Salah Prime

Class:	M
Distance:	9.06 x 10⁷ (0.61 AU
Period:	Unknown
Radius:	Unknown
Gravity:	Unknown

|period=147.1 Days |radius=6,772.75 km (1.06 times Earth) |gravity=1.08 G }} Salah Prime is an idyllic terrestrial world with 70% of the surface covered by water and 18% covered in ice, mostly at the poles. It has a standard iron/silicate composition with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere common to M-Class worlds. The planet is tilted by 23.78 degrees off its axis giving it normal seasons. Surface temperates are mostly temperate and standard for an M-Class planet. Surveys have found that the planet has a number of unique prokaryotic microbes native to its biosphere with normal varieties of plant and animal life also native to its biosphere. No intelligent life evolved and the world is ideal for colonization.

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 which 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 have 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, 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:	Unknown
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 and 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 making extraction operations for the hydrogen and helium gasses easier.

+Salah Prime is an idyllic terrestrial world with 70% of the surface covered by water and 18% covered in ice, mostly at the poles.  It has a standard iron/silicate composition with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere common to M-Class worlds.  The planet is tilted by 23.78 degrees off its axis giving it normal seasons.  Surface temperates are mostly temperate and standard for an M-Class planet.  Surveys have found that the planet has a number of unique prokaryotic microbes native to its biosphere with normal varieties of plant and animal life also native to its biosphere.  No intelligent life evolved and the world is ideal for colonization.
-A largely unexplored star system in the same general region of space as the [[Schatten Star System]].  The system has 10 planets, only one of which has been properly named other than the standard system designation.  The fourth planet in the star system is named Rasalgethi, not to be confused with the star system which has the same name.  The system has been visited a number of times by probes but has never been visited by a manned exploration vessel though it is possible private vessels have visited the system perviously there is no record of such.

-The star itself is a standard K-type spectral classification double-star system with an orange-red color overall.  The primary being that of Salah A (or HIP 97839) with it's partner being classified as Salah B, a much smaller companion star.

-In addition to 10 planets the system has 2 asteroid belts, one inner just between the 2nd and 3rd planets and one outer just after the 8th planet.
