Circe

Circe is a heavily populated core world in the Gaian Empire. Located close to the Gaian homeworld Earth, Circe was one of the first Gaian colonies and was one of the main targets for humanity's first great exodus into the stars. While Earth and the Sol system is the political center of the Empire, Circe is its cultural heart. Here, great artists and musicians from all over Gaian space meet and mingle with the elite of the Imperial military officers. Circe is a thriving commercial port, and is home to several imperial science and educational institutions, such as the GIU and the INEA.
