Kvul

Kvul is the first and smallest planet of the Ovumus System. Kvul has 3 minor moons, none of which are interesting.
== Physical Characteristics ==
Kvul is a small hot selena, meaning it lacks a meaningful atmosphere. Like most planets, it does have an exosphere, although it is almost undetectable even by powerful sensors. Kvul has the highest axial tilt in the system at ~175º, making it nearly rotate retrograde to its orbital motion, similar to Violis. Despite its close proximity to Ovumus and high temperatures, it does have some volatiles in the permanently shadowed craters at the poles, making it useful for a starting colony site.
== Orbit ==
Kvul orbits its parent star every 1.8 years at roughly 50 km/s. It has a relatively low eccentricity of 0.05, making it have a stable temperature of around 380 celsius. Its apoapsis is at 2.772 AU, while the periapsis takes it 2.51 AU from Ovumus.
== History ==
Kvul is the last planet to be discoverd in the Ovumus System. It was discoverd by a long-range camera from the Ovumus Flyby Probe, sent from the nearby star Quantis. It was decided that the probe would fly by to investigate the previously undiscovered planet. The probe found that the dot was a small barren planet, and it also found 3 minor moons in orbit.
== Moons ==
===YLJ-95123575 B1===
YLJ-95123575 B1 or simply B1 is the largest of the moons of Kvul, at 259 km in radius. Embedded in its core is an O'Neill cylinder with a population of ~100,000 people. 
===YLJ-95123575 B2===
B2 is the second largest of the moons of Kvul. Instead of a habitat in its core, its fully mined of rare metals and volatiles. Its radius is 240 km, making it slightly smaller than B1. 
===YLJ-95123575 B3===
B3 is the most distant moon of Kvul. It is also fully mined out, retaining only rock and useless rubble. Its radius is 226 km, making it the smallest moon of Kvul.
== Colonization ==
Kvul is fully under the control of the Verdan Federation, specifically from Varbudos. Its proximity to its sun makes it useful for large solar panel arrays to power infrastructure to other planets in the system. Currently ~40% of the equator has been covered in solar panels.
