*'''Cobweb''': a tiny world of barely 2,000 km, it is locked in a Trojan orbit with Moth. It has little significance apart from a subglacial ocean system and groups of methane lakes on the surface. It is approximately fifty million kilometers from Titania. | *'''Cobweb''': a tiny world of barely 2,000 km, it is locked in a Trojan orbit with Moth.

*'''Ariel''': a minor world measuring at 4000 kilometers, it it tectonically active, possesses water ice on its poles, and is otherwise barren. It was chosen for its proximity to The Obelisk to be settled. | |||
*'''Mustardseed''': originally misclassed as a rocky world due to its great distance, further expeditions showed that it is in fact a MicroJovian (or a Gas dwarf) of almost 14000 kilometers in diameter, or a third of Titania's observed size, and has cleared a gap of nearly two hundred thousand kilometers in the rings, the largest yet, and is approximately seventy five million kilometers from Titania. There are no signs of life recorded anywhere on the planet. It possesses two moons. | *'''Mustardseed''': originally misclassed as a rocky world due to its great distance, further expeditions showed that it is in fact a MicroJovian (or a Gas dwarf) of almost 14000 kilometers in diameter, or a third of Titania's observed size, and has cleared a gap of nearly two hundred thousand kilometers in the rings, the largest yet, and is approximately seventy five million kilometers from Titania.

Despite the misgivings of the council, a suitable satellite was chosen, named Ariel by the Hierarchy, and a colony was set up. It was primitive, constructed out of some of their few surviving Cabal carriers too heavily damaged for resource gathering, meaning the colony became mostly populated with Cabal. Additional settlements were created for the Eliksni. Magnetic accelerators were built on the planet's surface to launch material and other useful resources into space. Slowly, the new multispecies civilization grew larger. | |||
During this time, some fifty years of peace and rebuilding had passed, and the girl known as [[Forum:Mallory Bertha|Mallory Berta]] was born to a mixed Awoken/human couple. Members of the council settled down and started their own families. Communications was kept open with the Hierarchy and their Hiver servants. | |||
