In its beginning, the inner planets of the Mavros System were rogue planets that had fallen into orbit around the singularity at about the same time that a rogue star was being consumed by it. This serendipity meant that life was able to evolve on the planets and it did so fast enough that three scientifically advanced civilisations were born.

The three inhabited planets began to communicate with one another and identified that their source of light and heat was the accretion disk of the black hole. Working together they developed space travel within the system and began to co-ordinate research and development of enormous vessels capable of manipulating the motion of planets and even of stars.

Over time they worked together and drew more rogue stars in to feed the singularity and keep the accretion disk fuelled to maintain the habitability of their home worlds. The home planets though did not fare so well. In time their orbits decayed and even the advanced technologies of their inhabitants could not save them.

So it was that new planets, drawn in by the singularity, were pulled into orbit by the gravitational engineering vessels and the old, dying worlds were moved further in where they were torn apart and formed the asteroid belt.

At present there are five planets orbiting in the habitable zone of the Mavros System. Descended by many generations from the original three.

• Pithika, a temperate planet, is home to the Pithik civilisation.
• Erponia, an arid planet, is the current home of the Erponic civilisation. It is being prepared for evacuation to New Erponia.
• Arkona, an snow capped planet, is the recently inhabited home of the Arkoan civilisation
• Nova Erponia, a desert planet, is currently being terraformed ready for occupation by the Erponic civilisation.
• Nekro Arkona, a frozen planet, is being prepared for removal to the asteroid belt following the evacuation of the Arkoan civilisation.
