Type: | M1V Red Dwarf |
Radius: | 2.70 x 105 km (0.39 of Sol) |
Mass: | 5.46 x 1029 kg (0.27 of Sol) |
Temperature: | 3200 K |
Luminosity: | 5.45 x 1024 W (0.01 of Sol) |
Location: | Tau Majestius Sector 3 ly from the Beeria Sector |
Anararus Belt
An asteroid belt orbiting Gamma Ovalos at a distance of just 2.55 x 107 km or 0.17 AU, this dense asteroid field has a mean depth of 15,000 km varying +/- 200 km. It is composed of mostly igneous silica and basalt, possible the remnant of a planetary collision.
Gamma Ovalos Prime
Class: | P4 |
Distance: | 4.65 x 107 (0.31 AU) |
Period: | 120.4 Days |
Radius: | 9,168.86 km (1.44 times Earth) |
Gravity: | 1.36 G |
An unusual world, much larger than most worlds of this type. It has a typical composition for most Class P worlds other than a higher than average content of heavy / transuranic metals. Due to its gravity the planet has a fairly thick atmosphere composed of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide with a surface entirely covered in a thick layer of ice. The atmosphere is able to trap most of what solar heat the planet is exposed to and the core is quite active. A layer of liquid water exists over most of the surface 1-3 miles beneath the surface ice where a wide variety of bioluminescent bacteria have evolved.
Dravevis Belt
A spare asteroid belt circling at a mean distance of 9.50 x 107 km or 0.63 AU from Gamma Ovalos, composed mostly of common ores (iron, magnesium, and chromium ores). It has an average depth of 12,000 km but varies widely by +/- 2,700 km.
Gamma Ovalos 3
Class: | V |
Distance: | 1.16 AU |
Period: | 2.4 Years |
Radius: | 11,680.80 km (1.83 times Earth) |
Gravity: | 2.45 G |
Gamma Ovalos 3 is a very large terrestrial world with a thick atmosphere which traps volcanic heat to maintain a rather high surface temperature while the planet's gravity maintains extremely high pressure at the surface. Orbiting is a larger moon, which is Class P.
Gamma Ovalos 3 Moon
Class: | P2 |
Distance: | 6.92 x 105 km |
Period: | 1.34 Days |
Radius: | Unknown |
Gravity: | 0.7 G |
Larger than most moons, this is a Class P moon composed of iron, aluminum, and some rare-earth metals. It is completely glaciated with frozen small-chain hydrocarbons and ice. Evidence suggests that a civilization may have one inhabited this world through he use of pressure domes and alien artifacts likely exist on the surface. Wreckage of a crashed starship exist on this world, suggesting a survey ship may have been caught in the atmosphere and crashed. Intense electromagnetic storms are common on the surface with high velocity winds and sudden microbursts.
Gamma Ovalos 4
Class: | I |
Distance: | 2.08 AU |
Period: | 5.72 Years |
Radius: | 16,617 km |
Gravity: | 0.93 G |
A somewhat small Class I world. A small rocky core with layers of frozen hydrocarbons / ice. The atmosphere is composed of mostly helium and hydrogen. There is a unique imbalance in the atmosphere compared to most Class I worlds, there is far more helium than hydrogen in the atmosphere than one would expect. The crushed hull of a small starship can be detected crashed on the rocky core.
