Bishopian System

The Bishopian system is a planetary system orbiting a red giant star. While there are many objects stuck in the gravitational pull of Chessuk II, only five are planet-sized. The closest four are terrestrial planets, while the furthest, Ranghok, is a gas giant.

The system is located dangerously close to the Center of the Universe, and is actually orbiting around the supermassive blackhole.

Terrestrial Planets
Four of the five planets have dense, rocky compositions. These four are, in order of proximity to the star, Kamizam, Bishop, Nevia and Tiberius. Their mineral composition is mostly uniform, with many of the normal metals easily accessible in their crust. There is another interesting thing to not, though; the terrestrial planets have a strangely high amount of unstable material, mostly uranium. This makes them very profitable mining planets.

Kamizam
The closest planet to the star is Kamizam. It is a very unstable planet, as its proximity to Chessuk II makes it susceptible to solar flares that utterly destroy any possible atmosphere. However, its high concentrations of uranium, the infrequent showering of molten gold and the large veins of other valuable materials make it a hot mining planet.

Bishop
Bishop is one of the two planets in the system to be naturally inhabited by a sapient race. The planet itself is very strange; it seems that there is a large artificial structure descending into the core of the planet itself that keeps it stable. The technology involved is too advanced for any modern work, but has lead to new breakthroughs. The people of the planet call it "the Rift". 5,000 years ago, the Rift opened. Bishop descended into chaos as natural disasters sprung up across the world. Now, bridges span across the gap, but there are frequent eruptions that make the bridges and surrounding area unsafe. This has led to the two sides of Bishop almost becoming their own planets, having very minimal contact with each other.

Nevia
Almost right before the Rift opened on Bishop, a squadron of ships were sent on a mission to colonize Nevia. When they landed, they realized all communication with Bishop had ceased. But even without Bishop's guidance, the colonies flourished. Soon, the planet of Nevia declared its independence from Bishop. Now, 5,000 years later, the original colonies have evolved into many different sovereign states. The majority of civilization still only exists in the South-East hemisphere, where the colony ships landed.

Tiberius
While Tiberius appears to be a gas giant, this is in fact false. It is actually an artificially created planet that has a perfected atmosphere and food web.

Ranghok
Rhangok is the only gas giant in the Bishopian system, but it is just as important as the rest. Just as the others are rich in unstable materials, Ranghok has high concentrations of valuable gases as well. Hydrogen-3 and uranium hexafluoride are the two most valuable, and the two that are mined the most.
