The Dright System is at the current center of Olaxis. The namesake planet of the system and its eight moons are verdant places where food grows abundantly. There was never any overarching government for the system or its Celestial Bodies, just small village councils of farmers. That all changed when Dright became the center of the galaxy. The farmers who worked the land for decades are now caught up in a war between the Ulran Socialist Republic and a large force of kith’uks. Most of the conflict’s violence takes place on the surface of the main planet, decimating what was once fertile land. Both sides in this war control four of Dright’s moons, where the Wealthy and Overguilds carry out their day-to-day lives, hoping the war doesn’t spill over to them.

Borders

Population Density
