System Zhsyo
The planet of Zhyso was taken by five hundred superkapital ships under the direct command of High Hunter Kornat Hanüch in the year 360 ABT as a sanctuary for Zhyssian Hunters. A relatively new addition to the Nalydian planet roster, Zhyso is cold and very windy.
The planet has three rocky moons that have retrograde orbits; they serve as anchorages for VRZ vessels as the rest of the system is largely uninhabited. The capital, named in honour of the city that once stood on Nalydian Franz-Josef Land by the same name, is Nova Zhyso. |

System Nüzhna
Moscorosia |
Kaloo |
The planet Kaloo was seized as a trophy during the Denma-Nalydian Roon War. Since those days it has proven to be a useful research facility and houses numerous secret facilities that belong to many nations with whom Nalydya is allied.
Moscorosia was found lightly defended during the Laptev-ARN War and was subsequently occupied by Nalydian forces. After a brief period of glaciation, the planet was deemed suitable for Nalydian habitation and to this day harbors a significant population of Pords and serves as the capital of the System Nüzhna. |
System Mal Ka 'Suzt
Mal Ka 'Suzt is physically the coldest of the Nalydian planets - winds whip across the surface up to 250 kph and temperatures hover above absolute zero all year round. All the cities have Array shielding to keep the wind out and most of the more severe cold. Roads are built underground or above ground and connected to the shielding.
City of Hol-nam Ka 'Suzt is the planet's capital. Population of 5 million; main city on the planet. All roads and routes of travel pass through here. Houses main spaceport as well as the planet's FTL interdiction generators. |

System Nävysht
Nävysht |
As a minor House, the Nävsh did not settle their own world until well after Nalydya arrived in the NS-1 Universe. Nävysht is the first planet the Hunters of the Great House of Nävysht settled; it orbits at the very edge of the habitable zone for its star and a set of dusty rings and a singular moon complete it.
Nävysht is best known for its rather thick atmosphere - the planet is wrapped in a thick belt of hydrogen, helium, and methane, the latter of which gives the planet its bluish tint. |
System Mürsk
The planet of Mürsk was settled by Hunters from the Great House of Mürsk in the year 100 ABT as a direct reaction to the War of Natynozh Resurgence. Fleeing the advancing Natynozh armies, the Mürsk Hunters found a chilly ocean world and crafted a home from it. Sitting at the center of a ten planet system, Mürsk is a heavily populated and influential planet.
With Rekazhnar as their guardian, the Mürsk Hunters built vast cities upon the seafloor of the planet; the grand city of Rekazhgrazhni Mürskskaya, crafted in fealty to the pelagic god himself, has few rivals in Nalydya for size or majesty. |

System Kalach
Kalach |
A bastion of Zhyssian power, the System Kalach stands as testament to their resolve in one-upping the Yamsai'an Hunters. The System Kalach has six planets with the planet Kalach herself as capital; each world is heavily populated, but perhaps in contrast to many of the larger Pordish systems, there are no heavy yards for the construction of voidcraft.
The capital, Kalach, houses the influential city of Chor Kalach, a sprawling metropolis built in the traditional Nalydian style with low buildings and ice-brick roads. The overall climate - cold but windless - enables the usage of such construction methods; she orbits at 1.3 AU from her parent star, a dingy k-type of the main sequence. |
System Cha 'Suzt
The planet Cha 'Suzt, and her capital Cha 'Suzt, is named for the city by the same name on the planet Nalydya. It is a moderately sized gas giant that harbours a handful of floating cities. It has a single small rocky moon that has far too many craters and no facilities of note, as well as thin wispy rings.
Overall there are three other planets in the System Cha 'Suzt, two of which orbit at .3 and .5AU, while the third, unpopulated, completes her tracks an impressive 200AU out from the central star. |

System Grazhni Brüchor
Grazhni Brüchor |
Grazhni Brüchor was settled by Hunters from the minor House of Jlokal. Accustomed to the hardships of life in tall mountains, these Hunters went out of their way to find a system with planets supporting such windy peaks.
Grazhni Brüchor herself is a rocky world with no seas; mountains crisscross her surface with myriad cities built out of their peaks. The capital is a large walled city by the name of Grazhni Brüchor just as the planet. |
System Chor Onavysh
Chor Onavysh is the crimson jewel of the Nävysht. Colonized with the intent of having it serve as capital of the Great House, it has not served in this capacity, but instead has come to figuratively represent the Nävysh on the grand scale.
The walled city of Grazhni Onavysh forms a large band along the planet's equatorial region. Within its many buildings it houses most of the world's population and it stands alone against the relatively untouched and barren red expanse of the interior. Like the city of the namesake of the Nävysht, it is a beacon shining against the abyss. Planets of note in the system are Chor Onavysh, Tynalat, and Plachyt. |

System Unakal
Unakal |
Unakal stands proudly with no single house claiming dominion over its fabrics. The blue-green world of Unakal is the system-capital and revolves around the star Malataloq. It is a scenic world of small village clumps and grazing herds but still manages a considerable population; there are no oceans and the major townships of the world are Belchat, Nelchor, Dalnüt, Valnochat, and Pelnaaq.

System Chelzhak
The Great House of Nävsh settled Chelzhak countless cycles ago and have turned the system into a major fabricyards. Housing the famed Chelzhak Yards, the system is a primary producer of vessels for the Great House of Nävsh, and their yards have also produced many of the most modern warship designs for the unified navy, the VRZ.
Beyond the shipyards, the system is dominated by three inhabited worlds: Chelzhak - a sparsely populated mountainous world - Malozhyte (a gas giant) and a large iceball Galchazhyt. |

System Hylat
Kashevte Hylat |
The planet Hylat is a cold watery world accompanied by three moons and two other planets, Valatak and Salychoq, that orbit inside her own track and beyond it, respectively. Settled by Natynozh Hunters, it is a sanctuary for all those who heed the word of Polynya and is one of the most spiritual planets under the Natynozh banner.
The north pole of Hylat is dominated by the form of a large complex dedicated to Polynya that stretches high into the outer reaches of the world's atmosphere. It can be seen from space and serves as a place of pilgrimage for Pords all across the nation. |
System Yanozh
Yanozh is the most influential Jlokal'an world. Burdened with sprawling metropolises, its population is in the high double-digit billions and rising while its four primary moons, between them, strive to eventually match the world below in population.
Major cities of the world include Yanozhat, Halnozhyn, Balnochar, Tüchamaaq, Aglakat, Rülyn, Benazhyt, and Vlynar. Yanozh is also home to the world Halchor. Halchor orbits at five AU from their parent star and is far less densely populated than Yanozh. It has one moon, Galtyn, and three main continents: Valachon, Talyn, and Ralchat. |
Yanozh |
System Krazh Olükets
Olükets |
Krazh Olükets stands proudly near the galactic core. During the days of core mining, back in the home universe, vast collections of hardware were brought to the center of the galaxy to aid in the gathering and storage of power from the sheer quantity and proximity of stars in orbit. With the Hildenbrand Reformation, the greater share of these systems were cannibalized in favour of rift foundries. These were brought to Krazh Olükets to fully consolidate Pordish claims in the region, and the two primary worlds of the system - Krazh Olükets and Grazhni Volnyk - stand shepherd among the expansive dyson of foundries.

System Chor Vanook
Chor Vanook is an influential system that sits at the outer edge of Pordish space. As a titan of industry its total output is not matched by any single other system in Nalydya; sprawling shipyards and fabricworks dot the spacelanes between the worlds of Vanook and Ulyaq, the two primary worlds of the system.
Vanook is hot, dry, and unfriendly to Pordish habitation. Those of the world have been forced to adopt a new style of living - one which is divorced from the cold and winter and all that Nalydya has taught them. They have done so well, and pray to Reknu to guide them through their daily tribulations. Ulyaq is far more hospitable than Vanook. The system's capital - Galyn - is on Ulyaq nestled high in the mountainous peaks of the world. The world orbits further than Vanook and consequently is checkpoint for traffic sailing in and out. |
