City worlds

City worlds are powerful planets of great importance in the local region. They are characterized by large populations counted in the millions that are centered in one or more major urban centers. They are also notable for having access to major technological and industrial capacity, which is only rarely found outside of the city worlds.

City worlds are rare, but mostly located within a central cluster of the local region. They are contrasted with the rural worlds, which are much more numerous, but with vastly smaller populations.

Kergeth
A dry and warm planet, unwelcoming to human habitation at first glance, Kergeth nonetheless became settled by Tôr refugees during their exodus. Despite the heat and lack of major arable land, the people of Kergeth have endured and built a functioning society in the sand and sun-scorched rocks.

Nehim
Chaotically accepting people fleeing from the demise of Tôr, Nehim long became a place of conflict and strife. But rising from these problems, it managed to bring the entire local region to kneel as the capital world of the Covenant.

Reese
Reese is not a unified planet, instead having two major cities that have been at each other's throats for centuries.

Seignet-Kar
Described as the "most rural" of the City planets, this oxymoron of a world features and society more akin to the rural worlds, but on a much larger scale. Its only city - named like the planet it was built on - grants it a spot on the list of City worlds.

Taranosa
By far the most populated and prestigious of the City worlds, Taranosa was long the dominant power in the local region - until Nehim brought the world to its knees. But through sheer potential power, Taranosa continues to resist its interstellar overlord.

Cornor
Razed by the Covenant in the beginning of its interstellar hegemony, Cornor was denied the right to rebuild its capital city Cornoris for more than half a century, with permission only granted in the last Terran decade.

Tôr
Almost a millennia ago, Tôr was the strongest and most populated planet in the local region. It experienced a catastrophic climate change that led to an evacuation of its population, which was scattered across the stars.
