This binary star system has been colonized by the Navarok Kuevoriveiko under a treaty making them part of the Serenity Concord signed in 2386. The Navarok have full control of the system within the guidelines of Concord law.

Salah Prime

Class: M
Distance: 9.06 x 107 (0.61 AU)
Period: 147.1 Days
Radius: 6,772.75 km (1.06 times Earth)
Gravity: 1.08 G

Salah Prime, a picturesque terrestrial world nestled within the binary star system of Salah, is a captivating blend of natural beauty and urban vibrancy. Boasting several booming cities, this idyllic planet has become a beacon of progress and innovation under the guidance of the Navarok Kuevoriveiko, who colonized the planet through the Serenity Concord. Majestic skylines adorned with futuristic architecture harmonize with the surrounding landscapes, showcasing the Navarok's architectural prowess. These cities serve as bustling hubs of commerce, culture, and scientific advancement, attracting scholars, entrepreneurs, and artists from far and wide. The Serenity Concord placed a Hermod Outpost on this world called Salah Terminal as a point of interstellar transit for the Navarok.

Within the bustling cityscapes of Salah Prime, a dynamic fusion of cultures thrives. Colorful markets, vibrant shopping districts, and a cornucopia of tantalizing cuisines create a sensory delight for residents and visitors alike. Amidst the urban hustle, Salah Prime's cities prioritize sustainability, seamlessly integrating renewable energy, eco-friendly transportation, and efficient waste management systems. Furthermore, the cities embrace the planet's natural splendor, incorporating expansive parks, tranquil lakes, and meandering rivers, offering moments of respite and a harmonious connection with nature. As day transitions into night, Salah Prime's cities come alive with a vibrant nightlife, offering captivating entertainment options that range from theatrical performances to cutting-edge technological experiences.

Salah 2

Class: V
Distance: 1.22 x 108
Period: 230 Days
Radius: 10,439.62 km (1.64 times Earth)
Gravity: 1.93 G

Salah 2 is a Class V super-terrestrial world with a very dense and toxic atmosphere. It has 5 asteroidal moons and dense vegetation over much of its surface, drawing water directly from the air like succulent plants on Earth, as well as tapping into an extensive network of underground aquifers. While no liquid water is on the surface, the planet's poles account for 23% of the total land mass covered in very dense ice. While oxygen, nitrogen, and argon are dominant in the atmosphere, hydrogen cyanide is also present at an average of 627 ppm, which exceeds the LD50 rating of the gas for humans. Several unique varieties of fungi native to this world give off the gas as a normal waste product. This world is a prime candidate for terraforming or colonization using pressure domes.

Asteroid Belt

A dense asteroid belt orbits at a distance of 1.20 AU from the central star, Salah. It has an average depth of 32,000 km with a variation of +/- 2,000 km. Asteroids are mostly standard ores such as iron, aluminum, and magnesium, with trace amounts of more valuable minerals.

Salah 3

Class: P4
Distance: 2.06 AU
Period: 2.53 Years
Radius: 9,903.88 km (1.55 times Earth)
Gravity: 1.62 G

Salah 3 is a cold glaciated world, larger than average for its class but otherwise typical for a world that evolved in the star's cold zone. It has a thick atmosphere of oxygen, nitrogen, and various hydrogen compounds. The planet's atmosphere is thick and dense, trapping almost all of the solar heat radiated by the binary system and adding it to the geothermal venting from the planet's core. A complex system of aquifers and massive pockets of liquid water extends across the entire planet 1-2 km under the ice. Various unique forms of single-celled organisms have evolved there. The core is composed of silicon, iron, and magnesium, with a higher than average content of rare-earth metals such as iridium and neodymium. The planet also has a very strong magnetic field.

Salah 4

Class: J
Distance: 3.50 AU
Period: 5.62 Years
Radius: 69,991.86 km
Gravity: 3.08 G

A typical Class J planet, with a hydrogen-helium atmosphere surrounding a core of liquid metallic hydrogen. The planet has 26 asteroidal moons and 5 larger moons, all of which are Class C2 composed of frozen hydrocarbons and ice over cores made of iron, nickel, magnesium, and aluminum ore.

Salah 5

Class: I5
Distance: 13.83 AU
Period: 22.21 Years
Radius: 17,707.54 km
Gravity: 0.97 G

Although smaller than most, the planet is compositionally typical for a Class I world. A small rocky core composed of mostly iron ore and silicate is covered by a thin layer of methane, ammonia, and ice. The bulk of the planet is a dense atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. There are 3 asteroidal moons orbiting the planet. Due to the planet's small size, the atmosphere is not as thick or turbulent as most Class I worlds, which could make extraction operations for the hydrogen and helium gases easier.
