System Info - Indicus System

The Indicus System is a planetary system in the constellation of Kolarian Minor, in the Subere Arm of the Andromeda Galaxy. It has one Yellow Dwarf star.

• Planet II "Gehena"
Class: Hot Desert

Surface Temperature: 510°C
Orbital Time: 301.3 Days
Satellite(s): 1 - Selena "Legav"
Life: None
Description: An extremely hot desert Venus-like world, completely lifeless, it is covered by seas of liquid Sulfur, which early Terran Indicus astronomers mistook for oceans of water, and assumed Gehena must of had life. Early Terran Indicus astronomers, though imaginative, had flawed logic. Gehena seemed to have seas, it had a lot of clouds, what comes with dark clouds? Rain. And a lot of water, and a shredded looking swamped landscape. It seemed logical to ancient Terran Indicus that Gehena was a swamp, and the Terran Indicus than assumed there should clearly be large fish and reptiles there. Many of the most ancient drawings Terran Indicus made were drawings of animals from their neighboring planets. Astronomer Leo Kund's work, from the Bronze Age, in the Leatish Dynasty, was the most well known. One of his more idealistic paintings was an ancient mural of a Vulgaris, a large Arganian mammalian reptile hunting on Argan's largest moon, Nihass, which he depicted to be grey, but tropical.

• Planet III "Akobisia"
Class: Warm Gas Giant
Diameter: 75,530 km
Core: Solid
Atmosphere: Hydrogen, Helium
Surface Temperature: 218°C
Orbital Time: 358.1 Days
Satellite(s): 25 - Selena "Giana", Selena "Nihub"
Life: None
Description: The brightest "star" in Argan's sky, Akobisia is the first gas giant in the Indicus System, and the smallest, but closest to Argan. It has tens of dozens of asteroid moons, but two large ones as well. Its largest, Giana, has a temperate climate, and atmosphere of oxygen, and nitrogen, and several small seas on its surface, which is dotted by patches of blue, primitive plant life, and primitive land and sea animals. Originally, Akobisia was thought by the ancient Terran Indicus to be a tropical world, and never realized until they entered into the Space Age that Giana was the tropical world, and not Akobisia. When the first pictures were taken of Giana, it was assumed the blueness on its surface was reflective from the bluish purple gas giant above, until a rover was actually sent to the moon, and it was discovered the moon was in its earliest stages of development, with the aquatic life of the moon and plant life just beginning to colonize the land. Giana was never settled by the advanced Terran Indicus, due to their fear of contaminating the planet with their microbes, and their microbes would fight with the native microbes, one of the species would develop as a result into a super virus, and destroy the moon's biosphere. Giana was established as a wild life preserve, with no one permitted to land anything on the large moon. The discovery of life on Giana resulted in the complete collapse of 4 Indicus religions, most popular of which was Creationism, and Unarism, both religions stated clearly in their beginnings that the Terran Indicus, and the life on Argan, were the only life in the entire universe. Akobisia, for a short time, was mining in orbit of its atmosphere by the Terran Indicus when they reached the Interplanetary stage, mainly for Helium-3, which they were using for a long time for fuel to get around their solar system, and when they became Star Faring, they used it for starship fuel, though a round trip to their closest star at 2.5 light years away would of taken over 8 years, until they began using Thorium and other energy sources. Akobisia's gravity stops a majority of the mountain sized asteroids that would hit Argan from the inner asteroid belt, much like Araimisia, or Jupiter from Sol.

• Planet IV "Argan"
Class: Temperate Terra
Diameter: 16,351 km
Core: Molten
Atmosphere: Nitrogen, Oxygen
Surface Temperature: 25°C
Orbital Time: 434.7 Days
Satellite(s): 3 - Selena "Aria", Selena "Chulia", Selena "Nihass"
Life: Terrestrial, Marine
Description: The homeworld of the Terran Indicus, a subspecies of Homo Sapiens, the planet has seen its fair share of disasters and wars. The planet has 6 oceans, and 9 continents. It has a very tropical, and mountainous environment. The planet's biosphere is a mixture of integrated flora and fauna from Earth, and native flora and fauna, all which went through a stage of destroying each other, until the food chain and biosphere stabilized once more. The planet's Terran states unified in the 320,080s. The planet has the largest moon in the system, Nihass.

• Planet V "Marchisello"
Class: Cool Desert
Diameter: 8,153 km
Core: Molten
Atmosphere: Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen
Surface Temperature: -115°C
Orbital Time: 571.2 Days
Satellite(s): 1 - Selena "Centub"
Life: None
Description: A cool desert, like Mars, it was one of the few worlds the ancient Terran Indicus got right about, it looked like a desert to them, and it turned out to be a desert.

• Planet VI "Boneleon"
Class: Cold Titan
Diameter: 4,536 km
Core: Solid
Atmosphere: None
Surface Temperature: -220°C
Orbital Time: 815.5 Days
Satellite(s): None
Life: None
Description: A lifeless, atmosphereless, useless planet.

• Planet VII "Araimisia"
Class: Cold Gas Giant
Diameter: 92,327 km
Core: Solid
Atmosphere: Hydrogen, Nitrogen
Surface Temperature: -300°C
Orbital Time: 1091.3 Days
Satellite(s): 49 - Selena "Norma"
Life: None
Description: The largest planet in the Indicus system, Araimisia's gravity grabs a lot of the mountain sized meteors that roll into the inner Indicus planets from the outer asteroid belt, that would of hit Argan early on in its life, much like how Jupiter protects Earth from a majority of the asteroids that orbit Sol.
