Greater Valkyrie

Basic Details
The Greater Valkyrie star system (otherwise known as the Valkyrie System) is a quadruple star system (4 stars) arranged in two pairs of stars. Each pairing contains many planets, and the system holds many secrets and habitable planets, with many habitable planets and moons. The two pairings of stars are referred to as Alpha Valkyrie and Epsilon Valkyrie. The two pairs orbit each other at an astronomical 400AU on its semimajor axis, with an eccentricity of 0.7, meaning the two pairs at their closest approach are only 120 AU but at their furthest approach reach 680 AU. This massive cycle completes in just under 1,970,012 days, or 5,393 Earth years and 218 days approximately, which is an extremely long time for the two pairs to make their closest approach. This star system is the site of many warring factions, with everyone fighting for both land and resources. However, it should be noted that this system also has its secrets, and some lost cities of ancient technology even lurk. The age of this complex star system is abnormally young at only 3.7 billion years old.

Basic Details
The larger pair known as Alpha Valkyrie has two stars of slightly different sizes known as Alpha Valkyrie A and Alpha Valkyrie B. The two stars orbit at a close range to each other at only 5.5 AU at the semimajor axis and with an eccentricity of 0.4, giving a minimum of 3.3AU and at the furthest 7.7AU, which doesn't allow for many planets for each star, however, there is a small region within each star and outside the two stars where planets and other stellar objects orbit. The two stars orbit every 3511.55 days, or 9.61 years. These stars allow for the majority of the habitable planets and a large portion of the star system's resources and usable land are concentrated at this star pair. None of the worlds are unified, and many factions are fighting themselves on their planet as well as neighboring planets and moons. The vicious wars in the area have ruined many lives over the years, and many of these factions have advanced weapons, some which if they ever got out of the system would pose a threat to many nearby star systems as the vicious fighting has resulted in an arms race in perpetuo. Many factions only have their home planets which they are defending, making the dynamics of the system quite problematic. The stars are so close to each other that no gas giant could form around those two stars, meaning the worlds that formed around here are extremely rocky and dense.

Alpha Valkyrie A
Alpha Valkyrie A is a G4 star which is a notable life-bearing star, and has a number of orbits around the star. It is the primary star for the Alpha Valkyrie system and the largest of the four stars. It has four planets around the star within 1 AU of the star, which is prohibitive of the formation of many moons. The star is the hottest and most unstable of the four stars, having a surface temperature of 5700K and will only be able to maintain its ability to be a main-sequence star for around a total of 12 billion years, meaning this star has already expended just under a third of its main sequence phase. The star has a mass of 0.95 stellar masses.

Mercury XIX
Mercury XIX is a small rockball very close to Alpha Valkyrie A, and is the only resonant planet in the entire Valkyrie A sub-system and one of three resonant planets in the entire Valkyrie system (a resonant planet is a planet which spins 3 times every 2 years). The rockball has a small outpost, mainly for observational reasons or a minor mining sequence, controlled by [insert faction name a here]. The diameter of the planet is 6,385 miles, and has a surface gravity of .564g and a mass of .365 Earth masses, making this rockball a bit of a shocker, however, the surface temperatures on this planet are a scorching 794 degrees Fahrenheit, and with no atmosphere is a Cthinthonian world as well. The outpost was setup mainly to take close up observational studies of Alpha Valkyrie A, though a few mining operations were setup near the lighthouse outpost as well since the planet just happens to have average resources. The orbit of the star is so close with an orbit of 0.13 AU that it makes an orbit every 17.5 days and its local rotation is 11.7 days approximately. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.15, giving it a perihelion of 0.1105 AU and an aphelion of 0.1495 AU.

Cerebus XI
Cerebus XI is another world which burns, and is a greenhouse world rich in resources. It is also one of the largest rocky worlds in the system, with a diameter of 9,187 miles, a surface gravity of 1.27g, and a mass of 1.71 Earth masses, which makes this planet quite an interest for those willing to brave its super dense, suffocating, highly corrosive, and lethally toxic atmosphere. Multiple factions have mines in this planet due to the richness of the resources available, and the planet is moderately volcanic and lightly tectonic in spite of it not having any water. The planet with a semimajor axis of .29 AU happens to orbit its star every 57.79 standard days, and has a local day of around 20.25 standard days. As such, its rotation is abnormally slow, but it has day and night. The surface as a result of this is a scorching 1,840 degrees Fahrenheit and as such almost has no way to support any structure for very long without requiring cooling systems, and such systems would be required to build any structure on world. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.1, resulting in its perihelion of 0.26 AU and an aphelion of 0.32 AU.

Phobos VIII
Phobos VIII is a small rockball world with average resources under complete control of [insert faction name b here], and has been getting used as the main toxic waste site of the faction. Some mining is done here as well. The planet is totally tidelocked, and has a daytime surface temperature of 317 degrees Fahrenheit and a nighttime surface temperature of -395 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet is .49 AU from the star on its semimajor axis, having it orbit its star every 128 days. It has a diameter of 4,464 miles, a local gravity of 0.45g, and a mass of 0.14 Earth Masses. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.3, giving a perihelion of 0.34 AU and an aphelion of 0.64 AU.

Eden IX
Eden IX is the homeworld of [insert faction a], [insert faction b], [insert faction c], [insert faction d], and [insert faction e]. Although various factions are still autonomous with [insert faction d] having an antichrist and controlling [insert faction b] and [insert faction e], however, those factions have become so broke that they seem to be in revolt of the leadership and wishing to take on the systems of [insert faction a] and [insert faction c] which brought more prosperity and freedom for their people. Bloodshed on the planet has become limited, and is possible the various factions unite in the near future. As such, the technology of [insert faction a] and [insert faction c] is highly advanced from the many inventions, and are building up to a highly defensive position on the planet. Eden IX hasn't had an extraterrestrial attack for the last twenty years, partially due to the fact that the triple planet Persephone III and its two moons Atlantis III and Tyrador II have attracted nearly all of the attention at this point. Resources on the planet aren't spectacular, though ample, with a diameter of 7,947 miles, a surface gravity of 1g, and a mass of around 1 Earth mass. It has a local day of 23 hours, and three moonlets are orbiting around the planet. With a semimajor axis of 0.88 AU, orbiting the star every 309.35 standard days, and a surface temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit, this planet is amongst the most comfortable planets in the Valkyrie system. The eccentricity of the planet is extremely small of 0.05, resulting in a perihelion of 0.84 AU and an aphelion of 0.92 AU.

Alpha Valkyrie B
Alpha Valkyrie B is a G8 star which is also capable of harboring life as well, and being very similar in many aspects to Alpha Valkyrie A, though still a yellowish star, is slightly cooler, and has a surface temperature of 5400K and has a mass of 0.85 Stellar masses and will be able to continue to remain in the main-sequence phase for a total of 17 billion years. A number of planets orbit the star, and is the core of the fighting in the Valkyrie system. The war technology if allowed to escape from this star would pose a threat to the point where a Galactic militaristic empire would form very quickly. There are also two life - bearing orbits for this star as well.

Alpha Valkyrie B Solar Belt
The Solar Belt of Alpha Valkyrie B orbits extremely close to the star and is poor in resources, and with no real reason to settle here, the belt serves as a warning that you are approaching extremely close to the star. It has a semimajor axis of approximately 0.17 AU, and the asteroids no doubt would be extremely hot surface temperatures. Many asteroids are eccentric in orbit, leaving an eccentricity of 0.4, giving a perihelion of 0.11 AU and an aphelion of 0.25 AU.

Draugar XI
Draugar XI is a smaller rockball tidelocked to its star with only average resources controlled by [faction f] with a location for scientific research and mining and disposal needs. It has daytime temperatures reach a scorching 373 degrees Fahrenheit, while the nightside temperatures reach a frozen -390 degrees Fahrenheit, orbiting at a semimajor axis of .35 AU, and has a diameter of 5,028 miles, a surface gravity of 0.44g, and a mass of .18 Earth Masses. [faction f] holds this planet handily, but they originate from war - torn Persephone III. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.15, giving the perihelion of 0.30 AU and an aphelion of 0.41 AU.

Athena V
Athena V is a world of two warring factions in dead heat, between [faction g] and [faction h]. The resources being so horrendous has kept them with limited outside attacks, though they do occasionally occur over the amount of spillover wars from Persephone III. With an apparent day of 30 hours it has a slightly longer than normal day, and temperatures at this tropical world on the surface are at an average of 99 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gravity of nearly that of 1g, given a mass of 1.09 Earths and a diameter of 8,158 miles. This planet does not have any natural satellites. The planet orbits at a distance of 0.57 AU on the semimajor axis from Alpha Valkyrie B. This planet has an eccentricity of 0.1, leaving a perihelion of 0.51 AU and a perihelion of 0.62 AU.

Persephone III
Persephone III is the largest terrestrial object in the Greater Valkyrie system, with a diameter of 9,933 miles and a mass of 1.57 Earth masses, resulting in the surface gravity being 1g. It has a very thin atmosphere layer though its able to maintain a suitable pressure from the sheer size of the world. This world has a surface temperature of -53 degrees Fahrenheit, though in spite of such chilly conditions, twelve major factions are fighting for control over this large world, with no end in sight. The wars here are so ugly that they will attack other worlds on occasion. [Faction i], [faction j], [faction k], [faction l], [faction m], [faction n], [faction o], [faction p], [faction q], [faction r], [faction s], and [faction t] are all vying for control over this planet, and each of them have advanced technology to wage a terrible war on the surface of the planet. The planet orbits at a distance of 0.85 AU on the semimajor axis from Alpha Valkyrie B. Persephone III is technically in a triple planet system as two major moons of nearly identical size orbit this planet, which are Atlantis III and Tyrador II. There are also two moonlets that orbit Persephone III, meaning that two moons and three planets form this complex system. Persephone III has poor resources compared to its two smaller neighbors, in spite of the fact the planet is highly volcanic and extremely tectonic. The planetary system has an eccentricity of 0.15, giving a perihelion of 0.72 AU and an aphelion of 0.98 AU.

Atlantis III
Atlantis III is a large planet orbiting with Persephone III, orbiting at a distance of 297,994 miles away from Persephone III, and has a radius of 7,883 miles and is tidally locked to its parent planet, though it does make an orbit around the planet every six days. Being so close to Persephone III, its naturally part of the wars that go on in that system. No planet in that area has had respite since the War of the Omniscient Star began some two millennia ago. Atlantis III is the richest planet of the three in resources. The planet is also highly tectonic and volcanic, though its tectonics are not to the extent of that of Persephone III, and has a mass of .98 Earth Masses and a surface gravity of 0.99g. Atlantis III has an average surface temperature of -2 degrees Fahrenheit, and is to a large extent earth-like.

Tyrador II
Tyrador II is a planet orbiting with Persephone III, orbiting at a distance of 223,495 miles away from the main planet, and is tidally locked with a radius of 7,633 miles. It has a mass of .89 Earth Masses and a surface gravity of .96g. With moderate resources between the three planets, and being the least volcanic and tectonic between the three, its position in the War of the Omniscient Star is quite vital as it provides the most secure locations, and as such is the most war torn of the three planets. The planet is also tidally locked to Persephone III, and orbits that planet in a matter of four days. Due to blind greed of many of the factions, only [faction k], [faction o], and [faction t] remain on this planet vying for control, though random ambushes from other factions are still regular. Tyrador II has a surfacce temperature of 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet is also highly earth-like.

Alpha Valkyrie - Eris Shroud
This area of Alpha Valkyrie is where the final two orbits of the star system occur, where the two orbits orbit both Alpha Valkyrie A and Alpha Valkyrie B. These orbits are also quite far away from both stars, in excess of 20 AU, and as such, are quite frigid locations for any planet. [Faction m] has complete control of this location, and this area is not a major location for most factions to try to have control of. The Eris Shroud has not seen an invasion attempt for at least three centuries. The outer shroud of Alpha Valkyrie is home to the namesake planet Eris V and the Alpha Valkyrie Eris Belt (AV - Eris Belt).

Eris V
Eris V is the hadean planet in the Alpha Valkyrie - Eris shroud. Being the only planet this far back it has no atmosphere and a freezing surface temperature of an astonishing -397 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a day of 24 hours, and takes an astonishing 93 years for the planet to make a full orbit around both stars with a semimajor axis of 25 AU. It has a mass of only .13 Earth Masses and a diameter of 5,095 miles, giving it a surface gravity of 0.32g. Eris V is under complete control of [faction m], who have entrenched themselves quite deep into the planet, and have been able to shift most of their critical resources over as it is becoming clear that they will lose badly in the War of the Omniscient Star over in the Persephone III system. Eris V has two moons, and both are of considerable scope, being Poltergeist IV and the unsettled moon with the designation AVEV-2-327. [Faction m] has not contest as to control of this planet or its moons and the belt that lies beyond this planet. The planet has a low eccentricity of 0.05, giving it a perihelion of 24 AU and an aphelion of 26 AU.

AVEV-2-327
AVEV-2-327 is an unsettled moon under the control of [faction m] that orbits the planet Eris V. This frozen moon has poor resources, and is as a result beyond the fact that a lot of waste is often dumped here no outpost really exists on this moon. It has a mass of .005 Earth masses and a diameter of 1,698 miles, giving it a low surface gravity of .11g. It has a warmer surface temperature than its mother planet with a temperature of -380 degrees Fahrenheit. It orbits the planet Eris V at a radius of 140,108 miles every 23 days, and the moon is tidally locked to the planet.

Poltergeist IV
Poltergeist IV is the settled moon around Eris V under the control of [faction m] and has moderate resources for its small size. It has a mass of .007 Earth masses and a diameter of 2,080 miles, giving it a surface gravity of 0.10g. Its frozen landscape has a surface temperature of -380 degrees Fahrenheit, and orbits the planet Eris V at a radius of 101,897 miles every fortnight, and is tidally locked to the planet. Poltergeist IV is a major research center of [faction m].

Alpha Valkyrie Eris Belt (AV - Eris Belt)
This frigid asteroid belt has ample resources and is under complete control of [faction m]. It orbits the Alpha Valkyrie binary star system at a semimajor axis of 35 AU, making it extremely frigid even for a rocky body. The resources here makes the primary mining location of [faction m]. The asteroid belt in this portion of the system are considerably stable with little eccentricity of 0.05, giving a perihelion of 33 AU and an aphelion of 37 AU.

Basic Details
Epsilon Valkyrie is the binary star pairing consisting of two red stars of around 0.2 stellar masses each, making both stars M5 stars. These stars will burn for a very long time, even after both stars of Alpha Valkyrie fade away. Epsilon Valkyrie has a stark contrast to their alpha components in that these stars are much cooler and dominated by gas giants, and both have gas giants in the epistellar position (gas giant in the first orbit very close to a star). With gas giants being dominant, it is difficult for any rocky body to form except around the gas giants. Many gas giants have considerable ring systems, and some can even be spotted with a poor telescope. There are also many more bodies around each star. The two stars are 3200K and orbiting each other at 24AU, and in such a perfect orbit around each other, do not interfere with the body of each other nor the Alpha Valkyrie System and have no eccentricity to their orbit.

Epsilon Valkyrie A
Epsilon Valkyrie A is one of two M5 stars making the Epsilon Valkyrie System. Its notable in that every planet in this system is a gas giant. Many of them have moons, though a few have absolutely no moons. The planets are also in an eccentric orbit, possibly having either ejected or captured every rocky body in the system.

EVA-01037
EVA-01037 is the closest planet to any star in the system, with an orbit of just 0.01 AU, which results in this hellish planet being a Hot Jupiter. The tide-locked planet makes a single orbit around its star every nineteen and a half hours, and its cloudtop temperatures reach a scorching 1,033 degrees Fahrenheit, temperatures so hot that molecules barely stay together. There are no moons around this dangerous planet to even be near, and as such it does not have any rings. The planet has a diameter of 73,291 miles. There is attempts to name this strange planet in this system to be noted as Icarus-XII, but paperwork is still in progress, and is slow since this planet is more of an anomaly than practical to deal with. This gas giant could be considered an epistellar gas giant without any moons. The planet also happens to be in retrograde direction as well. Its close orbit places its eccentricity of 0.05, giving a perihelion of 0.0095 AU and an aphelion of 0.0105 AU.

EVA-02058
EVA-02058 is a gas giant somewhat close to its star at 0.16 AU, though with the planet being a lot further away is nowhere near the threshold of being at risk of being burned alive. Also devoid of moons, it has a day of just over 12 hours and orbits its star every 52 standard days. There are no rings around this planet and has no moons either. The cloudtop temperature of the system is -87 degrees Fahrenheit and has a diameter of 95,089 miles. Its relatively close orbit results in this planet also being held close to its semimajor axis at most times with an eccentricity of 0.1, giving a perihelion of 0.14 AU and am aphelion of 0.18 AU.

EVA-04074
EVA-04074 is a gas giant with five moonlets with faint rings at an orbital distance of 0.58 AU with a cloudtop temperature of -263 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet has a day of 13 hours and makes an orbit every 356 standard days, and has a diameter of 85,423 miles. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.15, resulting in a perihelion of 0.49 AU and an aphelion of 0.66 AU.

EVA-05067
EVA-05067 is a gas giant with five major moons and three moonlets orbiting at a distance of 0.98 AU giving this neptune like planet a cloudtop temperature of -308 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet has very faint rings, has a day of 13 hours, and makes an orbit every 791 days, with a diameter of 49,179 miles. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.15, resulting in a perihelion of 0.83 AU and an aphelion of 1.13 AU.

Zeus VII
Zeus VII is a minor outpost of [faction t] and is a tiny ice moon. This outpost was most likely set up as a research outpost to uncover the origins of Epsilon Valkyrie A as its the only rocky planet at close distance to the others and the others around EVA-05067 were less desirable. Some mining is done off to the side of this tiny moon, with a surface temperature of -330 degrees Fahrenheit and an orbit of just under 12 hours around the planet it isn't too much of a surprise that this moon is highly undesirable. It has a diameter of 1,747 miles and orbits its parent planet at a distance of 306,417 miles. The moon is tide-locked to the planet.

Neptune IV
Neptune IV is a considerable outpost and minor outlying colony of [faction c], with this moon being abnormally large than the other moons in this system. The moon is large enough to hold an atmosphere of Nitrogen and Methane, and is one of the coldest rocky bodies with an atmosphere, given its extremely low surface temperature of -311 degrees Fahrenheit. It orbits its parent planet at an orbit of 398,342 miles and has a day of around 17 hours with a diameter of 3,103 miles. The planet is 60% liquid over its surface. This colony has a few cities within its surface, but no reports of the ground situation on the planet has been recovered, and is tide-locked to the planet

EVA-05319
EVA-05319 is the sulfur moon of EVA-05067 and is not inhabited by anyone due to its volcanic nature. It orbits the planet at a distance of 153,208 miles with a surface temperature of -344 degrees Fahrenheit with a diameter of 1,542 miles. It is tide-locked to the planet, and has few resources, and makes an orbit every four hours.

EVA-05218
EVA-05218 is a tiny ice moon of EVA-05067 and is uninhabited by anyone as the planet has nothing going for it. It orbits the planet every six hours at a distance of 199,171 miles and has a diameter of 2,643 miles with a surface temperature of -330 degrees Fahrenheit, and the planet is tide-locked.

EVA-05423
EVA-05423 is the smallest moon of EVA-05067 and is also uninhabited. It orbits its parent planet every 14 and a half hours at a distance of 352,379 miles, and has a diameter of a mere 925 miles with surface temperatures of -330 degrees Fahrenheit, and is tide-locked.

EVA-06098
EVA-06098 is a gas giant with just one major moon but with 11 moonlets, arrange 6 on the inside giving the planet faint rings and 5 on its outer points. The planet has a diameter of 52,737 miles and a cloudtop temperature of -344 degrees Fahrenheit, and has a day of 15 hours. It orbits Epsilon Valkyrie A at a distance of 1.66 AU every 1,753 days. This planet has an eccentricity of 0.05, very little for the setup of the star system, and as such has a perihelion of 1.58 AU and an aphelion of 1.75 AU.

Venus IX
Venus IX is the sole major moon of EVA-06098, and is hadean in nature given its surface temperatures of -383 degrees Fahrenheit and a diameter of 2,909 miles. It orbits its parent planet every 11 hours and is tide-locked at a distance of 764,683 miles, though its ample resources manages to make this a notable mining colony of [faction e].

EVA-07064
EVA-07064 is a gas giant with three major moons and six moonlets arrange one on the fringes beyond the major moons and five moonlets very close to the planet, giving the planet faint rings. It orbits its star at a distance of 2.83 AU every 3,887 days and has a local day of 14 hours. The planet has a diameter of 42,861 miles and a cloudtop temperature of -371 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.2, giving a perihelion of 2.26 AU and an aphelion of 3.40 AU.

Osiris IX
Osiris IX is the smallest moon of EVA-07064 and is an outpost for [faction o]. The outpost is likely a small study location given that the planet has a diameter of only 439 miles and has surface temperatures which plunge to -384 degrees Fahrenheit. It is tide-locked to its planet and orbits the planet in under eight hours at a distance of 407,180 miles.

EVA-07261
EVA-07261 is a moon of EVA-07064 with a diameter of 1,492 miles, surface temperatures of -384 degrees Fahrenheit, has an orbit around the planet at a distance of 300,027 miles, and makes the orbit every five hours and is tide-locked. The moon is uninhabited.

EVA-07362
EVA-07362 is the largest moon of EVA-07064 with a diameter of 2,939 miles. The moon is tide-locked to its planet, and it makes a rotation around the planet every ten hours. It orbits its planet at a distance of 471,471 miles. This moon is amongst the coldest objects in the Vaklyrie system, with surface temperatures plunging to -401 degrees Fahrenheit.

EVA-08016
EVA-08016 is a gas giant of Epsilon Valkyrie A. This gas giant has a diameter of 30,637 miles, and in spite of its short diameter it has 14 moonlets arranged 3 beyond its sole major moon and 11 within the orbit of its major moon, giving this small gas giant the most spectacular rings in the Valkyrie System. The planet does have a local nickname of Saturn-XI, though the use of the name is being held up by paperwork for official use given that the name is going to a planet that has little interest to anyone beyond the locals. It orbits Epsilon Valkyrie A at a distance of 4.53 AU, and that distance gives the planet an orbital period of 7,868 days, and with that large distance also comes some of the most frigid temperatures seen, a staggering -389 degrees Fahrenheit at its cloudtops, and has a local day of 17 hours. This farther out planet has a low eccentricity of 0.05, giving a perihelion of 4.30 AU and an aphelion of 4.75 AU.

EVA-08162
EVA-08162 is the sole major moon of EVA-08016, and is a sulfur world, meaning that the world is extremely volcanic. The moon is without inhabitants due to the high volcanic activity, and surface temperatures reach a frigid -406 degrees Fahrenheit. The moon has a diameter of 1,331 miles and is tidelocked to the planet with an orbit of 199,171 miles and takes a time of six hours to complete an orbit.

EVA-09061
EVA-09061 is the furthest out gas giant of Epsilon Valkyrie A with an orbit of 6.80 AU, and cloudtop temperatures reach a staggering -402 degrees Fahrenheit. The gas giant only has one major moon, but eleven moonlets, arranged six beyond its major moon and five within the orbit of its major moon, resulting in faint rings. This far out gas giant has a diameter of 58,996 miles and takes a staggering 14,448 days to complete an orbit around its star, with a local day of 16 hours. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.05, resulting in a perihelion of 6.45 AU and an aphelion of 7.13 AU.

Horus IV
Horus IV is the sole major moon of EVA-09061 and is an extremely frigid outpost of [faction g]. It orbits its planet at a distance of 766,949 miles every eight hours while tidally locked. This large but frigid moon has a diameter of 4,060 miles and has surface temperatures of -421 degrees Fahrenheit, amongst the coldest recorded in the system. The outpost mainly serves military and scientific research.

Epsilon Valkyrie B
Epsilon Valkyrie B is the second M5 Star which makes up the Epsilon Valkyrie system. Most of the worlds in this system are gas giants, though a few terrestrial planets managed to be retained in spite of a gas giant going epistellar. There are nine planets in this portion of the system, more than any other star in the Valkyrie system. The veil between realities at Epsilon Valkyrie B are abnormally thin and is the starting point of a bloodthirsty Ethereal invasion of the material plane.

EVB-01063
EVB-01063 is the Epistellar Gas Giant of Epsilon Valkyrie B at a distance of 0.016 AU and is tidelocked. This gas giant is so close to its star that the cloudtops are extremely hot at temperatures of 720 degrees Fahrenheit. The gas giant makes its orbit every 39 hours and 39 minutes. The gas giant also has no moons and thus no rings and has a diameter of 65,190 miles. This close in planet somehow has an eccentricity of 0.05 in spite of the system's configuration, giving a perihelion of 0.0152 AU and an aphelion of 0.0168 AU.

Poseidon IX
Poseidon IX is the smaller of the two rocky planets around Epsilon Valkyrie B with a diameter of 3,897 miles and as such is a colder rockball. It has a surface temperature of -113 degrees Fahrenheit and orbits at a distance of 0.17 AU. Poseidon IX has no moons and is in a resonant Day-Night cycle due to the gas giant configurations involved. The planet is not very appealing though it is an outpost of [faction h], though the outpost has seen a dramatic increase of attacks from Ethereals and communications from the planet have suddenly stopped being received or intercepted, potentially starting rumors of a mysterious disappearance from the new invaders. Poseidon IX makes an orbit every 57.25 days. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.1, allowing resonant behavior, and has a perihelion of 0.153 AU and an aphelion of 0.187 AU.

Mars XI
Mars XI is the largest rocky body of the Epsilon Valkyrie system with a diameter of 5,353 miles and its day is also resonant with its orbit. This is a notable colony of [faction a] and [faction c], and is a major hub of scientific research between the two factions. The temperatures here though plunge to -175 degrees Fahrenheit, though in spite of this the air is fully breathable. The planet is without moons and orbits Epsilon Valkyrie B at a distance of 0.33 AU, and is amongst the nearest to the source of the incursion into the system. The colony is defending itself well due to the combined efforts and recent intelligence indicates that their centralizing component of the two defensive systems are set to be activated soon. Mars XI makes an orbit every 155 days. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.4, giving a perihelion of 0.198 AU and an aphelion of 0.462 AU.

EVB-04019
EVB-04019 is a gas giant with an orbit of 0.59 AU without any moons or rings with a diameter of 22,813 miles and a cloudtop temperature of -267 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a local day of 20 hours and a year of 374 standard days. The planet has an eccentricity of 0.15 AU, and as such has a perihelion of 0.50 AU and an aphelion of 0.68 AU.

EVB-05091
[remaining planets and moons to be written at a later date]
