-==Juliad==+===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]]. [[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.

-==Therima==+===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 relatively recently in 415 GD. It is 15% the mass of Mersia. [[Therima]] is the next-closest planet to Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 4.2 light minutes.

 ===Larxenais===  ===Larxenais=== 
  
-[[Larxenais (planet)|Larxenais]] is the seventh planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 51.5 light minutes. Uniquely among planets and known exoplanets, this is a toroidal planet. It completes its orbit in 4712 days. It is the first of the two liquid giants, being 90% water by mass with an atmosphere comprised mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its average rotational speed is estimated to one revolution every minute. Its mass is six times that of Mersia, and its average temperature is 130 degrees fahrenheit. There is a massive sapphire at the gravitational centerpoint of the torus. The mass of this gem is 20% that of Mersia, and it rotates at a speed of 154 rpm in the opposite direction of the toroid of water. All electronics aboard the three unmanned missions to this planet ceased functioning before a clear image could be resolved of the planet, indicating extreme electrical fields around this planet. The structure of this planet should not be physically possible, indicating divine interference in its apparent stability. Its axis of rotation is directly perpendicular to its axis of revolution, pointing at Verdai throughout its orbit. The presence of life on (or in) this planet cannot be confirmed or refuted.+[[Larxenais (planet)|Larxenais]] is the seventh planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 51.5 light minutes.

-Eliar is the eighth planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 88.8 light minutes. It is a brown dwarf with a mass 18,888 times that of Mersia, heavy enough to have initiated fusion of deuterium in its core. Consequently, it is the brightest object in the night sky apart from Et and Ro, even brighter than Lu, providing enough light to cast shadows when Et is a crescent or less, and when Ro is a quarter or less.+Eliar is a sub-stellar object which orbits Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 88.8 light minutes.

-[[Bax]] is the ninth planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 112 light minutes. It is a gaseous planet with a mass 411 times that of Mersia, comprised primarily of hydrogen and helium. It has a spectacular ring system which extends out to three times its own radius. Its ring system is comprised primarily of captured objects from the adjacent [[petroid belt]]. Bax has at least 39 moons. Notable among these are the Baxian Quintet, five moons which are large enough that they would be considered planets if they orbited Verdai. Due to the relative proximity of Bax to Eliar, for about 15% of its orbit, Bax receives more light and heat from Eliar than from Verdai. This fact extends to its many moons.+[[Bax]] is the eighth planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 112 light minutes.

-[[Welin]] is the tenth planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 146 light minutes. It has a mass 27 times that of Mersia, and is comprised primarily of Hydrogen and Helium. It has a faint asymmetric ring system. Welin, like Larxenais, has an axis of rotation perpendicular to its axis of revolution, as well as a strong magnetic field. Welin, and its magnetic field, are responsible for disturbing petroid objects (which have a high iron content) and sending them into Bax's orbital path, where they usually join its ring system if they are not simply disintegrated. Welin has over 400 moons.+[[Welin]] is the ninth planet from Verdai, orbiting it at a distance of 146 light minutes.

-[[Jalas]] is the eleventh planet from Verdai and the inner of the two ice giants, orbiting it at a distance of 183 light minutes. It has a mass 13 times that of Mersia. It has an atmosphere comprised primarily of hydrogen and helium, with significant amounts of methane which give it a distinct blue hue. It has a large icy core of water and ammonia. Not counting Yoph (a moon), it has the highest wind speed of any planet, with winds reaching up to 300 mph.+[[Jalas]] is the tenth planet from Verdai and the inner of the two ice giants, orbiting it at a distance of 183 light minutes.

-[[Oon]] is the twelfth planet from Verdai and the outer of the two ice giants, orbiting Verdai at a distance of 270 light minutes. It has a mass 19 times that of Mersia. Its atmospheric composition is very similar to that of Jalas, comprised of hydrogen and helium, and with a core of methane and ammonia, as well as water. It has four moons, but only one of them was discovered before the advent of space exploration.+[[Oon]] is the eleventh planet from Verdai and the outer of the two ice giants, orbiting Verdai at a distance of 270 light minutes.
