Sol System
What Is This Place?
The Sol System is one of many planetary systems located in Stellar Cluster AX and the one we reside in. It consists of the Sun, the nine planets and their moons, dwarf planets, several asteroids, meteors and comets and other small bodies. The areas not occupied by these are empty space.
Sol
Commonly referred to as the Sun, Sol stands as the singular star at the heart of the Sol System. Its immense gravitational pull ensures that all celestial bodies—including planets, asteroids, comets, and fragments of space debris—remain in orbit around it, establishing a dynamic system where everything revolves around Sol. A significant portion of its energy is captured through Dyson spheres and repurposed to energize megastructures, urban centers, and a wide array of advanced technologies.Click the image to read about this star
The Planets
Explore each of its nine planets, each more fascinating than the last!The first planet from Sol. Hermani is a fascinating world marked by extreme temperatures and a rocky, barren surface. With an atmosphere too weak to adequately retain heat, it experiences scorching days and frigid nights. Its swift orbit and distinctive features, mainly its bright yellow and navy blue colourings, make Hermani a captivating subject for several nearby space tourists.Click the image to read about this planet
The second planet from Sol. Ignitius is often called Auxul’s twin due to its similar size and composition. However, its extremely thick atmosphere (it has the thickest in the Sol System!) traps an ungodly amount of heat, creating surface temperatures hot enough to melt titanium. With its beautiful, bright, swirling lava-like appearance, Ignitius is an object of fascination for many space tourists and remains prominent in our night sky.Click the image to read about this planet
Our home planet and the third from Sol. It is a vibrant oasis in the cosmos, featuring deep purple oceans and lush dark green land. Auxul boasts diverse ecosystems, majestic landscapes, and a rich variety of life. With its unique atmosphere and abundant resources, Auxul serves as a nurturing home for millions of species, including humans, and stands as a hub of technological advancements.Click the image to read about this planet
The fourth planet from Sol. On the vibrant jungle planet of Chron, towering bioluminescent forests and crystal-clear lakes flourish under a gentle sun. Once inhospitable, centuries of advanced terraforming has created thriving ecosystems, allowing humans to establish harmonious communities. With rich resources and breathtaking landscapes, Chron has become a second home for billions of people and species.Click the image to read about this planet
The fifth planet from Sol. Aetheu stands as the largest in our Sol System, captivating observers with its breathtaking display of vibrant swirls and the iconic Great Blue Spot, a colossal storm. Its immense gaseous composition serves as an exceptional fuel source for specialized spacecraft and space infrastructure, making it a crucial asset for exploration and innovation.Click the image to read about this planet
The seventh planet from Sol and second-largest in the Sol System. Zepyth is a beautiful gas giant renowned for its stunning rings made of ice and rock particles and its 83 moons, with Tritin, the largest, being the most intriguing. With its vibrant pink atmosphere and mesmerizing beauty, Zepyth is the most popular destination for space tourists who are sure to take lots of pictures!Click the image to read about this planet
The seventh planet from Sol and the third-largest. Posendi is unique for its sideways rotation, making it appear to roll along its orbit. This ice giant is primarily composed of water, ammonia, and methane. With a striking blue, green and white colour complemented with gorgeous blue and purple rings, Posendi easily takes a spot on the visiting lists of nearby space tourists.Click the image to read about this planet
The eighth planet from Sol and the fourth-largest. Kupre is a glowing dark-blue-and-purple gas giant with stunning atmospheric features. It boasts the strongest winds in the Sol System, exceeding 2000 mph. With at least 14 moons, including the intriguing Reitun, and lovely icy blue rings, Kupre remains a captivating subject for space travellers and tourists, though it is heavily discouraged to enter its atmosphere.Click the image to read about this planet
The ninth planet from Sol and the smallest. Located in the Ring of Comets, beyond Kupre, is Hadeon, a small planet boasting a complex surface with ice and rock, and its largest moon, Chiron, is nearly half its size, creating a unique gravitational relationship. Of all the planets, it's the least popular among space tourists due to its relatively dull appearance.Click the image to read about this planet

Fun Facts!
- The Sol System is around 4.5 billion years old - that's ancient - in every sense of the word! To put it into perspective, if the age of the Sol System were a year, humans would appear on Auxul just before the countdown on New Year’s Eve.
- Sol isn't yellow. Surprising, I know. It is actually white, only appearing as yellow or orange through Auxul's atmosphere due to atmospheric scattering.
- Hermani boasts the largest (silicon) deserts in the Sol System, all reaching a combined area of 18.75 million sq km (7.24 million sq mi) - that's the size of one hundred supermalls!
- Ignitius' largest volcano, Areds, erupts once every two hundred years. When it does, it spews a jet of lava so tall it can be seen for space!
- The oceans of Auxul are purple due to an abundance of high quantities of aluminum potassium sulphate and chromium potassium sulphate. This also has the side effect of creating purple crystals in shallow areas.
- Chron boasts the tallest trees in the Sol System, with the biggest being 150 ft (46 m) tall. Their height, coupled with considerably thick trunks, makes them perfect for constructing skytreehouses
- With raging, never-ending lightning storms accompanied by tumultuous winds peaking at about 1,046 kmph (650 mph), the Great Blue Spot has been swirling wildly over Aetheu’s skies for the past 350 years—maybe even much longer than that.
- Zepyth is the least dense planet in the Sol System! If all the planet was placed in a body of water large enough to house them, Zepyth would float. This occurs because the planet's gaseous composition makes it less dense that water.
- Posendi is the only planet whose equator is nearly at a right angle to its orbit, with a tilt of 97.77 degrees. Weird, right? This is the result of a collision with an Auxul-sized object that occurred millions of years ago. This unique tilt causes the icy giant to have the most extreme seasons in the Sol System. For nearly a quarter of each Posendian year, the Sun shines directly over each pole, plunging the other half of the planet into a 21-year-long, dark winter.
- Kupre is the only planet that spacecruisers are barred from entering. Why? The planet's roaring gales, which can reach mind-breaking speeds of, speeds not even our most advanced spacecruisers can adequately handle.
- Hadeon may be the smallest of the planets but it has quite a lot of moons! Charik, the largest, Jinx, Hedras, Cerberim, Tryx, the smallest, Werohn, Ohni and Farafil are its eight moons.
