Throughout the Armada Wars story characters sometimes refer to planets which are relevant at the time, but not explored any further in the text. Some of these are Imperial Combine worlds, some are occupied by alien races, and others are barren.
Those planets and their known details are listed here. On occasion, as new volumes are released, planets from this list may be promoted.

Human-Populated Planets |
Bennethium
A class one Imperial Combine planet on the Orion arm of the galaxy. This world is unusual in that both the planet and its star have the same name. The planet was named prior to colonisation by the Colonisation Candidacy Board, presumably just before lunch began.
The planet was physically colonised by a trio of vessels which were constructed by the City of Japan, and most of their crew and passengers were sourced locally. The high families of Bennethium have historically been very keen to preserve the cultural heritage they left behind, and this is reflected in their names.
The invigilator responsible for Bennethium attended the Eyes and Ears meeting that was so instrumental in reigniting Viskr-Human hostilities in 3745 ELC (→SFTD).
Mister Hakuri, once the Flight Operations Assistant on the MICS Maidesvale, was from Bennethium (→TRD).

Chaurn
An Imperial Combine colony world on the Orion arm of the galaxy.
In 3736 ELC, while on Uccomir, The Burning Flash of Envy's Escape tried to claim that he had received his Accepted name in a rite which took place on Chaurn in 3727. Quite rightly Bruiser did not believe him, since the planet had been evacuated in 3720 and remained completely vacant right through to the time of that very conversation (→FSS).

Darahain
An Imperial Combine colony world on the Perseus arm of the galaxy.
When Elm Caden pressed Doctor Danil Bel-Ures for any example of a naturally telepathic species, she cited a primate species native to Darahain. The ape-like creatures are able to give each other directional impressions without obvious signs of communication, by manipulating a short-range field effect, and this advantage has led to them becoming the dominant species in their niche (→FSS).

Duraang
A class two Imperial Combine colony world in the Meccrace planetary system, on the Orion arm of the galaxy.
Duraang is one of two minor populated worlds in the Meccrace system, both of which are overshadowed by Meccrace Prime economically and in terms of population. Duraang is the home of Danil Bel-Ures, and she was transported from there to Meccrace Prime by Eyes and Ears field agents when they learned of a possible threat against her (→LOTD).

Ind
An inhabited Imperial Combine world in the Shuul-Ind star system. Little is recorded at this time, but since the invigilator for the system resides on Shuul it can be inferred that Ind is the minor of the two planets.
Kemrik
An Imperial Combine colony world of unspecified size, on the Perseus arm of the galaxy.
Kemrik was the site of a battle which young Rendir Throam and his friends re-enacted in 3720 ELC as part of their games. It was one of the first overt strikes of the Perseus conflict (→LOTD).
The colony itself had been disputed and fought over more than a Solar year before that game took place, and at the time gun camera footage from an Imperial fighter was leaked briefly to the public network before being censored (→FSS).

Raschathil
An Imperial Combine colony world on the Sagittarius arm of the galaxy.
While visiting the City of Peru, Elm Caden overheard a resident called Arisia arguing with her husband. She wanted to take their baby Matías to her mother's home on Raschathil — in anticipation of Earth being invaded — and was impatient with his lack of enthusiasm for that plan. Her husband argued that Raschathil did not even have its own defence fleet, which suggests it was a trivial world indeed (→TRD).
Whether Arisia and her family made it to Raschathil (or indeed left Earth in the first place) is not recorded.

Ressingale
An Imperial Combine colony world on the Perseus arm of the galaxy.
Ressingale was the location of a bloody campaign during the Perseus conflict, in which CAGA, Tankers, and Shards were thrown fatefully against a massive Viskr occupation force. Kulik Molcomb and Jaias Midraide are known to have fought in that engagement, with Midraide being killed in action on the battlefield. Maber Castigon recalled Molcomb's drunken tales about this massacre while hunting him down on Fengrir (→SFTD).

Shuul
A class one Imperial Combine colony world on the Orion arm of the galaxy. It is one of the largest exporters of xtryllium in the Imperial Combine.
The invigilator responsible for the Shuul-Ind star system is based on Shuul, and attended the Eyes and Ears meeting that was so instrumental in reigniting Viskr-Human hostilities in 3745 ELC (→SFTD).
Shuul was the homeworld of Peshal Throam, prior to her relocating to live with Lamis on Earth. Her grandparents settled there before she was even born, and like most residents her parents had no desire to leave Shuul behind. Long after leaving Peshal reminisced about the planet, which even included the unpalatable and visually repellant marine life (→LOTD).
Shuul is one of the many destinations served by Westry Eilentes' shipping company (→TRD).
On the MICS Maidesvale, Mister Hakuri told Euryce Eilentes that he had been destined to marry the first daughter of the family which adopted him. She had instead opted to run off to Shuul with her lover (→TRD).

Alien and Unpopulated Planets |
Callastis
A Gomlic colony world on the Sagittarius arm of the galaxy.
While discussing Rasas with Doctor Rohana, Elm Caden asked if she was aware of any real organisms which could exchange information within a shared experience. She could not, but did describe a spore-forming bacterium which infects a particular species of herd animal on Callastis (→FSS).

Gousk
A planet on the Perseus arm of the galaxy which hosts Viskr military bases and munitions depots.
The star system containing this planet is known simply as the Gousk system to the Imperial Combine. It is the location of the Viskr battle station attacked by Admiral Betombe's task force during Operation Seawall (→SFTD).

Kibria
A planet on the Carina arm of the galaxy, homeworld of the sentient species humans call Kibriani (→FSS).
Najila
A Viskr-controlled colony planet on the Perseus arm of the galaxy. During the Perseus conflict this was the location of key shipyards, weapons factories, and star-drive fabrication facilities for the Viskr Junta. Although the Viskr carried out manufacturing there, it was a class five planet and not habitable under normal circumstances. There was (and still is) no native life.
Najila fell to an all-out assault by the Imperial Navy in the second week of September, 3720 ELC. That assault was later re-enacted by the young Rendir Throam and his friends in the City of Peru on Earth (→LOTD).
