Description
Hello there, before starting, this is a system very focused on realism and visuals, so to appreciate them, be sure to land on some planets you find interesting for a great view!

Tarto
A K-type star that has around itself many roaming planets, each one with different properties, some having moons, some orbiting lonely around the gigantic star.

Scarch: The closest planet to Tarto and also the hottest, the planet is a scorched landscape with temperatures ranging from 800 to 1000 celsius. If it had an atmosphere, it was probably blown away by the deadly solar storms that it is constantly hit with due to the proximity to its parent star. Scarch glows hot, from the other planets, it can seem like a second star, when it is in fact, a planet.

Pyral: The second planet, also very close to Tarto, it has a rotation period similar to the time it takes to revolve around the star, this makes it almost tidally locked, meaning one side will be, for months, extremely hot, while the other side is frigid cold.

Marteus: The third planet, although further from the star than Pyral is, Marteus is hotter, due to the presence of a powerful greenhouse effect, coming from its high-pressure atmosphere, lingering around 21 bar. Behind it, there can be seen volatiles coming from its atmosphere, as it is slowly being blown away by the star.
- Salibre: A small moon with a very eccentric orbit around Marteus, it constantly flybys beside it, which causes it to absorb some of the volatiles from Marteus’ atmosphere, it has a great view of the planet.

Amatis: The fourth planet, with 60% the size of Earth, has seas of water, however, there is liquid carbon dioxide dissolved into the water, causing it to become toxic. Above the sea, there’s a deep, deadly fog made of cooled carbon dioxide that covers the seas. It also has powerful tides, due to the mass and proximity of its only moon.
- Cloxia: A moon very similar to that of Earth’s, in appearance and size, seems to have originated during a collision between Amatis and Onsula.

Onsula: The fifth planet, although similar to Earth, it has a stronger gravity, causing the native vegetation to be very shallow, or be huge in size to support the gravity. Its tides are deadly and life has a hard time adapting to it due to its powerful rains, in which gallons of water can rain down into the surface in a matter of minutes. There’s not much fauna due to this exact reason, as they suffocate due to the absence of oxygen during the event. Its three moons were formed during the ancient collision with planet Amatis.
- Iono: The first moon of Onsula, bigger and closer than the Moon, it causes deadly tides and gravity pulls to its parent planet, it is a geologically active planet, which causes “scars” of previous gigantic volcanoes.
- Glassier: An asteroid moon made of nothing but glass, with a small solid core made of iron and silicate, due to this, it reflects a lot of light and has a high albedo.
- Amberon: A moon with a red and thick atmosphere, made majorly of methane and ammonia, with a unknown layer of underground ice, if that was to resurface, the planet has enough temperature to bear liquid water, since its surface temperature is just above 1 celsius.

Horta: The sixth planet, a carbonia world with thin, but pretty rings made of silicate, probably resultant of the formation of its only moon, Morcin. The planet has oceans of liquid carbon dioxide, with a small amount of water dissolved into it.
- Morcin: A distant moon from Horta that possesses oceans of ammonia, its landscape is mostly flat.

Eldio: The seventh planet, a gas giant with almost four times the gravity of Earth, it is mostly made of water, ice and vapor, and also some methane, giving it its contrasting blue clouds. It is home to many of the moon around it.
- Bloon: The first moon of Eldio, a frozen landscape of solid water and nitrogen, it has a pretty view of Eldio and a thin atmosphere.
- Ecert: The second moon of Eldio, a sparse rocky world with its landscape filled with mountains and anomalies on its geology, is geologically active, having many living volcanoes spread across its surface. And the agglomerates, where these volcanoes can be seen from space.
- Ravvin: The third moon of Eldio, a barren world full of surface anomalies and huge ravines.
- Loyth: The fourth moon of Eldio, a toxic ocean world, its atmosphere is, even though at this distance, is kept by its high pressure atmosphere and the intense heat of its core.
- Entemporal: The fifth moon of Eldio, a world filled with a giant ocean of methane, that at the temperature of this moon, turns liquid, however, there are powerful electric discharges due to the polarity between its surface and the sky, resulting in powerful storms.
- Mati: The fifth moon of Eldio, this was once a barren, airless world, but the volatiles coming from Entemporal, mostly nitrogen and ammonia, landed on this planet and made its thin atmosphere.

Polir and Pilor: The eighth and ninth planets, these binary gas giants, both huge in mass dance around each other, as they harbor around them a giant moon system that is rather unstable.
- Verdemun: The first moon, a tropical world that is heated by the tidal forces of both the gas giants, making possible life on this moon. The world is deemed habitable, but it may be uncomfortable due to the amount of vapor in the air.
- Litat: The second moon, a moon with frozen water on its surface, and its surface is barren, like a cold desert, as the wind blows away forming, sometimes, cold sandstorms.
- Ello: A rugged, heavily cratered moon with dark and bright patches, giving it a scarred and ancient appearance.

The desc limit stops me here, enjoy the rest of the objects!

Some little lore I'm working on.

is that the moon from iron lung?

So this was the system I've been looking at all along
