Altus is the fifth planet in the local solar system. 
A cold dusty rock with very little liquid water on its surface. Close enough to be seen clearly with telescopes from Demet.
Although cold and dusty, it is by no means incapable of supporting intelligent life. 
Days are approximately 28 hours and years are 426 days. Gravity is 1.2 Gs and the atmosphere is 1.4 times as dense. 
Its Demetian name comes from the Ald god of guidance, Altus. Itself being derived from ATLAS, the name of the AI who inspired the god. 
Its name to the locals is Elain, meaning "Home World."
== Moons ==
It holds 3 in its gravity. 
=== Alune ===
The closest of the three. A small asteroid orbiting at 65000 kilomiters in 1.7 days. Eccentricity is 27% and is inclined at 14.6 Degrees. 
=== Yon ===
The largest of the three. Technically a binary partner 24% Earths mass with .0000001 atmospheres. Highly volcanic and hostile, Subject to periodic total resurfacing events. The previous 3rd moon collided with this one and it may force other two moons out of orbit as well.
=== Calune ===
Another small asteroid orbiting at 868000 km in 83 and a half days. Eccentricity is 24% and inclined at 4.6 degrees.
== Seasons and Climate ==
Due to this planets distance from its star, this planet never sees a day without snow. Half of the planet is covered in ice and there is only any liquid water if it is a thick saline solution or near the equator. 
== Life ==
Home to one native intelligent race far into their information age called Elania. 
Well adjusted to the cold, they find average earth temperatures the same way we would see death valley.
