Darknovus - Katkus is a planetary system orbiting Katkus, a G8V ☼ star in the Ursa Minor constellation of the Polaris Region.

Katkus System System: Katkus Primary Star: Katkus Stellar Type: G8V ☼ Companion Star(s): None Distance from Earth: 404 ly Constellation: Ursa Minor Region: Polaris Population: 240 Million Summary: The Katkus System is a small two planet system in the Polaris Region. The system contains two gas giants both with moons.

The inner planet is a gas giant with 3 times Jupiter’s mass orbiting in the habitable zone. Katkus B Oceans of water ice clouds cover this gas giant that orbits in the habitable zone. The large planet contains the mass of three Jupiter's.

Katkus B1 When early observers first discovered the large planet Katkus B they wondered if it might contain a livable moon. With technological advancements those speculations were confirmed and this moon was placed on top of the list of places to colonize in the Polaris Region.
