Planets
| Name | Type | Size | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ellis I | Protoplanet | 750 km | This protoplanet is a scorched, barren ball of rock and bubbling magma due to its extreme proximity to the star. While the possibility exists that there are major deposits of minerals on the planet, mining them would be far too risky. | |
| Ellis II | Smog Planet | 6,270 km | Ellis II's large size, proximity to its sun, and surprisingly thick atmosphere has left its entire surface a massive desert, marked with strange swirls and ridges created by frequent massive storms on the planet's surface. | |
| Green | Ocean Planet | 8,451 km | Habitable | The vast oceanic world is mostly known as the primary resort destination for racegoers who enjoy Green's high-end mega-resorts. In an effort to protect the elaborate underwater reefs, ships landing on the planet are directed towards specific landing zones. |
| Kampos | Super-Earth | 12,503 km | Habitable | Named after the large sea creatures that once stalked its deep oceans, Kampos was the first world settled and continues to boast the highest population center in the system. |
| Noble | Terrestrial Rocky | 6,475 km | Habitable | The emerald jewel of the system, Noble is known for the vast stretches of woodland, evoking many comparisons to an undeveloped Earth. The local Governors Council has made sustaining the planet’s natural beauty a priority. |
| Ellis VI | Terrestrial Rocky | 7,473 km | A terrestrial planet located just outside the system’s green band. Although the planet is technically uninhabited, Ellis VI has been used to conduct studies about human habitation. | |
| Ellis VII | Smog Planet | 10,007 km | A corrosive and poisonous atmosphere covers this planet making it impossible to terraform or even land on. | |
| Ellis VIII | Dwarf Planet | 2,415 km | The smallest planet in the system, Ellis VIII boasts a micro atmosphere and little else. | |
| Walleye | Puffy Planet | 76,808 km | Nicknamed Walleye by long-distance haulers, Ellis IX is a swirling gas giant that intermittently suffers from massive storms visible from space. | |
| Bombora | Gas Giant | 66,290 km | The second gas giant in Ellis system, Ellis X features a consistently turbulent atmosphere. It was this chaotic nature that led to its local nickname of Bombora. | |
| Judecca | Ice Planet | 5,276 km | A ball of ice, Ellis XII (also known as Judecca) is occasionally used for ice-mining expeditions. | |
| Pinecone | Protoplanet | 773 km | Though technically not a planet, Ellis XIII is considered a local mascot. This protoplanet’s unique shape has given it the nickname Pinecone. | |
| Ellis XI | Protoplanet | 500 km |
Moons
| Name | Type | Size | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ellis 5a | Planetary Moon | 0.351479 km | The regolith of this moon is slightly pink, making it a popular subject for lunar photography. | |
| Ellis 5b | Planetary Moon | 0.548491 km | A tidally locked moon, the planet-facing side is pristine while the star-facing side is pocked with craters. |

Asteroid Belts
| Name | Type | Size | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ellis Belt Alpha | System Belt | Perhaps the best known asteroid belt in the UEE, the Ellis Belt became famous for being a Murray Cup racetrack. Over the years, the Murray Cup has sought to acquire all rights to the belt, making mining strictly prohibited. | ||
