2181 Despoina:

  • Orbital Distance:  1.3 AU
  • Orbital Period:  1.5 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.976
  • Radius:  6,908 km
  • Day Length:  22.7 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.3 atm
  • Surface Temp:  29 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  0.92 g
  • Mass:  1.071 Earth-masses
  • Colony:  (species) Leviathan

This planet was only spotted recently by human space probes, and no records indicate it has been explored since. Scans indicate it is covered in an ocean of liquid water and has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. It is highly likely to have at least some photosynthetic life.

2181 Arion:

  • Orbital Distance:  2.45 AU
  • Orbital Period:  3.84 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.997
  • Radius:  4,404 km
  • Day Length:  59.6 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.31 atm
  • Surface Temp:  −13 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  0.57 g
  • Mass:  0.27 Earth-masses

This rock planet is only known from space probes, and there are no records of its exploration. It appears to have a moderate atmosphere of hydrogen and helium over an icy surface.

Trivia
Arion may refer to two figures in Greek legend: a poet known for his rescue from pirates by dolphins, or the twin brother of Despoina and son of Poseidon and Demeter.

2181 Eubolos:

  • Orbital Distance:  5.2 AU
  • Orbital Period:  11.9 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.993
  • Radius:  66,580 km
  • Day Length:  15.3 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  N/A atm
  • Surface Temp:  N/A °C
  • Surface Gravity:  N/A g
  • Mass:  N/A Earth-masses
  • Satellites:  >1

Like the other planets in this system, 2181 Eubolos is an unknown quantity. It appears to be a hydrogen-helium gas giant surrounded by the usual complement of moons and rings. Scans reveal no detectable artificial satellites.

Trivia
In Greek mythology, Eubolos is a god of the Eleusinian mysteries, initiation rites held under the cult of Demeter.
