## **Orbital Constructs**

### **Byzantos Ringworld**

The **Byzantos Ringworld** is the most prominent and notable structure orbiting the world of Aziel, serving as a massive population center and tourism area, with the markets of commerce and industry going to great lengths since its construction.

The environment of the Byzantos Ringworld is very similar to that of Aziel, as it was originally intended for Humans to inhabit. However, as intergalactic tourism started getting popular in Cosmoria, the Byzantos Ringworld has been repurposed into many sections, with dense jungles and grasslands being scattered about its' surface. Since then, the use of advanced climate control systems and biotechnology have allowed most major species to live in the Byzantos Ringworld with no issues.

## **Major Moons**

### **Cadonia**

**Cadonia** is the biggest major moon orbiting Aziel, and the closest. Cadonia was once a rocky moon with no atmosphere and devoid of any life, but since it's terraformation in 56520 CE it has become a lush tropical world modeled after the more peaceful tropical areas of Aziel. Many species of both flora and fauna have been imported directly from Aziel to Cadonia, including Sand Darts and Sailphin. Cadonia's populace of ten billion inhabitants lives in various cities scattered around it's endless forests and plains. Artificial gravity generators have been placed everywhere on Cadonia, to make it more survivable. Cadonia also contains a small subsurface ocean, which was devoid of any life before the introduction of various highly adaptable deep sea species like Caerulaen Spinefish and Caerulaen Ghostrays.

### **Borealtum**

**Borealtum** is the farthest major moon of Aziel. Borealtum itself is a captured moon from the outer Auralumina System. This factor, also combined with a high albedo means that the frigid moon is completely engulfed by water-ice and snow. Borealtum, even though it is seemingly not fit for habitation, the temperatures are very much survivable, and even has a breathable atmosphere with the pressure on the surface being 0.87 Atm. These properties, and of course liquid water which is present in small lakes frozen on top, which are frequent on the moon have given rise to an ecosystem of live thriving across the moon. From eight-legged arachnids to canine snow beasts, there's no shortage of life.

As such, Borealtum was the second moon of Aziel to be colonized, and it's population of a hundred billion rivals even some of the biggest colony worlds. Most of the massive populace lives in the deep subsurface oceans of Borealtum, with all of the deep-sea habitats having almost instantaneous elevators to the surface. The deep-sea population also doesn't have to worry about deep sea monsters, as the most advanced species of fauna are currently microbes, which do not present a threat at all. While not so rich in population, the cities on the surface of Borealtum offer a spectacular view of Aziel and it's many moons.

### **Messoria**

**Messoria** is the third and last major moon of Aziel, and is as of currently considered the most inhabitable one. While it has an atmosphere perfectly suitable for carbon-based life, and even oceans of liquid water, frequently Messoria is obscured for days by massive ravaging sandstorms often covering the sky and not allowing any light to penetrate through the atmosphere onto the surface. This is the main factor as to why there is nearly no plant life on the surface. The larger bodies of water like oceans and seas aren't affected by the sandstorms, and as a result they are filled with life in some parts.

Even with these dangerous factors, many cities are constructed on Messoria, all domed by massive shields. In total the moon has an estimated population of ten billion. However when first set foot on in the year of 87,052 CE, it was originally planned to be a mining colony. Once, Messoria suffered from a war ten years after settlement which is now known as the Battle of Messoria, which engulfed the moon in total warfare for political reasons. After the war which lasted four years finally ended in pecie, Messoria became a major hub of trade, along with a high amount of technology being imported to Aziel and other worlds.

## **Minor Moons(TBD)**

### **Erazium**

    **Erazium** is the first natural satellite of Aziel, and the biggest with a diameter of forty five kilometers

### **Kyrlis**

    **Kyrlis** is the fourth natural satellite of orbiting beyond Messoria, and the second dwarf moon. Much alike the other dwarf moon of Secrenium, Kyrlis was formed when a massive asteroid collided with the major moon of Cadonia. It is a larger than average asteroid comprised primary of rocks, with trace amounts of iron, with a diameter of fifty kilometers. Kyrlis has a small mining station bolted to the moon, extracting precious resources. In three thousand five hundred years the entire small moon is estimated to be entirely mined.
