   Geratat is the system containing Vulcan Colony.  By Confederacy convention the system is named after the most important settlement, but the Humans settlers renamed the name-source planet "Gerat" to "Vulcan" after the Roman God of the forge.

The Geratat system has eleven known planets:

• Geratat one - a small hot rock similar to Mercury.
• Geratat two - a cooler rock but still pretty hot.
• Geratat three - Gerat or Vulcan - one moon and a small ring system.
  • Gerat one - Caeculus - rocky moon with a small ring system shared with Vulcan.
• Geratat four - small gas giant (like Uranus) three moons.
• Geratat five - Big jovian gas giant with 80/20 H/He atmosphere - dozens of moons - 130,000 km.
• Geratat six - gas giant 95% H - with thirteen moons and lots of moonlets - 100,000 km diameter.
• Geratat seven - big rock, fractured and breaking up. 15k km in diameter. CO2 atmo.
• Geratat eight - medium sized hydrogen gas giant with eight moons.
• Geratat nine - Big gas giant with 90% H/5% He atmosphere - dozens of moons.
• Geratat ten - volcanic rock. SO2 atmosphere.
• Geratat eleven - small iceball. Nitrogen ice with a nitrogen atmosphere, much like Triton's.
