Undamaged and untouched by the war we are currently fighting, Andromeda seems to be quite nice with many friendly alien races and habitable planets. I suggest making a safehold to transport endangered civilians from other fronts. It has never been touched by Zor's seedings and thus is not too from Tirol and the main Expeditionnary force. However, locals warn that the sector sees infrequent Zentraedi activity Invid are unheard of and are considered space men's tales and legends.

Englia
Englia Englia is an oceanic world that was long ago conquered by the Robotech Masters. Englia is a large sweet water oceanic world. There are only 5 large land masses and a scattering of island around them. The average level of technology is about 18th or 19th-century earth with a few remnants of Robotechnology.
Englia is a strategic world located in the middle of the Andromeda sector within short distance from all the other systems. Englia's major resource is the large deposit of vibronium used in the production of the CADS-1 and meshing of the CVR-3 body armor.
The inhabitants of Englia have since mixed with the Tirolians clones. The inhabitants are now have a mix of humanoids with ram features. They are short and stocky.
Note Englia was an attempt by me to re-use in Robotech the content of Mutants in Avalon from the TMNT range. I loved the story and campaign in that book, but was never able to use it in a full campaign.

Enigma
Enigma Earth-type planet that has only taiga forest for native landscape. The Sentinels are changing this to make it a Clones' world. Most people who went to Enigma thought it was "eery" due to the clones and their exact same look. However racial mingling (with micronized humans, Zentraedi and other races) will change this in a few generations.

Jupiter II Named after the fifth planet of our solar system. The second planet of the Jupiter system is ravaged by grave and near-constant storms. It has a desertic landscape. There is only a small REF mining colony manned almost exclusively by full-sized Zentraedi.

Manco
Manco This lush jungle planet has a REF training facility for newly reformed Zentraedi and Sentinels allies. The air on Manco is breathable but a high oxygen content gives humans light-headedness.
The natives of Manco are short intelligent plants (though they are not considered extremely intelligent by the other races (average IQ 6).
The base is built on an abandoned factory build by the Robotech Masters during the apogee of the Empire. Thus the base has bioroid and old-style Zentraedi mecha construction capabilities. The REF quickly changed the factory to build cyclones, alpha-fighters and new-style Zentraedi pods.

Kelter
The Invid Flower of Life does not grow at all anywhere in the Kelter system due to some radiation emanating from the sun.
However invasion by the Robotech Masters long ago thought the Kelterians about them, the Zentraedi and the Invid. Zentraedi is now the official language. However due to constant rebellion and guerilla, the Masters quickly abandoned the system for more useful systems.
Kelter Kelter is the system's third planet and has a vast ocean that is sparsely covered with small jungle islands of which Kelteria is the largest, measuring a meager 25miles across. Kelteria is home to the Kelterians. However, Kelter is ruled from Trefolia. Still a small contingent of REF troops have been deployed to Kelter.
The Kelterians have light to dark brown complexions and have an elongated forehead that give them a conehead appearance. Kelter possesses most of the non-military factories in the system and has extensive carbon-based fuel reserves under its oceans. Kelterians can not be part of the system's defense forces so many of them have joined the Sentinels.

Trefolia Trefolia is the icy seventh planet of the system. Trefolia is home to the system's government and military installations. The local government is a democratic dictatorship. Only Trefolians can vote or join the army. Kelterians are an important part of the system's society and well treated by the Trefolians.
Trefolians has the same appearance as the Kelterians except the Trefolians have a pure white complexion.
Trefolia the strongest army and navy in the quadrant and it is all based on non-protoculture.
