Geography 3. Fenrir

FENRIR

The larger gas giant moves between the orbits of its two smaller siblings. Alone it has two thirds of the mass in the system, excluded the yellow star. This planet, named Wotan by the astronomer who first discovered it centuries before the exploring mission was launched, has 31 natural satellites, every one of them a viable possibility for colonization.

During the **** escape, with the number of spaceships dropping from the original hundreds of trillions to a few billion, all possible safe havens got came into consideration. Communication by this point was still enough to the most crucial information reach most the ships still functioning. Sunlight was capable to keep the space predators away, but only inside the atmosphere of some planet or moon large enough to have that.

Among all the colonists those on the red moon of Fenrir are the only ones who endured the first three generations. Or 75 standard years.

The anomalous orbit of Fenrir was responsible for that, certainly. The gas giant never comes between this moon and the star. Fenrir day lasts almost 5 sy, what allowed the colonists here to have their Heliopolis running on the surface at relatively slow velocity.

This satellite is 50% larger than Earth, but 50% more gravity.
