Torvus Alpha

Torvus Alpha is one of the two main star systems which Sindryl inhabit. The only habitable planet in the system is Noma, a small, partially-tropical world home to the 'original' Sindryl (the feral species from which today's subspecies were forcibly evolved). Nowadays the system's most outstanding feature is the large space station orbiting TA-624, the local gas giant. This space station was initially a base of operations for a human research and colonization effort, but has since been overrun by the Fa'Sindryl created there and now serves as both their home and their base for space exploration. The humans previously occupying the station were either killed off or managed to escape, subsequently retreating into the neighboring star system, to the left half of the Torvus Beta space station, where the humans who survived the second Sindryl rebellion there resided. Both parties agreed that what they did was a mistake, and eventually abandoned the half-station after a rescue fleet of ships from the Terra Alliance were sent in to pick them up. They didn't mention the two young races they had created and left behind, putting the partial destruction of both stations down to freak accidents.

Torvus Alpha is a small star system, containing only one planet within the habitable zone (Noma), and three other planets: the gas giant, TA-624, a red planet residing closer to the system's star named TA-197, and an icy planet on the outskirts of the system, called TA-803.
