Sariel The primary planet of the Sariel System System: Sariel A Stellar Type: K2IV ☼ Mass (Sol): 1.2 Companion Star(s): Sariel B ( G5V ☼ ) Distance from Earth: 280 ly Constellation: Pictor Population: 700 Million Planetary Data: Distance: 2.22 AU Temperature: 259 K Mass: 0.45 Earth Radius: 5083 km Gravity: 0.73 G Orbital Period: 1102 Days Rotation Period: 39 Hours Summary: The Sariel System's primary planet orbits the larger star of the binary system.
Sariel A is a k-type star that is evolving off the main sequence and turning into a subgiant, while Sariel B is a main sequence g-type star. The stars are separated by an average distance of 137 AU. The primary planet's surface consists of 3 main continents named Lazavius, Octavius, and Augustus.
The planet is slightly cooler than Earth, though it used to be much colder and more Mars-like throughout most of its history. The planet warmed up while Sariel A turned into subgiant. A major world war vastly altered the planets population, which had lived there for over 1,000 years.
