Esrevni

name: Esrevni (the modern usage).
Yzhr'vnei (Rare, but used among some minority scholars prior to the adoption of the modern name)
Ezhaneu (Ancient Sevan name prior to standardization of Sdrawkcab)

Location: (approximations)
Far to the east of the Milky Way. The average distance is unknown, but it's pretty large (Quite a few million light years is a low guess).

Inhabitable Planetary Systems: Seva, Doporhtra, Ir-ai(System containing Yrekcom)

Description: Esrevni is a large spiral galaxy similar in composition to the Milky Way. Esrevni's spiral arms are not quite as "tightly bound" as those of the Milky Way, suggesting that the center of the galaxy might be less massive.

Seva

name: Seva

Location: (approximations)
In the southern arm of Esrevni, about four parsecs from the tip and just within the inner edge.

Physical characteristics: Geologically, Seva is fairly similar to Earth, composed of large amounts of rocks and metals with a large hydrosphere. Seva has an abundance of an additional substance that seems to have a strong blue-violet color. This substance apparently responds very well to temperature changes, acting as an insulator against intense radiation or volcanic eruption. There is probably a thin layer of this substance in the atmosphere of Seva that acts as a strong shield against cosmic rays.
Seva has three massive continents, a few scattered islands (some large enough to inhabit, such as Nohin), and a large ocean that covers the majority of the surface.

Biology and societies: Biologically, the species of Seva bare a strong resemblance to those of Earth. The primary difference is the shift between mammals and birds; for some reason (perhaps related to climate?), the dominant species of Seva is a race of humans that are not mammals, but feathered people with some subtle-yet-significant structural differences from Homo sapiens. (see races).
Seva maintains multiple cultures, most of which have some form of anti-greed philosophy. Seva has played host to one major inter-cultural conflict in its history, prior to the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe. (See Esrevni timeline).

Doporhtra

name: Doporhtra, Dopohrtrha (Both are used interchangeably)

Location: On the lower edge of Esrevni's spiral arm just above and to the right of the arm containing Seva, about a lightyear to the left of Seva. The planet is very close to the edge of the arm, at times outside of it.

Physical characteristics: Doporhtra is a very rocky planet with an abundance of silicates throughout. Though the planet has large amounts of water around its surface, it doesn't have large oceans; rather, a few scattered seas and rivers. Most of Doporhtra's water is contained in small streams and springs, which provide life in many heavily-vegitated regions.
Due to its vulnerable position in space, Doporhtra's climates tend to be less divided. While the planet is on the part of its orbit outside of its home arm, it is bombarded with cosmic rays with farily even distribution. On the inner part of its orbit, Doporhtra is more susceptible to latitude-based weather patterns, though conditions make thick clouds comparatively rare.

Biology and societies: Since Doporhtra gets a dose of radiation much larger than that of Earth, the populating creatures are equipped to withstand this. Therefore, the humanoid species of Doporhtra have skin and growth structures similar to those of arthropods (Racially, insect-like skins are more common due to the social tendencies of insects). (See races).
Development and survival have historically been the demands of Doporhtran society. In many respects, social units of Doporhtra behave like those of social insects of Earth. However, Doporhtrans also bare the creative capacities of other humanoid species, allowing them to have a since of culture and a need for knowledge. While the tight social structure of Doporhtra has cut down cultural diversity, it has created a state of serious hard-working unity among the populus.
It is rare that any non-Doporhtran people will make their homes on the planet, for two primary reasons: the radiation makes it unsafe for other species for long periods of time, and the cities of Doporhtra tend to be rather crowded. (The city appearing in Planet Seva is probably an extreme case, but a good indicator.)

Yrekcom

name: Ihrekm (native name)
Yrekcom (adopted upon joining Esrevni's galactic alliance)

Location: (approximations)
In the southern arm of Esrevni, about a lightyear east of the Sole system on a Milkyway-Esrevni transposition (Such as the map on the main page). Yrekcom is about half a parsec west and some degrees from Seva.

Physical characteristics: Yrekcom has a large amount of rock and metal in its surface, almost identical to Earth. Yrekcom has less water on its surface, only two shallow and narrow seas at around 165degrees apart (longitude).
Yrekcom probably had regions similar to those of earth; a combination of climate/geological divisions. Due to the smaller amount of water on the planet, Yrekcom's rocky, mountainous, lowland, and fault-ridges are abundant. Yrekcom's equatorial regions hold the most woody vegetation.
Over time, Yrekcom's atmosphere has shifted from nitrogen/oxygen prevalent to CO2 and various hydrocarbons. The Greenhouse effect plays a similar role as it does on earth; preventing the planet from becoming too cool, but gaining unwanted intensity during the industrial ages.

Biology and societies: The lower amounts of water on Yrekcom hendered the development of large creatures (such as Dinosaurs), allowing a reptilian humanoid species to receive dominance. Many of the wild species of Yrekcom are more like to desert creatures (Tortuses, roadrunners, to name a few), due to the high temperatures and low moisture. With the expansion of the Ihrekm people, the regions of life have become more compressed.
Initially, the cultures of Yrekcom were fairly independent and varied. Over centuries of conflict and development, vast empires began to form and merge, culminating in very few cultural divides. (See Esrevni timelines, and the Seva-Yrekcom conflict.).
