System Overview
The New Hazelton System, located in the British Columbia Sector
Overview A Sector, commonly referred to as a Provincial Sector, is a designated area of space within the broader and diverse cosmic region known as the Canadian Expanse. These Sectors function similarly to provinces, contributing to the organization and governance of this vast territory. Structure and Division The Canadian Expanse is divided into thirteen Provincial Sectors, each with its own... More, comprises six planets, each offering unique features. The system’s primary star, Hazelton Prime, is a G-type main-sequence star (Yellow Dwarf), providing a stable environment conducive to life on its habitable planet, New Hazelton Prime (New Hazelton III).
Astrophysical Characteristics
Hazelton Prime is a G-type main-sequence star, also known as a yellow dwarf, with an estimated age of 4.6 billion years. The system lies approximately 340 light-years from Earth. Among the six planets, New Hazelton Prime (New Hazelton III) is the only one known to support life. The system is also noted for its frequent auroras, a result of New Hazelton Prime’s strong magnetic field.
Planets and Major Bodies
New Hazelton I (Kitimat): The first planet in the New Hazelton System, New Hazelton I is a small, rocky world with a thin atmosphere. Its proximity to Hazelton Prime makes it an inhospitable place for life as we know it.
New Hazelton II (Terrace): Positioned second in the system, New Hazelton II is a desert planet characterized by its hot, arid environment and vast desert landscapes. Water is scarce, and the planet’s surface is marked by ancient riverbeds and expansive dunes.
New Hazelton III (New Hazelton Prime): The third planet and the primary habitable world in the system, New Hazelton Prime boasts a temperate climate and rich biodiversity. It is known for its lush forests, majestic mountains, and deep cultural heritage tied to the Gitchi-mando and JotunConservation Status Not Evaluated (NE) Scientific Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Hominidae Genus: Gigantus Species: G. sapiens Binomial Name Gigantus sapiens Common Names Jotun General Information Gigantus sapiens, commonly referred to as Jotun, are a towering species native to the Newfoundland and Labrador Sector, spreading across the New Kalmar Union.

New Hazelton IV (Skeena): This massive gas giant occupies the fourth position in the system. Skeena is distinguished by its colorful cloud bands and numerous moons, some of which are of interest to scientists and explorers.
New Hazelton V (Kitwanga): The fifth planet, New Hazelton V, is an ice-covered world with extensive glaciers and frigid temperatures. It offers a stark contrast to the more temperate New Hazelton Prime.
New Hazelton VI (Nass): Another gas giant, New Hazelton VI is the largest planet in the system. It features a powerful magnetic field and an array of natural satellites, some potentially harboring subsurface oceans.
