	'''Alara:''' The center for many logistics operations and spaceports, located several miles down the Sarı River from New İzmir. Unusually for Elyra, one of the megacorporations has limited influence here; it is home to a small [[Orion Express]] spaceport, and Alara and New Suez are usually how Elyrans receive goods from Orion Express and the wider Spur. Winter sports like skating and hockey are common on Alara due to its place on Lake Böbrek, and Alara hosts the planet’s basketball team, the Bursan Phoenixes.

	'''Tawûsî:''' The largest city on Hatay, an ~~oil~~ and ~~farming city with~~ comparatively mild winters compared to the rest of the planet. It houses the Morningstar spaceport, and is the primary residence of most of the NCP population on Bursa; around 10% of the city’s population is of Dominian descent. Because of this, Tawûsî hosts the annual Morozian Culture Festival (which is something of a misnomer, as the festival includes pan-Imperial culture) in early September, coinciding with the Feast of Joy. Recent crackdowns and attention brought to it by pundits of the Elyran People’s Party have led to the festival taking on more of an underground nature, with individual neighborhoods and community centers coming together to celebrate. Tawûsî is also home to the largest museum on the planet, the Balmumcu Museum of Elyran History.

	Bursa is the third planet in the Alaz-Khan star system. Its sister planets are Ebren, a rocky, barren world close to the star, Ashina, a world with a surface of lava and rock, and beyond Bursa itself, Kyzaghan the gas giant and its two asteroid “moons”. Bursa is orbited by its moon Asena, which is mined frequently for its veins of phoron.		Bursa is the third planet in the Alaz-Khan star system.

	Another Earth-originating animal that has been bred for life on the planet is the Bursan cow, ''bos taurus''. Artificially selected and genetically modified for thicker fur and layers of fat, the Bursan cow is a heavyset, hardy animal, usually around two meters tall at the withers. They are mostly bred in the south of Hatay and the Marmaran Isles, where grass and hay can be more readily grown, and their meat is described as having a unique, smoky flavor.

	After Osman Electronics moved their main headquarters to Persepolis, concerns of a “brain drain” from northern Bursa has become more prominent as students move to more populated worlds in the Republic for their education. While some of these students return, Bursa’s industrial resource extraction based economy cannot generate enough opportunities for all of its ambitious youth. Continued youth unemployment also encourages recruitment into the Elyran military and migration to other worlds. Despite those pressures Bursa maintains a steadily growing population driven for the most part by growth in the planet’s traditional mining and agriculture. The development of the Marmara Islands has allowed the planet to diversify its agricultural sector to include the cultivation of fruit it would otherwise be too cold to grow and also to attract tourists. Bursa is generally considered to have a healthy economy by the standards of the spur but the highly competitive nature of the planet’s major industries have led to a high level of indebtedness among Bursa’s largest mining and agricultural concerns. A rising problem also takes shape in the quality of fresh water on Bursa which due to the Lii’draic invasion and tendency of mining operations to spoil ground water is often of poor quality. Many settlements must make use of expensive and complex water purification technology and poor water quality is among the most common complaints of its lower class and non-citizen population.

	Most Bursans are typecast as friendly, despite their frosty planet, with strong inclinations towards filial piety. The planet’s citizens also have a common reputation of being incredibly patriotic, to an extent that is parodied or remarked upon by Bursans themselves. Flags of Elyra are ubiquitous in the major cities; an Extranet meme in Elyra is for tourists to create videos counting the flags they see while on vacation to Bursa. While the impression of Bursans is that they are by-and-large conservative, they are an especially secular planet, and practices that would typically be considered haram (such as consuming alcohol or pork) are less stigmatized among Bursans.

	Military bases were quite common on the planet’s surface even prior to the Lii’draic incursion, taking advantage of the planet’s harsh conditions to stage survival exercises and build resistance to extreme conditions. In the aftermath of the incursion, however, a culture of military worship has begun to build significantly on the planet, particularly in the southern parts of the continents and the Marmara Isles. The population of north Büyükada, however, tend to be more dismissive or outright hostile towards military exercises and their personnel, owing to the slow response from the Elyran Armed Forces that led to thousands of deaths, injuries, and black k’ois infections.

	Bursa’s population of non-citizen persons is largely employed in the mines of the Aegean Mountains, phoron refinement facilities on the planet’s surface, and the service industry on the Marmaran Isles. Many of them also work to harvest Kyzaghan and Ashina’s bountiful mineral deposits, using Bursa as their primary residence. Like elsewhere in Elyra, they are underpaid, often exploited for labor by their supervisors, and sent to perform the most dangerous tasks in already dangerous fields. However, owing to the close proximity many Bursans share with their neighbors, NCPs on Bursa are significantly less isolated from the citizen populace than they are on most of the Republic’s planets.

Bursa’s economy was founded on mining and herding of livestock, and to this day the planet is a center for the extraction and refinement of phoron, hydrogen, silver, and gold that occurs in the Alaz-Khan system. While stations exist orbiting Ashina and Kyzaghan, Bursa is always their restocking point. Bursa’s developed orbital infrastructure makes it a desirable port to base mining expeditions to neighboring star systems as well. The flat terrain on Bursa’s continents creates conditions suited for livestock herding where in the summer Bursan cattle is driven north to take advantage of nutrient rich seasonal grasses and give time for their winter pastures nearer to the equator to recover in time to feed the cattle when the seasons change again. On the whole Bursa has an urbanization rate of about sixty five percent with a disproportionate amount of those living outside major urban areas being non-citizen persons.

	Prior to the Lii’draic Incursion, Osman Electronics was headquartered on Bursa before moving to Persepolis. Factories in Tawûsî and Alara built ships, massive automated drills, and hardsuits which were sold across the Republic. Many of Elyra’s electrical engineers who developed the automation used to mine on Bursa or Medina were educated in the Atatürk University of Sciences, and Osman frequently poached from the university to send them across the Republic. Military development and testing for the Elyran Armed Forces has boomed on the planet in recent years, with the testing site codenamed “Anatolian Phoenix" in Hatay being the source of the infamous Elyran plasma rifle.

Cairo III was also the sole habitable planet in the region, though its distance from the system’s star meant it would be cold and harsh, unsuited for human habitation.

It houses the Morningstar spaceport, and is the primary residence of most of the NCP population on Bursa; around 10% of the city’s population is of Dominian descent. Because of this, Tawûsî hosts the annual Morozian Culture Festival (which is something of a misnomer, as the festival includes pan-Imperial culture) in early September, coinciding with the Feast of Joy. Recent crackdowns and attention brought to it by pundits of the Elyran People’s Party have led to the festival taking on more of an underground nature, with individual neighborhoods and community centers coming together to celebrate. Tawûsî is also home to the largest museum on the planet, the Balmumcu Museum of Elyran History.

	'''Imbros:''' Not so much a city as it is an administrative district, Imbros is the largest population center in the Marmara Isles, and home to several seaside resorts and local markets. Warm summers and rainy winters characterize the general climate of the towns, and several resorts in the area have been built in a style similar to the Mediterranean isles on Earth; stucco walls, red-tiled roofs, and arched windows. It is a common vacation destination for Bursans and other Elyrans alike, and is reputed for both its fresh seafood and its prominent artist culture.

	'''Alara''' The center for many logistics operations and spaceports, located several miles down the Sarı River from New İzmir. Unusually for Elyra, one of the ~~Big Five~~ megacorporations has limited influence here; it is home to a small Orion Express spaceport, and Alara and New Suez are usually how Elyrans receive goods from [[Orion Express]] and the wider Spur. Winter sports like skating and hockey are common on Alara due to its place on Lake Böbrek, and Alara hosts the planet’s basketball team, the Bursan Phoenixes.
