Located in the Burnham sector, Athens is a tempermental planet with constantly shifting weather patterns and frequent high winds. Certain crops thrive here and the most beautiful marble is quarried on this planet.
| Athens was one of the few outer planets that supported Unification and was one of the first targets to be captured by the Independents. Reacquiring the planet was one of the priorities of the Alliance, but resistance held strong. It wasn't until the Alliance destroyed several of the main cities with bombs that they drove enough of the Browncoats out and reclaimed the planet. Eventually the Alliance allowed for legal salvage operations for those wishing to resettle the urban areas.

A small planet with extensive farming lands, often used for smuggling rendevous. Mal’s war buddy, Monty, was caught by the Alliance here. Permanent cloud cover and dense ice rings are indicative of the atmosphere. It is often used for recycling and garbage warehousing by the central planets. And what was chaff to the Central planets is often enough gold to those on the Rim and soon entrepreneurial prospecters began profitable dealings in secondhand goods. Almost anything can be found here, used parts, moderately obsolete materials, even old Fireflies. |

A Gas giant unusual in that it has only two moons, for such a large body. |

A world with a large tropical belt, with massive jungles and forests. These are harvested with a multitude of species of plants with medicinal properties. As a result, many pharmaceutical companies have set up laboratories on Greenleaf. Also, as a result, there is a fringe population that takes some of the plants to grow privately for the black market. This is a dangerous occupations since the drug companies began inserting traceable genetic markers to stop the illegal trade. This has been only nominally successful due to the fact that there are untold places for cartels to hide within the jungles. To compensate, the Alliance has clamped down on landing restrictions, though if you have the necessary knowledge of the jungles one can always slip through.
| It is ten hours away from Jiangyin.

A small mining moon, Haven is home to independent miners who thus far have refused to be shoved off. No large ore deposits have been found, but there has been enough moderate success to keep the residents hopeful. Occasionally, the citizens will discover someone working for one of the various Mining Consortiums and expel them, a little the worse for wear, with the message to "stay away." Recently, the communities have pooled together to purchase and install a surface-to-air cannon near the largest of the mining facilities in order to discourage unwanted guests.
| It was the home of Shepard Book and is a refuge for many a person of dubious employment.

A small planet suitable for ranching, foresting and not much else. The world is abundant with small towns that operate largely independent. Since it has little else to offer, the Alliance ignores the planet, rarely even patrolling the area. There is no central government; each town regulates itself. It is considered backward and primitive and it's people are desperate for even the basic of necessities, such as medical attention. The people live simply, mostly apart from the "civilized" areas. The hill folk are superstitious and uneducated, easy prey for charlatans. |

A border world whose name is a sad misnomer for the world enjoys, if such is the word, a very hot climate seriously lacking in water. What farming that exists serves only to keep the population alive; the yields are never enough for exportation. There is a narrow equitorial belt that provides the closest thing to steady rain.
| To make matters worse, the planet is rather close to Reaver territory. The population is ever fearful of an attack, believing it is just a matter of time before they are destroyed. In the belief that it would help, most of the small towns have contracted for private security in case of an attack. The payroll is delivered regularly to one of the local banks. Still, even with the proximity to the Reavers, they have little problems, not even justifying a fortified defense.

The name of a planet located beyond Reaver territory. It was home to a colony of 30 million people. The alliance conducted chemical experiements on the populace to find a way to make people more controllable. However, the experiments failds: 99.9 % of the population became so passive that they essentially lost the will to live. The opposite effect was observed in the remaining .1% who became extremely aggressive and butchered the Alliance scientists in charge of the experiments. This tenth of a percent escaped and became the Reavers. The Alliance covered up the incident so well, that only a few even know of the planet’s existence - until the existence of the planet and the incident were revealed to the world by the crew of Serenity. |

A planet of broad horizons, it was said that one could look out so far that a man could see God's plan. All that is left is a charred and blackened rock. Before the Unification war, Shadow was known for it's wide, fertile plains, grain farms and cattle ranching. Few towns dotted the landscapes. Some of those towns were large, but none could be called a city. The people were hard-working and independent-minded and Shadow was one of the first to join the side of the Independents. Most of the able-bodied volunteered early in the war.
| The Alliance sought to make an example of Shadow, bombing the towns and countryside. Instead of causeing a wavering in their belief, it only served to hardent the resolve of those who fought, and increased their hatred of the Alliance. Today, despite the terriforming being done to "heal" the land, Shadow is a ghost planet. No one lives there. No one can.

An icy world, it is one of the coldest in the 'verse. It consists almost entirely of mountains and it snows almost continually. The entire terrain is covered in ice floes and drifts, even during high summer, and it is extraordinarily hazardous to travel.
| The people here, of a necessity, or extremely hardy. The principal work is mining the rich mineral deposits deep inside the mountains. The Consortium has declared the effort of taking the ore as considerably less that cost-efficient. Thus, independent groups work together in their claims and prospect what they can. Each community is isolated and self-sufficient and as a result, they've built strong ties amongst themselves. If you offend one, you offend them all. Fortunately, the reverse is true; if you make a friend of one, you've made a friend of all. |
