The planet Arxian Major is the largest temperate planet of the Arxian system and twin planet of Arxian Minor with which it also shares the moon Sintral. It was discovered, along with the rest of the system, in 302 during the First Expansion Era. From 702 and on to 3948 the planet was part of the Grand Tarii of Selab until the system was colonised and came under the governance of the Tarii House Tylger.
Since being colonised, the planet has been developed with various minor industry but rather massive commercial activity. The planet is famous throughout the Hapes Cluster for being the home of Pentix Mountain Dragons and having been the favourite vacation spot of Princess Da'tanah during the Hapan civil war. The planet is governed by the Dukatii House Zah'naria and Tarii House Tylger.

Profile
Governance
The planet is governed from the Draconian Administrative Centre in the Zahar province by House Zah'naria, a Dukatii noble house which previously also governed Belgor. The planet falls under the jurisdiction of House Tylger which overall governs the entire Arxian system.
The planet also falls under the jurisdiction of the Archon of the Rim Worlds region, but is not considered to be a world of major importance in the region today.
Commerce & Industry
Prior to the Phoenix Age, the planet was much like Arxian Minor, devoted to agricultural activity. After the mass immigration of noble families from other parts of the Rifle Worlds and Rim Worlds regions after the end of the Hapan civil war, many of the planet's smaller cities were expanded in to sprawling metropolises. The wealth of the nobility made the economy of Arxian Major boom and major commercial districts were established to house businesses owned by the new inhabitants.
Terrain & Provinces
The planet is of average size, with a beautiful and diverse terrain. The surface of Arxian Major is divided in to three continents. The western one is called ‘Zarifa Kantor’, governed by Duchii House Nartiin, while the eastern one is called ‘Sintra Lentor’, governed by Duchii House Llira. The southern continent connects the two with mountains, forests and grassland is called ‘Qal Ciator’ and is governed by Turilii House Zarr.
In between them is the ocean called ‘Natrizax’ which is known for its tranquility. The water comes from ‘Lake Ci’hani’ in the north which was formed by water from melting glaciers.
Flora & Fauna
One of House Raqill's new efforts to improve the Arxian system was the planting of Tzimernut and Tik tree clusters on Arxian Major which evolved in to massive forests over the centuries. This has since the colonisation of the planet in 3948 been a major source of export income due to the demand for quality wood across the Hapes Cluster.
The planet is famous for being home to the Pentix Mountain Dragons which have also spread to both Sintral and Arxian Minor. They keep to the mountainous regions and are rarely seen elsewhere. The animals inspired the design of both the Quasar Battle Cruisers and Nova Battle Cruisers and many high ranking members of the Draconian Union had tamed dragons as their pet. The animals were also inspiration for the crests of many noble houses, including House Ci'hani, House Tylger and House Shaa. The Battle Dragon ship design was named after Princess Da'tanah's pet dragon which fought against the Phoenix Movement's troops during the sixth battle of Lorell.
Satellites
Arxian Major's satellite is Sintral which also orbits Arxian Minor. The lakes on the surface of the temperate moon reflect light on to the surface of the planet during the night and also causes frequent eclipses.
