	The following are ], ], ], ], and ] from the '']'' series.

	{{spoiler}}

	===Abraxas===
	Abraxas is a planetary member of the ] that was once the home of Federation ] ]. It is also where the events of '']'' take place, 100 years prior to '']''. Abraxas is later renamed "]".

	===Ariadne===
	'''Ariadne''' was a sprawling planet with a population of around 500 million humans and home to a ] research facility, as well as one of the ]. Immediately before the start of ''Xenosaga'', ] was ordered, by ] Commander ], to infiltrate Ariadne and take a part in the Zohar Link Experiment. Little is known about the Zohar Link Experiment; however, it resulted in the disappearance of Ariadne, and its eventual transformation into the ]. The ] was dispatched to retrieve the Zohar Emulator from the Ariadne region, but the Cathedral Ship dispatched ] to claim it for the planet-turned-Gnosis.

	===Atalya===
	'''Atalya''' is a planetary member of the Galaxy Federation. It was a planet near the Ariadne system and the site of the Woglinde disaster. Atalya is also a heavily frequented hub to the planet of ].

	===Carioca===
	'''Carioca''' is a planetary member of the Galaxy Federation and is a haven for many businesses and university research facillities due to its national-level support programs. Vector's First and Third R&D Divisions each had several facilities on the planet. The KOS-MOS R&D Project under Chief Kevin Winnicot was sationed here. It was also the site of the ill-fated U-TIC assault on the KOS-MOS development lab, which resulted on the KOS-MOS Archetype's "malfunction" and Winnicot's supposed death.

	===Fifth Jerusalem===
	'''Fifth Jerusalem''' is the current capital planet of the Galaxy Federation, and seat of the central legislative judicial, and administrative agencies. The headquarters of the ] is also located here. As the name suggests, it is the fifth capital of the Galaxy Federation after Lost Jerusalem. Fifth Jerusalem also encompasses a large administrative space-station in orbit tethered to the planet by a large-scall ]. The station serves as a ] and as an administration center.

	While briefly glimpsed in ''Episodes I'' & ''II'', Fifth Jeruselam is the stage for a good portion of the story at the start of ''Episode III''. ] is invited to Fifth Jerusalem by newly-promoted ] Project Chief Engineer ] to witness KOS-MOS appear in a combat demonstration against the Federation's new secret weapon, Ω Res Novae.

	===Gedalya===
	'''Gedalya''' is a planetary member of the Galaxy Federation that dispatched a fleet of ships to ] in order to surround and contain the ] after U-TIC Organization forces enacted an elaborate ploy which involved falsely implicating the Foundation in the destruction of the Federation cruiser Woglinde in order to retrieve the ] prototype ]. The fleet deployment came even before the doctored video of the ] sinking the Woglinde was shown to the Executive Committee. As ] speculates, there were probably U-TIC officers within both the fleet, the government and the S.O.C.E. who jumped the gun a little bit in order to surround the Kukai Foundation before it arrived at Second Militia and MOMO eluded their grasp on the planet's surface. The incident has led to heightened tensions between Gedalya and Second Miltia. They consider each other enemy states now, despite them both being members of the Federation.

	In ''Episode III'', the strange landmass "Rennes-le-Chatâeu" (and later Abel's Ark) appears in close proximity to Gedalyan space. A large portion of the game takes place very close to Gedalya, however the planet itself is not visited at any point.

	===Keltia===
	'''Keltia''' is a popular planetary member of the Galaxy Federation and the site of the Seraphim Sisters' latest concert. ] was hoping to travel to Keltia to see the Sisters perform live, but his debt prevented him from going.

	===Michtam===
	'''Michtam''' is a planetary member of the Galaxy Federation previously known as ]. Michtam is the setting of the ''Xenosaga: Pied Piper'' side-story, which stars Federation ] Jan Sauer (Ziggy). During the game the planet is officially renamed Michtam. In ''Episode I'' ] mentions to Ziggy just before he leaves to rescue MOMO from the U-TIC Organization that the S.O.C.E. was performing an experiment between Second Miltia and Michtam that was "vital to the future of the human race," and tied to the Zohar Project.

	In ''Episode III'', the planet is revealed to have been obliterated by the Gnosis over 15 years beforehand and that Kevin Winnicot was a survivor from Michtam. It is also the birthplace of Ormus and first planet settled by the people of the Immigrant Fleet after they left Lost Jerusalem. It is where "God's relics" were kept, primarily the Zarathustra device. Michtam also serves as the location for the last quarter of the game where the stories most of the series' cast (over 15 different characters) are resolved.

	Michtam is an allusion to Miktam04β, a planet mentioned in the '']'' ] encyclopedia. In that continuum, Miktam04β is said to have been destroyed by Deus when it absorbed too much energy from the Zohar, and the Eldridge was sent to rescue surivivors. This event was pivotal in setting the events of the next 10,000 years into motion.

	===Lost Jerusalem (Earth)===
	'''Lost Jerusalem''' was the name given to Earth in ] 0016. After the ] left Lost Jerusalem, the planet suddenly vanished. Since the disappearance of Lost Jerusalem, the Galaxy Federation has moved its capital four times. The ] cult considers Lost Jerusalem to be a holy place, due to its history with the Zohar. There have been dozens of attempts to discover the ancient human capital. In the ] superfacility, there is a holographic starmap; ] comments on a large "uncharted" hole where Lost Jerusalem was supposedly located.

	A trailer for ''Episode III'' shows Shion finding herself on a portion of Lost Jerusalem's land in a ruined temple area.

	===Miltia===
	:''See Old Miltia.''

	===Old Miltia===
	'''Old Miltia''' is the original Miltia that was lost in the Abyss in the ]. Old Miltia holds the Original Zohar and ]. The ] gate for Old Miltia is sealed in the ] until the ], which was entrusted to the 100 Series Observational Realian MOMO, is used by ]. After the link between ] and the Zohar is destroyed, the ] awakens and destroys Old Miltia from the inside out. Next, the Ω System is completely destroyed with the annihilation of Proto Ω, which leaves the Original Zohar as the only remaining piece of Old Miltia. That, in turn, is sucked up by Abel's Ark.

	Miltia was one of the autonomous worlds occupied by the people of the Immigrant Fleet. This was also the homeworld of the Uzuki family before the Miltian Conflict forced them to relocate to ].

	=== Pleroma ===
	'''Pleroma''' is a base of the U-TIC Organization, located on a series of ]s. In ''Episode I'', Margulis uses Pleroma as a prison for the 100 Series Observational Realian, MOMO. An Ormus cathedral is located in the center the asteroid, which is briefly shown in the game. Pleroma is rendered obsolete when Ziggurat 8 manages to infiltrate it and escape with MOMO. With the secrecy of the base compromised by the Galaxy Federation, it is abandoned in ''Episode II'' and destroyed by ] and ]. Pleroma is also mentioned by Sellers as having been the name of the original immigration ship from Earth. In Gnostic lore, Pleroma refers to a 'divine light' that exists above the physical realm.

	===Second Miltia===
	'''Second Miltia''' is the replacement world for Old Miltia. It was terraformed immediately following the Miltian Conflict as a planet for the survivors of Miltia. Second Miltia has its own government that is separate from that of the Galaxy Federation. The U.M.N. Headquarters, Vector's Second R&D Division, and many spaceports dot the skyline of the planet's capital. Shion Uzuki and Jin Uzuki were relocated to the planet after Old Miltia was thrown into the Abyss; Jin still lives there.

	===Senir===
	'''Senir''' is a planetary member of the Galaxy Federation and the world that Commander Cherenkov was desperate to get to after the Woglinde incident. There is a U-TIC Organization facility on this planet.

	===The Star Cluster===
	A term that is often used by several main characters throughout the series, referring to the region of space in which the game is set.

	===Vartas===
	'''Vartas''' is the star system where the Yuriev Institute is situated, as well as the home of the Federation's ], which is secretly controlled by ] himself. It is also where ] hails from. Ruryk represents this system in the Galaxy Federation Government in ''Xenosaga I&II'' for the ].

	===Zavarov===
	Planet '''Zavarov''' is planet located near Old Miltia and is one of the core worlds belonging to the Salvator Faction. It is also the world on which the Yuriev Institute, seen heavily in ''Episode II'', is located. Dr. Juli Mizrahi and her daughter Sakura lived on Zavarov after her separation from Joachim. Sakura was being kept at the Yuriev Institute for treatment of a brain defect.

	===Zoar===
	'''Zoar''' is the autonomous planet where the ] began, which ultimately led to the Miltian Conflict. Not much is known, except that it was one of the worlds occupied by the people of the Immigrant Fleet.
