Summary:
The Veillus system is a four planet system orbiting an orange K
class star. The star is fairly dim with
a little more than one tenth sols luminosity.
Refuges from the nearby Babbilus system first settled this system after
a comet crashed and destroyed large parts of the planet. A long world war ensued afterwards on
Babbilus, leaving millions homeless searching for a new world. Veillus A was
established as a Free World during the war allowing the millions to
rebuild. Population grew slowly on Veillus because of the harsh cold, constant snow storms,
and poisonous fungus that covered the planet.
Many found Veillus to be no better off than
they were on Babbilus, though eventually the world did grow a large enough
population to become self sufficient.

Veillus A
|
|
Veillus
A is world smaller than earth with about ½ the gravity. The planet’s low gravity and highly active
plate tectonics allow extremely large mountain ranges to crisscross the
planet, unlike anything seen on earth.
The world is getting colder and many believe is heading into an ice
age. Snow can occur almost anywhere on
the planet nearly year round. The
large mountains block many of the storms from heading into the interior of
the continents creating large deserts.
The planets deserts remain green though because of a strange fungus
that grows in the dry areas, and requires little water to live. The fungus is poisonous to humans leaving large
parts of the planet unlivable.
Colonists hope that the ice age the world is heading into will kill
the fungus that has taken over the planet.

Veillus B

Veillus
B orbits outside the systems narrow habitable zone. The planet has a very thin carbon dioxide
atmosphere. The planets surface is
composed high amounts of iron and magnesium.
Dark lines streak across the planets surface; these were created by
high volcanic activity early in the planets history.

Veillus C
|
|
A gas giant
composed of hydrogen, helium, ammonia, oxygen, and sulfur. The planets atmosphere also contains neon
and krypton, usually only seen in much colder gas giants. The gas layers rotate at different speeds
creating a large variation in the planets colors. Helium-3 is mined from deep within the
planet.

Veillus D
|
|
A fairly
average ice giant like Uranus and Neptune.
Because the dim sun this world sits closer to the star than most ice
giants. The world is very cold and has
little to offer.
