//////Name: Andraste
/////Subject: Planet – Gas Giant
////Location: Epsilon Eridani - second gas giant
///Geography: Andraste is easy to describe on Lucifers advice; there is gas, like, a ton of gas. I mean we're literally talking about enormous amounts of gas here. Its land mass it’s close to none, and the only crawling and disturbed core of this mini, failed husk, tries desperately to get things going on the hypothetical surface, with the hot metals and minerals of its.
Andraste takes around 2354 earth days to cross the space in a perfectly circular orbit, whilst spinning at a doubtlessly low velocity around its own axis. It has two moons, both of them inhabited by the Federation of Lucifer.
//Atmosphere: The atmosphere of Andraste is particularly dense, composed mostly of Hydrogen (H2 87%), helium (He 12%) and other minor gases (like methane 0.87% and ammonia 0.12%). The composition of the clouds varies with depth and increasing pressure. In the upper layers, with a temperature ranging between 100–160 K ,the clouds consist mostly of ammonia ice. The inner layers are instead composed of helium and hydrogen, at 290–235 K temperatures. The winds often create heavy storms, whose monthly courses are highly prevedible and generate great wealth for the tourist stations orbitating around Andraste.
/Fauna: N/a
Other: There are currently eight known orbital stations around Andraste, six of which are mere commercial and touristic piers. Of the left three, two are exploiting colonies, and one is the second orbital center of the DRAMA, currently under construction.
This planet is also well known for its wonderful rings, claimed by the royalty and nominated ‘human natural patrimony’, thus preventing its legal exploitation. To sustain the control measurements of its state, the government has funded a monthly cruise liner to visit the natural oddity. Thanks to this, and thanks to the ‘field AI’, capable of remembering over ten billions particles in a 3D field, the Central monarchy can both keep track of the rings and produce a small profit at the same time.
//////Name: Lucifer
/////Subject: Planet - Moon
////Location: Epsilon Eridani - Andraste
///Geography: Originally a barren planet, though very active, and self sustaining. It has been analyzed that Lucifer has an inner structure incredibly similar to that of earth, with an inner core divided in two sections; moreover it has been calculated that its surface is around 2/5 of the earth’s one. The main difference between the two geological environments is the core, whose minor activity generates only a mild gravity field, almost incapable of keeping a constant environment, thus making the temperatures on the surface variate largely. After initial analysis, it was discovered that the surface of the moon was full of mountains (but without traces of streams or lakes, having never been water on it), whose genealogy is still being analyzed. The poles are really different from each other: whilst the northern one is never irradiated by solar rays, the southern one results being the hotter location on the moon.
Today Lucifer has undergone four hundreds of years of terraformation, and despite the numerous wars that had scarred the population and the planet itself, today Lucifer can slightly be considered like the old earth, having the ‘Spyres’ created an electromagnetic field which engages and creates a better and larger atmosphere.
The concept of ‘year’ has radically evolved from the old days of earth-centrism. Now that the human race was no more on a planet, but a satellite depending on a larger mate, for year is commonly intended the time which the moon spends orbiting around the gas giant. It takes 25 days of 36 hours to circle vertically (due to the perpendicular orbit on respect of Andraste’s one) around the gas giant, and thanks to this is possible to look at the big and overwhelming surface of the neighbor around eighteen hours a year*. An another reason adducted for such innovative way of calculating time can be derived from the time Andraste needs to do a complete circle around Epsilon Eridani: around 2354 earth days. Being Andraste orbit perfectly circular around the star, the effects of its movements across the cosmos change really little for Lucifer; or at least, decisedly less than how much does the moon’s orbit itself.
//Atmosphere: The atmosphere of Lucifer was originally thin and scarred. Being no actual ozone strate present (or any other kind of so resistant gas) to protect the land, sustaining life was practically impossible, as the satellite was constantly irradiated by strong solar ultraviolets. Originally, most of the moon’s atmosphere was composed of thin strates of oxygen, and other minor gases, but after the radical terraforming changes the moon undergone, today the moon can perfectly sustain life.
The atmosphere is very earth-like, though climates are really restricted to the temperate and boreal ones.
/Fauna: Several peculiar dead bacteria were found inside the original ice of the moon, which will be the protagonists of the 'Hazardous leak'.

//////Name: Eris
/////Subject: Planet - Moon
////Location: Epsilon Eridani - Andraste
///Geography: A barren and dead moon, with a core whose only capabilities are a slow rotation motion. The surface is cospiciously furrowed by the violent landings of meteors, which created huge craters. However, this natural formations helped the first colonists in building more easily their town-domes, thanks to the deep holes in the ground, necessary for the underground sustainment facilities.
//Atmosphere: There’s no atmosphere, and gravity is kept dare to anyone. Every city built here has elaborated underground facilities to furnish the population with an artificial and local gravity field. This total absence increases the damage brought by wandering asteroids and meteorites, whose impact is much bigger and dangerous than normal. However, since the conquest of the Liberal Democratic Socialists governments by Queen Lilia II, the surface has undergone radical changes and terraforming, to sustain planetary protection artillery against asteroids, and great artificial fields facilities.
Inside the town-domes (most of which of elliptical shape) are present around 15 earth-like biome varieties, and its impossible to find genetically mutated conifers and spruces. As well as mutated humans.
