Carmargo Star System
Galactic coordinates:
15x kiloparsecs, 19y kiloparsecs, 5z kiloparsecs below the Galactic plane (O19,5-), in the HRK 81.4-77.8 cloud.
Star color:
Carmargo A – Ah-Tabai, a G2-V type yellow-dwarf star. Carmargo B – Vukub-Cakix, a K1-V type orange-dwarf star. Carmargo C – Och-Kan, a M6-Ve type red-dwarf star.
Solar system details:
Camargo A and B, Ah-Tabai and Vukub-Cakix, orbit around each other every 79 Earth years. Carmago C - Och-Kan, orbits 3,000 AU (0.21 ly) away from the barycenter of the Carmargo star system.
Ah-Tabai Star:
Planet Name:
Cizin.
Other Planet Details:
Ah-Tabai has a nearly Neptune-sized and mass (12 Earths) planet, Cizin. It is located at 1.1 AU with a sidereal orbital period of ~360 d. This Gas Giant has an orbital inclination of 70°.
There are two moons orbiting the Gas Giant Cizin, Nacon and Qaholom. Between Nacon and Qaholom are ring arcs made of dark material, which are collectively named Gucumatz. These ring arcs can occasionally catch the light of the stars, and can be visible with infrared light.
Home Planet/Moon:
Nacon.
Home Planet/Moon Details:
Cizin’s moon Nacon is approximately the size and mass of Mars (0.11 Earths), and is volcanically active due to tidal forces from Cizin and fellow moon Qaholom. Nacon orbits Cizin every 2 Earth days, and harbors oceans, an atmosphere, life, and some form of tectonics due to volcanism from tidal forces.
Other Moon Name:
Qaholom.
Other Moon Details:
Cizin’s second moon Qaholom is farther away, orbiting the Gas Giant every 5 Earth Days. Qaholom is far less massive, approximately the size and mass of Jupiter’s moon Io. Like Nacon, Qaholom is also volcanically active, partially due tidal forces from Cizin and Nacon, as well as the very high amounts of radioactive elements on this moon.
Vukub-Cakix Star:
Other Planet Name:
Chamer.
Other Planet Details:
Vukub-Cakix has a nearly earth-sized planet orbiting it, Chamer, which is approximately 0.92 Earth’s radii. Chamer orbits very close to Vukub-Cakix, having an orbit of 12.4 Earth days. The planet orbits so close to the star that its surface is extremely hot and covered in lava oceans and lakes.
Och-Kan Star:
Other Planet Name:
Ahmakiq.
Other Planet Details:
Ahmakiq has an estimated minimum mass of 1.17 Earth masses, and orbits approximately 0.049 AU from Och-Kan. This places the planet in the star’s habitable zone. However, due to the high amount of X-rays, it is not actually habitable (to life that Earth knows of).
Other Planet Name:
Yantho.
Other Planet Details:
Yantho is far more massive, being either a Super-Earth or Mini-Neptune, due its high mass of over 7 Earths. The planet orbits 1.49 AU from Och-Kan, and takes 1,928 Earth days (5.28 Earth years) to complete its orbit. Yantho has a large ring system named Alom.
Other Planet Name:
Ekchuah.
Other Planet Details:
Ekchuah is the smallest planet around Och-Kan. It goes around Och-Kan every 5.15 Earth days, and has a mass of about 0.29 Earths.
Species
Backstory:
Long ago, ancient beings from beyond the stars spread nanobots into the Carmargo System. Their aim was to see what happens to life if it is stopped/prevented from developing certain traits at certain times. The first goal to try to limit life to Ediacaran-like body times/plans, which is why life on Nacon appears similar to Ediacarans.
Player Species:
Yalingia sentispikiformis are sentient amphibious spikey worm-like creatures, and the most intelligent lifeform on Nacon. Their spikey appendages, including mandibles, allow them to grasp and hold things. They see in the infrared and UV, in addition to the regular “visible” spectrum of Earth humans. They have good hearing and smelling underwater, but they become lessened in air. They also have developed a complex language that uses pictures as words. These small spikey, creatures, probably about the size of a human fingernail, have created a medieval-like society that uses magic. They have mastered aquaculture, non-sapient creature-taming for food production and movement, and even found a way to make steam using radioactive ore. Being amphibious, they do some of their mining up the surface, as well as metal working above water.
Mount Species:
Dckinsonia* and Yorgia-like animals that resemble said animal from the Ediacaran. However, these animals can see, having multiple eye spots. They also have digestive systems with a primitive mouth opening, a set of gills for breathing, and use alternating, foot-like pulse movement for moving on the ground underwater and swimming at the surface.
Some of the Other Nonsapient Species:
Fractofuscus and Charnia form “living forests” that move along with the tides and currents. However, they can also move ever so slowly using their “foot” and have digestive systems. Some of these “animals” have developed poison as a defense mechanism, or even spikes along their edges. Some have even developed Chitin to prevent themselves from being eaten. These organisms have the lowest level of magic within them. They are often found away from predatory sponge-like organism “dead zones”.
Somatohelix sinosus form “Tall Fields” to the Yalingia. These spiral organism tend to form together for protection, growing on rocks. These tube organisms have extensions that come out to help it feed, see, communicate, and defend, as each tube is actually a colony organism of multiple spiral tubes in a tower formation. Sometimes used for playing hide-and-seek among Yalingia youngsters, these structures can hibernate for quite a bit of time if conditions becomes unfavorable. Somatohelix is often confused for Sinotubules, which are bioluminescent and have developed high amounts of hallucinogenic compounds for defense.
Cloudina and Corumbella are often used as “Living fences”, or dividers, underwater. Food, mostly in the form of algae, is left next to the opening of these columnar organisms so they do not move away from where they are “planted”. Both of these organisms tend to move similar to Earth scallops, where they pump out water to propel themselves forward and steer. These organisms have polypars coming out from their openings in the top, where Cloudina has stinging cells and Corumbella has sticky colloblasts. Corumbella had an additional purpose where its exoskeleton plates were collected for forming armor before metal casting and shaping was discovered.
Namacalathus are known as “Living Towers”. Before the formation of cities and towns underwater, families of Yalingia would often take refuge on top of these organisms. If they were able to successfully climb them. Later used for lookout posts, and then underwater sports climbing, these “Statue Trees” hold an important significance for the Yalingia. Unlike their Earth counterparts, these organisms have formed a symbiotic relationship with algae, getting part of their energy from sunlight. The Yaligina have attempt to transplant and grow Namacalathus on land with very limited success, as a few managed to grow in intertidal zones and beach areas.
Government/Culture
Rulership:
The Yalingia elect their leaders. Every person voices their opinions, and they are considered when deciding leaders. They have a post-capitalistic kind of government, where the government helps their kind.
Culture:
Since they don’t really have a concept of money, and the government helps them, the Yalingia work to better themselves and pursue their interests when they have time not doing their regular work. The Yalingia have evolved to have close knit communities and a culture of helping others, which is why they naturally went toward Socialism/post-capitalism. Knowledge is also very important to the Yalingia, which is why Libraries are important places in Yaligina towns and cities. They use their “spikes” appendages for gesturing and contact comfort. The Yalingia believe magic is a natural extension of the universe around them, including themselves, and it is a revered art/practice. Should one devote themselves to Magic, it can take many years of a Yalingia’s life to master, as the Yalingia continue to experiment with Magic.
Architecture:
Due to being underwater for so long, the Yalingia use natural materials for building things. Sandstone and Shale are most often used for buildings, which are open at the top to allow light coming in. The bricks are often chiseled/carved with Ediacaran-looking animals for designs. They are carved on the surface, where the metal working is done. Microbial mats are used for flooring, making for very squishy and soft floors that regrow. Hearths will use sodium or radioactive ore for warm and cooking. Because their open design, cities and towns are wide rather than tall, and located close the intertidal zone. All houses will have stables-like structure, where swimming Proarcticulata-like mounts like Yorgia and Dckinsonia*-derived organisms are kept.
