October 5, 2016 - 1:31pm | STAR: ZEBULON Zebulon is a G-class (Yellow) main sequence star that is in an unusual system containing a number of asteroid belts and four major planets. The entire system appears to have been influenced by the gravitational capture of Star's Hope sometime in the distant past. PLANET: ANKER (ZEBULON I) Anker is a hot world, close to Zebulon; however, it has a nitrogencontaining atmosphere and fits a number of terraforming criteria laid out by GodCo. PLANET: VOLTURNUS (ZEBULON II) Volturnus (Zebulon II) is a habitable planet with infrared signatures of nitrogen, oxygen, water, and water vapor in the atmosphere. ASTEROID BELTS: ZEBULON III, IV These asteroid belts appear to have been generated by gravitational collapse of planets in the Zebulon system when Star's Hope was captured. A number of these asteroid belts are dense enough to be a problem for interstellar flight. All incoming vessels are suggested to enter the system between Star's Hope and Zebulon VI before heading in system. PLANET: STAR'S HOPE (ZEBULON V) Star's Hope is a massive gas giant that is very close to the mass of a brown dwarf. The orbit of Star's Hope is in the opposite direction of all other objects in the system, suggesting that it is a captured. PLANET: ZEBULON VI Zebulon VI is an ice planet that may have been formed by a number of Kuiper belt objects. Note: The originator of this star system description is Chris D. Putnam. Joe Cabadas |
