Uwele

Uwele is a garden planet orbiting the star Rwaano in the Triangulum Galaxy. The Whari hail from here- a member species of the United Vannah Planets.

Characteristics
The planet Uwele orbits 0.43AUs from a K4V-class star.

Size
The diameter of the planet is 19,400km. It has a mass of 3.7 Earth masses and so a density slightly above Earth's. The planet's surface gravity is 1.6g.

Dynamics
Days here are 30.9 hours long. Uwele takes 124 days to revolve around Rwaano and has a stable axial tilt of 5.4 degrees.

Composition
The crust of Uwele is 43.4% oxygen, 29.8% silicon, 7.2% aluminium, 7.1% iron, 3.2% titanium, 2.3% calcium, 2.2% magnesium, and the remainder other elements.

Surface
Water covers 49% of Uwele's surface. The average global temperature is 11 degrees centigrade. There are two large ice caps, the northerly of which covers a continent.

Atmosphere
Uwele's atmosphere is 81.3% nitrogen, 17.6% oxygen, 1.6% argon, and the remainder is other gases. The pressure at sea level is 2.9 bars.

Satellites
The large moon of Uwele is named Uom. It is a moon of 0.5 Earth masses, which holds on to a nitrogen atmosphere with hints of oxygen. Much of it is covered in ocean, and cyanobacteria-like life lives on its surface. The enormous volcanic eruptions upon its surface can be seen from Uwele.

Uom causes extreme tides.

Ecosphere
Uwele is host to a vibrant ecosphere. 76% of the land area is covered by temperate forest.

Inhabitants
The Whari are native to this world. Cities of millions are present.
