Svaria is an ice planet that primarily serves as a major trade anchor between the Nexus and the Greater Puapua Arm, one of the arms of the Siikatal spiral galaxy. It was the location of The Complex, and respectively, the setting for the short story Fragile Petals. A thousand years after the fall of The Complex, a young Thalassia Star crash-lands on the planet through a Star Terminal in Svaria's capital city, Meltwater.
