The Plukail star system is an uninhabited star system located in the Tau Majestius Sector. It is home to a diverse array of celestial bodies, including five planets. Among these planets, there is one terrestrial world known as Sagnao, which stands out due to its unique and inhospitable nature. Sagnao possesses a toxic and corrosive atmosphere, rendering it unsuitable for sustaining life as we know it. This planet's thin atmosphere is composed of sodium, hydrogen, helium, and other trace elements, creating an environment that is highly corrosive and perilous. Additionally, Sagnao exhibits very little surface water, further contributing to its inhospitable conditions. However, what makes Sagnao truly intriguing is its perpetual and ever-flowing lava. The planet's molten surface continuously churns with streams of lava, shaping its dynamic and mesmerizing landscape. The Plukail star system, with its diverse range of planets and the enigmatic Sagnao at its core, presents a captivating subject for scientific exploration and study within the vast expanse of the Tau Majestius Sector.

Sagnao, a planet situated at a distance of 2.63 x 103 kilometers (0.44 astronomical units) from the Plukail star in the Plukail star system, presents a fascinating yet treacherous landscape. This largely molten world is characterized by a thin atmosphere composed of sodium, hydrogen, helium, and trace elements. The surface of Sagnao is a tumultuous expanse with high concentrations of radon, uranium, iron, and lead, along with a significant presence of radioactive isotopes. These abundant radioactive metals contribute to the planet's perpetually high levels of radiation. The intense heat and molten nature of the surface make it inhospitable for life as we know it. Sagnao's extreme conditions make it an intriguing subject for scientific study, allowing researchers to gain insights into the volatile geological processes and extreme environments found within the Plukail star system. Service temperature is 141.28 C with a pressure of 111.4 kPa (1.10 atm).
Eternal Lava Flow
One truly unique aspect of Sagnao is its perpetual, ever-flowing lava. The planet's molten surface constantly churns with streams of lava, creating a mesmerizing display of fiery rivers that snake and meander across its landscape. This constant lava flow, combined with the high levels of radiation and the presence of radioactive elements, contributes to Sagnao's distinctive and dynamic geology. Scientists are intrigued by this phenomenon, studying the mechanisms behind the planet's continuous volcanic activity and the role it plays in shaping its volatile surface. The eternal lava flow of Sagnao stands as a testament to the planet's restless nature and its geological processes that differ significantly from more stable worlds.
Elmars
| Class: | H |
| Distance: | 1.20 x 108 km (0.80 AU) |
| Period: | 265.8 Days |
| Radius: | 5,327.42 km (0.84 of Earth) |
| Gravity: | 0.86 G |
Elmars, situated at a distance of 1.20 x 108 kilometers (0.80 astronomical units) from the Plukail star in the Plukail star system, is a planet that exists on the outer fringes of the system's habitable zone. This world presents a harsh and arid environment, characterized by scorching temperatures and a thick, corrosive atmosphere. Surface water is scarce, with only 7% of the planet's water existing as ice at the poles. The dense atmosphere creates a hostile environment for life, making Elmars an inhospitable world. However, despite these challenging conditions, scientists have discovered that underground water reserves in small aquifers deep beneath the surface offer some potential for sustaining life. Elmars also exhibits a mesmerizing spectacle in the form of a captivating set of small rings encircling the planet, adding a unique feature to its already dramatic landscape. The surface of Elmars is frequently engulfed by powerful electromagnetic storms, creating a captivating yet perilous phenomenon that further contributes to its hostile nature. The planet has an average temperature 34.2 C and an average surface pressure of 150.7 kPa (1.49 atm).
Acidic Rain
Elmars is known for periodic episodes of acidic rain, a result of its corrosive atmosphere. The raindrops that fall on Elmars' surface are composed of corrosive substances, such as sulfuric acid and other acidic compounds. This phenomenon poses additional challenges for surface exploration and any potential colonization efforts, as the acidic rain can erode structures, equipment, and even organic matter over time. Protective measures and specialized materials would be necessary to mitigate the corrosive effects of the acidic rain and ensure the longevity of any infrastructure or habitats on the planet.
Megutera
| Class: | C |
| Distance: | 1.16 AU |
| Period: | 1.27 Years |
| Radius: | 3,281.43 km (0.52 of Earth) |
| Gravity: | 0.16 G |
Megutera, positioned 1.16 astronomical units (AU) away from the Plukail star within the Plukail star system, presents an unremarkable terrestrial profile. Devoid of any substantial atmosphere, the planet's landscape appears barren and desolate. However, Megutera showcases the potential for valuable resource extraction. The presence of high concentrations of common metals and other minerals establishes Megutera as a prospect for future mining operations. Although outwardly unassuming, this world exemplifies the notion that seemingly ordinary celestial bodies can harbor hidden riches beneath their rugged surfaces. The planet experiences negligible surface pressure, and its average temperature hovers around -17.9°C. This planet has the Plukail Terminal located on it.
Magnetic Vortexes
The magnetic vortexes on Megutera, previously unnoticed until recent survey efforts, exhibit swirling energy patterns resulting from the convergence of powerful magnetic fields. While these vortexes do not pose a direct risk to spacecraft in orbit, they can interfere with transporter operations due to the magnetic distortions present. However, there are no observed shifts in gravitational forces associated with these magnetic vortexes. As a result, spacecraft navigation and communication systems may require adjustments to compensate for the magnetic disturbances when attempting to land on the planet.
Ovadus
| Class: | D |
| Distance: | 3.58 AU |
| Period: | 6.92 Years |
| Radius: | 1,680.70 km (0.26 of Earth) |
| Gravity: | 0.17 G |
Ovadus is a small rocky world situated 3.58 astronomical units (AU) away from the Plukail star within the Plukail star system. With a radius of 1,680.70 kilometers, approximately 0.26 times the size of Earth, Ovadus exhibits a compact physical profile. Its stark surface lacks any significant atmosphere, leaving it exposed to cosmic radiation and meteoric impacts. The planet's composition primarily consists of lead, potassium, radium, and silicon, rendering it a mineral-rich celestial body. The absence of any discernible atmosphere renders Ovadus inhospitable to life as currently understood. Additionally, the planet's surface temperature averages at a chilling -127.9°C, exacerbated by the absence of any atmospheric mechanism for heat retention.
The Silent Structures
According to quantum dating analysis, the massive monolithic structures scattered across Ovadus have been determined to be approximately 5 to 10 billion years old, nearly as ancient as the star system itself. These enigmatic structures, devoid of discernible origin, showcase intricate geometric patterns and inscrutable symbols. Despite meticulous examination, their purpose and the civilization responsible for their creation continue to elude comprehension. The enigmatic nature of these structures remains a complete enigma, defying explanation and leaving researchers perplexed. Their presence raises profound questions regarding the evolution and history of Ovadus, necessitating further investigations to shed light on these enduring mysteries.
