contacted by Darrian scouts about two millenia ago. Since that time, and thanks to some shrewd mineral rights trading with the Darrians, the human population have been steadily increasing the size of the population, and the civilization of Collace. There are currently no longer any Darrian mining operations on Collace, but there is a small minority population of Darrians living in some of the arcologies. There are abandoned hulks of empty megacity structures, but most of these have been repurposed and reclaimed for materials.

New arcologies are being built all the time, usually in complete balanced mixes, where large scale industry takes place, along with all of the elements a city needs for its citizenry. As the newer arcologies age and become worn down, they are given over to more lower class dwellings, and the lower levels are claimed for even greater use by industrial purposes.
Much of the industrial workings of the planet are handled by robot assisted methods. These robots exist in two main forms, at the nano scale (nanotechnology is used for both materials manufacturing, and also for reclamation of older, abandoned materials and structures), and large scale in-place manufacturing and processing robots. Humaniform robots are illegal on Collace, going back to a very early tradition when the first mining colonies existed nearly two thousand years ago.

Each cluster thinks of itself as something similar to a "state", and all have various levels of representation known as Cluster Demos. These also come together at the Collace League meetings in D'Laria Cluster, to handle planet wide affairs. The main thrust of the League, is to foster the world (and the surrounding worlds) into an arrangement where the whole subsector comes under Imperial control (with Collace as the subsector capitol, of course). The world is officially a client state of the Imperium.
Collace is involved in a cold war with Trexalon. Trexalon is itself dedicated to furthering the status of the worlds within the District 268 subsector, but Trexalon is aligned with the Sword Worlds. The Collace League believes this to be a ridiculous prospect, and is actively working against Trexalon, even including an arms race.
Starport
Stellos High Port is the main starport of the system. It is a type B orbital starport, featuring spaceship manufacturing berths, and starship repair births (for hulls up to 3000t; larger ships are handled in orbit, by EVA and robotic workers). Stellos is a proper orbital city in it's own right (population 20 thousand, with about three thousand employed in operating the starport, and the rest working the businesses and shops), and has a very strong Imperial presence, in spite of only having the status of "Client" within the Imperial Star Port Authority (it is independent, under control by the main world's government, the Collace League, but willingly operates as an Imperial SPA starport).
Each cluster, and sometimes each arcology in a cluster, has its own spaceport, typically able to land and take off grav vehicles and space vehicles up to 50-80t in size. The Missi Bar arcology, of the Eden Cluster, is built at the base of a beanstalk, that rises up to a small port called the Stellos Adjunct, it is for handling extremely high value, but smaller, cargoes and passenger transfers. There is typically an 18 hour transit time from the Adjunct down to the surface, to Missi Bar arcology.
System Details
Collace is a planet in the fifth orbital around a type F star. The first two orbitals are within the star's Jump Shadow, and the first three orbitals are in the Inner Zone. All the worlds further our than Collace are in the Outer Zone, and there is a large Gas Giant, with 11 moons.

Animal Encounters
As the animals on most of the land surface don't amount to much more than microscopic creatures and some insects, due to the very thin atmosphere, there are some interesting aquatic bioforms worth noting. Here are the encounter charts detailing different types of the oceanic regions of Collace.
