Ceradine
Class G Yellow White Dwarf (VII)
One of the many systems in the Xan Sector along the Manda Merchant Route, the system sees a considerable amount of inner-system traffic that is often little more than ships adjusting their headings or refueling. 

Panitha
Class B Geomorteus

Shurat
Class K Adaptable
Thousands of years ago, Republic colonists discovered a vast network of tunnels beneath the surface of the planet, created by unknown hands that left no trace of their civilization. Colonists moved in and occupied the tunnels, and as their numbers grew, new chambers and tunnels were carved from the rock. Now millions of people dwell within the world, and the only sign of civilization on the surface are a handful of communication towers and ship docking bays.

Hanging in orbit are the Shurati Shipyards, a small facility that predominantly handles ship repairs, although a substantial portion of the facility is dedicated to manufacturing new ship parts. While the facility once was dedicated to producing small merchant freighters, since the Clone Wars they have focused more on after-market and replacement parts, as their own ship designs were often outclassed and sold poorly. 

Hosharra
Class T Ultragiant
Several large gas refineries orbit the planet, almost entirely operated by droid workers. Most of these refineries were established a few short years before the outbreak of the Clone Wars by the Techno Union, and largely without any fanfare or announcement. During the Clone Wars, the refineries ramped up production, and would ship large concentrations to be used in the Separatist’s war efforts. While a single attempt at sabotage was thwarted by onboard security personnel, no further incidents occurred, and when the Empire arose, the control of the refineries passed to the Mining Guild.

Asteroid Belt
Tens of thousands of people live among the asteroids, primarily miners who spend their lives cracking apart asteroids and mining the precious minerals within. While very few pirates operate within the belt, as the mining results are rarely lucrative enough to make piracy attractive, there are conflicts among various ship crews and small companies involving claim jumping. During the Republic, the belt was rather untamed and had zero oversight, but early in the days of the Empire patrols of the area became a regular process. Unfortunately the New Republic has deemed the belt to be low priority, and while patrols may occur, they are seldom and sporadic.

Gelathra
Class J Gas Giant
Hanging in the upper atmosphere are a number of research stations, once well funded by the Old Republic, but during the Imperial Era most of them have fallen into disuse, with most being mothballed and a few slowly falling into degrading orbits until they are crushed by the planet’s gravity. 
However, two of the floating research stations which were previously abandoned have found new life as airspeeder docks. In recent years, a dangerous sport has emerged, wherein people race airspeeders through the upper atmosphere, dodging pockets of unstable gasses and electrical storms which flare up almost without warning. Occasional deaths occur when a pilot misjudges and their speeder plummets into the crushing depths of the planet’s gravity well. While several petitions to the New Republic have been made, proposed legislation surrounding the sport has yet to be ratified into law. Thus, it has become an interesting spectator sport for those passing through the system.

The Hythos System

Added the Hythos system to Star Systems!

Hythos
Class G Yellow White Dwarf (VII)
Due to the amount of foodstuffs being exported from the planet of Ocastus, the system has a sizable patrol to ward off pirates, after they had preyed upon cargo ships for a few short years.  While the patrol craft is composed of an aged Acclamator-class cruiser and a handful of Corellian Corvettes, combined, they are more than a match for any pirate force. These vessels are both supplied and maintained on Ocastus, one of the few planets in the Sector wealthy enough to maintain such a fleet.

Ocastus
Class M Terrestrial
One of a pair of planets set in a binary orbit around one another, Ocastus is teeming with life and the skies are regularly filled with transports shuttling grain and vegetables to starports so that they can be shipped offworld. Nearly a billion people inhabit the world, distributed predominantly in small farming towns and the occasional city built around a starport. 

A considerable amount of arable land exists within the temperate zones of the planet, much of which was converted to farmland thousands of years ago. Additionally, the vast ocean that wraps around the equator of the planet is teeming with rapid growing kelp and fish. The exports from the planet feed a considerable number of inhabitants of nearby star systems, and the planet has been referred to as “The Breadbasket of the Xan Sector”. 

The waters of the equatorial ocean are so calm that a number of wealthy nobles have large floating houses that are seasonally relocated via tugs. It is from these massive mansions on the waves that they oversee the governance of the planet. 

Mesarai
Class N Reducing
Unlike the planet’s partner, which dances around in the same orbit through the system, Mesarai is a dead world. The surface of the planet is a barren wasteland, beneath a thick atmosphere of poisonous gas, ensuring that nothing lives. 

Nadulu
Class I Gas Supergiant
For a short period of time during the chaos of the fall of the Empire, a small pirate force established a base on the third moon, called Gestirro. From there, they began raiding cargo ships leaving Ocastus, demanding that they be paid tribute. However, after they kidnapped and ransomed one of the nobles of Ocastus, a system defense patrol was established. 

Lokirra
Class J Gas Giant 
Gas mining stations in the upper atmosphere have always had particular difficulty with the planet, as the mix of elements often creates pockets of corrosive vapors which quickly degrade nonmetallic parts. After several centuries of attempting to turn a profit have failed, with most companies barely breaking even, the planet is largely seen as a failed investment, with the Mining Guild having attempted for a few months to keep an operation going before admitting defeat and salvaging the station.
