Type: M6V Red Dwarf
Radius: 2.51 x 105 km (0.36 of Sol)
Mass: 4.35 x 1029 kg (0.22 of Sol)
Temperature: 2400 K
Luminosity: 1.48 x 1024 W (0.0003 of Sol)
Ecosphere:Between 0.045 and 0.124 AU
Location: Ataraddon Sector
1.1 ly from the Winovin Star System
2.2 ly from the Las Miranonine Sector

A small and cool star with only 2 small planets. As a star system it is relatively unremarkable, neither planet is capable of supporting life and the star itself is too cool to make either a good candidate for terraforming.

Sotaleko Prime

Class: P
Distance: 1.66 x 107 km (0.11 AU)
Period: 2.88 Days
Radius: 7.298.05 km (1.15 of Earth)
Gravity: 1.22 G

A frozen world, covered in glaciers but still geologically active. Volcanic activity is common, as are small tectonic shifts. Volcanic outgassing helps keep this world's atmosphere warm enough so the world does not freeze altogether. Still, the surface is covered in thick permanent glaciers heavy in frozen hydrocarbons. The atmosphere is thick and composed mostly of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.

Sotaleko 2

Class: P
Distance: 3.10 x 107 km (0.21 AU)
Period: 74.58 Days
Radius: 7,971.17 km (1.25 times Earth)
Gravity: 1.24 G

A barren and gold world with a thin atmosphere mostly composed of hydrocarbons and oxygen. The surface is composed of thick layers of frozen methane and ammonia with some layers of ice. Very little geological activity exists here, it is too far out from the cool star to have enough heat to generate a thicker atmosphere. Impact craters across the entire surface show this world has been hit many times sending streamers of sublimated gasses until the surface again cools and they freeze again.
