M8 primary is a dim red main sequence [[star]]. It has a luminosity of 0.0025 Sols, a mass of 0.244 Sols, and a diameter of 334,000 km.
The primary is Nothan, a dim red main sequence [[star]]. It has a luminosity of 0.0025 Sols, a mass of 0.244 Sols, and a diameter of 334,000 km. (I-I) a [[trace atmosphere]] [[radworld]], (I-II) a [[very thin atmosphere]] [[radworld]], (II) a [[ring]]ed [[small gas giant]]: (IIa) Hiwen is its only major [[satellite]] and is designated the [[mainworld]], (III) a [[large gas giant]], (IV) a sparse stony [[planetoid belt]], (V-I) a [[ring]]ed [[large gas giant]], and (V-II) a small [[ice giant]] form the outer system. Most of the worlds retain [[satellite]]s.

(II) Verran is a [[ring]]ed [[small gas giant]] that orbits Nothan at a mean distance of 0.51 AU (76.3 million km), within the outer system, and has an orbital period of 281 days 27 hours. It has a diameter of 31,000 km and an atmosphere consisting of 92% hydrogen (H<sub><small>2</small></sub>), 8% 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 pale blue color with narrow dark blue bands. It retains a single major [[satellite]].
 
 
 
===== Satellite =====
 
Verran retains one major [[satellite]]:
 
: (IIr) Ring System ([[UWP]] YR00000-0, extending to 2 Diameters/65,000 km)
 
: (IIa) Hiwen (designated the [[mainworld]], orbiting at 5 Diameters/155,000 km)

==== (IIa) Hiwen ====
 
(IIa) Hiwen is the only major [[satellite|moon]] of (II) Verran and is designated the [[mainworld]]. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 5 diameters (155,000 km), with an orbital period of 9 days 17 hours: it is [[tidally locked]] to Verran. The axial tilt is 2 degrees relative to Verran. Hiwen has a diameter of 2,413 km, a density of 4.13 g/cm³ and a surface gravity of 0.14 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Verran cause constant geological activity. The atmosphere is rated as [[Vacuum]]. The world has no hydrosphere. Mean surface temperature: -172°C.
