Description
This is a commission done for me by dckiqThe Revla System, located in the Alpha Quadrant in my AU Abramsverse New Start series.
h ttps://seekhim.deviantart.com/gallery/44743237/Fanfiction
It is the home system of the Nlians who are members of the United Federation of Planets.
LOCATION
The Revla System is about 115 light years from Earth.
It is in the northern part of the Norayis Sector in the Alpha Quadrant
It is located within the territory of the United Federation of Planets
SYSTEM INFO
The system has one star, four planets, forty nine moons and a comet halo at the outer edge of the system
Star
REVLA
Type: G type (Yellow)
Revla is a G type yellow star, similar to Sol
Planets
ICAR
Class: K (Adaptable)
Colonized: 1870
Total Population: 25,000
Northern Pole Settlement 20,000
Southern Pole Settlement 3000
Eastern Settlement 1000
Western Settlement 1000
The first planet from the sun, Icar is a hot, arid world with several active volcanoes.
It's rich in ores and minerals, including dilithium, and is the location of the system largest mining facilities,
refineries, foundries and shipyards.
The Nlians are as meticulous and careful about the environment of Icar as they are of their home planet.
In the 400 years they've have mined Icar, they've used less than 0.3% of its resources.
NLIA
Class: M (Earth-like)
Size: Venus
Population: 500 million
Nlia is the second planet from the sun and homeworld to the Nlians.
Roughly the size of Venus, it’s largely an arid world that is mostly covered with large deserts.
Despite this, it’s home to a rich, vibrant and peaceful civilization that has lasted for thousands of years.
Moons:1
Tilva
Class: D (Barren, rocky)
Colonized:1855
Total Population:2000
Outpost 1 1400
Outpost 2 500
Outpost 3 100
Tilva is a silicate/metallic moon, similar to Earth’s Luna.
It’s rich in minerals and known for its unique geographical features.
It's outposts are used both for mining and research.
DROSHEN
Class: J (Gas dwarf)
Size: Slightly larger than Earth
Colonized: 1920
Total Population: 500
Station 1 250
Station 2 250
Droshen is a gas dwarf not much larger than Earth and is the second smallest gas giant in the sector.
Atmospheric mining takes place stations
MOONS: 8 (Class: D)
Total population: 3000
Weengo 500
Koqon 500
Poca 500
Zeenamel 500
Afray 400
Qoen 300
Torvan 200
Ayeea 100
Droshen's eight moons, all have valuable minerals and each has mining/research outposts.
ZEUNA
Class: J (Gas giant)
Size: Neptune
Colonized: 1935
Combined population: 2000
Station 1 500
Station 2 500
Station 3 500
Station 4 500
Zeuna is a ringed gas giant, slightly smaller than Neptune.
It the third smallest gas giant in the sector and it has more moons than any other planet in the sector.
Atmospheric mining takes place on four tiny stations
MOONS: 40 (All class D)
Inhabited: 12
Combined population: 2643
Gemon 543
Valeena 500
Raquel 400
Nal 300
Jaym 200
Lyray 100
An'ne 100
Eyer 100
Arro 100
Leelel 100
Fara 100
Tamiel 100
Gemon is Zeuna's largest moon and location of Nlia's Deep Space Research Center.
It was here that Warp Drive was invented in 2010.
REVLA ICE/COMET FIELD
The Field is similar to Earth’s Oort Cloud.
It is a cloud of predominantly frozen ices and marks the outer boundary of the solar system.
It’s from here that Revla’s comets originate.
In 1839 the Field posed the greatest threat to Nlia when a 14 km comet was dislodged from its orbit
and sent on a collision course with Nlia.
The Nlians, who had recently become space faring, successfully launched missiles to destroy the comet.
After this they accelerated their space program.

I spotted an interesting bit here: If Nilan history is largely without major wars--at least by Earth standards--how did they come to develop nuclear bombs? Did they have to do a crash Manhattan Project style effort in order to create something powerful enough to alter a comet's course in a hurry?

Glad you spotted that. I'm thinking about changing it to a different power source, this is another planet after all.
The Nlians had experimented with explosives for centuries. They would use them to clear landscapes
and blast holes through mountain ranges in mining and construction. In 912 A.D they discovered Green Fire,
their most powerful incendiary substance. They discovered it was a powerful energy source as well and it
was the main power source of their rockets when they started exploring space in the 1800's. That's why their
nacelles are green.
By 1816 the space age began. By the time the comet threat became appearant in 1839 they had built
a permanent space station and telescope in orbit and had regular moon landings
When they found out the comet was coming their projections showed that it would approach Nlia in three
years and they used that time to prepare. They did have a Manhattan Project style project, but they had
already had experience with explosives. They spent that time designing the largest and most powerful rockets
they'd ever designed and they used Green Fire which I suppose is similar to nuclear power

I'm guessing this Green Fire is a fissionable element or mineral found on Nila; maybe a 'cleaner' form that has explosive power without long term radioactive contamination.

I suppose I'm no engineer.
Another thing about the Green Fire is that the Nlians were as cautious with using it as they were
with everything else in their environment. It was their most powerful substance, but they seldom
used it in blasting, preferring to use other substances. When they used it on the comet that
was the most destructive use they ever put it and they only used a very small amount.
When Federation scientists studied Green Fire they discovered that it could be used as a
safe, highly efficient power source, but if used as a large scale explosive weapon it very quickly
went out of control with devastating consequences. In other words the blast would be a LOT
bigger than planned.
If Green Fire had ben native to Earth it no doubt would have been used as a weapon
and the result would have been catastrophic.
