Pol

**Pol** is the second moon of Jool, and the first to have been pulled into a spherical shape by its own gravity. Pol experiences intense stresses on its mantle due to Jool's gravitational pull, making the moon extremely volcanically active. It is also bombarded by radiation from Jool's Van Allen Belts.

## In-Game Description

"*Named after it’s yellowish grainy appearance in a telescope, Pol was thought by its original discoverer to be a random pollen grain floating in space. Until he realized that the “pollen grain” was orbiting Jool. And a whole lot bigger. Pol is one of the most volcanic areas in the entire Kerbol system due to extreme tidal forces from Jool acting on its mantle. Being the closest orbiting major moon of Jool, it is also constantly bathed in Jool’s radioactive Van Allen belts, making this place a hot, radioactive nightmare."*

## Physical Characteristics

Pol has been described by Kerbal Scientists as being a "3 dimensional slice of a 4 dimensional pizza". Others say Pol is characteristic of a massive space pollen grain from an intergalactic flower. However, Pol is a lava world covered in sulfur deposits. Pol has been found to be the most volcanically active body in the Kerbol System. This is because of the massive tidal forces acting upon the moon from its parent, Jool.

Unlike Kerbin's volcanoes, which are primarily silicon based, Pol's lava flows are made of molten sulfur. As a result, Pol has a yellow appearance, with more yellow terrain being newer than the older white highlands.

## Exosphere

Like most of the moons around Jool, Pol has a tenuous atmosphere hugging the surface consisting mainly of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), with smaller amounts of sulfur monoxide (SO), sodium chloride (NaCl), and atomic sulfur and oxygen.

## Orbit

Pol is locked in a 1:2:4 resonance with Laythe and Tylo. This means that for every 4 orbits for Pol, Laythe orbits twice and Tylo orbits once. This has kept all three moons in a stable orbit, preventing them from flinging each other out of the system.

The resonance also has an effect on Pol's orbit, forcing it to slightly change to adjust to the resonance. Because of this, after a while Pol may have a more/less eccentric orbit.

## Biomes

* Lava Lakes, Flows
* Young Volcanic Terrain
* Volcanic Basin
* Lowlands
* Midlands
* Highlands

## Trivia

* Pol is based off of a real life moon of Jupiter: Io.
* Pol is one of several bodies in KSS to have molten lava on the surface (in the form of small lakes, in this case).
* If one is to install Kerbalism with compatibility with KSS, most spacecraft will be incinerated near Pol.
	+ This requires Kerbalism compatibility with KSS.
Aryl

**Aryl** is the 3rd moon of Oran.

## In-game Description

*"Aryl, the third moon of Oran, exhibits an extensive canyon system on its surface. These likely formed from thermal expansion and contraction that caused cracks in the crust during the early formation of the moon. The surface crust opens up to reveal white rock beneath the canyons, and many scientists believe some may be covered with a thin layer of ice. Like Umnyl, the surface of Aryl contains rock dating back to the formation of the Oran system, so get those mission planners together for a visit!"*

## Physical Characteristics

Aryl boasts some of the most extensive canyons and oldest regions in the Kerbol System. While most of the moon's surface is a dark brown/gray, the bright canyons, cracks and craters give it some contrast with new soils.

Like it's brother Umnyl, some parts of Aryl's surface are relatively undisturbed and can give insights into the formation of the Oran System. However, Aryl has seen more tectonic activity than Umnyl from early thermal contraction, resulting in the creases and lineae in Aryl's surface. This is likely due to its smaller size, leading to a more rapid cooling and contracting. The result of this is the beautiful natural landmarks we see now, and with its position in the Oran system, Aryl can make for one of the most pretty places to view this far out system.

Hypat

Hypat

**Hypat** is the KSS equivalent to Planet Nine, a theoretical planet which has been proved using the power of Math. It is an ice giant, but a lot of its gases have frozen solid due to the extremely low temperatures. It is the farthest planet from Kerbol in the Kerbol System. Hypat is believed to be the planet causing Naith's and Hal's orbit to gain a high eccentricity and inclination.

## In-game Description

"*Hypat is the most recently discovered planet in the Kerbol System, found when kerbal scientists theorized a large planet must have altered Naith’s orbit from a circular orbit to a more eccentric orbit. Hypat is an ice giant, and it is cold enough that all heavier gases in its atmosphere have frozen solid, leaving only the hydrogen and helium envelope on the outside gas layers. Kerbonauts are always eager to plan a mission to Hypat to have the opportunity to lay eyes on the most distant planet from Kerbol in the entire system."*

## Physical Characteristics

Hypat is the farthest and coldest planet in the Kerbol System. It is an ice giant, like Oran and Naal, but much colder.

## Atmosphere

As described before, Hypat is an ice giant, like Oran & Naal. It has developed a pink atmosphere, which scientists say is a result of the heavier gases, like methane & ammonia freezing, leaving only a thinner Hydrogen & Helium envelope around the rocky core.

## Orbit and Rotation

Hypat is the only planet in the Kerbol System to have an inclination more than 10 degrees. It is also the farthest known body from Kerbol, meaning it is also the one with the longest year.

Hypat's orbit is so large that it can be traced out easily from other star systems ie:Nova Kirbani.

## Moons

As of 0.7, Hypat has 1 moon, Ilum. According to the developer, StarCrusher96, Hypat is expected to get more moons in the future.

## Trivia

* Due to Hypat's high eccentricity, inclination, and semi-major axis, many scientists have hypothesized that Hypat was actually an exoplanet that was captured by Kerbol billions of years ago.
* The best time to visit Hypat is when it reaches the periapsis, due to the better views and less fuel needed.
	+ However, waiting for Hypat to reach its periapsis takes far too long (a few thousand years). In this case, it is better to just approach Hypat whenever.

Soul

A **soul** is the spiritual life essence of a person, which resides within a physical body while the person is still alive. After their physical body dies, or is destroyed, their soul continues to exist, and typically moves on to an afterlife Heaven, Hell, The Veil and souls of monsters go to purgatory. After death, they can refuse to move to an afterlife, and remain on Earth as a ghost. If they go to Hell, they will end up being tortured into a demon.
Ilo

**Ilo** is a habitable world in the Nessus system known for it's striking red continents. This is caused by the red vegetation.

## Physical Characteristics

Ilo is slightly larger then Kerbin, but strangely enough has lower gravity. A large portion of the land on Ilo is covered with red vegetation due to the lower light output from Nessus III, its parent star.

## Atmosphere

Ilo has a rather thick atmosphere for a Kerbin-like world. This makes it a very good planet for airbraking and aero-captures.

## Moon

Ilo has 1 Dres-sized moon, Eru.

* Eru

## Life

Because the biodiversity and abundance of life on Ilo surpasses that of Kerbin, the Kerbal Astronomical Society has classified this world as "Super-Habitable".
Kurvin

Kurvin is a brown dwarf and the companion to Korvin.

## In-game Description

*"Kurvin is a part of a binary brown dwarf system with its companion, Korvin. Because the hydrogen gas used to create this binary system was split among two celestial bodies, neither of the bodies accumulated enough mass to sustain hydrogen fusion, resulting in the system of failed stars we see today."*

## Physical Characteristics

Kurvin is a T-class brown dwarf, meaning that it's not near large enough to sustain hydrogen fusion, but can still fuse Lithium. It emits a small amount of visible light, but emits much larger amounts of UV radiation. It's the smaller of the two brown dwarves in the Korvin system, but is still much larger than Jool, at more that 30 times its mass. It's generally agreed that it would be rather unpleasant to get very close to Kurvin, as you'd be exposed to large amounts of radiation, resulting in painful tumors and sores. It's unknown, at the moment, if Kurvin hosts any planets, but if it did they'd all be rather cold and gloomy.
Tylo

Tylo

**Tylo** is the Jool's largest moon and the 4th from the gas giant. It also holds the record for largest moon in the Kerbol System. It is also the only moon in the Kerbol System with a magnetosphere.

## In-Game Description

*"Tylo was the first moon of Jool to be discovered by the Kerbal Astronomical Society. After many failed attempts to take a flawless picture of Jool to hang on the office walls, it was finally discovered that the wandering white smear was indeed a moon.*

*Scientists speculate that the view from the surface with Pol, Laythe, and Jool overhead must be quite something."*

## Physical Characteristics

Tylo is known by scientists as being one of the cooler icy moons in the Kerbol System. Its surface is a combination of old regions and new regions.

The old regions are the darker areas on the surface. They are highly cratered and have a different composition. These regions have more clay-like material instead of ice.

The new regions are the brighter spots. They are composed mostly of water ice. These spots are cracked and grooved, likely due to tectonic activity.

Tylo is known as the largest moon in the Kerbol System. It's even larger than Moho and is the only moon with a confirmed magnetosphere. It also may host a subsurface saline ocean, but the concentrations of salt may be too much for the formation of most life.

## Exosphere

Tylo has a faint exosphere of oxygen clinging to the surface. This is similar to what is found on Laythe.

## Orbit

Tylo is currently locked in a 1:2:4 resonance with Pol and Laythe. This means that for every 1 orbit Tylo completes, Laythe orbits twice and Pol orbits 4 times.

## Possibilities of Life

Tylo, like all the moons of Jool, experiences strong tidal forces from Jool, heating up the inside. Evidence of a magnetic field around Tylo as well as gravity scans of the moon indicate that Tylo likely has a subsurface ocean, similar to Laythe, which could harbor life.

## Biomes

* Old Terrain Lowlands
* Old Terrain Midlands
* Old Terrain Highlands
* Young Icy Terrain
* Gakukeui Crater
* Gagarin Crater
* Impact Craters
* Tycho Crater

## Trivia

* Tylo is based off the real life moon Ganymede.
* Tylo's magnetosphere is likely caused by induction of Jool's magnetosphere in the core or saline ocean of Tylo.
Minmus

Minmus

**Minmus** is a comet in the Kerbol System, like Kirnel. Unlike Kirnel, Minmus has a longer year, thus giving it more time before it runs out of volatile material. Minmus had always been described as having the taste of minty ice-cream, but some other flavors have popped up as well, such as that of a burnt mint marshmallow.

## In-game Description

*"Scientists now know that Minmus is a dirty, icy comet that orbits Kerbol on a long, eccentric path. But when it was first discovered by famous astronomer Kalley Kerman, many believed that Minmus was actually a second moon of Kerbin. This was quickly corrected when astronomers realized Minmus was too far away for that claim to be true. Some kerbals still think that Minmus is made out of minty ice cream, however, and the Kerbal Astronomical Society won’t be bothered to correct them."*

## Physical Characteristics

Minmus is one of 3 comets in KSS, along with Kirnel and Chur. It is a dirty iceball orbiting Kerbol in a period of about 75 years. Minmus is mostly made of ice, with salts giving it a blue color. However, due to frequent passes around Kerbol, the higher regions of Minmus have lost the volatile ice, exposing a rockier core underneath. Minmus is known for having steep cliffs along with flatter plateaus and valleys, giving it many nooks and crannies for a spacecraft to hide from the blasting heat it gets every time it orbits.

## Biomes

* Flats
* Lowlands
* Midlands
* Highlands
* Poles

## Trivia

* Minmus is based off of the real life comet Halley.
* Minmus is one of 3 comets in KSS
Kirb (Star)

**Kirb** is a G2V (yellow main sequence) star located in the Nova Kirbani System. It is very similar to Kerbol, being the same spectral type and having a relatively similar mass. It is also home to the Kirb System.

## In-Game Description

"*Kirb is one of the three stars that make up the Nova Kirbani ternary system. Kirb is very similar to Kerbol, being a spectral class G2V (yellow main sequence) star, but 1.1 times as massive."*

## Physical Characteristics

Despite Kirb's greater mass and luminosity, it is a G2 main sequence star just like the sun, Kerbol. This makes Kirb's spectral composition nearly identical to Kerbol's light, as well as allows similar plant life to form and a similar habitable zone to be present around the star.

## Trivia

* Despite being the same spectral type as Kerbol, Kirb's lifespan is shorter by 2 billion years, due to its increased mass and core temperature.
Chur

Chur is a comet in the Kerbol system.

## In-Game Description

"*Chur is a comet that was discovered by renowned astronomer Churro Kerman, who was actually attempting to track comet Minmus at the time of discovery. After examining the photographic plates he brought home from his lab, Churro Kerman realized that the body he had captured could not in fact be Minmus, and had to be an entirely separate object. Eventually the comet itself, as well as a type of fried-dough snack popular on Kerbin, was named after him for his discovery."*

## Physical Characteristics

Chur is one of the 3 most well known comets around Kerbol, and also the smallest. Chur's most well-known feature is its two-headed appearance, which scientists have found is a result of a gentle collision between two asteroids.
Neseb I

Neseb I, with Neseb II in the background

Neseb I is a G-type star in the Nova Arm and the larger star in the Neseb binary system.

## In-game Description

"*Using gravitational lensing through nearby celestial objects and extremely sensitive equipment, kerbal scientists were able to detect Neseb I and it’s companion in the distant Nova Arm. Unfortunately, this star system does not appear to host any planetary systems. However, kerbal scientists are still eager to study this never before seen arrangement of near-mass stars."*
Nessus II

**Nessus II** is the second and smallest star in the Nessus System.

## In-game Description

"*Nessus II is the closest star to Nessus I, making the two stars a close binary. Because of Nessus I’s brightness and the close proximity of the two stars, Nessus II was the last star to be discovered in the Nessus System. It is too close to host any planets of its own."*
Iave

**Iave** is one of the moons around Mesmo. Although this moon has 'seas' of molten rock, it seems to be geologically inactive.

## In-game Description

*"Iave is to Mesmo as Pol is to Jool. Both are geologically active moons that are driven by the tidal forces exerted by their gas giant parents. However, scientists have noticed an abundant number of inactive volcanoes and lava flows on its surface, indicating that Iave has become less active in recent years. Due to influence by other moons of Mesmo, Iave now possesses both a wider and less eccentric orbit than it once did, allowing it to receive much weaker tidal forces from the gas giant. So what are you waiting for? Plan a mission to the (probably) safe giant volcanoes on Iave!"*

## Physical Characteristics

Iave is a Pol-like world orbiting Mesmo, just with less volcanic activity. The moon's orbit has been slowly growing, meaning that the effects of tidal activity are slowing to a near halt. Because of this, its massive shield volcanoes are becoming dormant, and its once large lava seas are starting to cool down.

## Biomes

* Lava Seas
* Volcanic Lowlands
* Volcanic Midlands
* Volcanic Highlands
* Supervolcano
* Volcanic Crater
* Polar Region
Laythe (Tropical)

Laythe (the Tropical Variant)

**Tropical Laythe** is the optional variant of Laythe. Due to past impacts, the water on Laythe was heated and an atmosphere, combined with Jool's tidal forces and high concentrations of salt kept the water liquid. It is the farthest body in the Kerbol System to have liquid water on the surface.

## In-game Description

"*When Laythe was first discovered, it was not entered in the records because the scientist in charge thought he was looking at Kerbin.
Luckily this error was corrected when a plucky intern informed him that telescopes don’t work that way. The intern was shortly afterwards promoted and moved to the experimental rocket testing program."*

## Physical Characteristics

Laythe is a water world dotted by the rims of multiple large craters. It has oxygen present in the atmosphere, but the origin of the oxygen is unknown. Currently, Laythe is the only body in the Kerbol System that supports stable bodies of liquid water on the surface other than Kerbin, and one of 3 places in the Kerbol System that has stable liquids on the surface.

## Possibilities of Life

Laythe has been suspected by many Kerbal Astronomers to host life. However, the high amounts of radiation from Jool would have sterilized the surface, preventing only the hardiest of life to exist on its surface, such as mosses and lichens, if anything. Fortunately, water is a very good protector against harmful radiation, so it may be possible for micro communities to live in the seas.

There is a possibility of life due to the oxygen present in the atmosphere, as oxygen can't exist for long periods of time without being replenished. However, it is also possible that oxygen could be released through abiotic factors rather than through life.

It's theorized that if life existed under the waters of Laythe, it would either be primordial, as in microbial, or in a very early state of evolution, possibly even in a Cambrian explosion period, at most. However, eventually, Laythe will freeze over once again, and when it does, a mass extinction will likely occur, restricting life to hydrothermal vents in the depths of the sea.

## Biomes

* Poles
* Shores
* Crater Island
* Crescent Bay
* Sagen Impact Basin
* Crater Bay
* Crater Rim Peaks
* Crater Midlands
* Crater Lowlands
* Shallow Ocean

## Trivia

* Tropical Laythe likely looked a lot like Icy Laythe before it thawed.
* Although this moon is called "Tropical", the moon itself is actually below freezing.
	+ Tropical Laythe's oceans are comprised of a large fraction of ammonia and dissolved salts mixed into the usual water, allowing it to remain liquid at 254K, or -19C
* Because of the large amount of ammonia, it is possible Laythe could be considered an X-Class world.
	+ Scientists categorized it as E-Class, however, because there isn't enough ammonia in the seas to change the overall properties of the water.
Korlon System

Korlon's planetary nebula

**The Korlon System** consists of a K-type subgiant star (Korlon) nearing the end of its life. The outer layers of the star have already begun to drift off in a brilliant planetary nebula.

The star does not possess any planets in the current stage of the mod.

## History

The Korlon System formed around 4.3 billion years ago out of a cloud of gas and dust slightly larger than the one around Kerbol,

TBA

## Trivia

* As of 0.7, Korlon does not possess any planets. However, planets are planned to be added.
* When Korlon expanded, it destroyed almost all of its inner planets, leaving only outer planets left.
	+ Any planets that were between Korlon and the habitable zone have likely been incinerated.
Thred

**Thred** is a moon of Aurus.

## In-Game Description

"*Thres doesn’t seem to be the most interesting moon of Aurus at first, but a close look and you can see that this moon has a unique past. It is believed that this moon was also very Kerbin-like some time ago, but the growing luminosity of Kerbos combined with tidal froces from Aurus caused the moon to lose its atmosphere and habitability. Effects such as a thin atmosphere and hot climate are commonly observed on planets, but with a gas giant’s large magnetosphere it’s uncommon to find a moon similar to Thred. Scientists urge an exploration of Thred to find out the secrets of its past."*
Kerbos System

**The Kerbos System** is a star system that was introduced in KSS 0.8. It is part of the Kelaris System, which consists of Kelaris, Kirlim, and Kerbos itself.

The star system contains eight planets, seven of which are gaseous. This marks the greatest number of gaseous worlds ever discovered around a single star.

Nelvem

Nelvem

**Nelvem** is an ocean world that is mostly covered in ice, save a liquid ocean hemisphere facing Kelnis. It is the 5th planet in the Kelnis System.

## In-game Description

"*What would happen if Aquel was tidally locked and thrown in orbit around Kelnis? Well, you might get something very similar to Nelvem. Nelvem is an ocean planet with liquid water on one side, and a frozen over ocean hemisphere on the other. Of course, it is recommended to bring a raft with any attempted mission to this planet if landing on ice is out of the question."*

## Physical Characteristics

Nelvem is an ocean world just like Aquel. However, unlike Aquel, Nelvem is tidally locked to its star, Kelnis. Because of this, Nelvem is a two-faced world. The Kelnis-facing side is covered in a hemispheric ocean, while the twilight zones and dark side are covered in cold, hard ice. In addition, Nelvem's oceans are relatively shallow, preventing formation of the compact ice that covers Aquel's ocean floors.

## Atmosphere

Besides the main component of nitrogen gas, Nelvem's atmosphere is composed of a large fraction of carbon monoxide, carbon hexafluoride, chlorine gas, and trace levels of radon gas emitted by decaying substances in Nelvem's oceans.

## Possibilities for Life

When Nelvem was first discovered alongside the other planets in the Kelnis System, Kerbal Scientists had high hopes for a rich and diverse biosphere on Nelvem similar to its sister Ora or the fellow ocean planet Aquel. However, later analysis of the planet's atmosphere and oceans revealed alarmingly high concentrations of sulfuric acid, carbon monoxide gas, and (curiously) radioactive waste products (typically byproducts of nuclear reactions) present on the planet's surface. This renders Nelvem inhospitable to life at present, much to the dismay of exobiologists back home on Kerbin.

However, evidence suggests that Nelvem did once support a thriving ecosystem not unlike the ocean planet Aquel. Oddly, all fossil records end abruptly since a few million years ago, when a drastic environmental change occurred. Rock layers indicate that levels of sulfur, carbon monoxide, and radioactive waste rose sharply at around this time. It is likely that the presence of these toxic materials will prohibit the reemergence of life.

## Biomes

* Cold Ocean
* Ice Cap

## Trivia

* Nelvem is one of the few places in KSS with water, but no plant life
Nessus System

(The Nessus System is currently the Kelar System as of 0.7.2).

The Nessus System is a quadruple star system, the most stars in a single system in the Kermes Cluster.

## Properties

The Nessus System contains one early F-type, one mid K-type, and two M-type stars. It is the only quadruple star system known to exist in the Kermes Cluster.

## Trivia

* The Nessus System is based off of the real life system **30 Arietis**. To keep the system more interesting., Nessus II got a wider orbit around it's primary. Unlike in real life, where the 2 stars orbit very close to each other.
Keron I

Keron I is an F-type star in the Kelios Arm.

## In-game Description

"*Keron I is an F-type star and one of the brightest observed from Kerbin. Although it doesn’t strike the general populous as terribly interesting, it’s the only white star in close proximity to home, making it a prime target and a possibly science-rich location. The star was originally believed to be alone, until a small companion was found orbiting it."*

Kerovos

Kerovos is an A3-type star in the Kelios Arm.

## In-game Description

*"Kerovos is a lone A3-type star orbiting within the Kelios Arm, the band of stars where Kerbol is located. Although the star doesn’t initially appear interesting, it is well known among Kerbal scientists for messing with probes trying to go to other destinations by gravitationally interfering their paths."*

## Phyiscal Characteristics

Kerovos is not a very interesting star. It's just a run of the mill, A-class star, similar to many larger stars in the universe. Scientists aren't really interested in this particular body, but whenever there's some spare funds, a fun pasttime is seeing what body probes could get to via gravitational slingshot from Kerovos. Other than that, nobody really cares about this far away blue ball of flaming plasma.
Avor

Avor

**Avor** is the second planet in the Kelnis System.

## In-game Description

"*Avor may have once been a world more like Kerbin. However, over millions of years, its close proximity to Kelnis led it to becoming much more of an Eve-like world. As a result, Avor is covered in a dense cloud layer and a thick, soupy atmosphere. Visiting Avor would help to learn about its past!"*

## Physical Characteristics

Avor is a planet that once hosted surface temperatures suitable for supporting liquid water. However, as Kelnis exited the protostar stage and began the main sequence, the planet became too hot and irradiated to be called habitable. It underwent a greenhouse effect and is now much more Eve-like today.

## Biomes

* Lowlands
* Midlands
* Highlands
* Tectonic Faults
Irmin

Irmin, with the Kraken's Edge facing near head-on

Irmin is the second moon of Oran. It is also home to the Kraken's Edge, the largest cliff face in the Kerbol System.

## In-game Description

"*Irmin possesses a badly distorted and scarred surface, which may have formed from ancient uplifting and collision forces back when the moon was still partially molten. One of the most exciting destinations on this moon is the Kraken’s Edge, the largest cliff face in the entire Kerbol System. Explore at your own risk."*

## Physical Characteristics

At first glance, most see Irmin as being a drab, featureless moon. Upon closer inspection, however, one can tell that Irmin appears to have been broken apart and smashed back together again. Irmin's most notable feature is the Kraken's Edge, the tallest and longest cliff in the entire Kerbol System. Other strange features can be found around this small moon. It is believed that extreme irregularities in Irmin's composition, tidal forces, and low gravity permitted such extreme terrain features to form when Irmin's surface was still hot and malleable.

## Biomes

Kalaren

Kalaren is an A-type star in the Kelios Arm.

## In-game Description

"*Kalaren is a lone A-type star orbiting within the Kelios Arm, a region of the Kermes Cluster that Kerbol resides in. Although the star lacks any planets, Kalaren is a good star to visit when observing the properties of lone stars."*

## Physical Characteristics

Kelaren is an A-type star, meaning its rather large, at a couple times the mass of Kerbol. Due to this, it's rather hot, yet still around the size of Kerbol, being just around twice its radius, as compared to B or giant stars that can be dozens of times the radius of Kerbol. Due to this, while it would be uninhabitable should a planet live around it, it's still reminiscent of home, making your kerbonauts feel a little better about being lightyears away from home.
Nerus

Nerus is an O-type star in the Nova Arm.

## In-game Description

"*Nerus was the first star to be discovered in the Nova Arm, a region of stars on the other side of the Kermes Cluster. Its bright blue luminosity allows it to be almost visible to the naked eye from Kerbin. Although it’s guaranteed that no planets orbit Nerus, it’s a good idea to visit this rare blue star before its quick lifespan is cut short!"*

## Physical Characteristics

Nerus is a very large and very bright O-type star. These kinds of stars are usually massive, and are many times the mass of Kerbol. These stars live bright and die young, typically only living around 10,000,000 (ten million) years, before exploding in a beautiful and spectacular supernova, and creating a beautiful nebula. Their life isn't over, however, as these stars will continue on as neutron stars or black holes, depending on the mass. Nerus is a lone one of these interesting objects, and so was Kerelus in the past, and scientists are interested in seeing what Nerus is like before its eventual supernova, making it an object of interest to the scientists back home.
Misma

Misma Passing in front of Voon

**Misma** is the second moon of Voon. It is also the smallest body to maintain hydrostatic equilibrium.

## In-game Description

*"Misma, also known as the “eyeball moon”, is a small moon of Voon with a very noticeable impact crater that makes it look somewhat like an eyeball. Misma has just enough mass and gravity to pull itself into a round shape, and nears the border of becoming a potato-shaped asteroid moon."*

## Physical Characteristics

Misma is best known for its striking resemblance to the Death Star from the famous movie franchise, Star Wars. This is because of its huge crater on the side of the moon. Misma also holds the record for being the smallest spherical body discovered. Scientists believe that Misma is one of the shepherds of the rings of Voon, keeping them clean and pristine.

Misma's most well known feature is its Kerschel Crater, a large crater on its prograde side. It likely formed during Misma's formation, and is one of the older craters on the moon.

## Biomes

* Impact Terrain
* Lowlands
* Midlands
* Highlands
* Peaks
* Kerschel Crater

Kormin System

Kormin and its planet, Tide

The **Kormin System** is currently the smallest system in the Kermes Galaxy. It consists of **Kormin**, a brown dwarf (failed star), and its moons/planets.

## History

The Kormin System was created from a rotating disk of dust and gas similar to the one that gave rise to the Kerbol System, but much smaller. The limited amount of hydrogen and helium in the protoplanetary disk meant that the central protostar did not have enough mass to achieve fusion, creating the L class brown dwarf we see today.The leftover material in the disk, mainly carbon and hydrogen, coalesced to form Tide, a carbon planet covered with hydrocarbon oceans, along with Ves, a small asteroid, and Nae, a now dead hydrocarbon world. The system hasn't changed too much since then, but Kormin is slowly cooling down over the course of millions of years. Eventually, it will cool sufficiently for Tide's hydrocarbon seas to freeze over, just as Nae's seas have long ago.

## Properties

Kormin is a brown dwarf. As a result, the habitable zone for planets in this system is extremely close to the parent "star", causing tidal locking and large radiation exposure on the dwarf planet Ves, and the planets Tide and Nae.

## List of Bodies

### **Kormin**

* Ves

* **Tide**
* Nae

## Trivia

* Since Kormin is considered a brown dwarf, which is the borderline between planet and star, Tide, Nae and Ves can also be referred to as moons of Kormin

Micrometeoroid Shield

The **Micrometeoroid Shield** was designed to withstand impacts with the debris between planets and star systems. It can be used for aerobraking.

## Description

*"You never know you need this one when travelling between stars. The Micrometeoroid Shield provides protection between space debris, extreme heat and collisions with UFO's."*

## Characteristics

When interstellar travel was first proposed, kerbal scientists realized that the extreme velocities required to traverse the stars in reasonable time spans made such travel exceedingly dangerous. At relativistic velocities, a collision with a single dust particle could release as much energy as a small nuclear explosion, requiring the invention of advanced shielding to protect interstellar travelers.

Kerbal engineers came up with the Micrometeoroid Shield, which is constructed at the molecular level to dissipate and redirect kinetic and thermal energy from micrometeoroid impacts and cosmic rays. The shield was designed by supercomputers and is constructed out of metamaterials (which are built atom by atom to suit their engineering requirements). The shield also functions similarly to a regular heat shield, since it gets rid of excess heat and energy by shedding ablative materials.
Telim

Telim

**Telim** is an icy world in the Kelnis System. It is also the last planet in the Kelnis System to be in the habitable zone, but it has not yet been confirmed to support any kind of life. Telim is also tidally locked, meaning one side of it always faces Kelnis at all times.

## In-game Description

"*Telim, although technically in the habitable zone of Kelnis, is a world covered in a hard layer of ice. Being tidally locked, the sunlit side is a bit warmer, and might host a subsurface ocean. Nobody will ever know if we don’t send a craft there!"*

## Physical Characteristics

Telim is an icy world known for the large amounts of cracks covering the surface. Many believe that the cracks formed as a result of Telim's past, when it was closer to Kelnis and may have had a global ocean covering it. However, Telim now sits at the outer edge of Kelnis's habitable zone, allowing the cracks to freeze up. Some scientists have theorized about the possible existence of a subsurface ocean in the planet due to tidal forces from Kelnis and subsurface radiation. However, nobody has found evidence of such so far.

## Possibilities of Life

As stated, Telim's surface is inhospitable for life as we know it. However, Telim could have a subsurface ocean larger than all of Kerbin's oceans combined. The presence of organic materials in the cracks also gives proof to Telim's abilities to host life under the surface. No direct evidence of life has been found though.

## Biomes

* Fractures
* Lowlands
* Midlands
* Highlands

## Trivia

* Telim was originally going to be a habitable gas giant, but the latest research on the TRAPPIST-1 System proved that the surface is more likely covered in ice.
Velar

**Velar** is a moon of Mesmo.

## In-Game Description

*"Velar is the farthest and coldest moon of Mesmo, and the most interesting one too. It has some interesting geologic features, mostly in the form of lines moving across the surface. With this along with the near lack of valuable minerals, Velar is one of the better examples scientists use of the presence of other intelligent civilization. Is (or was) there someone else?"*

## Physical Characteristics

Velar is the furthest and coldest moon around Mesmo. Because of this, it makes a great place for colonization, as it is safe from Mesmo's blasting radiation. However, based on the looks of Velar, someone else had the same idea. Velar's surface is covered with large linear features, somewhat resembling cracks or grooves. However, the moon is far too inactive for any sort of tectonic activity, and the atmosphere is too thin for erosion to occur.

Scientists usually try their hardest not to jump to conclusions, but it actually might be aliens this time. Seriously, Velar presents one of those cases where kerbal astronomers are unsure of how to make sense of the data without assuming the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Some of the baffling features of this moon include organized grooves and indentations in the lithosphere, as well as curiously low ratios of helium-3, water ice, iron, uranium, and other valuable resources in the regolith of Velar.

Scans of the moon indicate a possible undiscovered material in the white areas on Velar. Although nobody knows what it does, it's a good idea to investigate what it is.

## Atmosphere

Velar has an atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide (CO₂). However, large amounts of noble gases, such as helium (He) and xenon (Xe) have been found in the lower areas. Other gases have been found in trace amounts, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and various types of greenhouse gases.

## Biomes

* Unknown Deposits
* Half-carved Terrain
* Old Highlands

## Trivia

* Velar is one of the few known Super-Kerbin moons throughout the entire Kermes Cluster.
	+ It is also one of the few celestial bodies that show signs of possible alien interference.
Kiro (Star)

## Kiro

**Kiro** is a K2V type star that the GPP planets will surround if installed. It is in a binary relationship with a smaller M-type star: Krannus.

## In-game Description

"*Among all the other stars Kiro is nothing special, but it's indeed smaller than Kerbin's star, making Gael seem a little far and a little cold. Many of those other stars hold celestial bodies like and unlike the ones here... But how many of them have perfect planets like Gael and Tellumo, to play and snack outside without spacesuits? This is why we have space programs."*

## Habitable Worlds

The Kiro System contains two habitable worlds and one organic world. They are all E-class bodies.

* Gael (Subhabitable)
* Tellumo (Subhabitable)
* Hadrian (Organic)

## Trivia

* Kiro is an analogue of the star Epsilon Eridani
Phal

**Phal** is a moonlet inside of the rings of Mesmo.

## In-game Description

*"Scientists have always wondered how Mesmo has managed to maintain such a beautiful and massive array of rings. What they soon discovered is that there’s a small moon orbiting within the larger ring gap guiding and cleaning them out. Scientists have planned missions there to not only study the environment of the rings but also to get more pictures to hang on their walls."*

## Physical Characteristics

Phal is the only non-spherical moon in the Mesmo Planetary System. It is also the only moon embedded within the rings, meaning that it has developed a flattened appearance, a result of the slow buildup of material on the equator. It acts as a shepherd moon for the massive rings of Mesmo, meaning that it is constantly keeping the rings organized with its gentle gravitational pull.

## Biomes

* Poles
* Temperate Regions
* Highlands
* Impactcraters
Eru

**Eru** is a ringed Dres-sized moon of Ilo.

## In-game Description

"*Eru is the largest moon of Ilo, and a surprisingly unique one too. This moon, although small, fits in just the right spot in Ilo’s orbit to maintain a stable set of faint rings, a property not seen in any other moon. Because of this, kerbals are lining up to get a chance to see the moon with rings!"*

## Physical Characteristics

Eru looks mostly like a dull, boring moon, but it is well known for having a thin set of rings around it, a property only possible on a handful of the moons discovered. This is allowed because Eru sits at a good distance and formed in just the right way for rings to be able to remain stable over long periods of time.
Hetoo

**Hetoo** is a planet in the Nelion System. It is a rather unusual planet because it has a substantial amount of chlorine in its atmosphere and oceans.

## In-game Description

"*Scientists are baffled at surface conditions on planet Hetoo. On one hand, the planet is inhabited by extremophile plant life. On the other hand, the planet is covered in toxic chlorine gas and possesses extreme geological activity. The only thing we know for sure about it is that it’s definitely not made out of lime jell-o, contrary to popular belief."*

## Physical Characteristics

Hetoo is unique in the sense that it is a chlorine planet. It has a chlorine cycle on top of its usual water cycle. Hetoo's seas are mostly made of water, but they have a high concentration of Hydrochloric Acid, a chemical that is highly dangerous to Kerbals.

## Atmosphere

The atmosphere of Hetoo is as toxic as it gets for Kerbals. On top of lung-corroding chlorine gas, the air is also suffused with hydrochloric acid and acid clouds, making Hetoo the last place any Kerbal wants to be found without a helmet besides the vacuum of space itself.

## Life

One of the major reasons Hetoo is so unique is because it has chlorine-based life. It is predicted that during the photosynthesis, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is combined with carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce formaldehyde (CH2O), chlorine (Cl2), and oxygen (O2) using the balanced equation below:

4 HCl + 2 CO2 + energy → 2 CH2O + 2 Cl2 + O2.
It is also predicted that animals drink hydrochloric acid and eat foods rich in formaldehyde. Animals also inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide like they do on Kerbin.

The plant life on Hetoo should have developed a dark green/red color similar to that of Ora or Narath. However, due to the high amounts of chlorine in the atmosphere, the green color of the atmosphere blocks any green light from reaching the surface, causing the plants to absorb light of all frequencies except for green, resulting in a green color. A purple tint to the plants is also possible, and there are regions on Hetoo where purple plant life has also dominated.

Hetoo's land is dominated mostly by coastal rainforests, with more temperate forests in the middle of the continents. The rainforests are made mostly of bulky trees that have to cope with the high gravity and dense atmosphere. The temperate forests are made of relatives to the jungle trees, but are less bulky and more sparsely populated.

The ocean life on Hetoo has to adapt to the harsh conditions of the hydrochloric acid, meaning that the life is mostly made of hardier arthropods that thrive off of whatever falls into the waters.

## Biomes

* Coast
* Lowlands
* Midlands
* Highlands
* Acidic Ocean

## Trivia

* The fact that Hetoo formed with such a high concentration of chlorine in its composition points to the fact that this region of the protoplanetary disk was rich with chlorine compounds during planetary formation.
* Hetoo's large rainforests and suitable conditions (only for chlorine based life) have allowed the biosphere of the planet to become comparable to that of Kerbin.
