One of the smaller planets in Seleota, Cursa, is a rugged and storm-stricken place, often shrouded by thunderstorms, wind, and rain. With the sky near-constantly covered in a thick layer of storm clouds the planet seems to be always stuck in the night, no matter the time of day.

The bitter climate combined with its position in the System often saw Cursa overlooked by the Peg'asi monarchy and the Crown Council, but it also made it a prime target for illegal activities – a place where morals are tested constantly in a zone as gray as its sky.

The ground terrain is primarily rocky, comprised of jagged rock formations, narrow spires, ridges, canyons ,and the occasional snow-capped mountain, with wide areas of wastelands inhabitable due to severe thunderstorms. Ocean waters are dangerous, and difficult to navigate

The Council responsible for this planet is the Council of Iron, but those responsible for it are eager to turn a blind eye to the reality of Cursa for the right price, which they have been doing for a long, long time.

The residential zone on Cursa is divided by Districts, 8 of them in total. Quality of life between Districts can vary somewhat, but all of them are difficult places to live. Since the K'Merii have assimilated many of the clans responsible for keeping the peace, poverty and crime are at an all-time high, and leaving the planet has become increasingly difficult for residents who have little to nothing to live on.

Some of the Districts are known for certain things like District 2, which is more of an entertainment sector, and District 7 is very political/business-oriented and houses the Crown Council, and both Districts 3 and 8 are generally considered the worst for living conditions.

Some of the most notable organisations on Cursa are:

K'Merii: The largest clan on the planet, the K'Merii was originally established to oversee the smaller clans of the Districts and keep peace between them, but has now evolved into something much more sinister.

For a long time, the K’Merii co-existed with the lesser District clans of Cursa, becoming more troublesome as they gained numbers and power and became corrupted from within. Everything changed quickly once Jes Zovack became leader. Jes, who aimed for greater things, accelerated the K'Merii's plans for power, and their gaze shifted from Cursa, to the entirety of Seleota.

Azure Dawn: A smaller clan originally responsible for District 4. The current leader of Azure Dawn is Zane Rodriguez.

Crimson Dusk: A smaller clan originally responsible for District 3. The current leader of Crimson Dusk is Alisa Armbrust.
