THE LAPTEV SYSTEM
The Laptev System is the home system of the Jade Empire and its allies in the Laptev Axis, centered around a G-type main-sequence star known as Stays. It has two naturally habitable planets, Laptev and Neusattar. The Laptev System originated in the FB-1 region, but during the events of Deep Harvest in 2466 AT the Laptev Axis employed vast single-use Entropic Drivers to translate the entire system to the NS-1 region, using advance probes to find a location that matched the conditions of the system's original location.
The Laptev System boasts seven true planets. Don, closest to Stays, is a small, dense terrestrial planet with a negligible atmosphere. It is rich in iron oxide which gives it a high density and a red hue.
Laptev is the second planet in the system, and is home to the Jade Empire of Ingen, the Ystovian Reich and the People's Republic of Imaginarium. It is a medium sized terrestrial planet with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere and is one of two planets in the system that naturally supports biological life. It is the capitol planet of all three nations and is also the seat of the Laptev Axis. It is orbited by the Saito Shipyards. Neusattar is the third planet in the system and is also a terrestrial planet with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. A small, dense planet, it is home to the Sattran, Suedian and Mediolanii cultures, is entirely controlled by the Jade Empire of Ingen, orbited by the Famke Shipyards. |

The fourth planet in the system is Sathi. A dense terrestrial planet, it has an atmosphere of nearly 96% carbon dioxide and is covered in clouds of reflective sulfuric acid. It has surface temperatures in excess of 400°C and is easily visible to the naked eye at night from both Laptev and Neusattar.
Beyond Sathi is the first FTL-Interdiction Shell, maintained by the Jade Empire of Ingen, at a distance of roughly 0.5 AU from the system core. Jolpatyr, the largest planet in the Laptev System, is a gas giant composed primarily of hydrogen with around a quarter of its mass composed of helium. It is also very bright and visible to the naked eye and has been known to humans on both planets since before written history.
Grond, known as Jolpatyr's Dog, is a small planet made of a solid iron-nickel core, a liquid hydrogen and helium layer and then a gaseous outer layer. It is surrounded by rings of debris, mostly ice and space dust. The second FTL-Interdiction Shell lies beyond Grond, and far outside that shell is Semonov, a dwarf planet composed primarily of ice and rock .
