Cokorot

(*I have reverted to the old star system format, I see no point in putting so much into something not about the object or its lore.*)

## Cokorot

The "Wake up to every morning" is more of an expression, as the moon is tidally locked with its parent planet.

### Technical information

This is a cool terra with multicellular life and is a moon. The diameter of the moon is 10348.33 miles (1.3056 R⨁), and the mass of it is 1.6641\*10^25 kilograms, or 2.7855 Earth masses (M⨁). The density of this moon is 6.8807 grams per cubic centimeter, and the oblateness of the moon is a perfect 0, the moon is far from its parent planet. The effective temperature on the moon is 246.11 Kelvin (-16.672 degrees Fahrenheit, or -27.04 degrees Celsius), and the Earth similarity index of this moon is 0.832, high considering the proximity of the object to a Black Hole (TON 618), a thing that would emit considerable amounts of radiation, and the albedo of the moon (Bond and Geom) is 0.411668 and 0.494002. The rotational period of the moon is 57.541 days, and the solar day is 74.519 days, that is one long day and the locals agree. The age of the moon is 10.7 billion years, a very long time, with the moon being formed when the galaxy and black hole was much smaller. The gravity both on the poles and the equator is 16.032 meters per second. The circular velocity is 7.18 miles per second, and the escape velocity is 10.15 miles per second. Orbital information is useless but to keep consistent we will list it. The moon has a standard elliptical orbit, with the parent of the moon being a large gas giant, but more on that later.

The orbital period of the moon is 34.525 days, with the semimajor axis being 4098964.62 miles, and the pericentric distance is 2581612.68 miles. The eccentricity of the moon is 0.370, with the inclination of it being -30\*23’36.72”. The ascending node is -124\*22’3.61”, and the argument of pericenter is -171\*05’49.66”. The mean anomaly is -53\*08’07.12”, with the longitude of pericenter being -295\*27’53.28”, and the mean longitude is -348\*36’00.40”. The hill sphere radius is 170790.02 miles, with the influence sphere radius being 244460.32 miles, and the Roche limit for satellites is 8294.84 miles. The height of the atmosphere is not that high, only 24.11 miles, with the tropopause height being 16339.98 feet. The height of the homogeneous atmosphere is 9890.48 feet, not that high, with the atmospheric pressure being 1.68 atm, similar enough to the Earth for habitation without that much terraforming. The air density here is 3.4559 kilograms per cubic meter, with the air temperature being 249.77 Kelvin (-23.38 degrees Celsius, -10.084 degrees Fahrenheit), and the speed of sound on this moon is 841.72 feet per second. The exosphere temperature is 1292.7 Kelvin, with the greenhouse effect being 3.6076 Kelvin. The average molar mass is 43.070, with the relative mass being 5.0434\*10^-7, and the actual mass being 1.4049\*10^-6 M⨁. Carbon dioxide makes up 92.3% of the atmosphere, with Oxygen making up the rest at 7.61%.

### Ring River Raceway

Off the northern continent, there is a large peninsula, in this peninsula through the dense forests, there is a full river that has no known source, and goes in a circle. This river is surrounded by plains, and is used by the civilization here as a massive race track. Starting in a small bay, the racers start and move to the left, they always do this throughout the whole race, until they reach the bay again and finish the race. The landmass which the circular river surrounds is not that unique, it is a continuation of the lands outside of the river, large plains surrounded by thick taigas. There are a few mountains on the “western” end, and these are home to a small ski resort.

### The Cokorot Tower of Babel

Now we get to the main attraction of the moon, one of the mechanical wonders of the TON 618 galaxy. The Cokorot Tower of Babel is 32 miles tall, and houses 500 Billion people. This tower was constructed to solve the large housing crisis on the peninsula and islands, which at the time collected over 2 Trillion people. The reason is that this is one of the only habitable portions of the moon that has good mining resources, plentiful farmland, and a good location for naval markets. The tower occupies 40 - 50 miles of land, including the support beams, it occupies 80 - 90 miles of land. Many towers of its type fail or fall over (with lots of deadly consequences.) but this one has a few features, construction styles and safety regulations that surround objects flying near it. The first of these is that the tower has a deep foundation, around 15 miles deep, of pure steel, springs, frames, brick, reinforced steel and concrete, brick, and biomechanical websteel (Artificial Spider web material but way more dense and reinforced).

All of this prevents the tower from falling so easily due to earthquakes. For additional support, cables that are around 0.03 miles thick. Further up to the parts that go beyond the atmosphere, a thick layer of copper, reinforced steel and concrete, and Websteel is plated on the outside walls. This protects the tower from meteorites, satellite collisions, and high speed spacecraft collisions. Orbital satellites are not allowed to orbit within 15 miles of the tower. Airplanes can not fly within a mile of the tower unless they are flying inside the tower for the 2 airports inside of the tower. If for some reason, the tower starts to lean over, due to soil change, or the bottom supporting surface structures start to wear off, a tower wide evacuation will be ordered. There are 30 high speed industrial elevators that each have an area of 12 1⁄2 thousand feet. With additional bullet trains and space ports higher up that assist in the evacuation. The social impact of the tower on the moon is significant. They are on the map of a galaxy larger than IC 1101, they are one of the few who are successful, and they have something to look at every morning to bolster their pride (as long as they are close enough to the tower.) The moon’s population has a large sense of pride, many interstellar basketball and soccer teams of theirs have the tower as a logo or  mentioned in name. There has never been an evacuation, though upgraded space ports are being built to assist easier. (Plus it is not that easy to evacuate 500 Billion.)

### Moon System

The moon orbits a gas giant, and there is only one other major moon around said gas giant. Like any gas giant, it also has plenty of asteroid moons, though those are irrelevant.

The giant looks like this:

### Star system

The moon orbits a planet which is part of a 2 star system, this two star system is composed of a primary G star, with a secondary K star. The system in total has 20 planets.
