Gargitarius Black Hole System

The Gargitarius System

Nova Arcalis: The star is a bright white bluish burning sphere of energy, it orbits one of the most unnerving and mysterious forces of the universe, a black hole. It is the less affected by the black hole’s gravity.
Horios: Horios is the first planet of Nova Arcalis, being tidally locked to its parent, one side of it melts into outer space, while the other stays as cooled as the universal temperature.
Dask & Dusk: Dask and Dusk are twin planets, originated from one, bigger body, that was ripped apart by an explosion caused by a collapse of a star. Now, they dance around each other, heating both of their faces.
Tilt: This almost 90° angled planet has one of the strangest orbits of the entire system, its atmosphere is mostly composed of chlorine and sulfur gases. It has a thin ring, and between them lies a very ‘light’ moon.
> Halt: The only moon of Tilt. This moon doesn’t have enough gravity to hold all the material that makes its surface, causing it to from time to time break off material into Tilt’s orbit, forming thin rings.
Windshed: This planet was once habitable, but due to extreme radiation impacts, their climate was entirely changed to a hostile environment, where winds can reach incredible speeds, sufficient to take entire buildings down. It also has insane temperatures; due to the greenhouse effect it takes. It has a single moon, that affects a lot Windshed’s gravity.
> Warchool: The only moon of Windshed. It has no land to be seen, only an ocean entirely made from alcohol. It also possesses an oxygenated atmosphere, which causes eventual fires on the planet’s ocean, due to its ocean being incredibly inflammable. They can dissipate in hours to months depending on the intensity.
Grande’ol: The last planet orbiting Nova Arcalis. This is the biggest and most massive planet of the entire system, and still, it remains rocky, being so a ‘super-earth’. Its gravity is very strong and causes the planet to have mostly of a flat surface. The grand gravity also makes it possess a lot of moons.
> Smalle’ol: The first moon of Grande’ol. This moon is being shed to minor parts, due to the gravitational forces caused by its parent, the surface is erupting as it reaches orbit, forming a thin but visible ring around Grande’ol.
> Emperaxia: The second moon of Grande’ol. This moon is habitable and has purple vegetation, also having intelligent life within it, that have already reached outer space. Their creatures (called Empers) are of most pacific and search for diplomatic actions with their neighbours, Expers. The current civilization is with war with another one from a moon.
> Coppa: The third moon of Grande’ol. This moon is mostly made of copper, the material has become green, even not having an oxygenated atmosphere, it actually doesn’t even have an atmosphere. This implies that the moon could’ve had an atmosphere with oxygen in the past.
> Expellium: The fourth moon of Grande’ol. The second moon to be considered habitable. It has an exclusive material called “expellium” concentrated in oceans and land, it doesn’t absorb heat very well, cooling the moon. The moon is mostly composed of ammonia, having intelligent creatures, called Expers, to road among the lands. They are also intelligent enough to reach outer space. They are very more aggressive and do not search for diplomatic ways with their neighbours, Empers. The material “expellium” is also very combustive and has an insane destructible potential.
> Baraja: The fifth moon of Grande’ol. This moon is very sandy, and its entire biome is a huge desert, having hot days and cold nights. It’s also extremely massive, being even more heavy than the Earth.
> Horto: The sixth and last moon of Grande’ol. It is the coldest body in the entire system, caused by the extremely dense and not heatable atmosphere present on its surface. It has almost the same properties as Titan but doesn’t possess any oceans of any kind.
Moving to interstellar space… we have little, but great star systems, orbiting a huge black hole.
Sunos: a middle-aged star, that has almost the same properties as the Sun. By being too close to the black hole, it doesn’t have as many planets as it could, as the gravitational forces caused by it are not strong enough to hold the planets.
Satira: The first planet of Sunos. It is the biggest and most massive planet of the entire system, it does not have a solid surface, due to a recent collision, its surface has spread into burning lava, as it cools to form coherent continents.
The Art: An only anomaly orbiting Sunos. Being a derivative of ‘The Draw’ something unnerving lies beneath the dark clouds that hides it. The rings around it are made of an unknown composition.
Baryplanet: Being habitable, some creatures roam across the surface, however, as time passes, an evolutionary failure has caused their brain to degenerate, causing them to lose and misunderstand their own creations. This is leading them to their extinction. It has an only, but dense moon, called Julio.
> Julio: This dense moon causes its parent to form a barycenter with it. It has this name because the natives named it in the name of… something they forgot.
In an even distant, but yet close star system, lies a brown dwarf orbiting close to the black hole, so close that it can now be clearly seen.
Thrill: It is a brown dwarf, being the most affected “star” by the black hole, it has a single planet, and a piece of rock orbiting it.
Charck: The only planet of Thrill. Being too close to the star, made its surface to be tidally locked, the tidally locked part has a deep crater, making it look like an eye, eternally staring at its parent, it also has traces of frozen water in the crater.
Traveller: A piece of rock orbiting Thrill. Some even question how it is even orbiting the brown dwarf at this point, its orbit is so unusual that it is practically impossible that the black hole hasn’t captured it. Yet here it is.
Now, the force that reckons above all, the mystery of a place that not even light can escape, Gargitarius.
Gargitarius: A extremely dense black hole, having some strange planets orbiting it, the extreme gravity causes its planets to make a full orbit around it in mere hours or minutes. It has been some time since it took apart a star, as the accretion disk is not as heated as it should be.
All: The first planet orbiting Gargitarius. By being so close to the black hole and the accretion disk, the planet’s surface is getting ripped apart, but at the same time being held together by its gravity. Its surface has flowing lava, that form scratches along it, time goes very different near this planet. It orbits its parent in only three hours.
Taht: This Earth-sized planet has very, very powerful explosions deep below its surface, causing the upper crust the explode, creating huge craters and lava flows visible from outer space. The black hole could’ve been causing this deep explosion, but it is not confirmed. The explosions cause Carbon Monoxide to be thrown into the atmosphere.
Remain: This Super-Earth is entirely covered by a shallow water at some spots and has deep oceans in others. The gravitational forces of its parent cause immense waves the form, such waves can travel the entire planet before they settle down. The atmosphere is very proper for life, but the preservation from disasters has not let life to develop. It has a great view of the black hole.
Devoid: The fourth and last planet of Gargitarius. Probably the best alternative for life to develop, it has the perfect atmosphere for humans to habituate and is not as affected gravitationally as other planets are by their planet. It also has a stunning view of Gargitarius, as it orbits it in just two days, the settling of the craters remembers a screaming face.
