Cnara System

The Cnara System is a star system near the Flower Core of the Flower Galaxy. It is a secondary capital system for the United Nations of the Flower Galaxy, and one of two capitals of the Cnara-Frealee Federation. The Cnara-System is composed of two stars, Raea and Maea. The Cnara System is most notable for its terrestrial planet, Carlea. This world outshines all others in the system, and many know nothing about the other planets compared to this shining gem. Currently, there are six planetary bodies in the Cnara System, with the vast majority, five, around the secondary star of Maea.

Architecture

The Cnara System, being a distant binary, has two distinct planetary systems. The first, the one surrounding Raea, only contains one planet, Cerlore, the largest planet in the system. The second contains five planets, Pyre, Selfar, Miriel, Carlea, and Sarelle. Beyond both stars lies a sparse cloud of various comets, debris, dwarf planets, etc, known as the Limit Cloud. The limit cloud contains one major planet, known as Keitar. Many stations which, combined, hold a significant fraction of the population of the Cnara System, are sprinkled all throughout the system.

Planets

The Cnara System contains 6 planetary bodies and 6 major moons. Every planet in the system is utilized as much as possible, with a diverse selection of cultures and life. The Carleans have colonized every single object in the system since ~45,000 CE.

A full list of all planets with short descriptions is below.

Cerlore - Standing Before Fire

Brief Description

Cerlore is the largest world in the Cnara System, and the only planet orbiting Raea. Typically, Cerlore is known for its unique appearance, as well as its network of heavily scorched moons. Cerlore has three major moons, which are being very heavily mined to construct megastructures in systems near the Cnara System. Cerlore is notably profitable in terms of resource extraction and tourism, as the red giant of Raea looms menacingly in the sky, and the three moons of the planet are easy to extract heavy metals from.

Moons

Cerlore has three major moons:

• Scab
• File:Horus.pngHorus
• Flame

Pyre - Life In Lava

Brief Description

Pyre is the innermost and hottest planet orbiting Maea. Pyre is partially covered in lava, and has no moons. Despite its exceedingly high temperatures (upwards of 1200º K), it has silicon-based life on its surface! This makes the moon one of the most researched worlds in the entire territory of the Cnara-Frealee Federation, and it is populated mainly by scientists in different fields.

Selfar - Crushed Oceans

Brief Description

Selfar is the second planet orbiting Maea, and contains a very thick atmosphere. Selfar, due to a combination of high pressure and high temperature, is covered mainly in extremely pressurized and heated shallow water oceans. Despite the extreme conditions, Selfar's oceans are filled with primitive life, and several technological advances have been made to make base materials strong enough to survive the extreme pressures beneath the kilometers of atmosphere. The vast majority of the planet's population is based in floating cities above the clouds, where conditions are actually somewhat similar to Carlea. These cities aren't just for tourism and prettiness, because they are slowly stripping nitrogen and carbon dioxide off the atmosphere, making terraforming possible.

Miriel - Smelly Sphere in Space

Brief Description

Miriel is the third and largest planet that orbits Maea. Other than this, however, Miriel is rather monotonous, and is mostly one color. Despite the monotony, Miriel contains many vast floating cities, which hold roughly a fifth of the population of the Cnara System. To make up for the boringness of Miriel's natural features, the cities have rich and varied cultures, which lend many of them great fame throughout the system.

Moons

Miriel has only one known moon:

• Erralta

Carlea - The Shining Gem

Brief Description

Carlea is the fourth planet around Maea. It is a cool, temperate E-class planet with life filling its vast oceans and small continents. It is the homeworld of the Carlean species, the second most populous planet of the United Nations of the Flower Galaxy, and one of the two capitals of the Cnara-Frealee Federation. Carlea is very densely populated, holding roughly one sixth of the population of the entire system, and has a thick cloud of artificial structures surrounding it. Because it is the homeworld of the Carleans, Carlea has a very diverse culture, which has helped lend it even more fame throughout the entire Flower Galaxy.

Sarelle - Dance of the Ring Debris

Brief Description

Sarelle is the second largest and final world orbiting Maea. Sarelle is the fifth and second largest planet around Maeaand the third largest planet in the Cnara System. As of the present day, it and its 31 moons are home to 14 trillion inhabitants (the vast majority of which are Carlean). The planet's two major moons are Azelis and Erenne. Sarelle was the first world colonized by the Carleans, after they first ventured in to space. Because of this, Sarelle and its moons have cultures almost as diverse as Carlea itself, and the inhabitants of the planet hold quite a lot of sway over events in the Cnara System and surrounds.

Moons

Sarelle has 31 moons, two of which are major:

• Azelis
• Erenne

Keitar - Restaurant at the End of the Solar System

Brief Description

Keitar is the most distant planet in the entire system, orbiting almost a third of a light-year away from the two stars. Because of this, Keitar is very dark, has an exceedingly long orbital period, and has only three thousand people on the planet and its surroundings. Because of Keitar's distantness, it was only discovered after the invention of the infrared telescope, and used to be used as a secret research base. Today, it is not too well known, and is often omitted in textbooks.
