Electrus and Ionos

Created by Brenden

Electrus is a Jovian planet, which orbits about 5 au from its star.

Mass: apprxx. 5.972E27 kg

Radius: approx. 63710 km

Denstiy: apprx. 2.309E13 kg/km^3

Composition: mostly H and He, although there is abundant CN- as well

Moons: Ionos

Notable features: the powerful electric fields generated in the CN- rich atmosphere are a source of power for the civilization on Ionos.

Ionos is the sole moon of Electrus. It has a powerful magnetic field, with the ionosphere's charge resonating strongly with that of Electrus. The civilization on Ionos has, due to the natural abundance of heavy, ferrous metals, bypassed entirely any dependence on fossil fuels.

Mass: apprxx.4.65E24 kg

Radius: apprx. 4778 km

Density: apprx. 4.623E13 kg/km^3

Composition: mostly metals, with some silicates, atmosphere primarily ozone and nitrogen gas, also has liquid water, albeit with ozone replacing oxygen.
