System Name: Cocytus

Star size: 1.4 million Km diameter, white star

Points of interest



Planet One: Judecca

Clan Headquarters / Training Planet
Size (diameter): 6,000km
Distance from star: 108 million km
Number of moons (with names): 3 (Judas, Brutus, Cassius)
Atmosphere(s) and Average Equatorial Temperature (AET) in degrees C
Breathable, with oxygen content slightly higher than normal. 35
Judas also has a breathable atmosphere, though thin. 23
Brutus has an atmosphere, but it is composed of caustic gases. 12
Cassius is a lifeless rock. -40

General appearance: Standard range of climates, with tropical,
temperate, and desert zones, though polar ice caps cover approximately 8% of the planet.

Judas is mostly dense jungle, cut up by vast rivers and lakes.

Any other life-forms: Standard range of animal life on both Judecca and Judas, but with a bizarre abundance of squirrels on both which somehow appear to have climbed to the top of the food chain, even though there are various creatures that out match them one-to-one. No known sentient beings.

Other information: Judas is the closest moon to the planet and has an almost geostationary orbit. Almost geostationary, as it takes just over 3,000 years for the moon to do one complete orbit of the planet.The orbit itself is elliptical, and at a certain point of the orbit the two atmospheres briefly touch, causing huge electrical storms. It is believed that the animals on both planet and moon are so similar as the winds between the two during this time, which lasts for about three weeks, could have pulled life from one to dump it on the other. Scientists believe that in around 2.5 million years the moon will be pulled down onto the planet, causing the probable destruction of both.

As well as the Clan HQ, the planet also houses many different
environmental training centres, as do the moons.

The Clan HQ is triagle shaped and resides close to the central
mountain range in the nothern continent.. Detailed info will follow.

Planet Two: Antenora
  Home of Hose Acclivis Draco
Size: 7,000km
Distance from star: 492 million km
Number of moons: 1 (Ugolino)
Atmosphere / AET: Slightly thinner then normal, but breathable with no additional equipment. 43
Ugolino actually has a fairly standard atmosphere. 18

General appearance: Practically entirely desert, with several high
mountainous areas. The only exception is a circular oasis at the
northern pole, roughly circular with a diameter of approximately 700 miles. The oasis is sub-tropical.

Ugolino has a standard range of climates, including excellent areas for food production. Any other life-forms: Scorpions, desert snakes, and some birds and small mammals (in the oasis), wide range of life on Ugolino. No known sentient beings.

Other information: HAD have built their home at the end a large ravine in the main equatorial mountain range, with great natural defences in the mountains.

The fast moving, large moon completes two orbits of the planet during its standard day of 26 hours, which means that the day is broken up into one period of day-time lasting 4 hours, one period of eclipse induced night-time lasting one hour, another period of daytime lasting on average 8 hours, with the next 13 hours being proper night-time.

Planet three: Caina
  Home of House Dorimad Sol
Number of moons with names: 1 (Mascheroni)
Size: 24,000Km
Distance from star: 771 million km
Atmosphere / AET: Breathable, highly humid atmosphere on the planet. 5
No atmosphere present on Mascheroni. -30

General appearance: Except for a band around the equator, stretching 250 miles north and south from the equator proper, the planet is covered by the ice caps. The ice caps, however, are mineral rich, and can be mined effectively. Mascheroni is a dead rock. Any other life-forms: Penguins. No known sentient beings.

Other information: Caina was, in the past, a mining colony for the ore and minerals in the glacial areas, but all prospectors stopped
production due to heavy pirate activity in the area, which was brought to a halt under the Empire's rule. No miners have since returned, although the surface is pockmarked with areas that have already been mined, and there are countless thousand miles of tunnels that have been cut deep into the ice.

Planet four: Ptolomea
  Home of House Caliburnus
Number of moons with names: 2 (Alberigo, Zanche)
Size: 16,000 km
Distance from star: 984 million km
Atmosphere / AET: Roughly standard, though with substantially higher oxygen content. 37
Alberigo has no atmosphere. - 32
Zanche had an almost 100% oxygen atmosphere. 240

General appearance: Heavily Jungle, with temperate zones close to the fairly small poles.

Alberigo is a dead rock.. Zanche is a moon-wide fire storm, as a
result of a stray star craft igniting the atmosphere. The pure oxygen atmosphere sustains the fire, which does produce a source of energy.

Any other life-forms: Nearly standard life spread, though with a
seeming over abundance of fish and small marine life (no larger marine mammals), and a rather conspicuous lack of insects. No known sentient beings.

Other information: In the same way that the moon of Ugolino over
Antenora causes two period of darkness, the moon of Zanche over Ptolomea causes strange night time / daytime effects. Depending on the location on the planet, the location of the moon can cause a variety of effects - a period of brightness during the normal night cycle, an extra bright period during the normal daytime, or at certain times of the lunar period, complete brightness for full days at a time. The light given off by Zanche isn't as bright as the light from the Cocytus, but the sometimes 'never-ending light' periods have been know to cause insomnia and madness. Scientists assume that the lack of insects is down to the fact that they all became extinct since the accident on Zanche, being unable to adapt to the variations in night and day.

Caliburnus has been placed on this planet to act as the primary
defences for the Clan's system, and as such there are House bases on the moon of Alberigo.
