Ixar System

Note. I am going to go through this and perform actual calculations to make the orbital periods accurate, but I am just getting the basic feel of each planet down for right now. I'm aware the orbital periods are not 100% consistent with the orbital radius yet. Please ignore that inconsistency for now.

The Ixar System is the stellar system comprised of the star Verdai, the twelve planets orbiting it, and the other minor objects within its gravitational sphere of influence.

Planets

The planets of the Ixar System are grouped into four categories. The rocky planets, the liquid giants, Eliar, and the gas giants.

Rocky Planets

There are seven rocky planets orbiting Verdai. Their orbits vary in radius from 2.8 light minutes to 14 light minutes.

Juliad

Juliad is the closest planet to Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of only 2.8 light minutes. It completes its orbit in 68 days, and is tidally locked to Verdai. It is inhospitable to life, with a surface temperature in excess of 1000 degrees F on the sunny side. It has no atmosphere. It is 7% the mass of Mersia.

Therima

Therima is the next-closest planet to Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 4.2 light minutes. It completes its orbit in 102 days. It is inhospitable to life, with a surface temperature of 600 degrees F. It has a very thin atmosphere, with a surface that is nearly perfectly black, reflecting less than 2% of light. Due to this, it was not discovered until 415 GD. It is 15% the mass of Mersia.

Folst

Folst is the third planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 6 light minutes. It completes its orbit in 150 days. It is
