The Shadows Cycle

Nefarius - The galaxy of the humans, and the center of the Galactic Army and Fleet.  It houses around 60 planets, all of which are inhabited by humans.  Only a few planets are mentioned in 'Narlan Wars', such as Konak, Dheri, Hrode, Julipatn, and Maje, but Book 2 travels to a lot more, as many things happen on them.

Konak - The book opens with a space battle above Konak, and in Chapter 3, the Galactic Army goes there to prepare for war and gather reinforcements.  Once again, there is a good majority of events on Konak in what I have written of Book 2 so far, both bad things and good things.

Crontias - The Narlan Wars are fought in Crontias.  With an asteroid shell around it, the outer limits also house the Grekil, a dragon-like species that becomes allies with the Galactic Army.  The three planets on which the wars are fought are Zifors, Cridion, and Xaix.  A fairly large galaxy, it is wider than Nefarius, but smaller than Galto, which is described in the Prologue and also later in the book.

Zifors - The first planet on which the Narlan Wars are fought.  It is gray and desolate, with mountains, plains, and even vast underground caverns.  All of these features are used as battleground.  The largest battle in the book is fought on Zifors, and it only takes place in 11 chapters!  I had fun experimenting with Zifors, and have created others using variations.

Cridion - The second planet on which the wars are fought.  Kara does not travel here until late in the book, but Commander Heffer and Captain Beckley do.  This is a planet with forests and oceans, grassy fields and mountains.  The Galactic Army uses it to their advantage and the turnout is in their favor.

Xaix - The final planet on which the Wars are fought.  Pronounced 'ZAY-cks', it is a barren planet with a blood-red surface.  It is the second-closest planet to the sun, so it is relatively hot.  The battle that takes place here may be shorter than the others, but it is intense.  I wanted to see how I could end it, so I tried for the BANG; in fact, there are more than two BANGs.

Galto - The galaxy of the Vril, the most evil species that ever existed.  It was their mission to destroy all life in the universe, but after a revolt led by the humans and Narlan thousands of years ago, they were overthrown by hundreds of species and driven to extinction.  Their galaxy is mentioned twice in the book:  Once in the beginning, and once in the end.
