A presentation brought to you by,

The Sentium Information Bureau

The Illal System:

The Illal solar system was first surveyed in the middle of the twenty second century, during a time now known as The Great Expansion, by the deep space exploration ship, SNARK.

This ship was built and funded by The Torkelik Foundation, a consortium of multiplanetary corporations.

The discovery of the rare mineral Caverite in the system, secured it a special and important place at the time.

The first people to settle on Illal, a then lush, sub tropical world, found that the atmosphere was un-breathable. As a result, three large atmosphere processing plants were set up on the surface to terraform it. These units were set up at the locations now marked by the Prosk, Sentium and Crion hubs. They also found some ancient ruins scattered around that date back thousands of years, some of which go deep into the planet. At the moment, no one knows who built them.

Below is a diagram of the Illal solar system with the relative sizes of the six planets.

We will start with Helos.

Helos

Posted Image

Closest planet to star
Size: Diam 12390km
Mass 0.92 Earths
Avg Temp 165 c
Orbital Year 105 days
Length of Day 1.29 days
Distance from star 65.3 million km

Helos is an arid hot world with active volcanoes and a toxic atmosphere. Several large deposits of Caverite can be found on this planet, but the harsh atmosphere makes it difficult and expensive to extract.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Illal

Posted Image

Second planet from star
Size: Diam 13158 km
Mass 1.08 Earths
Avg Temp 37.8c
Orbital Year 292 days
Length of day  22.5 hours
Distance from star 129 million km on the inner edge of the habitable zone.

Illal used to be a sub tropical planet covered in dense jungle and desert. Now, after many decades of terraforming, deforestation, strip mining  and over development, it is covered with technology and It's atmosphere is just, mildly toxic. Many alien artifacts and some ruins have been unearthed during the colonization proses. No one knows if these were put here by an indigenous population, or a former colony of some, as yet unknown, alien race. Illal has two moons. The closest one is named Fennon. It is a large moon, being slightly smaller than Mars, with comparable gravity. It has a thin, but breathable, atmosphere and is still undergoing terraforming. A large proportion of the people who left Illal because of the virus have relocated to this moon. The second moon is called Desos. This moon is quite small and has no atmosphere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etal

Posted Image

Third planet from star
Size: Diam 11376 approx size of Venus
Mass 0.86 Earths
Avg Temp -4.51c
Orbital Year 1.42 years
Length of day 2.73
Distance from Star 1.15au

Etal is a cold world on the outer edge of the habitable zone. It has a breathable, but thin, atmosphere and has been colonized. It no longer has any large bodies of surface water, but it does have hydro thermal vents and some lakes. There are large bodies of liquid water under the surface. There is life on Etal, in the form of vegetation, in and around the vents and lakes. There are also some higher life forms, but these have never evolved past the insect stage. There is a high amount of Caverite on this world, so it is mined extensively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalec

Posted Image

Forth planet from star
Size: Diam 7838km
Mass 0.14 Earths
Avg Temp -69.4c
Orbital Year 2.83 years
Length of day 1.03 day
Distance from Star 2au

Kalec is known as the shattered planet. Mainly composed of ice, with an iron core and a rocky inner mantle. Kalec get it's distinguishing marks from a collision with a smaller body, approximately 14 million years ago. The collision shattered the planet, which then coalesced again.

Kalec has one moon which was formed from the remains of the body that hit the planet. Kalec has a thin atmosphere and gravity comparable to Mars. It's surface is rich in mineral deposits, including Caverite, so is extensively mined.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maeff

Posted Image

Maeff  (pronounced, May-ef)
Fifth planet from star
Size: Diam 139822km
Mass 1.18 Jupiter's
Avg Temp -147c
Orbital Year 11.9 years
Length of day 9.93 hours
Distance from Star 5.20au

Maeff is a large blue gas giant mainly composed of hydrogen, helium and methane. It has an extensive ring system and 14 moons. The moons are mainly composed of rock and ice. The inner most moon, named Foenus, has a thick atmosphere which is highly toxic, but it has an average surface temp of 14c due to continuous volcanic activity caused by gravitational sheer. It has high concentrations of minerals. It has been colonized and is extensively mined.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Konsu

Posted Image

Sixth planet from star
Size Diam 116464kmm
Mass 95.2 Earths
Avg Temp -179c
Orbital Year 28.9 years
Length of day 10.7 hours
Distance from Star 9.38au

Konsu is a medium sized gas giant similar in size to Saturn. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. It has a smaller ring system than Maeff. Konsu has four moons and is unusual in the fact that it orbits the star in the opposite direction to all the other planets in the system. It is theorized that the planet was once a rogue that was captured by this stars gravity.

Welcome to Illal.

This is truly epic Sandspider. I hope the devs pick this up when they have finished with the patch. You deserve recognition for the massive amount of work you have put into this.

Thanks Pastorius, I'm glad you like, I love doing stuff like this. I have no idea if I have contradicted any information about the colonization, but there you go, lol. Bye the way, how is the Queen, I haven't seen her for a few weeks now.

Actually, she was asking about you earlier. I explained that you have been busy of late and she entirely understands. She says she'll see you down the Bingo on Monday night. ;)

Thanks to Pastorius, I was able to correct some inaccuracies about Illal, thanks mate.

You're gonna have to let Queeny know that I won't be able to make bingo, but I should be able to meet up at MacDonalds after.

Are you being legit about the dyslexia? That must've been crazy hard for you to write all that...wow. +1 respect for you, sir.

Also, after this gif, I'm pretty sure we're all either dyslexic or losing our minds...WE DON'T JUDGE HERE.
