Tarthian Tour Company Top Stops

In Top Stops, you’ll discover which planet was the first to be created by the Terraformers Circle of Fellowship, and which planets have mysterious ruins known as the “Gates of Life.” Do the ruins point to visitation by aliens, or settlement by common ancestors?

Explore the powerful Thieves’ Guild and take a ride to Sanity IV — a planet torn apart, harvested to build new worlds. Which building is the tallest in the empire and who owns it? Find out why jumping into space makes everything black and white — for a moment. How tiny would you look standing in the courtyard of the Conqueror’s Palace? All roads lead to Tarth, the Empire’s capitol and shining star… plus much more.

At the Mercy of Her Pleasure
(Antonello Brothers)

To free his enslaved brother from a cruel master, an all-party-fun-and-games thief must take on the hardest assignment of his life: stealing from the Empress.

To make matters worse, he has no choice but to work with a by-the-book rebel captain whose addictive pheromones could jeopardize the mission and destroy his will. When the unthinkable happens and the captain professes her love for him, he must decide if what he feels is real.

Can he trust this woman? If he loves her back, can he still save his brother? Or will he end up at the mercy of her pleasure forever?

She’s addictive. He can’t touch her. But what if he kissed her just once…

Tarth, All Roads Lead Home

(Planet shown without shielding)

Security is high on Tarth, and ships entering the guarded space are subject to boarding and destruction without proper passcodes.

Tarth City (image below, showing a view of the Nizamrak Building) numbers 40 million people divided into 153 districts averaging 260,000 residents each. A twelve-block-wide park bisects the entire city, providing greenspace and recreation. The transportation system is the most advanced in the empire, and hustles commuters on round-the-clock shifts throughout the city. Ground traffic is permitted only with special license and is granted only for specified times of the day.

The Conqueror's Palace on Tarth is hewn from white marble imported from Sanity III. Since the planet was taken apart and used for terraforming resource material, the marble is irreplaceable. Note the size of the guards in comparison to the wall. The palace is visible from high orbit and dominates the city skyline. Only a handful of buildings are taller, including the Nizamrak Building.

For size, note the guards in the foreground.

As an example of the city's advanced transportation and public event capabilities, Destine Pietan Stadium can hold up to 65,000 people, and has a ticketing, entry and egress system which accommodates up to three shows daily. There are never lines, waiting, or crushing crowds. Tarth City is the showcase of the empire.

Whinbrice, Home of Skovron Stadium and Fine Wine

Whinbrice, a bright blue world with fertile oceans and landmasses.

The Skovron stadium opened in Birit 4664, only days before it hosted Wind and Thunder's Claw Rock Tour. Over sixty-four thousand people attended. The stadium's unusual spired arches permit outdoor seating in good weather, but a weather-resistant force field can generate within four seconds of a drop of rain. The underside of the arches can also render holographic images, permitting all seats to have an unobstructed view of the stage.

Wind and Thunder's opening number using the stadium's holosystem to create life-like clouds and lightning flashes. When the group came on stage, lightning appeared to arc over their bodies. One by one, they thrust their hands toward different parts of the stadium and the holosystem cast the "lightning" over the audience. The effect was so realistic, hundreds of attendees ran for the exits. Paramedics treated several for panic attacks. The effect was dropped for the second show.

During that program, lead singer Gelina Fasra's voice rose so high that a window in the control panel shattered. The band's security company, For Women Only, immediately shut down the show and hunted for snipers.

The crystal-based ground on one continent produces fine wines that are sold empire wide. Luc Saint-Cyr owns a large vineyard there. Skovron burgundy is among the finest in the empire.

Tyris, Tyran Homeworld

The Tyran are goat-like humanoids with hooves and horns. Most horns turn upward and/or outward, but a rare few curl backward or down.

Tyran technology has long harnessed anti-gravity. However, recent studies have hinted that its use may be affecting their sun. In the last fifteen years, it has changed from a benevolent provider of heat and light to an unpredictable tyrant.

Both genders live in clutches of fifteen to twenty centered around work. Although close bonds often form between sexual partners, relationships are far from monogamous, and cohabitation of genders purely for sexual purposes is rare in the extreme. Reproduction is neither sought nor avoided.

Sports of all types interest them, and clutches made of both genders form to enjoy them. From age two, male children live in all male clutches, females in female, until they turn seven, at which time a Tyran is considered adult. Five Tyran years equal one Tradestandard year, making the Tyran age of consent thirty-five tradestandard years. Life span is over one hundred forty tradestandard years.

Art varies from painting and sculpture to high tech; their music takes all forms. One of their religions consists merely of passing newborns through the "Gates of Life. "

Trien, Home of the FIST

In the foreground, a carrier is near completion. As an indication of relative size of the two ships, a carrier holds twenty squadrons of fifteen to twenty fighters each, plus ship's company, and all support staff for the squadrons. The total crew complement is nearly six thousand people.

There is another station visible in the deep background on the other side of Trien and its moons. Many stations make up the FIST.
