[Dracus] Drac home world. Star system identified as Zed Twenty-three. Population largely decimated by the social diseases during the early years of the space era. The economic and social status of the planet is slowly rebuilding, despite low planetary resources. Most Drac colony worlds remain wealthier.
Al-zed Alliance Headquarters World located in the [Alpha Ten] star system. Largest city is also named Al-zed. First Drac colony world after they ventured into space.
[Barzados] Planet in the [Exeter System]. Colonized and terraformed by Drac colony leader Emile Barzados. Settlers sought a place where religion would be tolerated and acceptable. Although the majority of the population supports high moral and rigid dress codes,, many segments of the population no longer support the ancient religion. Several cultures reject the dress codes.
[Ceed] A planet in the [Cosra System]. As the oldest member of the Alliance, in terms of space exploration, they were a major influence during the formative years of the Alliance. Their mandated rules of command and dress are speculated to have traditional roots, based upon the race's sexual practices. The Coceedn are a trisexual race. Because the Alliance has always respected a race's individuality, not a lot is known about them. Besides footwear, they wear only one other article of clothing. The Dracs refer to the clothing as beltbreeches – a cross between shorts and a utility belt. This leaves the upper body bare. With Drac traits, they intermingle freely with Dracs, but are not physically compatible. Drac sperm cannot fertilize Coceedn eggs and vice versa.
[Zurthos] Planet in the [Xerathalma System]. Zurthians are Drac in shape but retain short tails that serve no apparent purpose. They are bisexual, but strongly support the Coceedn ruling system. This race of Dracs have a scaly skin, but are mammals. Their high planetary gravity helped the race develop into a powerful, stocky race. They helped colonize Ragnoruk, and maintained a pitiful outpost there until it was turned into the Alliance Prison Planet. They still maintain a colony that serves to supply the Prison area with guards and overseers.
[Xcillea] Planet in the [Hygloz system]. The Xcilleen developed the first practical Warp Drive. The planet has no centralized government, but is run by guilds serving the major occupations. The guilds control all economic functions and the pilot guild is the most powerful. Encompassing scientific, engineering, and navigational regimens, the Pilot guild jealously guards the secrets to the Warp Drive and "contract" their services to other guilds, planetary governments, races, and the Alliance, including the ADF. Very little is known about the Xcilleen, except that they appear to have a escoskeleton and look somewhat like large,, humanlike beetles.
[Morningstar] Official designation: Alpha314. Drac colony world. Stancer comes from the Heritage District on this planet where there are lots of forests.
[Pehatchant] Ancient City on Coceedus. Home of the Bard of Pehatchant.
[Regis] Cluster of Stars. Includes the Cusra system, home system of the Coceedn and Coceedus.
[Simaton] A planet in the Regis cluster. The ADF maintains a large base there.
[Wratworth] A city on Coceedus.
[Yeckle] Solar System. Sentious is located in this system.
[Flannigans Bluff] A small seacoast town on Sentious. Tactician Kristal Yates was raised here by relatives.
