Kauph System

The Kauph System with 2 planets visibly seen

## Overview

The Kauph System is a star system located on the outer edges of the Southern Tranquil Galaxy. It is a single-star system with two rocky planets named Reburn and Trailblazer. Its distance to Earth is 161.85 Mly away. There are seemingly no comets or asteroids in this system because they were vaporized by the extremely high temperature caused by Kauph itself. The spectrum of Kauph is an O3.1 IV and with a solar luminosity of 83858, it is a blue subgiant.

## Formation

The Kauph System was formed recently, around 3.12 million years ago, as a result of an aftermath of a galactic collision between the Southern Tranquil Galaxy and the Placid Galaxy. The impact pulled numerous black dust particles from the Tranquil Galaxy, resulting in the formation of a massive now non-existent H II region known as the Lucid Nebula. During its creation, the system was slingshotted by a wandering red supergiant. Its ejection implies that the Kauph system will not have enough mass to gobble up, although there are enough leftovers from the accretion disk material to make the current day mass around 180☉︎, If the ejection had not occurred, Kauph would have double the mass and would have perished much sooner. The planets of Kauph had been formed around 2.87 million years ago as the Kauph's accretion disk left with little material.

## Kauph

Kauph is a massive O-type star with a diameter of about 0.25 AU, it is the most massive star and only solitary star in the Kauph system. It is a bright star with a temperature of 49550 K.

## Reburn

### Overview

Reburn is the smallest and least massive planet in the Kauph System. It is also the innermost planet and has a thin atmosphere that can be seen from space. Its surface is covered in craters, mountain range, plains, valleys, volcanoes, etc. Reburn has four satellites, including one major moon, Tyloch, and three dwarf moons named Gaf, Miuono, and Wiare, from outer to inner.

### Formation of Reburn

Reburn originated as a proto-planet in a mass-depleted accretion disk, and despite this, Reburn had a mass about the same as Mars. Just as Reburn was about to cool down, it suffered an impact from Hamakia, a planet more massive than Mercury. Its collision destroyed all surface features in Reburn, forming an accretion disk that gave rise to two moons: Tyloch and Da. Due to this collision, the mass of Reburn is more massive than Mars.

#### Formation of Reburn's moons

Tyloch and Da formed through co-accretion, the same process that created the planets in the Kauph system. However, the orbit of Da is too close to Reburn, and it slowly spirals inward at a faster rate. As time passes onto its inevitable fate, Da has broken up into trillions of pieces and formed a ring that produces the shepherd moons of Reburn, dubbed Gaf, Miuono, and Wiare; eventually, the rings disintegrate, but the shepherd moons (now called dwarf moons) are still here to this day.

### Atmosphere of Reburn

Reburn has an atmospheric composition of 87.9% CO₂ᵣ, 12% SO₂, and 0.112% C₃H₈, with a mass of 0.0021692 Earth's atmosphere and a very low atmospheric pressure of 0.00425 atm. Reburn's axial tilt makes the seasons harsher than on Earth, and as clouds, there are seemingly none because there is no chemical composition to make clouds on Reburn, however, there are still some weather patterns on Reburn like tropical storms-like patterns in the flat plain regions.

## Trailblazer

Trailblazer is the biggest and most massive planet in the Kauph System. It is also the outermost planet in this system and the sole moonless planet. Similar to Reburn, it has a thin atmosphere and surface characteristics like valleys, volcanos, plains, craters, and mountain ranges.
