Name is nice, though it seems a little "off" for me. Though it's a good name.

Yeh... I translated it into Japanese. Means "Green Wind".

Blatant GalCiv II reference there..... Not that I'll vote against it, and we have a couple of million years of planet formation to get through.

I've never actually played GalCiv II...

[Tarran]

Well, since there's not much else we can do right now but collide bodies. NEXT TURN.

And then the star was named Aokaze. It's name guaranteed to be known to all who see it.

Five hundred thousand more years pass. Many planetoids are formed. And many gas giants.

What are the most notable/major bodies in the system? (Meaning, which bodies are you going to follow, what are they like, where are they located, and what is their name)?

In GalCiv II, there is a race called the Torians and their homeworld is Toria or Tori, forget exactly. Anyways, I think the name you made for the star is a good one.

What type of star is this one most similar to? Just asking for a reference point, thats all.

[maxicaxi]

tori means bird in Japanese!

no one is referencing anyone here!

[Tarran]

I don't know what to reference it to. It's a middle point between a blue giant and our sun (In correct colors it should be white). It's hotter than our sun (x4 as hot) and three times as large. It's quite stable, half as many solar flares per day as our sun.

Also, just thought I'd say this: You can have dwarf stars, like brown dwarfs. Though they may cause some problems.

Oh, cool, didn't know that. They were an amphibian race though.

@Tarran: So something like an F class I guess.

As for planets, lets form a gas giant that is a bit bigger than Jupiter in the habitable zone of the star (or one thats already there) and give it protomoons (at least one or more) that are about the size of earth, among other smaller sized protomoons.

[Tarran]

Slowly, the gas clumped together to form a gas giant! it orbits the habitable zone, and pulls in a large amount of planetoids, though most asteroids are pulled into the gas giant before they can settle in a ring. It has two ear-... Well, one earth sized moon. the second one was knocked by a planetoid further out, to the cold end of the habitable zone. Well, you did expect that to happen right?

The moon is tidally locked to the gas giant. It has huge amounts of volcanic activity due to the pull of the gas giant.

The planet is being bombarded heavily by asteroids. It has traces of an atmosphere. It has a small planetary ring. It has basic plate tectonics.

What now, planet builders?

Let's see, on my wishlist:


Trojans near the Lagrange points of our gas giant and a thin ring of leftovers from the moon that got slung out.
Several smaller inner planets. They'd probably be boiling hot since they're quite close to the star and that one's hot as well.
Outer asteroid belt as a source of asteroids and comets on the edges of the drawn system.
A gas-'giant' much smaller then the current one but still larger then the rocky planet, positioned between said asteroid belt and the habitable planet. It's tilted 90 degrees, like Uranus and is tidal locked with a single moon that's about 90% of earth's diameter and very frigid

I am going to make a suggestion using the whole of my scientific knowledge^*: Lets have something like volcanoes erupt upon the two planets to fill them with atmosphere.

*I know nothing.

Which two planets?

Also: turn up when I feel like it.

[Tarran]

Slowly, the gas giant pulled Trojans in. Forever enslaved to the giant's gravity.

Out of the clouds, several planets. The inner one is eternally molten, twice as large as Mercury. The next is akin to Mercury. The third is seven times as large as the earth, it's large gravity pulls in many asteroids, it is quickly enveloped in clouds of greenhouse gasses. Then a forth one, right between the third planet and the gas giant, it is ripped apart by the alternating gravity, leaving a cluster of molten pieces.

Slowly, the gas giant flings many asteroids into a large belt at the edge of the system.

Then, a small gas (ice) "giant" is created with a moon, though the gravitational pull of Aokaze overwhelms the small gravity of the gas (ice) giant, and pulls the moon into orbit of the cold planet, slinging the planet slightly closer to Aokaze. The moon is half the size of the cold planet.

Slowly, the cold planet solidifies.

NAMES ARE NEEDED FOR A LOT OF PLANETS BOYS. GET TACTICAL, MARINES CREATIVE, PLAYERS!
What now?

The rock-planet should become another one of the gas giant's moons.

Is that a question or a action?
