So. I was bored recently and oops I created a shit ton of irken culture lore. So uh. Guess I’ll share it? It’s still a WIP but uh. Here?

Starting with the Irken Solar System.

Irken Solar System

* Sansoth- Larger of the two suns, has a reddish color, as it is cooler than Earth’s sun.

* Hapsoth- Smaller of the two suns, has a whitish color, as it is hotter than Earth’s sun.

* Zoter- Closest planet to the suns. A gas giant around the size of Jupiter with an atmosphere akin to Saturn’s. Appears reddish-yellow. Averages 3562 degrees F. No moons. Orbits the suns in 16 earth hours or 13 irken hours.

* Astea- Second planet from the suns. A rocky planet around 1.2x the size of Mars with a Marian atmosphere. Covered in craters due to heavy bombardment and appears grayish-brown. Averages 536 degrees F. Has one moon, Ugalia. Geologically active, with occasional earthquakes and volcanic activity due to plate tectonics driven by its iron-platinum core. Orbits the suns in 6 earth days or 4.9 irken days.

* Ugalia- Astea’s only moon. Sort of oblong in shape, it is extremely small and more akin to a large asteroid than a regular moon. Orbits Astea in 30 earth hours or 24.39 irken hours. Locked in orbit.

* Metchonov- Third planet from the suns. A rocky planet around 1.5x the size of Mercury with an atmosphere akin to Earth’s. Appears blue due to this. Averages 536 degrees F, but terraformed to the point where it is now 153 degrees F. No moons. Sustained simple, multicellular life before Irk wiped it out. The fourth extraplanetary colony Irk made. Houses approximately 3 billion irkens as well as a smaller Control Brain. Not particularly geologically active, but still has an iron-platinum core. Orbits the suns in 20.6 earth days or 12.6 irken days.

* Irk- Fourth planet from the suns. A rocky planet about 1.75x the size of Earth. Has an atmosphere similar to Earth, but with trace iodine gas that gives the atmosphere its pinkish hue. This atmosphere is also incredibly volatile, with storms forming in mere minutes. Half of the planet is covered by the Control Brain, while the other half is covered by thousand foot tall buildings that house, collectively, a total of 10.6 billion irkens. A lot of infrastructure is underground. Birthplace of irkens, who are the only animal left on the planet. Used to have a sprawling, alkaline fresh water ocean but water is now housed in underground ocean sized reservoirs. Averages about 95 degrees F. Used to be extremely geologically active before irkens stopped its tectonic movement by forcibly cooling its iron-platinum core. Has one large supercontinent 1.5x the size of Pangea, though that is hard to see due to the lack of surface water. Has three rings made from three former moons. Has four moons still orbiting it- Xetis, Uartis, Sucutis, and Hovtis. Orbits the suns in 36.5 Earth days or 30 irken days.

* Xetis- The closest moon to Irk. In the process of being torn apart by gravity to form a fifth planetary ring. About the size of Phobus, it orbits Irk about every 8.2 earth hours or 6.67 irken hours. Completely locked with Irk.

* Uartis- The second closest moon to Irk. Will soon begin to be torn apart by gravity. The first celestial body irkens stepped foot on and the first extraplanetary colony they set up. Holds about 850 million irkens. Has an extremely similar atmosphere to Irk due to terraforming, giving it a magenta sky. Was actually formed due to a collision of Irk and another large planet. Houses the second of the big ten Control brains. Around the size of Earth’s moon, it orbits Irk about every 24.2 earth hours or 19.6 irken hours.

* Sucutis- The third closest moon to Irk. The second extraplanetary colony set up. Has little atmosphere. Due to this, it was the reason for the creation of and the first planet to try out the now standard atmospheric processor irken’s are now cloned with. Holds about 1.5 billion irkens. Slightly larger than our moon, it orbits Irk about every 6.1 earth days or 5 irken days.

* Hovtis- The furthest moon from Irk. The third extraplanetary colony Irk set up. Has an almost orange atmosphere due to the failed attempts at terraforming to try to give it a similar atmosphere to Irk’s melding with the natural high oxygen atmosphere of the moon. Holds about 1.87 billion irkens. About the size of Callisto, it orbits Irk about every 12.1 earth days or 10 irken days.

* Koliv- Fifth planet from the suns. A gas giant around the size of Saturn with an atmosphere akin to Neptune’s. Averages 15 degrees F. Has two moons, Cosie and Bianus. Orbits the suns in 68.67 Earth days or 56.32 irken days.

* Cosie- The closer moon to Koliv. Has an almost green color due to methane gases on the surface. Used to house life, but was used by irkens as a trial run of the organic sweep. About the size of Europa, it orbits Koliv about every 31.72 earth days or 26 irken days.

* Bianus- The further moon from Koliv. Has a reddish hue due to large amounts of iron that oxidized a long time ago. It’s landscape is dotted with irken-made scars due to them testing multiple weapons of mass destruction, which rendered it completely uninhabitable. About the size of Deimos, it orbits Koliv about every 42.7 earth days or 42.7 irken days.

* Anerth Line- Massive asteroid belt that separates the first five planets from the remaining three. Much thicker than ours. Holds asteroids that are larger than even Ceres. Mostly made up of carbonaceous chondrites.

* Ratera- Sixth planet from the suns. A gas giant around the size of Jupiter with an atmosphere akin to Uranus’. Looks blue-green due to its atmosphere, and is prone to large storms. Averages -135 degrees F. Has 15 moons, Nenov, Istrides, Obbion, Yicarro, Eruta, Igoria, Zars, Garth, Alea, Sokpria, Vesyrn, Nurturia, Crarth, Lladus, and Rellilles. Orbits the suns in 384.3 earth days or 315 irken days.

* Nenov- The closest moon to Ratera. Used to hold single celled life before being colonized by irk. Holds approximately 1.8 billion irkens. Has pink ice caps due to frozen methane. About the size of Cyllene, it orbits Ratera about every 18.3 earth days or 15 irken days.

* Istrides- The second closest moon to Ratera. Appears almost yellow due to a large deposit of sulfur dioxide. Contains a lot of active volcanoes. Was colonized by irkens, but was abandoned due to the harshness of the sulfur dioxide deposits. About the size of Thebe, it orbits Ratera about every 26.84 earth days or 22 irken days.

* Obbion- The third closest moon to Ratera. Covered in a thin layer of a mix of methane and sulfur dioxide rich ice, it has swirls of pink and yellow stretching across it. Extremely cold. About the size of Amalthea, it orbits Ratera about every 36.97 earth days or 30.3 irken days.

* Yicarro- The fourth closest moon to Ratera. Possibly a piece of Istrides that was broken off in a meteorite strike. Covered in sulfur dioxide, giving it a yellow look. About the size of Atlas, it orbits Ratera about every 39.6 earth days or 32.5 irken days.

* Eruta- The fifth closest moon to Ratera. Covered in a mesh of metal wires due to it housing the third of the big ten Control Brains. Houses about 3 million Irkens dedicated to caring for the control brain. About the size of Europa, it orbits Ratera about every 45.9 earth days or 37.6 irken days.

* Igoria- The sixth closest moon to Ratera. Houses the largest crater in the Irken Solar System. Appears grayish due to it being mostly just rock and ice. Was once used for a refueling outpost but was abandoned due to Irken ships becoming much more fuel efficient. About the size of Tethys, it orbits Ratera about every 55.2 earth days or 45.2 irken days.

* Zars- The seventh closest moon to Ratera. Extremely light for its size, due to its make up of mostly ice and water. Was mined by irkens for its water once the ocean on Irk began to dry up. About the size of Mimas, it orbits Ratera about every 60.1 earth days or 49.26 irken days.

* Garth- The eighth closest moon to Ratera. The largest moon in the Irken Solar System. Used to house intelligent life called garthans who did achieve space travel and even set up two colonies on Vesryn and Sokpria, but were completely wiped out by irkens, leaving the once occupied green-blue moon a wasteland of abandoned buildings. About the size of Titan, it orbits Ratera about every 68.94 earth days or 56.5 irken days.

* Alea- The ninth closest moon to Ratera. The smallest moon in the Irken Solar System, it is barely more than an asteroid. About the size of Aegaeon, it orbits Ratera about every 73.6 earth days or 60.3 irken days.

* Sokpria- The tenth closest moon to Ratera. Houses the remains of the first garthan colony, alongside several nuclear scars which left it completely uninhabitable by even irkens. Any atmosphere it had was stripped away in the war. About the size of Rhea, it orbits Ratera about every 79.4 earth days or 65.08 irken days.

* Vesyrn- The eleventh closest moon to Ratera. The second garthan colony. Holds the abandoned, decaying ruins of the garthans. Was the site of the Garthan’s Last Stand, which was an absolute massacre by the irkens. Bones of garthans still litter the red-skyed moon. About 1.5x the size of Europa, it orbits Ratera about every 84 earth days or 68.85 irken days.

* Nurturia- The twelfth closest moon to Ratera. Houses the first off-planet smeetery, which is now defunct due to a number of defects being born due to its uranium rich soils. About the size of Iapetus, it orbits Ratera about every 89.7 earth days or 73.5 irken days.

* Tianides- The sixth closest moon to Talmara. A small moon that used to house an enormous telescope used to try to locate other stars and potentially terraformable planets. About the size of Ananke, it orbits Talmara about every 73.72 earth days or 60.4 irken days.

* Zaltov- The seventh closest moon to Talmara. Very small, it houses a few irken restaurants and shops, as it is usually the first stops one makes when entering the Irken Solar System. Houses about 60 million irkens. About the size of Earth’s moon, it orbits Talmara about every 82.3 earth days or 67.5 irken days.

* Guzuno- The furthest moon from Talmara. A small, featureless moon of little regard. About the size of Kale, it orbits Talmara about every 89.6 earth days or 73.4 irken days.
