Summary:
|
|
The
complicated system of Alula Australis
contains two main stars both with red dwarfs orbiting close to them. The main stars are two nearly identical
g-class stars similar to Sol. The
stars orbit each other at an average distance of 21.2 AU, but there eccentric
orbit brings them as close as 13 AU.
Orbiting the first star (Aa) is a red dwarf
(Ab) at an average distance of 0.8 AU. Looking at the skies of the primary planet Axia the two suns can be seen moving across the sky, also
the second system (stars Ba, Bb) can be seen. In the second system another red dwarf
orbits close to star Ba in a four day orbit. From planets in either system the other
systems stars appear extremely bright (6000 times that of a full moon). The system is one of the most unique in the
galaxy, in few places can four different suns be seen rising and falling
during the course of the day and night.

A red dwarf
star orbiting the star Aa at a distance of 0.8 AU.

|
|
Axia
|
|
|
The
mountainous world of Axia orbits the yellow larger star Aa
and the red dwarf Ab. Both stars can be moving across the sky
during the day.

Karida
|
|
|
Karida is a large
moon orbiting Axia. Numerous domed
cities were built on the moon’s surface.
The domes protect the residents of the deadly vacuum caused by the
lack of an atmosphere.

Malatus
|
|
Malatus
is an outer world orbiting stars Aa and Ab. The planet is
a cold world made up mostly of ice.
There is a thin atmosphere here.

Alula Australis Bb
|

A red dwarf orbiting star Ba in a four day
torch orbit. From the planets of the B
system the two stars look extremely close.

Cordelia
|
|
Cordelia is an iron
rich world orbiting the close binary system.
There are numerous small mining colonies scattered across the surface.

|
|
|
Nacrusia
|
|
More distant and somewhat colder than Cordelia is the planet
Nacrusia. A thin atmosphere of carbon
dioxide exists here. The planet is
similar to a blue version of Mars, the blue color caused by higher amounts of
ice.
