As a follow-up to the most recent episode of the Pioneer, here's a layout of captain Cobenino's home planetary system. The planet of Heddis is not actually a planet, but a large terrestrial moon of the "ice giant" Fata, a planet larger than Neptune, but smaller than the gas giant Saturn. Fata has seven large moons, of which Heddis is the 6th. Some fun facts about this system:
- Fata's fabulous rings are theorised to be a long lost 8th moon of this system.
- Garaëla's atmosphere is very thick. The Hedseons had great trouble landing a probe there, as it would often burn up in the atmosphere.
- Jenti's atmospheric pressure is high enough that you can walk around without a space suit there. You'd still need to carry your own air, though, because the atmosphere isn't breathable.
- Heddis and Dolix don't like in the same ecliptic as the other moons, suggesting that these worlds were caught by Fata at some point in history.
- Dolix is the only moon in the Fata system that's going in a retrograde orbit.
- Fata orbits the larger star of a double star system. The larger of the two stars is a yellow dwarf like the sun. Around it, at a distance of 1.2 billion kilometers, orbits a much smaller red dwarf. This red dwarf can be seen as a bright red star in the sky, sometimes (dimly) visible during the day, but wouldn't light up the nights, much less than moonlight would
