Apollo has four planets, Mercury has been turned into a moon of VenusOut old Sun hosts the planet Jupiter and its retinue of satellites plus Neptune, which orbits Jupiter, where the rings connect indicates the true distance of each sub system from the Apollo central system. It is a complicated system, but for game simplicity, we assume that all travel around the central star of Apollo, even though that isn't really the case. Shadowrun maybe a little like that, though a little less cyberpunky, it is more like a futuristic version of today's world with fantasy elements added, a futuristic shadowchassers, but with the shadow creatures out in the open. The technology is equivalent to the year 2038 AD, there is limited AIs and robots, androids, and monsters. Each major planet has its namesake patron diety, the one for Earth is Gaia, and she tends to produce beasts and monsters, mostly of the non-two legged variety, for instance dragons not orcs. Orcs come from off world, they are "children" of Ares, very warlike and Ares is proud of his creations, therefore Orc come from Mars. Elves inhabit the Moon, which has an atmosphere, forests and small seas of course, mostly on the near side, most of the land is on the far side. Venus' primary inhabitants are humans, but primitive, ranging from stone age to medeaval, the Earth nations have planted some colonies on Venus, the elves have limited human colonization on the Moon, the Orcs have given humans some trouble on Mars. Mercury is home to halflings, gnomes, and dwarves. Besides the primary inhabitants of each planet their are also secondary races, not as numerous as the primary ones. The Earth has mostly humans, beasts cooked up by Gaia, and races from off-world. Venus has humans, lizard folk, lots of merfolk in its shallow oceans, and of course dinosaurs, some elves as well, particularly the aquatic variety.Jupiter has been turned inside out and expanded, the upper layers of its atmosphere is breathable, the other gases including hydrogen and helium are kept separate at greater depths by a planet wide wall of force. Saturn is much the same. Neptune is an ocean world with floating islands, Uranus is too, but with an almost 90 degree axial tilt as it orbits Saturn.The red dwarf host the planet Proxima b, a world slightly bigger than Earth, tidally locked with its red dwarf star and managed by Athena, the planet is called Minerva to avoid confusion with its host deity. The 14 gods pretty much mind their own celestial affairs, and don't interfere in human affairs too much.
