The panels of simulated sky can be seen across the ceiling of the of the worldhouse dome, in the background, with the optical phased arrays turned to low resolution, or turned off, at the edges of panels. On many areas of the planet, the worldhouse dome is built closer to the ground |

Hush | (YTS-4376519-4032) |
System | Hush and its orbiting planets received their common Anglic names following the discovery of the Silent Ones on YTS-4376519-4032 IV (now known as Quietus). 1) Murmur: Hermian - Semi-major axis = 5.8E7 km (0.39 AU) - Mass = 3.15E23 kg (0.05 x Earth) 2) Mumble: Adamaean - Semi-major axis = 1.1E8 km (0.75 AU) - Mass = 6.1E24 kg ( 1.02 x Earth) 3) Mutter: Mesojovian - Semi-major axis = 1.65E8 km (1.1 AU) - Mass = 1.78E27 kg (0.93 x Jupiter) 4) Quietus: Supergaian - Semi-major axis = 1.53 AU - Orbital period = 1.1 standard years - Orbital eccentricity = 0.0 - Mass = 4.68E25 kg (7.84 x Earth) - Radius = 14,101 km (2.21 x Earth) - Surface gravity = 1.6 g - Atmospheric composition = 75% nitrogen (N2), 23% oxygen (O2), 2% argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO2) and other trace gases Note: The surface environment of Quietus is camouflaged by a worldhouse shell, the outer layer of which is designed to imitate the surface of a lifeless Arean world. |
