System and its Planetray
Oikos
Nestled within the celestial tapestry, Oikos was initially perceived as a variable star during early observations. However, humanity’s evolving understanding revealed Oikos to be a binary star system, consisting of two stars. Oikos A takes center stage, boasting a planetary system richer than its stellar counterpart. Despite this abundance, the immense mass and intense radiation render most of Oikos’ planets unsuitable for direct human habitation.
Skyro
Skyro, a medium-sized rocky planet, captures the imagination with its intriguing history. Accompanied by the satellite Poulo, Skyro proudly displays an evident ring and is predominantly composed of ammonia crystals and meteorite blocks. Silicate rocks dominate Skyro’s surface, sculpted by the relentless impact of meteorites over time, creating a landscape of fascinating vicissitudes.
Poulo
Meet Poulo, the enigmatic satellite in close orbit around Skyro. Positioned near the Roche limit, Poulo, with its low orbit, could be aptly described as a giant moon when observed from Skyro’s surface. Poulo’s unique journey unfolds as it gradually succumbs to Skyro’s gravitational influence, destined to become tidally locked and forever facing its planetary host. Poulo’s peculiar composition, marked by an absence of a metal core, results in a relatively low overall density, adding to the mystique of this celestial companion.
