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.
