Home Sector
The first cluster of worlds that was reached by the original treeship, Joshua, came to be known as the Home Sector.
The Home Sector consists of seven planets in five systems:
- Joshua (named after the ship)
- Lincoln
- Lullaby and Tree
- New Washington
- Redwood and Sequoia
Resplendant Middle Empire
Kingdom of heaven
AMETHYST Worlds
Haneulssi (Skyseed) was the fourth generational ship to launch. Korea, always used to limited resources, nonetheless felt the ever-tightening of resources around the world very much. They were pioneers in the areas of gene-mods for food and people, to be able to support more population on less resources. The arcologies of Busan and Old Seoul were the envy of the rest of the world, and these allowed Korea to take it's time in selecting a path for it's ship. It's scientists scoured the skies until they found what they considered the perfect path, and it paid off.
The Amethyst Worlds hold nine systems: Baekje, Silla, Goryeo, Hwarang, Taejo, Lotus, Daeboreum, Gayageum, and Baekdu

Interstellar Commonwealth
Tri-Star Group
Resplendant Middle EmpireThese planets were settled by the second treeship, Jian, which carried settlers, not all of whom volunteered, from the Chinese Hegemony. Shortly after launch, The Chinese Hegemony was destroyed in what has come to be known as the Uplifting.
An artificial intelligence that the Hegemony had created without safeguards, became super-sentient, determined that since humans were responsible for the state of the planet, they must be destroyed, and managed to compromise systems in nearly every major infrastructure it could find. As a result, billions perished in two days of rolling catastrophes. The planets of the RME are named in commemoration of those lost. The Resplendant Middle Empire holds ten planets, in six systems:
New Islamic Protectorate
The third treeship, the Bahamut, was sent in an unfortunate direction, with the result that most of the planets only marginally support life. However, with the discovery of teleportation, the situation on the worlds has improved considerably.
The New Islamic Protectorate consists of 13 planets in 12 systems:

Chrysanthemum WorldsInterstellar CommonwealthThe fifth treeship to launch did so half empty, due to political wrangling. It was the last of the treeships to be launched by a major government, and the first to be launched after the downward spiral of the environment was in full swing. This resulted in a rushed launch, and the sparse systems it encountered were very widespread.
The Interstellar Commonwealth holds 8 planets in 7 systems:
Tri-star GroupThe next treeship to leave was a corporate venture, the Eden. Samsung-Apple custom-built a treeship, and loaded it with what it considered the best probabilities for a successful set of colonies from around the world, regardless of any other considerations.
The Tri-Star Group consists of 3 planets, in 3 systems:
Hitachi-IBMHitachi-IBM followed suit quickly, with a launch that came as a surprise to everyone, most of their employees included. Once the treeship was done, in a lightning swift series of manoeuvres, they loaded their entire corporation onto the Foresight, infrastructure and all, which showed publicly the stance most corporations were going to take. The public blamed big business for the state of the world, and the fact that they were now attempting to leave it in that state to start over elsewhere caused worldwide uproar. Civil war was everywhere within weeks.
Hitachi-IBM holds one world, in one system:

Paradise
The only treeship to survive the chaos of the Uprising, as the global civil war came to be called, was Brazil's half-finished Amazonia. Several groups of rebels from different factions around the world obtained orbital craft, and started loading their own people onto the Amazonia. There was fighting between the groups, but once they realised they were all rebel groups, most of the fighting abated. The treeship was swiftly rechristened as the Unity, and it was launched along it's pre-programmed path. The Unity later reported that there were nuclear flashes below them as they left orbit. The last transmission from the Unity reported that they had found "a nearly perfect world", which they intended to name Paradise, but the transmission suddenly cut off in a burst of static. Whether the signal was cut to preserve the secret of it's location, the fighting had resumed, or the Unity suffered some accident, is one of the greatest mysteries of our age.
