Cronox [CRON-ox] is a S-type detached-binary star system consisting of the stars 1GD.Pa-Cordes and 1GD.Pb-Arjos. The two orbit a common barycenter at a sufficient distance for each to have its own independent planetary system. The two stars' orbital planes are at 83 degree angle from each other, which suggests that the two stars originally formed independently of each other, but began to orbit each other early in their history.
The system has numerous spacefaring societies, planets, moons and orbital structures, forming a mutual alliance called the Cronoxi Syndicateplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigCronoxi Syndicate
The Cronoxi Syndicate is political and trade alliance of various worlds and polities in the Gamma Delta quadrant. Worlds within the syndicate are sovereign and self-governing, but agree to standards of peace and liberty, open trade and mutual defence.. Of the two, Arjos is the most heavily populated and advanced, having five times the population of Cordes.
Cordes
Cordes is a G-type main sequence star with nine planets.
Nomezplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigNomez
Nomez [NOM-ez] is a heavy, dense planet orbiting closest to the sun Cordes, in the Cronox System.
Its surface is molten and constantly active, almost half of its surface being a sea of liquid sulphur and mineral salts. It has a toxic atmosphere of gaseous chlorine, bromine, sulphur, and phosphorus belched from the ever-active volcanoes, with clouds of light metals like lead and arsenic. This atmosphere is constantly eroded away by solar wind, leaving a glowing, flare-like trail in … - a glowing hot world scorched by the sun
Ahtreyplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAhtrey
Ahtrey is a small terrestrial world, second planet of the star Cordes in the Cronox System.
The surface is mottled green-brown, pocked with crater lakes and shallow, mineral-rich seas thick with mats of simple protozoa. The seas are transient, depending on season and seismic activity. - barren desert
Ra and Ratérplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigRa and Ratér
Ra (RAH) and Ratér (rah-TAIR) are mutually-orbiting binary planets in the Cronox System. The two are both marginal for human life but were settled many millennia ago. Rivalry and conflict between the two throughout their history laid the foundation for a series of accords for mutual co-operation, which was the foundation for the - terraformed binary planets, heavily populated and space-faring
Helevosplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigHelevos
Helevos (also known as Vos, or Veeos) is a temperate terrestrial world, fourth planet of the star Cordes in the Cronox binary star system. The stars Cordes and Arjos are distant binaries, so on Helevos, Arjos is only seen in the northern hemisphere as star, sometimes bright enough to be seen during the day, circling roughly over the greenAnásthiasAnásthiasgreen - a natural terrestrial world with an isolated, primitive human population
Kwato’orplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigKwato'or
Kwato’or (KWAT-oh-oor) is the six planet of Cordes in the Cronox System.
It is a gas supergiant, violent and beautiful, with titanic eternal storm systems coloured white and all shades from pale lilac to deep purple. It is a true giant, approximately 2.4 Jovian masses, so big that it causes the - super-jovian gas giant
Do'ahplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigDo'ah
Do’ah (DOE-ah) is a small, lilac-white gas giant, the eighth planet of the star Cordes in the Cronox System. It is much smaller than its huge and tempestuous brother Kwato'or (0.26 Jovian-masses).
Do'ah is most likely the only survivor of a number of medium-sized gas world that once circled Cordes, the others having been sucked into the hungry maw of Kwato’or. The planet has storm belts, but since Do'ah is relatively cool, they are simple convection storms coloured blue, red and purple… - cold gas giant
Kondrayplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigKondray
Kondray is the fifth planet of the star Cordes in the Cronox System, a massive ice world of frozen gas and dust. The surface is a crust of frozen gas and water, marked by mountains and crevasses of ice, sitting on a liquid layer warmed by pressure and gravity, surrounding a cold rocky core. - large frozen ice world
Maagahplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigMa'agah
Ma'agah (1GD.Pa9) is the ninth, outermost planet of the star Cordes in the Cronox System. It is a small, cold, dark world of rock and ice with an elliptical orbit, with the planet being pulled towards the binary star Arjos. At aphelion it is twice as far from the sun as at perihelion. - small ice world in an erratic orbit
Arjos
Arjos [ARR-yoss] is a hotter F-type star with eight planets. The Syndicate uses the following official naming conventionplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigOfficial Naming Convention
Official Naming Conventions are common interstellar agreements about the naming of stars, systems and planets. Planetary names in particular can be highly politicised, because long-established worlds may have a variety of local names used by different groups or nations, names applied to them by other planets in the same system, and yet other names applied by cultures in distant systems or by colonial powers. to reflect common and local names. For example, Arjos-1 is called Unus on Litalyoum (the capital world), but Samab locally.
Samab-Unus - small burning desert
Wirleary-Transa - Mars-sized desert with nitrogen atmosphere
Nishwimant-Esk - hot Jovian with several populated moons
Litalyoum - terrestrial waterworld
Heeist - superterrestrial desert
Volhast Maase-Onsk - icy rockworld
Srace - gas giant
Cothnic-Nos - cold gas giant
