Syntax System
The Syntax System has two Red Giants orbiting each other in as binary stars. An asteroid belt surrounds its first planet, and the entire system finds itself pelted by comets. However, this system is also the most promising, with a decently sized garden world in which Transhumans have colonized, an calm, oceanic world with a few steady islands, and a moon in which a megacity has been built. Here, one can find the Transhuman homeworlds: Magdalene, Lillith, and Eve.
Geography
Syntax A: Red Giant
Class M, Fuel Scoopable. Very common.Syntax A-1: Gas Giant Class I
A red clay-like color, with five off-white rings. Syntax A-1 has a primarily helium and hydrogen atmosphere, with ammonia, sulfer, and phosphine clouds in the upper atmosphere.- Magdalene: The second Transhuman homeworld, Magdalene is a water planet with calm, easy oceans and a slight chill in its breathable atmosphere. There is a lot of underwater life to this planet, although Transhumans tend to build on the few islands Magdalene has to offer.
- Syntax A-1 b: This moon has a hot, poisonous atmosphere in which anything trying to land on it burns up easily, despite all defenses.
- Syntax A-1 c: A planetoid filled with poison, nothing could live here as a result. However, it looks beautiful from space, with its dim, brown-purple color and yellow ring.
- Syntax A-1 d: Like many of the planets in the Surro Aster Cluster, the chemical atmosphere of this moon contains ammonia, sulfur, and iron particles float in a deadly mix.
- Syntax A-1 e: This is a methane moon.
- Syntax A-1 f: A crystal planet, beautiful from afar and sharp up close. Studies have shown that this planet runs hotter than other crystal planets nearby, running in similar temperatures as the Alpha Avior System's planet, Diadem. A few expedition teams, suspecting Transpicuous Crystal, have gone to investigate but haven't come back.
- Syntax A-1 g: Nothing ever lands or comes from here as the planetoid is so stormy that it disrupts any navigation system so far developed.
Syntax A-2: Swamp Planet
This planet has been slowly eating away at its own mountains, sucking them down into its own green-ish colored mud. Every five years, Cluster scientists have found, there is a little less of them, eaten away by the corrosive swamp.- Syntax A-2 a: More of a floating rock than a moon, this planetoid has nothing of value, just like its two brothers.
- Syntax A-2 b: A lifeless moon, empty and without value.
- Syntax A-2 c: An empty, small planetoid orbiting Syntax A-2 in a quick rotation.
- Syntax A-2 d: As if to make up for its brothers' lack of valuable mining material, Transpicuous Crystal grows everywhere here, nearly overtaking all of the rock and growing on the fossilized remains of what look to be trees once upon a time. Cluster scientists, instead of allowing a mining operation, have insisted a cease and desist when it was noted that living matter might have been swallowed up by the crystal.
Syntax B: Red Giant
Class M, Fuel Scoopable. Very common.Syntax B-1: Gas Giant Class II
A clear navy blue giant, with two dijon yellow rings. Its atmosphere is rich in both hydrogen and helium.- Syntax B-1 a: Like many moons orbiting gas giants, the surface of this planetoid is rocky and lifeless.
- Syntax B-1 b: Another lifeless rock caught in Syntax A-3's rotation.
- Syntax B-1 c: Syntax A-3 c is a frozen moon. However, it's soaked up heat from one of thanks to Syntax A-3's close orbit and so has half turned to slush, much like Neptune back in the Sol System.
- Lillith: An encumenopolis with a high crime rate, Lillith is the third homeworld in the Syntax System and of Transhumans. Lillith is what most Neo Terrans believe all Transhuman society is: dirty and chaotic, filled with criminals. It is also known as Syntax B-1d.
Eve: Garden World
Also known as Syntax B-2, Eve is the epitome of an Earth-like planet, exactly what Terrans were searching for back in the Sol System. Unfortunately, the Syntax System, and therefore its planets, were never discovered until scans by Transhumans were enacted. Neo Terrans ignored the possibility of scanning their surroundings in detail once the Alpha Avior System was reformed.- Syntax B-2 a: Unlike it's mother planet, this small moon is lifeless, filled with craters very much like Earth's moon back in the Sol System. However, it glows a pretty silver at night, around the same amount of light as Luna. It's nicknamed Serena.
"Earth's scans never went far enough to find the precious worlds out in the Syntax System. In fact, they never reached beyond the Alpha Avior System, period. I find myself wondering what would have happened if they had. Would our societies still be as split as they are now?" Heresay Gothe, The Stars Beyond
