Drakenos

Drakenos is a super-earth orbiting the star Salamandra in the Illias Sector of the Triangulum Galaxy.

Characteristics
This planet orbits at a distance of 1.23AUs from its star. It is a rocky terrestrial planet.

Size
As it has a mass of just over four Earth masses and a diameter of 18,500km, the planet's density is over 1.3 times that of Earth. It has a surface gravity of 1.9g.

Dynamics
Taking 457 standard days to orbit its sun, Drakenos has an axial tilt of 1.9 degrees and a long day of 36.9 hours, stabilised by its moon.

Composition
Drakenos' crust consists of 45% oxygen, 23% silicon, 10% iron, 8% aluminium, 4% titanium, 3% calcium, 3% magnesium, and the remainder other elements.

Surface
9% of the surface of Drakenos is covered by water. It has no ice caps and a mean surface temperature of 41 degrees centigrade.

Atmosphere
The atmospheric composition of this planet is 92% nitrogen, 7.8% oxygen, 0.1% argon, and the remainder other gases including a significant amount of carbon dioxide. The pressure at sea level is 11 bars.

Satellites
Drakenos has a large moon, Pyvaros, which orbits at 460,000km.

Ecosphere
The majority of the surface of Drakenos is only habitable to microbes in the long term. However, the seas and their surrounding forests are home to animal and complex plant life.

Inhabitants
The Incendyn have constructed several large cities on the planet's surface, mining the crust for water and resources, with space fountains constructed nearby for easy orbital transfer.
