Celestia system

Basic Information
The Celestia system consists of five planets orbiting a blue dwarf star. Only one of these planets, Celestia Prime, is within the habitable zone.

Celestia
The name "Celestia" was chosen to suggest that star had a heavenly appearance due to its striking blue color. Because Celestia is a blue dwarf, it burns very hot and its habitable zone starts farther out and extends farther than most other systems. The warm blue light given off by the star gives Celestia Prime's daylight a bluish cast and significant warmth, particularly in the summer.

The star hosts a planetary system with five planets, only one of which is habitable.

Morvare
The first planet in the system, Morvare has a scorching surface and is completely inhospitable to all forms of life. It is listed in the Federation database as an H-class volcanic planet. Due to its proximity to the star, Morvare does not have any moons. The extreme heat on the planet's surface prohibits scientific probing, preventing its surface from being mapped.

Kamyk
Kamyk (named after the Polish word for pebble) is an H-class desert planet, far too hot to support life but not as violent as Morvare. Its slightly further distance from Celestia allows it to hold one moon in orbit. Though Kamyk is not as hot as Morvare, most equipment will not function on the surface due to frequent sand storms and the intense heat of the desert. However, flying craft are able to take scans and photos, so there is some limited information about its surface.

Reina
The third planet in the system, Reina, is a K-class planet with two moons. Lying just outside the habitable zone, Reina shows some evidence of prior life on the planet, but no life currently exists there. Because it is not as hot as Morvare or Kamyk, scientific probes are able to land, and environmental suits are sufficent to allow science teams to explore the planet's surface. Reina may be a candidate for pressure dome colonization.

Celestia Prime

Because the star and the only M-class planet in the system originally shared a name, the planet was officially renamed Celestia Prime just before the colony was established. Unlike other M-class planets, Celestia Prime has an impressive set of rings, with two moons just past the rings' edge. Currently Celestia Prime supports two humanoid settlements, Celestia Colony and the original settlement established by disgruntled travelers.

Amaranthine
The fifth and final planet in the system is a J-class gas giant, named Amaranthine for its unusual purple color. Because of its altnerating light and dark stripes, the planet is often referred to as a "purple Jupiter" or "royal Jupiter." Due to its massive size, Amaranthine has an impressive thirteen moons.
