The Fos System
Fos is a yellow star located in the Pinwheel galaxy. Amarthia is the fourth planet from the sun, although older cosmological models list it as the third. This is because Amarthia’s “moons” were recently reclassified as unique planetoids in geosynchronous orbit with the Amarthia.

Amarthia
You Are Here.
The fourth planet in the Fos System, and the only one with an atmosphere capable of sustaining carbon-based lifeforms. Amarthia is slightly bigger than Earth, but nearly equal in mass, producing nearly identical gravity.
The name originates from a forgotten culture in what is now the Aizlgeist, but its meaning—Home—is still recorded.
Druna
Amarthia’s “day moon”. Druna is actually a planetoid locked in geosynchronous orbit with Amarthia, and the third planet in the Fos System. It is close enough to appear as a disc trailing the sun during daylight hours. Most scientific models state that Druna should not be able to maintain its distance and orbit in relation to Amarthia, but observation clearly proves otherwise. Druna never fully eclipses Fos, although it will cover 75% of the sun during the month of Scorpem. It appears brightest during the month of Mae.
Druna appears to have no atmosphere, and the surface is a burnt orange color, which is pale when viewed from Amarthia. Due to the great distance separating the planets—and the current state of Amarthia’s various space programs—it is uncertain what elements cause this coloration, but it is assumed to be high concentrations of iron.
Midori
Amarthia’s “night moon”. Like its daytime cousin Druna, Midori is a small planetoid in geosynchronous orbit with Amarthia, and the fifth planet in the Fos System. Shortly after sunset it will appear as a disc in the night sky. Midori has no atmosphere and appears to share seasonal shifts with Druna. It is brightest during the month of Scorpem and mostly eclipsed during the month of Mae.
No relation to the alcohol, I swear…but it is a pale green color.
