Moxveniam is a fictional heliocentric binary star system located in the Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy, adjacent to the Orion-Cygnus arm, approximately 12,000 light-years from Earth.
Twelve planets orbit its two suns. Anderia, the only inhabited planet within a six-hundred-light-year radius, is home to extant beings known as hugenics. While sharing humanoid characteristics, Anderians are neither ancestors nor descendants of Earth’s human species, and there has been no history of interaction between the two worlds.
The Moxveniam system comprises two gravitationally bound stars:
-
Reditus
-
the primary sun, radiating a prominent burnt ember, red-yellow hue.
-
Eustitia
-
a smaller, hotter companion, shining with a sapphire-blue hue.
Anderia, the sixth planet in the Moxveniam system, is orbited by three moons and inhabited by a humanoid species called hugenics, who dwell on its surface and within orbital space stations. Roughly one-half the size of Earth, it shares similarities in landmass ratio, ocean expanse, geographical features, atmosphere composition, and biodiversity.
Anderia’s mesosphere, extending approximately 60 milledia above the surface between the stratosphere and the thermosphere, is permanently marred, partially obstructing visibility and interfering with optical and electronic tracking systems.
Anderia’s trio of moons, in order of size, are Magna, Parvus, and Minima, each with distinct concentric orbits. Deeply rooted in tradition, some Anderians, including many Con-Servs, hold firm beliefs concerning three rare lunar phenomena:
-
TrienLuna
-
three full moons vertically aligned in the sky when Anderia is at the ideal orbital apex. Occurring approximately every 60 revs, it is believed to foretell a positive turn of events.
-
BlackLuna
-
the absence of moons in the sky. Transpiring roughly every 180 revs following a prior TrienLuna, it is believed to signal a dark turn of events.
-
BloodLuna
-
three blood-red moons appearing equidistant across the sky. Extremely rare, it is believed to portend an epoch-ending apocalyptic event.
