Vilous is a main-sequence type K star in the northern Orion Spur, and is the sun to Tal. It is located in the Vilous Greater Expansion Area, and is the homesystem for talkind.
System Structure[edit | edit source]
Vilous is orbited by just two planets, followed by an asteroid belt, a brown dwarf and a cloud of icy bodies.
Inner Planets[edit | edit source]
The two inner planets, Eltus and Tal, are both terrestrial planets, composed of solid rocky cores, silicate mantles and lithospheres. Eltus is noticably smaller than Tal, likely due to its proximity to the star. Eltus also lacks an atmosphere and any prominent magnetic field.
Asteroid Belt[edit | edit source]
Ringing Vilous is a massive asteroid belt, likely a protoplanet that was ripped apart by Jiru. This field poses a threat to travellers, however most of the debris ends up spiraling towards the neighboring brown dwarf.
Jiru[edit | edit source]
Main article: Jiru
Jiru is a brown dwarf approximately 16 times the mass of Sol's Jupiter. It is possible that protoplanets in the system's early life were simply captured by the dwarf and merged with it, or ejected out of the system completely.
