Settled a year after Seersana and Karaka'Ana (the first planets colonized by the Pelted). The year of the settlement of Selnor, the Accords were signed, which marks the birth of the Alliance as a political entity. All dates in the Alliance reckoning begin from this point (1 BA).

- Mention the Battle of Selnor's effects.
Geography
Gravity is much heavier than Seersana, [2] but somewhat lighter than Anseahla. [3]
Landmarks
"Both the Alliance’s capitals had been purpose-built for their work, and their designers had wanted the natural beauty of their sites integrated with their architecture; as symbol, and as aspiration for the new federation they’d been creating."[4]
- Terracentrus, summer capital
- Heliocentrus, winter capital
- Mercy Hospital, in Heliocentrus
- Fleet Academe, in Terracentrus
- Fleet Central, in orbit
- Jothan Yard, out midway through the system. (Destroyed during the First Chatcaavan War)
Pelipenele Argentson attended the Xenoanthropological University at Selnor.[5]
It's a three week trip by monorail from Alysha's hometown to Terracentrus.[6]
