[RFC] Alpha Centauri A, general environs
 
#4
Quote:Now, being a trinary system, wouldn't there be a helluva lot more planets than the ones listed?

Well, when you count the full Trisystem there's a fair number of planets yeah, but the way A and B orbit each other limits the number of planets either one can have. Gravity issues, y'understand.

Anyway, Centauri B (according to my notes) has three worlds (Nessus, Eurynomus and Chiron) along with an extensive asteroid belt. Chiron is a much more hospitable place for humans; though cooler and drier than Pandora or Earth, the atmosphere is close to Earth-normal. Proxima I haven't really developed yet, but that'll be a few dead rockballs of little note most likely.

Among other interstellar notes I've got, Tau Ceti has Gallifrey, which is a beautiful world just hitting the Permian desert phase, New Alaska in the Barnard's Star system, a cryogenic biosphere on a snowball Super-Earth, and Ragnarok in Delta Pavonis, which was a very nice world until something twice the mass of Phobos hit it around 5,000 years back.

Quote:Pandora, eh? Devonian-style life, non-breathable atmosphere? Better not be any blue folks with braids there...

Nope, no blue cat-people or giant dragons. Yet, anyway: you know fen.

The Hallelujah Mountains exist though, and are quite beautiful, though firmly anchored to the crust this time. Sorry.
