Faross Solar-system

System Specs:

  • Stellar Mass:  _ Sol-masses
  • Stellar Class:  _
  • Luminosity:  _ Sol
  • Planets:  4
  • Moons:  0
  • Asteroid Belts:  1
  • Asteroids:  1
  • Objects:  0

Faross is located in a region of the Heleus Cluster that is lighted differently from the rest of it. Dr. Suvi Anwar theorizes that maybe the Scourge is absorbing certain wavelengths.

Asteroid

DATA:

  • A-type asteroid
  • Diameter: 854 km
  • Surface gravity: 0.02 G

ANALYSIS:
This gargantuan asteroid is clearly being used as a stopover by Outcasts – a small, empty supply post and docking station are built into the rock.

Planets Directory:

  1. H-028
  2. Efaja
  3. Grill
  4. Asiaq

H-028:

  • Orbital Distance:  .2 AU
  • Orbital Period:  .2 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.2
  • Radius:  7,918 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.07 atm
  • Surface Temp:  33 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

A near-constant bombardment of meteorites from the nearby asteroid belt pelts the surface of H-028. Its only real weather is the resulting dust clouds.

Efaja:

  • Orbital Distance:  .3 AU
  • Orbital Period:  .4 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.169
  • Radius:  4,138 km
  • Day Length:  56 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  7.04 atm
  • Surface Temp:  -1 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Thanks to its unusual orbit and axial tilt, Efaja is pounded by snow and howling winds for all but a few hours of each fifty-six hour day.

Grill:

  • Orbital Distance:  .7 AU
  • Orbital Period:  1.1 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.283
  • Radius:  4,138 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  89.22 atm
  • Surface Temp:  101 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

First discovered by an Outcast with an unusual sense of humor, Grill was named for its extremely hot metallic surface and earmarked for future mining operation.

Volcano 

DATA:

  • Active volcanic site
  • Profile: Scoria cone with current explosive eruption
  • Lava composition: Komatiite flow with unknown materials

ANALYSIS:
The lava flow from this volcano has annihilated an unmanned Outcast monitoring post, leaving equipment scattered and buried.

Asiaq:

  • Orbital Distance:  1.5 AU
  • Orbital Period:  3.4 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.292
  • Radius:  9,148 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  29.36 atm
  • Surface Temp:  -51 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Asiaq’s thick carbon dioxide and argon atmosphere shows symptoms of Scourge distortion, though no Scourge tendrils are detectable in the planet’s current orbital path.

Satellite 

DATA:

  • Satellite ID: Unknown
  • Power readings: 43.9%
  • System report: Primary instruments damaged; backups functional
  • Status: Operational

ANALYSIS:
This kett satellite is rapidly processing data on the atmosphere of Asiaq, though it has been badly damaged by the planet’s storms.
