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. |

== Raea == |
== Raea == |
||
Raea is the primary star of the [[Cnara System]]. |
Raea is the primary star of the [[Cnara System]]. There used to be a large system around Raea when it was in the main sequence, but when it transformed into a red giant, it swallowed most of the planets except the outer planet of Cerlore. A small kuiper belt surrounds the star, and all the icy objects with in it are functionally comets, producing a beautiful ring of icy plumes streaming out from the star. |
||
== Maea == |
|||
Maea is a main sequence M-class star, located far inside [[Florathel]] in the [[Cnara System]]. It is currently the most populous star of the [[Cnara-Frealee Federation]] and third most populous star of the [[United Nations of the Florathel]]. There are numerous colonial outposts and stations around the star and on its planetary bodies, including asteroids and moons. Maea has five planets in its influence. |
|||
=== History === |
|||
Out of all the worlds in the system, only Carlea and Azelis (one of the major moons of Sarelle) had all the essential ingredients to initiate the development and evolution of life within the water oceans. While Azelis' life could only stay within its subglacial oceans, Carlea's lifeforms migrated onto land relatively rapidly. The life on Carlea soon evolved to intelligence and founded the Cnara-Frealee Federation with their neighbors in the Frealee System. |
|||
Raea was formed as an F-type main sequence star around 6 billion years ago from a long since dissipated nebula. Like most stars, it was surrounded by a protoplanetary disk in its early days, which began to form planets. However, once Raea reached the end of the main sequence, it expanded into a red giant, swallowing all planets except the outer planet Cerlore. |
|||
== |
==== Predicted future ==== |
||
Raea will soon blow out a planetary nebula and leave behind a blue subdwarf, which will relatively quickly shrink down to a white dwarf. |

|||
<center><font size="6">Brief Description</font></center> |
|||
Coros is currently the first planetary body from Raea, and is a sunblasted lava world orbiting alarmingly close to the surface of Raea. Coros, once known as Rathelis, is known for being the homeworld of the extinct [[Corvelmar]]. As such, it was the capital of the ancient [[Rukelian Empire]], which was destroyed by the [[Woni]]. While [[Vijaya]] reclaimed the system from the wanderers, the planet was glassed beyond recognition. In the time of the Corvelmar, Coros was an artfully maintained, lush world hidden from the baleful light of the ever expanding [[Raea]]. When the [[Woni]] destroyed the planet's ancient shielding, the temperature quickly rose to where it to the equilibrium, making quick work of whoever was left after the Woni's bombardment. Today, Coros' oceans run orange with molten rock as the crust slowly breaks open under the pounding light of Raea, with few traces of the Rukelian Empire or the Corvelmar remaining. |

Raea is the site of the Raea STB Station. Its construction was facilitated by partially disasssembling Cerlore's moon Scab to construct a starlifting mechanism and a dyson swarm. |

Maea is a main sequence M-class star, located far inside [[Florathel]] in the [[Cnara System]]. It is currently the most populous star of the [[Cnara-Frealee Federation]] and third most populous star of the [[United Nations of the Florathel]]. There are numerous colonial outposts and stations around the star and on its planetary bodies, including asteroids and moons. Maea has five planets in its influence. |
|||
Trada is currently the second planet orbiting Raea. In its day, almost three hundred thousand years ago, it was a key world of the [[Rukelian Empire]]. Shielded by ancient constructs just as [[Coros]] was, it was a cool, rusted planet with large ice caps, with obviously artificial canyons criss-crossing its surface. While the planet is barren today, much of the shielding apparatus still exists and is being studied by modern scientists. The atmosphere is gone, and certainly its life has been pushed off the brink into extinction, but much of the ruins on the planetary surface are in perfect condition. As it was uninhabited by the time of the [[Lareas Alliance]], the [[Swarm of Andvaris]] bypassed the planet on its long rampages through Cosmoria, and Trada is thus the largest trove of historical knowledge about this long-past era before [[Andvaris]] and the [[Dark Times]]. |

|||
Maea formed around 3.2 billion years ago in a long-since-dissipated nebula. For a few million years after it formed, it had a large disk around it, which formed many protoplanets, including [[Pyre]] and Carlea. However, most of the protoplanets collided with each other, fell into the sun, or got ejected from the system, which left only five bodies to remain in its midst. |
|||
<center><font size="6">Brief Description</font></center> |
|||
Kralean is the third planet in the Raea system. In the time of the Rukelian Empire, it was a hot, steamy waterworld, not needing the bizarre shielding apparatus floating above it. Today, its surface is trapped under two hundred standard atmospheres of pressure, the equivalent of having over three thousand elephants standing on every square inch of your body. Because of this extreme pressure, any remaining material on the surface cannot even evaporate, resulting in the formation of a layer of "hot ice". This means that even today, not a single individual has touched the surface of Kralean since its environmental collapse. |
|||
Out of all the worlds in the system, only Carlea and Azelis (one of the major moons of Sarelle) had all the essential ingredients to initiate the development and evolution of life within the water oceans. While Azelis' life could only stay within its subglacial oceans, Carlea's lifeforms migrated onto land relatively rapidly. The life on Carlea soon evolved to intelligence and founded the Cnara-Frealee Federation with their neighbors in the Frealee System. |
|||
Despite this, there are millions of people living in cities floating in the white clouds connected by various flying vehicles and even vast bridges. The population of these cities is roughly two hundred million individuals all gazing at the endless clouds. These cities aren't just houses. Specialized instruments that the population coalesced around are slowly stripping the nitrogen and carbon dioxide off of Kralean, potentially opening up the possibility of terraforming. The planet's two moons are well-furnished with population and industry. |

|||
In roughly 1.5 trillion years, Maea will begin leaving the main sequence and turn into a blue dwarf. As it increases in luminosity, it will heat up Carlea. Eventually without intelligent intervention, its oceans will evaporate and all life on its surface will die. As it nears the end of its life, Maea will expand greatly, then collapse into a white dwarf, its habitable zone shrinking beneath the orbit of Selfar. It will slowly cool as the stars die around it, until it is fully thermalized and floats through the endless night. |

Saleas is the fourth planet in the Raea system, and a former moon of the gas giant Virelask. Saleas is the home of the [[Salakela]] species, and capital of [[Saw-Yos]]. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Saleas and its moon Heleas were both similar icelocked waterworlds, fully covered in a thick crust of ice. They were melted by the arrival of the Terakela colonies in the outer system, the population of which later diverged into the [[Salakela]] in the subtly different environment of Saleas. Today, Saleas is an icy world with vast gaps between the ice, where the water shows through into the surface. Its tiny moons Paea and Fras both exhibit large populations, and the Providence Union-built construct of [[Eknar's Ring]] was widely considered as one of the few things that the Union actually did for its outlying territories. |

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. |

Virelask is the fifth planet and first gas giant in the Raea system. Virelask is the largest planet in the entire [[Cnara System]], and contains seven major moons and untold numbers of minor ones in its orbit. Its sphere of influence holds enormous numbers of people of all species in its orbit, in vast arrays of habitats and satellites. Similar to Kralean, Virelask holds billions of people in floating cities above the inflated orange cloud tops. The vast population creates major cultural variation, and the chaotic weather formations make communication more difficult than otherwise, exaggerating this variant effect. |

Noleas, the seventh planet of Raea, is the largest solid object in the system. A massive ice-covered terrestrial planet orbiting in the wide gap between [[Virelask]] and [[Turosar]], Noleas is a major population center in the Cnara System. Its surface and sphere of influence is home to both Kalar and Salakela colonies, making its surface and moon system split between [[Cnara-Frealee]] and [[Saw-Yos]].

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. |
|||
Turosar is the final planet which directly orbits Raea, and has remained much the same since its formation. Turosar is not large, but its enormous distance from [[Raea]] allows it to retain a huge array of captured asteroids. Turosar likely formed closer in and was ejected by Virelask in the geologic past. Its two major moons of Theletma and Taisel were likely two members of a binary of some sort, captured into orbit late in the formation of the Cnara System. Due to the planet's extreme cold and distance, organic beings tend to leave it alone, leaving its freezing wastes to the uploaded population. |

Keitar is the most distant planet in the entire system, orbiting almost five hundred AU away from the barycenter of [[Raea]] and [[Maea]]. 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 distance, it was only discovered after the invention of the infrared telescope and languished in obscurity for centuries before it was used as a black site by the [[Providence Union]]. The planet was devastated during the [[War of the Last Alliance]], and today lies abandoned. |

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 oceans of molten sulfur. 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. |

Sarelle is the second largest and final world orbiting [[Maea]]. Sarelle is the fifth and second largest planet around [[Maea]]<nowiki/>and 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 [[Carleans|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. |

The moons of Masran and [[Dorion]] is the site of ancient colonies of the long-dead [[Moridian High Command]], their populations wiped out by whatever destroyed their parent nation. They are among the most well-preserved of such archaeological sites, and lack the dangerous conditions surrounding such places as the [[Erinor]] System and [[Ikalas]].

Because of Keitar's distance, 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. |

Template:SiteNoticeTemplate:!Star SystemThe Cnara System is a major star system near the Heart of Providence in Florathel composed of two stars, Raea and Maea. The system is most notable for its terrestrial planet, Carlea, which 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.
Raea
Raea is the primary star of the Cnara System. There used to be a large system around Raea when it was in the main sequence, but when it transformed into a red giant, it swallowed most of the planets except the outer planet of Cerlore. A small kuiper belt surrounds the star, and all the icy objects with in it are functionally comets, producing a beautiful ring of icy plumes streaming out from the star.
History
Raea was formed as an F-type main sequence star around 6 billion years ago from a long since dissipated nebula. Like most stars, it was surrounded by a protoplanetary disk in its early days, which began to form planets. However, once Raea reached the end of the main sequence, it expanded into a red giant, swallowing all planets except the outer planet Cerlore.
Predicted future
Raea will soon blow out a planetary nebula and leave behind a blue subdwarf, which will relatively quickly shrink down to a white dwarf.
Orbital Infrastructure
Raea is the site of the Raea STB Station. Its construction was facilitated by partially disasssembling Cerlore's moon Scab to construct a starlifting mechanism and a dyson swarm.
Maea
Maea is a main sequence M-class star, located far inside Florathel in the Cnara System. It is currently the most populous star of the Cnara-Frealee Federation and third most populous star of the United Nations of the Florathel. There are numerous colonial outposts and stations around the star and on its planetary bodies, including asteroids and moons. Maea has five planets in its influence.
History
Maea formed around 3.2 billion years ago in a long-since-dissipated nebula. For a few million years after it formed, it had a large disk around it, which formed many protoplanets, including Pyre and Carlea. However, most of the protoplanets collided with each other, fell into the sun, or got ejected from the system, which left only five bodies to remain in its midst.
Out of all the worlds in the system, only Carlea and Azelis (one of the major moons of Sarelle) had all the essential ingredients to initiate the development and evolution of life within the water oceans. While Azelis' life could only stay within its subglacial oceans, Carlea's lifeforms migrated onto land relatively rapidly. The life on Carlea soon evolved to intelligence and founded the Cnara-Frealee Federation with their neighbors in the Frealee System.
Projected future
In roughly 1.5 trillion years, Maea will begin leaving the main sequence and turn into a blue dwarf. As it increases in luminosity, it will heat up Carlea. Eventually without intelligent intervention, its oceans will evaporate and all life on its surface will die. As it nears the end of its life, Maea will expand greatly, then collapse into a white dwarf, its habitable zone shrinking beneath the orbit of Selfar. It will slowly cool as the stars die around it, until it is fully thermalized and floats through the endless night.
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 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.
Cerlore has three major moons:

Flame
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 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 oceans of molten sulfur. 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 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.
Miriel has only one known moon:
Erralta
Carlea is the fourth planet around Maea. It is a lush terrestrial 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 Florathel, 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 Florathel Galaxy.
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.
Sarelle has 31 moons, two of which are major:
Azelis
Erenne
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 distance, 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.
