Alpha Caeli Vb–h, also known as the Solomons, were the second to eighth moons orbiting the planet Alpha Caeli V in the Alpha Caeli System of the Frontier's Far Reach.
History[]
Until the 2160s, the Solomons were regarded as the farthest recorded reach of humanity, largely due to the fact that many expeditions exploring beyond the Alpha Caeli System never returned. The moons featured the "Solstice" Solar Array, the largest such installation in known space.[1]
Climate and terrain[]
The climate and temperature varied from one moon to the next; resultantly, local conditions ran the gamut from climate controlled pressure domes to cold terraformed atmospheres.[1]
Economy[]
Key resources in the Solomons included niobium, neodymium, chromium, helium-3, hematite, and platinum.[1]
Population[]
As of 2183, the Solomons' human population stood at 3,000,000.[1]
Points of interest[]
The United States Colonial Marine Corps Eridani Marine Space Force maintained a garrison on Alpha Caeli Vg. Additionally, various mining colonies were scattered throughout the seven moons, while Seegson maintained an office on one of the moons.
