03 – Zebulon System Brief

STAR: Zebulon Prime

Zebulon Prime (Z-Prime) is a F-class main sequence star that is in an unusual system containing a number of asteroid belts and five major planets. The entire system appears to have been influenced by the gravitational capture of Star’s Hope sometime in the distant past.

ORBITAL BODIES

PLANET: ZEBULON I

Closest world to Z-Prime, it is a hot desolate world.  

PLANET: ANKER (ZEBULON II)

Anker is a hot world, close to Zebulon; however, it has a nitrogen containing atmosphere and fits a number of terraforming criteria laid out by GodCo.

PLANET: VOLTURNUS (ZEBULON III)

Volturnus (Zebulon II) is a habitable planet with infrared signatures of nitrogen, oxygen, water, and water vapor in the atmosphere.

ASTEROID BELT:  TIBER BELT

This asteroid belt appears to have been generated by gravitational collapse of a planet in the Zebulon system when Star’s Hope was captured. A number of these asteroid belts are dense enough to be a problem for interstellar flight. All incoming vessels are suggested to enter the system between outside the Gateway Belt.

PLANET: STAR’S HOPE (ZEBULON IV)

Star’s Hope is a massive gas giant that is very close to the mass of a brown dwarf. The orbit of Star’s Hope is in the opposite direction of all other objects in the system, suggesting that it is a captured.

ASTEROID BELT: GATEWAY BELT

This asteroid belt also appears to have been generated by gravitational collapse of planets in the Zebulon system when Star’s Hope was captured. A number of these asteroid belts are dense enough to be a problem for interstellar flight. All incoming vessels are suggested to enter the system between outside the Gateway Belt.

PLANET: ZEBULON V

Zebulon V is an ice planet that may have been formed by a number of Kuiper belt objects.
