The Taijituan System

[Myroria]

By Wednesday. And we still have not come to a consensus about the borders, so those stay off for this update.

[Latia Nova]

So, whats with the wierd ring shadow on Taijitu C?

Pic:

Hope it's bright enough.

[Myroria]

Yeah, it was because I programmed the rings wrong. In the latest update it's all fixed.

[Gulliver]

I also believe that our planets lack that all important thing: names 

Now, I'm pretty sure that "Taijitu E" is going to be "Taijitu"

[Khem]

i am in favor of political borders.

[Simple]

i am in favor of political borders

[Daimiaen]

I am in favour of political borders....

I just dowloaded it and celestia....it's so pretty and shiny.....makes me want to start a proper space program for Daimiaena

[Myroria]

Pragmia, they have names in this update. By order from closest to the star to the farthest:

Daedalus (star)
Althea
Calypso
Orestes
Taijitu
Prometheus
Persephone
Nemesis
Polyhymnia
Herakles
Epimetheus (outer body/asteroid)
Encedalus (outer body/asteroid)
Cers (outer body/asteroid)
Helios (spacecraft)

A quick fact about each planet:

Althea is the closest planet to the star. It is Taijitu's version of Mercury, except it has active volcanoes and is much more volatile. The only reason it hasn't been ripped apart by Daedalus' gravity is because it is a large planet; larger than Jupiter in fact.

Calypso is the second closest planet to Daedalus. It is our version of Saturn, except the rings aren't as spectacular as the latter's. It is also very hot, hotter than Venus, but not as hot as Althea.

Orestes is the Earth of the Taijituan System. At least, it was until the sapient beings allowed their ambitions to run wild, causing the planet's oceans to dry up and the planet to become uninhabitable some time as intelligent life was forming on Taijitu. Yes, I'm assuming that we once weren't the only intelligent beings in this solar system. Orestes is our version of Atlantis. THE ORESTIAN CIVILIZATION IS DEAD, THEY WILL HAVE NO PART IN ANY RP, NOW OR FUTURE.

Taijitu is the second chance space gave this system for life. It is colder then Earth overall, but still habitable. It is currently the only place known in the universe to support life.

Prometheus is the "Forgotten Planet". It is the second gas giant in this system; a light green color. It is calm for a gas giant; little is known about it's functions or the mysterious absence of many atmospheric storms.

Persephone is the largest gas giant known. This thing is INSANELY huge. If it wasn't for Persephone, comets that drifted from the Oort Cloud would never have been caught by it's gravity and sent into the inner solar system, providing needed water. Persephone is the bringer of life.

Nemesis is the Pluto of our system. It is covered in a thick layer of ice, but it is not known at this time if it is water or land underneath it. Myroria's Celestial Orbiter sent there hopes to reveal more questions about its surface.

Polyhymnia is a strange planet overall. It is covered with impact craters and is the first planet to reach into the double digits of the Kelvin scale, but it has a thin atmosphere made up of mostly methane. It is only 2,000 kilometers in circumference.

Herakles is the coldest planet. At only 73 Kelvin, it is the least survivable planet. Nothing is really known about it.

[Feniexia]

I want a space station too:

"Illumina XIII" - Feniexias space station. Feniexia is building and testing new kinds of Space Ships and other space tech there, and on it, there´s a big telescope to look into deeper space...

It is built on a little asteroide orbiting Herakles.

DIT: Please, I want Heracles, not Polyhymna. Thank you.

[Myroria]

That's a little unrealistic. Not to mention damaging to an astronaut's psyche by not seeing their home planet for months on end.

[Feniexia]

Hmm...yes, they might get a bit claustrophobic up there, but the Feniexians up there are the best trained military people and scientists who can be found in Feniexia and they surely can stand this.

Unrealistic? I don´t think so - a moon is also not much more than a asteroide and it can be colonized. And you are space colonizing too. Plus, it´s just some kind of combination of a space station, a huge telescope, a spacecraft testing area, a space craft shipyard and a research station. NASA could build something like that too.

[Myroria]

Fine, but keep in mind that if an accident happens it would take years to get there and that they might be depressed of seeing nothing but a blue dot for their home.
And the update will come later today; I'm just gonna let it upload while I go out to eat tonight, it'll take probably 10-15 minutes to upload, and it'll be in separate parts.

[Feniexia]

Yes. That´s why they´re equipped for almost all kinds of accidents. Oh, and all five years, a space shuttle bring them some new equipment. Maybe I start a RP thread soon for this station.

[St Oz]

Many things go wrong during missions, Plus even being trained many astronauts feel that feeling when they're up in space for a long time. On an astroid they will be out of contact many times, not to mention you have to have enough food up there, they're moving at rapid speeds, solar storms, space debris collisions, and even your astroid getting caught onto another planet's gravity and having that space station get eaten up by a planet. A waste of money, people, and resources. Even if it was future people wouldn't even do it.

[Myroria]

Ok, the update will come tomorrow, I PROMISE. Unless my laptop goes to sleep while uploading it. But hopefully it won't take that long.
