[[File:Aya (Vela).png|thumb|420x420px]]'''Aya''' is a binary system in the distant [[Midonia|Nebulon]] region of [[Midonia]], made up of '''Ayatar''', a class B8 V main-sequence star, and '''Ayamar''', a class A3.5 V main-sequence star. Initially a waypoint to [[Arwall Maba]], the discovery of [[Sirona|unusual lifeforms]] in the system ushered in countless researchers and tourists. The governing force in Aya is [[Orbital Intergalactic]]. |
|||
'''Aya''' is a recently settled binary system found in [[Nebulon|Nebulon's]] outer [[Telos]] sector. It is made up of Ayatar and Ayamar, a close pair of young white-blue main-sequence stars. Three planets orbit the pair: [[Aya (Vela)#Syres|Syres]], [[Sirona]], and [[Luia]], alongside the two dwarf planets of [[Aya (Vela)#Leoa|Leoa]] and [[Aya (Vela)#Veleros|Veleros]]. By the present day, roughly seven hundred thousand people inhabit Aya, largely concentrated around the system's second planet. [[Apollo]], a captured asteroid in orbit of said planet, is the considered to be the center of power in the system. |
|||
For the past two decades, [[Orbital Intergalactic]], in cooperation with the [[Triton Institute of Biology]] has spearheaded Aya's development, having acquired said rights following the discovery of a previously obscured connection to [[Arwall Maba]] and a rich biosphere in the clouds of [[Sirona]]. |
|||
The stars were discovered in 7596 by the exploration ship '''Ayterion''', after whom the system takes its name. |

The independent exploration vessel Ayleria came to discover Aya in 7596 and quickly overlooked the system, believing it to be a desolate dead end in the frontiers of [[Midonia]]. Unbeknownst to them, they had missed a connection to the star of [[Tarnyali]], harboring the lush garden planet of [[Arwall Maba]]. The planet's discovery four years later led to a detailed survey of nearby stars that could theoretically have been linked to it in the past. By sheer luck, a long-standing connection had been uncovered, its signature heavily distorted by a dense gas cloud in the L-2 Lagrange point of Sirona. |
|||
Subsequently, a deeper survey into Aya's reaches had been conducted, leading to the discovery of a rich biosphere in the clouds of [[Sirona]]. Shortly, the astrohabitation corporation [[Orbital Intergalactic]], in cooperation with [[Triton Institute of Biology]], acquired development rights to Sirona. Various research outposts have been established on the planet ever since, including the presently under-construction Aeris, the eventual capital of Aya. In addition, Orbital Intergalactic has excavated vast cityscapes in the captured asteroid of [[Apollo]] in order to house their workers. It has since become the system's de facto center. |

The ice giant of [[Sirona]] is the second planet orbiting the sapphire suns of Ayatar and Ayamar, deep in the [[Nebulon]] region of [[Midonia]]. Discovered in 7596, the ice giant would be overlooked until the discovery of [[Arwall Maba]] four years later, an event which shaped Aya into a waypoint to the lush garden world. A subsequent deeper survey of the planetary system led to the discovery of rich, previously unnoticed resource deposits on the moons of Sirona, and as a result, the public interest in Aya began to rise. |

Aya is a recently settled binary system found in Nebulon's outer Telos sector. It is made up of Ayatar and Ayamar, a close pair of young white-blue main-sequence stars. Three planets orbit the pair: Syres, Sirona, and Luia, alongside the two dwarf planets of Leoa and Veleros. By the present day, roughly seven hundred thousand people inhabit Aya, largely concentrated around the system's second planet. Apollo, a captured asteroid in orbit of said planet, is the considered to be the center of power in the system.
For the past two decades, Orbital Intergalactic, in cooperation with the Triton Institute of Biology has spearheaded Aya's development, having acquired said rights following the discovery of a previously obscured connection to Arwall Maba and a rich biosphere in the clouds of Sirona.
Governance
The planet of Sirona and its moons are governed by a local board of fifteen members under the Orbital Intergalactic corporation. Votes on budget allocation are held every year on the thirteenth on Calder, giving the workers of the system a collective voice. Though Aeris is set to be the capital, it is under active construction, and thus Apollo has temporarily taken on that role.
Although Orbital Intergalactic officially rules over Luia, the planet's development is left in the hands of the Triton Institute of Biology, who aims to use it as a site of scientific research. While the first planet of Aya, Syres, is under the corporation's laws, it is considered ungoverned due to the complete lack of activity on the planet.
History
The independent exploration vessel Ayleria came to discover Aya in 7596 and quickly overlooked the system, believing it to be a desolate dead end in the frontiers of Midonia. Unbeknownst to them, they had missed a connection to the star of Tarnyali, harboring the lush garden planet of Arwall Maba. The planet's discovery four years later led to a detailed survey of nearby stars that could theoretically have been linked to it in the past.

Shortly, the astrohabitation corporation Orbital Intergalactic, in cooperation with Triton Institute of Biology, acquired development rights to Sirona. Various research outposts have been established on the planet ever since, including the presently under-construction Aeris, the eventual capital of Aya. In addition, Orbital Intergalactic has excavated vast cityscapes in the captured asteroid of Apollo in order to house their workers. It has since become the system's de facto center.

Syres
Syres is viciously scorched by the suns of Aya, its temperatures reaching upwards of six hundred degrees.

Like Leoa, Veleros is a resource-poor body that has no territorial claims.
