Winovin is a binary star system in the Ataraddon sector, the central star is a large white subgiant and the companion star is a small red dwarf star, there are 5 planets in the system and an asteroid belt.

Winovin 1

Class: D
Distance: 4.63 AU
Period: 6.21 Years
Radius: 1,036.28 km (0.16 of Earth)
Gravity: 0.17 G

Winovin 1 is much smaller than Earth with much lower gravity. While it exists within the ecosphere of the system, it does not have sufficient gravity to retain enough atmosphere for development into a life bearing world. It holds a thin atmosphere of mostly small chain hydrocarbons. The core is composed mostly of iron and silicate. There are pockets of ice on the planet, only about 7% of the surface is frozen water. On the surface there is evidence that an alien civilization may have colonized the world at some point in the past, though there are no active signs of inhabitants of any kind.

Unique Features

Magnetic Veins
Winovin 1 exhibits an extraordinary network of magnetic veins crisscrossing its surface. These veins, composed of highly conductive minerals, create mesmerizing patterns visible from space and generate unique magnetic anomalies. Researchers have observed that these magnetic veins are intricately linked to the planet's core dynamics, affecting its geology and potentially influencing the planet's climate and atmospheric processes.
Chrono-Flux Anomaly
Winovin 1 experiences a peculiar chrono-flux anomaly, causing time dilation effects in specific regions. Areas affected by this phenomenon demonstrate time passing at a different rate compared to the rest of the planet. Researchers have observed that time can either accelerate or decelerate within these zones, leading to localized time loops or temporal distortions.
Echo Stones
Scattered across Winovin 1's surface are peculiar formations known as "Echo Stones." These stones emit haunting sounds when struck, creating an otherworldly symphony across the landscape. Each stone produces a distinct musical note, and when multiple stones are struck, they harmonize in a melodious, ethereal chorus. The origin of these stones and their unique acoustic properties remains a mystery to scientists and has led to folklore among space travelers, attributing the sounds to the whispers of the ancient alien civilization that may have once inhabited the planet.

Asteroid Belt

Orbiting at a mean distance of 8.01 AU from Winovin with a mean depth of 15,000 km (+/- 450 km). The asteroids themselves are composed mostly of various metallic ores, mostly iron with some magnesium and aluminum.

Spatial Anomalies

Interspersed among the metallic asteroids are patches of space where the laws of physics seem to behave erratically. These spatial anomalies create distorted regions, causing asteroids to appear to change position or size when viewed from different angles. Some of these regions even exhibit a bizarre form of gravitational lensing, distorting light and making distant stars seem closer or brighter than they actually are.

Navigating through the Spatial Anomalies can be disorienting, as they create optical illusions and alter the perception of distance and direction. Space travelers often report feeling a sense of unease when passing through these regions, leading to rumors of ghost ships and unexplained phenomena in the asteroid belt. Scientists remain baffled by the origins and mechanisms behind these Spatial Anomalies.

Winovin 2

Class: P
Distance: 15.46 AU
Period: 37.93 Years
Radius: 7,547 km (1.18 times Earth)
Gravity: 1.20 G

Winovin 2 is a frozen world situated well outside the ecosphere of the system. Its entire surface is blanketed by thick ice, while its tenuous atmosphere primarily consists of oxygen and argon. Surprisingly, despite its remote location, the planet boasts a generous atmosphere akin to Earth's, with an average temperature of -102°C and a pressure of 932.86 kPa. Winovin 2's composition mainly comprises nickel, iron, and aluminum. Curiously, similar to its smaller counterpart Winovin 1, there are intriguing traces of a past alien civilization that may have colonized the planet. However, as of now, there are no active signs of inhabitants or ongoing habitation.

Unique Features

Auroral Ice Storms
Winovin 2 experiences auroral ice storms that emanate captivating luminosity across its frozen skies. These awe-inspiring celestial light displays are a result of the interaction between the planet's upper atmosphere and the solar winds from the system's binary stars. Charged particles carried by the solar winds excite the atmospheric gases, generating a mesmerizing play of shifting hues in greens, blues, and purples, gracefully dancing along the horizon. The captivating brilliance of these auroral ice storms has garnered interest among space tourists and scientific researchers, positioning Winovin 2 as an alluring destination to witness this striking natural phenomenon.
Ice Monoliths
Winovin 2 features an extraordinary display of Ice Monoliths, forming spontaneously during intense storms. These remarkable structures seem to materialize almost spontaneously, as if emerging from thin air. Within an astonishingly short span of time, ice and other frozen particles from the planet's atmosphere converge and coalesce on the surface, giving rise to towering monoliths reaching heights of nearly 500 meters. The formation process unfolds amidst a chaotic maelstrom, contributing to the enigmatic nature of these icy giants. Their rapid emergence and towering stature make the Ice Monoliths a fascinating subject for scientific investigation, as researchers seek to comprehend the underlying mechanisms behind this intriguing phenomenon.
Cryogenic Fossils
Winovin 2's harsh sub-zero environment and distinctive geological conditions have engendered the compelling preservation of ancient alien fauna known as "cryogenic fossils." These remarkable fossils represent the remains of long-extinct extraterrestrial creatures that once roamed the planet's icy surface. Encased in ice over countless millennia, these cryogenic fossils offer a portal into the planet's ancient biodiversity and the intriguing existence of past alien life forms. Each discovery ignites conjecture about Winovin 2's evolutionary history, sparking debates among researchers about potential interactions between these alien beings and the elusive ancient civilization that potentially inhabited the planet.

Winovin 3

Class: C
Distance: 29.08 AU
Period: 97.87 Years
Radius: 3,836.55 km (0.60 of Earth)
Gravity: 0.19 G

Winovin 3 predominantly consists of surface ice and frozen hydrocarbons overlaying a core composed of anthracite and basalt. The planet notably lacks a discernible atmosphere, rendering its surface void of any significant gaseous composition. Consequently, Winovin 3's surface exhibits extensive pitting and cratering, attributed to the accumulation of impact scars over time. With an average surface temperature of -134 degrees Celsius, the absence of atmospheric insulation contributes to its frigid and inhospitable environment.

Unique Features

Magnetic Anomalies
Winovin 3 exhibits sporadic magnetic anomalies across its surface. These peculiar regions display significant variations in magnetic field strength, which cannot be attributed to the planet's core alone. Scientists remain puzzled by the origins of these magnetic anomalies, as they defy conventional planetary magnetic field models.
Icy Chasms
The planet features a network of deep, icy chasms that snake across its surface. These chasms, some stretching for hundreds of kilometers, are believed to be the result of ancient tectonic activity or the sublimation of subsurface ice.

Winovin 4

Class: I
Distance: 58.41 AU
Period: 278.53 Years
Radius: 22,779.48 km
Gravity: 1.37 G

A typical ice world in composition; small rocky core covered in layers of methane, ammonia, and ice. The thick atmosphere of hydrogen and helium is prone to ionizing electrical storms throughout which are so large they can be seen from space.

Winovin 5

Class: I
Distance: 110.84 AU
Period: 527.54 Years
Radius: 32,841.90 km
Gravity: 1.91 G

The largest plane tin the system, atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium at high altitudes with short-chain hydrocarbons at lower altitudes. Surface pressure higher than average for a Class I world and an unusually large core composed mostly of iron and magnesium. The surface contains very little actual water but high pressure and low temperature combine to give the surface seas of liquid methane.
