Mass Scale

The Reach became the standard against which mass, and size was measured across the cosmos. Three familiar bodies provided natural reference points: the star of the Reach established the unit of Stellar Mass and Size ☉, Riftmoor established World Mass ⨁, and Hep—the largest and nearest of the Reach's giants—established Giant Mass ♃.

These three units provided a simple shorthand for measuring and comparing the stars, worlds, and giants encountered as the Wardens carried mortals into new systems.

The solar system containing Riftmoor, and the Rift Scar.

There were 8 Celestial bodies in the The Reach.

Inner Zone

    1. Unnamed Inner Planet
    • No established moons

Inner-Habitable Zone

    1. Zurain — Zurn's world
    • Medra — Medu's terraformed moon; Morvaren capital world

Temperate Zone

    1. Arzad — Arzu's warm tropical rainforest world
    • 1 established moon
    1. Riftmoor
    • Kel — Kelek's partially terraformed moon
    • El — Eleos's ocean moon
    1. Paithara — Paith's cool temperate forest-and-lake world
    • Unnamed Moon — Vord's early terraformed base

Outer-Habitable Zone

    1. Unnamed Hep Giant — pink-hued ringed gas giant
    • Several unnamed moons, some frequented and partially terraformed by Hep
  • Asteroid Belt
    • Vord's semi-permanent asteroid outposts
    1. Halvord — Vord's ice giant
    • Unnamed First Moon — cold, successfully terraformed world
    • Unnamed Ice Moon — extremely cold, terraformed world
    • several unnamed cold barren or frozen moons

Outer Zone

    1. Unnamed Outer Ice Giant — pale-blue ice giant beyond the terraforming limit
    • Unnamed moons; too cold for successful open-world terraforming

It was called the reach because
