=== System Data ===
==== Joddell-Herat System ====
The primary is Joddell, an ordinary orange main sequence [[star]]. It has a luminosity of 0.284 Sols, a mass of 0.723 Sols and a diameter of 1.073 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a [[vacuum]] [[inner world]], and (II) a [[trace atmosphere]] [[hospitable world]]. (III) Morogan, a [[large gas giant]], orbits in the [[habitable zone]]; (IIIc) Herat, its outer moon, is designated the [[mainworld]]. (IV) a sparse icy [[planetoid belt]], (V) a [[small gas giant]], (VI) a small [[ice giant]], (VII) a [[very thin atmosphere]] [[radworld]], (VIII) a [[vacuum]] [[iceworld]], (IX) a [[large gas giant]], and (X) a sparse stony [[planetoid belt]] form the outer system. Most of the worlds retain satellites.

==== (III) Morogan ====
(III) Morogan is a [[large gas giant]] that orbits Joddell at a mean distance of 0.66 AU (98.7 million km), within the [[habitable zone]], and has an orbital period of 1 year 29 days. It has a diameter of 86,000km km and an atmosphere consisting of 90% hydrogen (H<sub><small>2</small></sub>), 10% helium (He), and less than 1% methane (CH<sub><small>4</small></sub>), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH<sub><small>3</small></sub>), water vapor (H<sub><small>2</small></sub>O) and other trace gases. It is a heavily banded reddish-brown color. It retains a family of three major [[satellite]]s.

===== Satellites =====
Morogan retains three major [[satellite]]s:
: (IIIa) Abasta ([[UWP]] Y200000-0, orbiting at 8 Diameters/690,000 km)
: (IIIb) Zim ([[UWP]] Y4A0000-0, orbiting at 14 Diameters/1.2 million km)
: (IIIc) Herat (designated the [[mainworld]], orbiting at 45 Diameters/3.87 million km)

=== Mainworld Data ===
==== (IIIc) Herat ====
(IIIc) Herat is the outer of the three major [[satellite|moon]]s of (III) Morogan and is designated the [[mainworld]]. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 45 diameters (3.87 million km), with an orbital period of 1 year 362 days: it is [[tidally locked]] to Morogan. The axial tilt is 5 degrees relative to Morogan. Herat has a diameter of 8,189 km, a density of 3.91 g/cm³ and a surface gravity of 0.46&nbsp;G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Morogan cause occasional geological activity. The atmosphere is rated as [[Thin atmosphere|Thin]], [[Tainted atmosphere|Tainted]], with a mean surface pressure of 0.61 bar and a composition of 77% nitrogen (N<sub><small>2</small></sub>), 21% oxygen (O<sub><small>2</small></sub>), 1% argon (Ar), xenon (Xe) and neon (Ne), and 1% water vapor (H<sub><small>2</small></sub>O), carbon dioxide (CO<sub><small>2</small></sub>), azane (NH<sub><small>3</small></sub>) and other trace gases. The [[Tainted atmosphere|taint]] is caused by the high percentage of inert gases, principally argon, xenon and neon, released by seismic outgassing. Around 63% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.25m. Mean surface temperature: 7°C. The [[Fringian_Variant_System_Description#Planetary_Climate|climate]] is rated as Temperate-Cool and is static, with no seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is active and strong weather systems driven by the star and the oceans sweep across the globe.

==== Mainworld geography and topography ====
Total surface area: 211 million km², Water surface area: 133 million km², Land surface area: 78 million km².

=== Native Lifeforms ===
==== Joddell-Herat System ====
Herat, the [[mainworld]], has primitive native life, consisting entirely of microscopic cyanobacteria-parallels that exist in almost every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions maintain the process of atmospheric renewal.

No other [[world]] in the [[system]] is known to have native life.
