Eclade The planet is covered in mostly water and ice. The humanoid inhabitants dwell on islands or on ships at sea their entire lives. With evolution, Ecladians have gained thick, shark-like skin and webbed hands and feet to help them move faster through the waters. Ecladians have the ability to manipulate and control water and ice, though this ability works better off Eclade than it does on their home planet. The climate on Eclade ranges from tropical and humid around the equator of the planet, to dry and frigid near the poles. Utilizing their planets abundant natural resources and interplanetary travel the Ecladians have become the sole source of fish and undersea plant life for several, less aquatic systems. This trading has proven to be highly beneficial to the Ecladians, for example the water breathers given in trade by the technologically minded people of Drion. Ecladians do not do well in dry heat and can die without proper hydration easily. Because they live on ships, Ecladians are the best sailors in the system.

Drion Drionians have a natural ability to generate and manipulate electricity at will. They can use this ability to sense electrical disturbances as well and use it often, as the surface of their planet is frequently plagued by electrical storms. While this is a technologically advanced society, the entirety of its inhabitants live underground to protect their electronic devices from interference. Because of their underground lifestyle, Drionians are proficient miners, pulling precious metals and gemstones from their planet to export on the world market alongside their manufactured electronics. Because of their advanced technology, Drion is well advanced in the medical field as well. Most inhabitants end up as either miners, doctors, or inventors. Lithe in build and quick in thought and movement, Drionians are very inquisitive if not a little off from one too many shocks as children. Their hair usually stands on end due to their electrical proclivities. Because of their advancements, Drionian ships usually have the best maneuverability.

Sondara Sondara can be best refered to as arid. The planet is mostly desert, moutains and deep gorges, allowing the air to travel freely. However Sondarans are right at home, manipulating the air around them to travel. This also gives them the ability to manipulate air off-world, though depending on the atmospheric conditions of whatever planet they are on, their powers can change drastically. Sondara's gravity is half of the rest of the planets', allowing the thin, aerodynamically garbed Sondarans to fly freely on the planet without aid. Off world most Sondarans use gliders to travel and fly through the air. Being that most Sondarans are fun-loving adventurers, most tend to explore, having grown up in a nomadic lifestyle on their home planets.

Neocine A small planet at the edge of the Abydos system, Neocine receives very little light in their year due to their elliptical orbit. This planet in ancient times was a prison planet and the most dangerous prisoners were sent to die, however they thrived. Being that this planet is in perpetual darkness, the inhabitants have adapted over time. Their plant-life consists mainly of luminescent fungi and the only wildlife are creatures that thrive in darkness, making life on Neocine very deadly to outsiders. Besides the flora and fauna of this hostile planet, the water contains toxins, which in excess, can kill off-worlders. Neocinians have evolved as this now makes them immune to most poisons and toxins. The poor water quality on Neocine results in acid rain to fall during the rainy season, forcing the inhabitants to live underground or migrate depending on the acidity of the rain falling. Neocinians control darkness and shadows and seem to disappear in the darkness with ease. The inhabitants have also gained the ability to see on the UV spectrum as well, though this makes their eyes extremely sensitive to light as well as shining in light like any animal on Neocine. Due to their history and lifestyle, most Neocinians have a predatory animal-like movement about them, observing the situation from afar before taking action. Most exports from Neocine include poisons or weapons, and the occasional spy or assassin. Depending on their profession and their family's lifestyle, Neocinian can range from lithe to muscular in build, though all are identified by their pale skin and purple, clouded eyes. The gravity on Neocine is twice that of other planets, excluding Sondara and Tartarus, resulting in inhabitants being faster and stronger off-world. However because of the toxins found in their water, Neocinians must poison their own water to survive. Regular drinking water with no toxins will eventually kill a Neocinian.

Prioria Prioria's orbit is close to both its suns, making the climate dry and hot. It is common for firestorms to roll on the surface. Priorians can manipulate and generate fire. It doesn't work well on their home planet, mainly all it allows them is to survive firestorms though prolonged exposure to firestorms will burn or kill a Priorian. Fire Crystals are the main export of Prioria and because of their abundance, all Priorians have red hair. Priorians are famous for their short tempers, though a dispute can be solved in 5 minute through a fight. Besides theirs short tempers, Priorians are usually friendly and are hired off world as guards.

Tartarus Tartarus is the most Earth-like planet, the climate is fair and ever changing as well as hosting variety of ecosystems on the planet. Tartans have the ability to control earth, rock and some metals. Muscular for their line of work, Tartans are known for herding livestock that feeds most of the system as well as being the best builder of ships and industry throughout the system. Hardheaded and ready to stand their ground, Tartans are not easily shaken. The gravity on Tartarus is twice that of other planets, much like Neocine. Because of the gravitation difference, Tartans usually don't realize their own strength off world, which gets them into trouble.

Cordius The gleeming metropolis of the system, Cordius is said to be the most peaceful and intelligent planet. It has as fair a climate as Tartarus, and houses the most wealthy beings in the system. Cordians have the ability to generate and control light though some have taken to absorbing light for scientific or religious studies. It was ultimately outlawed by the Cordian empire after several deaths occurred and leaders from neighboring planets voiced concerns of the practice causing trouble. Cordius seems to be the best of all the other planets put together, resulting in its election to be head of the Abydos Empire even if some races disagree with this fact. Because of their control of light, they have the fastest ships in the systems.
