### Infolore

This is a generic world that has not too many interesting things about it, it does not have any unique features besides a storm that revolves around the equator, the stretched out shape of the planet, and an event that happened in the late 1990s when a series of cometoids collided with the planet’s “surface” that left dark spots on the world for 4 months. This world has been the personal project for someone, and where the details of the planet or its moons have not been recorded by CALASE, the person’s personal observations will supplement the missing material. The planet does not have that many events besides that one time between 2006 - 2008 that a small storm appeared next to the previously mentioned major strom, “the purple spot”, a name that gets used a lot. The personal observer of this planet gave the storm the name of “490 years of Suffering”. That is the end of this section.

Aernmenser is a barren terran world, it has the most “usable” land out of the three moons, and is also the driest of the three. During the late 1990s when the cometoids collided with the parent planet, some of them collided with this moon (and the others),, whilst observing the cometoids colliding with the planet and the moons, the personal observer was able to analyze the the debris before it fell, he was able to detect trace amounts of carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, this potentially means that if lucky enough that the cometoids’ materials were kept mostly intact and there was some sort of life on the cometoids (which there was also some small signs of which), than this moon might have had its journey of evolution begin, panspermia, though we do not know as it has not been long enough for life to evolve, and most likely the life was destroyed along with the cometoids that housed them, though it is a fun concept to think about where the potential life on this world becomes self aware and realizes that they came from a comet that had an unlucky trajectory.

This moon is also noted as resembling a traditional barren terra, with the color palette of blue, tan, white, brown, and gray (absent from this world), and thus this world is one of the examples given for “Dry Lifeless Terras”, though like many other lifeless terras, the weather is not exactly dead, the personal records of the observer list most of the icy cyclones that exist on this world, the data shows that most of the storms here are small in size, only reaching a Maryland in size most of the time, though the largest one, recorded during the Winter, and Summer for the northern hemisphere of this world, was recorded at around the size of Texas, it lasted for around 2 - 3 weeks and went across the northern end of this world’s largest continent. A map will be provided with the continent names and the paths of all the hurricanes recorded on this world. Lastly, this world can see the other two moons (like those other two moons), and it creates some somewhat beautiful views.

Beanerozen is the second moon out of the three main majors. This moon is similar to the first moon, except it is much colder. Snowfall has been observed on this world, and glaciers the size of Scandinavia spread down to the equator. The warmest temperature ever recorded on this world is 10.2 degrees Celsius, and it was recorded during the summer of the NH. This moon has ice lines that come very close to the equator, and the dry landmass is covered in sleet and snow for 70% of the year. This unfortunately makes it a little difficult to determine where all the landmasses are exactly, but over time we have figured out where they are exactly. This world has a deadly atmosphere despite its inviting blue color, just like the other moons. Large blizzard cyclonic-like storms are regular here, and during the winter months, the entire planet can be covered in them, although it is short-lived because all the water turns into solid ice. Though the moon may be a hostile landscape, it too could support life. The cometoids that were mentioned earlier hit this moon (though to a lesser degree), with some of them falling into the ocean, while only two crashed onto land.

If even some of the fragments survived, and the bacteria in the ocean depths are able to survive down there (perhaps near some hydrothermal vents), life could also be kickstarted on this moon. However, it has a lower chance due to the colder temperatures, but there is a possibility. Speaking of which, if life does evolve here, how could it evolve? While this is speculation on top of speculation, we can make some general predictions on how life would be on this moon. For example, thanks to life starting off near hydrothermal vents, there might be a species of plant-like organism that lives on this world, living off the vents, having stalk-like structures with roots that absorb potential nutrients and real thermal heat. There could also be a species of fish that evolves to be photosynthetic, feeding off ocean-bottom bacteria and algae. This species of fish would hibernate during the months of the year when blizzards and other sun-blocking events occur. Life on this moon would be confined to the oceans and would not venture onto land unless the conditions become warmer. Despite the frozen nature of this moon and the possibility of life on it and how it could evolve, there is not much else about this moon worth discussing. Let's move on to the next and final terra moon around the major planet.

Cenardeorst is the third and final terra moon around the gas giant. It is also the most oceanic and potentially habitable, although the term 'habitable' should be used lightly, given the presence of H2S and NH3 in its atmosphere. There is a possibility that life might start here in the near future, as 4-5 cometoids collided with the moon, and they may have survived the impact, falling into the empty ocean, a more suitable environment for life than the land. This moon is the warmest of the three, with an average temperature of 8.91 degrees Celsius, making it comparatively more habitable than the other two moons. Cenardeorst has relatively small amounts of ice, featuring a small southern ice cap and no northern ice cap. Blizzards here are less common, replaced by more typical storms that cover most of the moon. The higher temperature and potential habitability of this moon are attributed to the numerous volcanoes on this world. These eruptions and volcanic plumes have increased the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

There could be two reasons for this phenomenon. It might be due to tidal forces (although this is unlikely given its position), or it could be the result of significantly higher tectonic activity, leading to the widespread presence of volcanoes. Sea levels are also higher on Cenardeorst, most likely due to the previously mentioned volcanoes. The oceans have a reddish color, which may suggest the possibility of life in these waters that we have yet to discover, or it could be due to elevated levels of iron in the oceans. This abundance of iron might make the formation of life easier, as iron is essential for various chemicals in proteins and enzymes, which are crucial for life. Cenardeorst stands out among the other moons because it experienced an asteroid impact in the early 1990s. This asteroid was about 0.72 times the size and mass of the one that caused the dinosaur extinction and crashed into the moon's ocean. It caused a temporary winter that lasted around three years from '93 to '96. The asteroid's crater is not visible in any images of the moon, but some fragments from the asteroid also collided with the other moons. However, these fragments were small and did not have any significant impact on those moons.

### Moons

(This category seems a bit redundant but owell.) The moons of this planet are interesting, but not interesting outside of the terras, the rest are barren rocks that have no interesting qualities on their own. The only notable thing out here is that one of the cometoids landed on the first non-terra major moon and created a small crater on its surface, this crater has been named by PO as “Balley’s crater”. There is one small asteroid moon that is the first non-major moon that exists before the orbit of Aernmenser. Like any other regular moon system around a gas giant, it has a dwarf moon cloud, and the total number of moons in this cloud is around 38.

### Star system

The star system that this gas giant orbits is a 10 planet system (- 2 because 2 of them are dwarf planets), and the system orbits a solitary star, a G 5.5 III star. There are 2 gas giants, 1 ice giant, and 7 terrestrial planets. As per usual the system has an oort cloud, but for some reason does not have an asteroid belt.
