Cronox System

Planets of the Cronox-Cordes system Terrestrial planets of Cordes, to scale Position of Cronox in Syndicate space

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 Syndicate. 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.

  1. Nomez - a glowing hot world scorched by the sun
  2. Ahtrey - barren desert
  3. Ra and Ratér - terraformed binary planets, heavily populated and space-faring
  4. 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
  5. Kwato’or - super-jovian gas giant
  6. Do'ah - cold gas giant
  7. Kondray - large frozen ice world
  8. Maagah - 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 convention to reflect common and local names. For example, Arjos-1 is called Unus on Litalyoum (the capital world), but Samab locally.

  1. Samab-Unus - small burning desert
  2. Wirleary-Transa - Mars-sized desert with nitrogen atmosphere
    • Bhunju-Lista asteroid field - many inhabited planetoids
  3. Nishwimant-Esk - hot Jovian with several populated moons
  4. Litalyoum - terrestrial waterworld
  5. Heeist - superterrestrial desert
  6. Volhast Maase-Onsk - icy rockworld
  7. Srace - gas giant
  8. Cothnic-Nos - cold gas giant
