All systems have at least one gas giant and to keep everything simple the border systems took over the names of these gas giants for their system name. Uninhabitable Planet -- An uninhabitable planet, it has no name as of yet and doesn't really catch anyone's interest. The planet stands too close to the sun of the Heinlein system, thus it is unable to be terraformed. Hera -- Hera was the site (via Serenity Valley) of what turned out to be the last major battle of Unification War. Hera is the breadbasket of the system. Lying between the Core and outer planets on a major shipping lane, Hera was a major strategic locus during the war. There are over half a million gravestones of those that lost their lives in the battle (from both sides), in the hills next to Serenity valley. Persephone -- Moon of Hera. Civilized but large populated planet with heavily stratified societal structure (and, as a result, a large slum population). San Fransico from Earth-that-was seems to have an influence on the architecture here. Persephone has a local monarchy. Nobility is indicated by wearing a sash. And the richer folk live in the typical high rise buildings in the center of the capital city (and other cities). Eavesdown docks is a docking port on the planet of Persephone. Seen as a lower class slum area, a lot more less well to do ships land and dock here. Instead of the 'rich' docking places. It's also a good place to look for a 'cheap' way to get off the planet, or boats who seek passengers to transport somewhere else. Santo -- Moon of Hera, and a less-sophisticated planet. Greenleaf -- A civilized planet (or at least one with good medical facilities). It was also one of the first planets to be terraformed after the initial terra-forming of the core system. It has qutie some bigger cities and even a 'rich' population. There is Alliance control seen on this planet, as well as daily shipings from and to the core system. But as all border planets there are also large slum populations. One of the problems is that a lot of farmers moved to the city to find jobs after serveral years of dry spells and harsh weather, only to find themselves without a job. Harvest -- Moon of Greenleaf that also took very well to terraforming too. Like Shadow it is a rural planet with only one larger city, further it's small towns scattered across the surface. There are many farms as it's not hard to farm here. Downside is that ground prices are higher then on most border planets due to it's good soil. Although prices seem to go down as for the second year there's been a dry spells. Shadow -- Shadow was a prairie planet that took well to terraforming. It was known for its farms and ranches. The planet was almost entirely rural: no cities and only a few towns dotted the surface. The people of Shadow were hard workers and independent-minded. It was one of the first to stand against the Alliance. Most of the planet's young people volunteered to fight for Independence. Shadow was aggressively bombed during the war in an attempt to break the Browncoats & teach them a lesson; it had the opposite effect. Today, Shadow is a ghost planet. No one lives there. No one can. Heinlein -- Gas Giant Higgin's Moon -- The moon on which Canton is located, Higgins Moon's main export is mud and other such ceramic building supplies. The magistrate appears to be among the richest of the population, the rest of the population are workers, known as mudders, working in the mud fields. Triumph -- A primitive border planet (moon of Heinlein) where most of the civilised townships are still governed by fringe religious sects with some bizarre religious ceremonies, teachings and practices. Salisbury -- Another primitive border moon of Heinlein. It's a dusty planet, but instead of it being hot, it's generally quite cold on the moon.
