Layan Solar-system

System Specs:

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

Layan‘s remoteness prompts Dr. Suvi Anwar to remark on its particular view of the Scourge.

Starship Wreckage 

DATA:

  • Ship ID: Tarb-04
  • Ship name: Unknown
  • Crew complement: 1
  • Status: N/A

ANALYSIS:
The resident of this escape pod has been deceased for some time, but her records reveal that she was one of the Nexus exiles. Her passion for the Andromeda Initiative’s scientific goals never faded; she died here, on one final exploratory mission.

Planets Directory:

  1. Pas-40a
  2. Pas-29
  3. Everodaan
  4. Pas-32

Pas-40a:

  • Orbital Distance:  0.6 AU
  • Orbital Period:  0.5 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  _
  • Radius:  1,712 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.12 atm
  • Surface Temp:  69 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Pas-40‘s moon likely came into being through a massive asteroid impact millennia ago, creating both the planet’s rings and Pas-40a.

Crater 

DATA:

  • Hyper-velocity impact crater
  • Rim diameter: 357 km
  • Depth: Approx. 2.3 km
  • Ejecta: Mineral deposits

ANALYSIS:

Buried at the center of this crater is an ancient metal object that appears to be some sort of torpedo. It seems Pas-40a was caught in the crossfire of a space battle centuries or millennia ago.

Pas-29:

  • Orbital Distance:  1.3 AU
  • Orbital Period:  1.6 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.858
  • Radius:  6,050 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  102.39 atm
  • Surface Temp:  406 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Pas-29’s constant downpour of sulfuric acid rain evaporates before touching the planet surface, where streams of lava are spewed regularly by active volcanoes.

Everodaan:

  • Orbital Distance:  2.4 AU
  • Orbital Period:  4.3 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.748
  • Radius:  7,858 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  16.16 atm
  • Surface Temp:  60 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses

Images from an unmanned flyover of Everodaan brought its gemstone mountains to angaran attention centuries ago. The planet was an icon of alien beauty, now generally forgotten.

Pas-32:

  • Orbital Distance:  5.8 AU
  • Orbital Period:  15.7 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.792
  • Radius:  64,742 km
  • Day Length:  _ Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  1.06 atm
  • Surface Temp:  _ °C
  • Surface Gravity:  _ g
  • Mass:  _ Earth-masses
  • Satellites:  2

Pas-32 is, according to our best calculations, positioned at a “safe distance” from the Scourge, such that observations made from Pas-32 are not wildly distorted by Scourge effects.

Satellite

DATA:

  • Satellite ID: Unknown
  • Power readings: 41.1%
  • System report: Sensors functional and active
  • Status: Operational

ANALYSIS:

This satellite appears to use Andromeda Initiative technology and is oriented to monitor the Scourge. How and why it was placed, however, is a mystery.
