Nyli System
The Nyli system is located in the Lorath cluster, a core group of systems belonging to the Lorath Matriarchy, the Nyli system was temporarily the homeworld of the Lorath Matriarchy during a period in time in which their homeworld was evacuated making Nyli the second most developed and populous system under Matriarchy control.
The central Lorath settlement of the Nyli system is located on the third planet of the system. Terraforming efforts are planned for a majority of the planets and moons of the system, to make the best of what the system has to offer to the Lorath.
The Nyli system previously was in the path of a large number of asteroids comprised of ice, which has resulted in a number of planets and moons in the system posessing a layer of ice upon their surfaces. Additionally, there is an extensive asteroid field which surrounds the outer bounds of the system, a majority of the asteroids are comprised of various minerals, with the remaining number being composed of water based asteroids which float in the field.
System Information
Star
- Star: White Main Sequence
- Star Name: Cueh
- Type: F (Spectral Class)
- Surface Temperature: 6,000 K
- Average Mass (In comparison to earth’s sun): 1.5
- Radius (In comparison to earth’s sun):1.1
- Yerkes Luminosity: Type V
- Number of Planets: 7
Nyli I
- Terrain: Barren Terrestrial Class D
- Atmosphere: Virtually non-existent
- Primary Composition: Nickel, Iron
- Moons: None
- Distance From Star: .25 AU
- Notable Features:
Nyli II
- Terrain: Ocean Terrestrial Class K
- Atmosphere: Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
- Primary Composition: Iron, silver
- Moons: One barren moon, one volcanic
- Distance From Star: .90 AU
Notable Features:
99% of Nyli II is covered in water. Nyli II has a rather abundant amount of aquatic life, including various forms of fish, aquatic ma malls, and crustaceans.
There are several 'Dead Zones' disbursed throughout the planet, these dead zones are caused by excessive amounts of silver in the water of the region. The excess silver results in an absence of bacteria and other small organisms, thus preventing the establishment of a stable biosphere. Structol has been added to recover the silver, producing fields of pyrite that are recovered to restore the eco-system.
[ABSOLUTELY REDACTED] scouts have noted this planet as “Delicious looking” due to the extensive aquatic life which has been detected in the planet's waters.
Nyli III
- Terrain: Garden Terrestrial Class M
- Atmosphere: Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen
- Primary Composition: Iron, nickel, silica
- Moons: Four; Barren, Barren, Aquatic/Ice, Volcanic
- Distance From Star: 1.3 AU
Notable Features
Nyli III has been selected as the primary Lorath refugee settlement.
Nyli III's terrain consists of two ice caps, jungles on the planet's equator, minimal desert terrain, light to dense forests, vast gently hilled plains, and 55% of the planet's surface is water.
The planet seems to be in the early stages of biological growth, thus there are few species present. The species present are primarily; reptilian, aquatic, insect, and micro organism based life, thus making the planet a prime candidate for introduction of Lor based animals.
The planet consists of two primary continents, and various island chains.
Temperatures in the northern and southern ice cap areas of the planet often remain between -30 degrees Celsius and -1 degrees Celsius.
Temperatures in areas between the ice caps and equator tend to remain between 0 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Celsius.
Temperatures in areas on or near the equator tend to remain between 15 degrees Celsius and 48 degrees Celsius. The volcanic moon of Nyli III has large quantities of exploitable mineral deposits, and large quantities of valuable minerals which remain in a liquid state.
Nyli IV
- Terrain: Frozen Terrestrial Class D
- Atmosphere: Faint traces of oxygen and hydrogen.
- Primary Composition: Iron, nickel,Frozen H20
- Moons: Four moons, each frozen over with water.
- Distance From Star: 1.9 AU
Notable Features:
The planet and moons of Nyli IV are entirely covered with frozen water, both the planet and moons seem to have sustained impacts from frozen asteroids which consisted primarily of water.
Due to the frozen water, the planet and moons of Nyli IV are prime candidates for terraforming efforts.
Nyli V
- Terrain: Volcanic Terrestrial Class H
- Atmosphere: Carbon-dioxide, Carbon-monoxide, trace vapors Hof various minerals, oxygen.
- Primary Composition: Iron, nickel, titanium, various heavy metals
- Moons: Two moons, both terrestrial with toxic atmospheres.
- Distance From Star: 2.5 AU
- Notable Features: Nyli V's surface temperature seems to primarily be kept at above boiling point due to the volatile core of the planet.
Nyli VI
- Terrain: Gas Giant Class J
- Atmosphere: Helium, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon-Dioxide,.
- Primary Composition: Various heavy metal core
- Moons: Seven moons, Two toxic, one methane ice, two ice with various toxic compounds, two barren.
- Distance From Star: 3 AU
- Notable Features: N/A
Nyli VII
- Terrain: Gas(Ice?) Giant Class J
- Atmosphere: Helium, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon-Dioxide, Methane, various heavy metal core.
- Primary Composition: Nickel core, various other metals.
- Moons: 8 Moons, two volcanic, four barren, two ice covered
- Distance From Star: 3.5 AU
- Notable Features: Nyli VII is a ringed gas giant, which has a mineral core which is comprised of various materials, including various crystalline deposits.
