Vaeltaa

Vaeltaa is a cool desert moon orbiting the gas giant Aiti, which orbits Tahti A, in the Tahti system located in the Scutum-Centaurus arm of the Milky Way. It is one of the three major moons orbiting the gas giant, and the second largest moon of the three major moons, as well as the second largest moon in its star system. It is smaller than Kodu, but larger than Aavikko. The moon harbors a ring system, of mysterious origin, but none the less, beautiful. 
== Moon Information ==
Vaeltaa is a moon orbiting Aiti, and is very similar to the moon Aavikko, which also orbits the gas giant. This moon does not follow the same orbital pattern however, its orbit is very inclined, and it is the only moon that is tilted on its axis. One other unique aspect about the moons orbit is that it actually orbits Aiti in the opposite direction. Kodu and Aavikko orbit Aiti in a counterclockwise direction, meanwhile Vaeltaa orbits clockwise. Vaeltaa orbits Aiti at a 2:3 ratio, meaning one day is two-thirds of its orbital period. The moon completes one orbit every 16 and a half days. Vaeltaa is a cool desert world, similar to Aavikko, however, it has much cooler temperatures, and significantly more cloud coverage. It is also slightly larger than Aavikko as well, and bears a ring system, much like Aiti. The origin of Vaeltaa's rings is unknown, but theories suggest that one of Aiti's moons may have gotten too close, resulting in the moon to be torn to shreds and form a ring around Vaeltaa. The rings by far make Vaeltaa one of the most unique moons in its star system. Vaeltaa also has a very toxic and unbreathable atmosphere, composed of mostly Nitrogen and CO2, with small amounts of SO2, H2O, CO, Argon, and Neon.
== History ==
* ~8.5 billion years ago: Vaeltaa forms along with Kodu and Aavikko.
* ~7.1 billion years ago: Vaeltaa cools down to around -26 Celsius.
* ~5.1 billion years ago: Vaeltaa gains an atmosphere, and drifts away from Aiti resulting in an inclined orbit and an opposite obliquity.
* ~2.9 billion years ago: Vaeltaa does not change much and hasn't throughout its entire life.
* ~100 million years ago: one of Aiti's moons is captured by Vaeltaa and orbits to closely, resulting in tidal forces tearing it apart and becoming a ring system
* Today: Vaeltaa is a cold and arid world, with a toxic atmosphere and beautiful ring system.
