Name: Mazayan [muh-ZY-ehn]
Galactic Location: In the upper latter quadrant of the universe.
Neighboring Systems: 1.25 months away from Rell to the south-east; 2.5 months away from X to the south; 1.5 months away from Os to the south-west; 1.5 months away from Ka Su Len to the north-west.
Worlds In System: Hune, Besh, Mente
Natives: lau, theragon, zsoni
Colonists: human
System Formation: Second Category. The three worlds face away from each other so that the non-polar sides of their gravitic ore point inwards, and the sun swings an ellipse around them. The worlds spin like frisbees, creating seasonal change, and the sun's orbit creates a day-night cycle; the night is roughly twice as long as the day and can get considerably colder. With these types of sun systems, the seasons are most extreme near the edges of the worlds, becoming more uniform and changeless towards the center of the planet. All second-category systems are horizontally aligned, so that the planets face outwards towards other systems and the sun's ellipse is horizontal.
About the System: Mazayan is best-known as the origin of the lauhi, one of the most useful races in the universe for their distance-irrelevant telepathy. Humans have also taken an interest in Mazayan for theragons and zsoni on Besh, with whom they can form very effective partnerships. The Coalition is particularly strong on Besh, overthrowing Lightworker status and removing those of the Light from that world. Mazayan is included in travel lines, mostly for transportation of lauhi and whatever humans (and, occasionally, theragons or zsoni) are coming or going; very little trade comes to this system. Hune is Light-policed, but the other two worlds are not.
