Coriolisk

Coriolisk is a fictional planetary setting used in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games. It appears as the central world in the Coriolisk Cycle, a cross-media franchise spanning novels and adventure supplements. The planet orbits a yellow-orange K-type star in the fictional Coriolisk System. Its geography is diverse, with three major landmasses, extensive archipelagos, and polar regions. Climate belts are shaped by its tilt and ocean currents, producing temperate coasts and rugged interiors.

The dominant inhabitants are the Corioliskans, humanoid beings adapted to multiple environments. They organize into autonomous city-states that form the Coriolisk Compact, a federation handling defense, trade, and infrastructure. The economy mixes renewable energy, mineral extraction, and biotechnology, with emphasis on orbital and maritime logistics.

History and politics: exploration began in the early era of spacefaring expansion, followed by periods of reform and conflict. A key milestone, the Unity Accords, unified rival factions under a central council. To support growth, the planet developed an Orbital Ring that enables rapid transit and communication.

Culture and science: learning and exploration are valued, with traditions in astronomy, shipbuilding, and bioluminescent art. Technology centers on gravity manipulation, fusion power, and modular terraforming for environmental engineering.

Notable features include the Sapphire Sea, Glimmering Wastes, and the Lumen Crescent, a ring of satellites used for energy collection and signaling. Coriolisk continues to expand through new media collaborations among writers, game designers, and artists.
