Vaalon Solar-system

System Specs:

  • Stellar Mass:  _ Sol-masses
  • Stellar Class:  _
  • Luminosity:  _ Sol
  • Planets:  5
  • Moons:  0
  • Asteroid Belts:  0
  • Asteroids:  0
  • Objects:  1

The blue super-giant Vaalon is seen from Aya as the first star to rise.

Scourge Formation 

Note: This anomaly is part of Meridian: The Way Home.
DATA:

  • Spatial anomaly related to the Scourge
  • Dark energy discernible from gravitational and radiation effects
  • Composition: Ice, mineral debris, element zero, unknown materials

ANALYSIS:
The Scourge energy in this area appears to have formed some kind of vortex or funnel. A probe deposited within the center of the formation may be used to collect data.

Ejoda:

  • Orbital Distance:  11.5 AU
  • Orbital Period:  9.2 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  17.969
  • Radius:  5,635 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  109.03 atm
  • Surface Temp:  474 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Ejoda is a world of rock and metal surrounded by a crushing atmosphere. By all logic, it should be molten, but the Scourge has somehow kept it cool despite its proximity to Vaalon‘s blue giant sun.

Pas-70:

  • Orbital Distance:  55.3 AU
  • Orbital Period:  97.2 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  17.9
  • Radius:  5,937 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.00 atm
  • Surface Temp:  731 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Pas-70 appears to be a “cthonian planet”; a former gas giant stripped of its atmosphere down to its metallic core. It’s extremely likely this process was accelerated by the Scourge.

Pas-78:

  • Orbital Distance:  89.9 AU
  • Orbital Period:  201.7 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  17.859
  • Radius:  57,050 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.59 atm
  • Surface Temp:  _ °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Pas-78 is a large gas giant ideal for helium-3 mining; only the dense Scourge activity in the system makes it a less than perfect refueling point.

Ra Madesya:

  • Orbital Distance:  69.8 AU
  • Orbital Period:  138.0 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  17.857
  • Radius:  5,091 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.00 atm
  • Surface Temp:  1,655 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Ra Madesya and its neighbor, Ra Moorondi, were both thrown out of their orbits by the Scourge. Even before this, however, Ra Madesya was likely a molten sphere of iron and copper.

Ra Moorondi:

  • Orbital Distance:  75.2 AU
  • Orbital Period:  154.3 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  17.862
  • Radius:  11,212 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.65 atm
  • Surface Temp:  1,892 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Ra Moorondi, like Ra Madesya, was thrown out of orbit by the Scourge. Its enormous mass may have pulled in dust and debris to form rings only recently.

Anomaly 

Asteroid 

DATA:

  • Q-type asteroid
  • Diameter: 559 km
  • Surface gravity: 0.03 G

ANALYSIS:
This large asteroid may have been a fragment of a moon that once orbited Ra Moorondi somehow broken apart by the Scourge.
