Nasera System
The Nasera System lies in the Deneb Sector. Highly rich in resources, it was one of the first systems to be settled in the region, during the early years of the Federation when colonists were still at risk of aggression from the Kzinti Patriarchy. As such, it is a populous, industrial place, with facilities across the system. The main settlements, however, are on Nasera II.
In 2401 it was captured and occupied by the Dominion Lost Fleet.
System Industry
Almost every one of the nine planets in the system is industrialised in some way. Gas mining is conducted around the gas giant of Nasera VI, including mining of its rings. Precious minerals are mined for on many of the other worlds. The ice planet of Nasera VIII has large quantities of frozen heavy water, and its processing provides an abundant source of fuel. An asteroid belt rings the system between the second and third planets, and is likewise a hub of consistent asteroid mining.
This makes the system a bustling hub of facilities, systems, patrol ships, and stations. Under Dominion rule, these are forced to continue their work, but with millions of people living in Nasera, there is only so much oversight that can be provided by a finite number of Jem’Hadar and Vorta. Some industry the Dominion deems unnecessary to their cause has been shut down as a result.
The main hub of the system’s operations is in the orbital facility above Nasera II. From here, local patrols and monitoring systems are overseen, incoming traffic vetted and directed, and any of the system’s automated defensive systems are managed. It is a bustling centre of activity, especially for those whose business does not bring them to the surface.
Nasera II
The inhabitable planet of Nasera II is home to the majority of the system’s inhabitants and its capital, Nasera City. A highly urbanised settlement with a population of eight million, it is a huge city of soaring towers and the personal shuttles essential to travelling its vast reaches.
Outside of Nasera City lie the homes of the leaders of governance, industry, and society. These are generally surface-level buildings, comfortable estates adjacent to the rural regions that are themselves hubs of agriculture, recreation, and conservation. To the east of the city lies the planet’s largest ocean and its huge dock complex that again serves recreation as much as industry. To the south is the spaceport, a vast surface facility to manage almost all transport of incoming craft with landing capabilities, for both business and pleasure.

- Members who are not part of this mission may refer to Nasera as a known Federation colony conquered by the Dominion, but should not integrate it into their stories without consulting the mission’s writer.
- Nasera is one of the oldest Federation holdings in the region. It is thus a well-developed and bustling hub, home to all manner of species. There are also many possible points of interest only alluded to here or not mentioned at all - additional points of industries, settlements on Nasera II, districts in Nasera City. These can be freely developed. The place is huge.
