Description
This is the Solar System of the star Dendrix. The fourth planet is Keta, where my "Orion Force" RP universe is centered.

Planet Keta
Keta is considered the embodiment of a strong, neutral world, holding alliance to none but her own children. Keta is an earth-like planet in the Dendrix Primary Solar System, 575 light-years from Earth. The bright orange star Dendrix Prime drifts in a sparse stellar cluster referred to as the Rogue Dendrix Archipelago in the Great Rift between the Orion Spur and Sagittarius Arm of the Galaxy. Dendrix Prime is the largest and brightest star in the Archipelago, and its solar system has the heaviest and most diverse population in the cluster. Due to Keta’s location, it is a perfect halfway stopover point for those travelling between the Alliance or A.I. and Consortium held space. Keta has been compared to a modern-day Casablanca and has the most varied alien population in all known space. Keta is the planet Dendrix is most known for, but there are four other earth-like or near earthlike bodies in the Dendrix Primary solar system.
Keta’s gravity and air pressure are about 20% heavier than what a Human is used to on Earth. The summers are blistering, and the winters blustery. The species here are aggressive and resilient. It is a hostile place, especially to an outsider who does not know its nature. Many unwary come to Keta and are never heard from again.
The DJringlin pirate Clans may lord over Keta, but many other groups have interests across the globe. Mantaidan nation-tribes are ever present, engaging in innumerable nefarious activities. The spiritual and secretive Grotix are another of Keta’s native sentient races. A multitude of individuals from countless other races call Keta home. Maxtercorp of Planet Earth occupies the Phylos Tri-City area in the south, with an Aquillan city-state called Aephus a mountain range away. Keta is a place of extremes and wild variations.
If Keta had an official capitol city, it would be YeBocha Spaceport in the northern island continent of YeBoch-Arim. No other place on the planet epitomizes the chaotic spirit of Keta than YeBocha. The population of the city is anywhere from 28 – 30 million, but this number has not and never could be officiated. Due to the lack of regulations, anything and everything can be found here, somewhere, by someone, for the right price. (See “Dendrix Primary Solar System” for more details.) Many Humans pronounce YeBocha as “YAY boh kah”, but the more correct local pronunciation is closer to, “yeh BOO chah”.
Per Treaties with the DJringlin Clans, there are no Alliance or Aquillan Embassy within the Spaceport of YeBocha. The only one in the area is the Alliance Embassy within the Hybyari Municipality, submerged off the coast 3 miles out, 600 feet down.
