Solar System

Here is the Nautiloid Solar System. Its sun Au, is a red dwarf star 1/3 the size of Earth's sun. Not shown (but shown in the Planet Spore Galaxy chart) is a blue giant which is 8,000 Light Years away. To put ti in perspective Since it is so huge it will appear to be 3 times the size of out sun in the Nauceanica sky while the home star Au will appear as only about 1/4 due to its size and distance. Thus most of the solar radiation actually comes from the Blue Giant rather than the Red Dwarf.

This solar system contains 8 planets, 4 terrestial, 3 gas giants and one out rim planet/moon. There are also 21 moon on 5 of the planets. These planets include;

Planets
Vari the closest to Au and the fastest orbit. It is the smallest planet.

Oro is the 2nd planet from Au and is a scorched planet with no atmosphere either. Its is slightly smaller than Nauceanica and has one scorched moon, Fati. However it is very volcanic due to the pull of its moon shifting the molten plates around.

Whrio is the 3rd planet from Au and is a greenhouse planet much like Venus. It has no moons.

Nauceanica is a tropical ocean planet where the Nauceans live. It has two moons, Serina and Sina. The moons make for great tides and the planet its self is moderately volcanic. The moons however are not volcanic.

Quat is the largest planet in the solar system. This takes most of the hits from asteroids and commets that would hit the inner solar system. It has 8 moons but only the largest Hana, Hina and Mahina have been seen by the Nauceans thus they are the only ones named.

Laka is alot like Saturn in that it has huge rings. It also has 6 moons but only 2 have been seen/named, Roua and Tanonoul.

Longo is the smallest of the gas giants. It has one small ring and 4 moons but only 3, Uri, Areop and Keha have been seen/named.

Lastly the planet/moon Po is a small cold iceball which actually melts when it gets closer to the Blue Giant near by. Durring this time it blooms with single cell life. Then in the colder times it is solid ice and the cells go dormant. Sadly nothing beyond single cells can survive here.

Seasons
Due to its weak home sun and huge neighboring sun this creates quite an interesting situation. The season work like this...

1st Quarter of the Year - Hottest Day with 2 suns in the sky, Darkest Nights.

2nd Quarter of the Year - Hot Day Blue Giant, Long Twilight Night, Warm Red Dwarf Day, Short Twilight Night

3rd Quarter of the Year - Hot Day Blue Giant, Medium Twilight Night, Warm Red Dwarf Day, Medium Twilight Night

4th Quarter of the Year - Hot Day Blue Giant, Short Twilight Night, Warm Red Dwarf Day, Long Twilight Night

(Or something like that)

Old World


Here is a map of the Naucean known world (may add more in the Eastern Hemesphere).

Ea Ocean The Global Ocean which is unpopulated by the Nauceans because of such deep water.

Apsu Sea The Naucean "Cradle of Civilization". They are the original tribe of the nauceans and all tribe trace their roots to them. Its a shallow sea full of undersea vents. This is perfect for underwater metallurgy. It also has alot of coral reefs due to its shallowness. These too are keep for toolmaking.

Adad Bay Currently an uninhabited bay that has yet to be populated by the Nauceans. Though the water is a bit deeper than the Apsu Sea. However this bay is rich in natural gas.

Shutu Coast This coast is full of hurricanes and is very windy due to the mixture of the West and East Winds colliding. So much so that the Jungle tribe has moved more inland to the jungle rather than being a coastal tribe.

Beletseri Desert The dryest part of the planet. This region gets very little rain despite it touching the Apsu Sea. This is however the home of the desert tribe. They live only along the river that comes down from the North.

Ninsun Plains This is the home of the Grassland tribe. They are always at war with the River tribe, Desert Tribe and Mountain Tribe over this precious farmland. It is not to hot like the jungles or desert but are not to cold like the Mountains.

Ennugi Forest This is the home of the popular River tribe. It is full of temprate palms and tall bamboo-like grasses. However it is to luch for large scale farming like the grasslands. Despite other tribes living by rivers this tribe is the only tribe to actually have home in the river. Which is why they are not called the Forest tribe, though they could be.

Tammzu Jungle This very lush and wet jungle are so extensive that the jungle tribe has only populated only a faction of it. The deeper you go the smaller the Jungle tribe gets in height.

Dumuzi Swamp This is home to the swamp tribe. Due to no solid land or completely clear water they constantly build mud homes. Despite their love of the earth they are still very much aquatic like the river and ocean tribes.

Amurru Mountains This is home to both the Mountain and the Cave tribes. The Mountain tribe lives above on the icy land while the Cave tribe live deep within the caves full of water and glowing lichen. The cave tribe originally came from the Mountain tribe but went underground after the Grassland Tribes worst battle. Those who stayed are the current Mountain tribe.

New World


Naucean is a tropical planet with large oceans. There is one main continent, Upelluri and 3 smaller ones Adapa, Island of the Swamp Tribe, Ninkasi a small volcanic island in the middle of the Ea Ocean, and Utu a large island in which is colonized in the Imperial Age. Utu has jungles, plains, swamps, mountains and even a desert like Upelluri but is about half the size. However unlike Upelluri it is full of untapped resources. This abundance is the driving force for the Nauceans to travel here, especially by the industrial revolution when the Old world becomes polluted from dirty industry.
