Kyandor System

The Kyandor system is a system of 5 planets orbiting a red dwarf star. Kyandor was one of the first extrasolar colonies founded following the breakdown of the Solar Union in the late 2390s, and the "successor" to Earth on the galactic stage, quickly becoming one of the most important trade hubs only 225 years after the first colonists set foot on the planet. 
Colonized in the mid 2920s after a twenty year voyage by Liveship Traveler, the planet Revant eventually spawned more colonies of its own, spending almost a century using automated FTL enabled probes to find possible colony sites. An organization called the New Worlds Initiative oversaw the probe data. 
Compared to the Sol system, with Neptune at . Only 1.4 AU in diameter.
== Planets ==
=== Kyandor A ===
The closest planet to Kyandor and both the smallest and least massive spherical body in the system, with only 10% of the moon's mass, of which almost 90% is metals. The world is tidally locked to Kyandor, and orbits the star in 6.97 Earth days.
=== Revant ===
While officially designated "Kyandor B", the planet was often referred to as "New Earth" by some early colonists until the name "Revant" was chosen by poll after arriving. The name originates from Neo-Romantic "reh-VAUNT", which comes from the french "rêvant", meaning "Dreaming". The world was chosen over others that would have taken less time to reach simply due to its well-tailored environment. A surface gravity of 0.92 Gs and a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere of 1.03 earth atmospheric pressures made it very attractive. 
Its tidally locked nature has restricted human habitation to areas near the terminator, with the night side being too cold for human habitation and the day side constantly experiencing powerful winds and rain due to the perpetual hemisphere wide hurricane. 
=== Kyandor C ===
Kyandor C is the third planet in Kyandor's orbit, and is a rocky body near the mass of Earth's moon that features shallow pockets of water ice. It orbits Kyandor every 189 days, and has a solar day length of 5 earth days. 
=== Kyandor D ===
The fourth planet of the system and slightly more massive than Kyandor C, this dwarf planet sports a deep blue-black color. It orbits Kyandor once every 487 earth days and rotates very slowly, only once every 80.4 earth days.
=== Kyandor E ===
A gas giant one third the mass of Jupiter. The gasses in its outer atmosphere are stark white in color only when exposed to white light, due in part to a high helium content. It orbits Kyandor once every 2.09 Earth years and features two large moons and faint, distant rings.
==== Kyandor E 1 ====
An icy body bigger than most of the planets in the system, with a mass of 1.86 earth moons. Its inclined orbit suggests it was a dwarf planet capture. Its orbital period is 5.26 days.
==== Kyandor E 2 ====
A dull brown moon with a powerful magnetosphere for its size. Its southern hemisphere is dark and mountainous while the north is more pale and dusty. Its mass is 2.13 times that of earth's moon and orbits Kyandor E in 14.7 days.Category:Solar Systems
