New Haven System
Contents
Overview
The New Haven System is the territorial designator for the Chara system, which lies roughly 30 light years from Sol. It has two terrestrial planets and three gas giants, as well as serves as the homeworld system for The Imperium of New Haven.
Cacus
Cacus, named after the fire-breathing monster that was also the son of Hephaestus, is a planet extremely similar to Venus in every way. Such an oddity is considered extremely rare and many surveys of the planet have been conducted because of these strange similarites. The planet rests 0.72 AUs from Chara and is considered a future target for terraforming efforts in the system.
New Haven
New Haven is the second planet from Chara. This world acts as the homeworld for the Imperium of New Haven and is compatible with all terran forms of life. See the full article for a more detailed description of this world.
Bacchus
The first and largest gas giant in the system, Bacchus, is a major source of Helium-3 and various alcohols in the Hermes Alliance. The gas giant orbits at a mean distance of 6 AUs and marks the boundary between the Inner New Havenic System and the Outer New Havenic System.
Diana
The second gas giant in the system and third smallest, Diane is named after the Roman goddess of hunting and the moon. Its namesake is from the more than hundred small icy meteors and asteroids orbiting the gas giant. The planet itself has a mean orbital distance of 12 AUs from Chara and is home to a modest water ice mining expedition.
Styx=
The third gas giant and the second largest, Styx is the only planet in the system (other than New Haven) named for a place rather than a figure of mythology. Its largest moon, Cerberus, is as large as Cacus but mainly consists of ammonia and water ices. Styx's many moons make up the New Haven System Perimeter Defense grid and act to counter any incursions coming into the New Haven System that pass by enroute to points further inward.
