Astronomy and Planetology
This section gathers the cosmic and planetological framework of the Enari project. It describes the Enari home star system, the environmental conditions of their homeworld, and the large-scale cycles that shape ecology, settlement, and spaceflight.
Content
- Naar and the Iyath System: compact sourcebook-style entry and primary starting point.
- Iyath System and Celestial Bodies: system architecture, binary stars, planetary sequence, and resource zones.
- Naar Planetology and Biosphere: the Enari homeworld with tides, a Koppen-like climate classification, geology, and biosphere.
- Bloom Cycle and Spaceflight: periodic production cycles, historical significance, and expansion across the home system.
Function in worldbuilding
The astronomy section provides the physical foundation for several other parts of the project:
- for Enari biology, because climate, tides, and biosphere shape the species' evolution and ecology
- for culture, because periodic bloom years can influence long-term planning and supply rhythms
- for language and naming work, because star, planet, and moon names form part of the Enarian world model
Language connection
- Veyrathi - Astronomy and Spaceflight Terminology: standard-oriented naming for celestial bodies, orbits, and space infrastructure
- Veyrathi - Name and Style Sheet of the Iyath System: proper names, readings, stylistic choices, and Saithan technical glosses for the system bodies
- Veyrathi - Register and Use of System Names: profile for school maps, observatories, colonial administration, spaceflight, and everyday language
- Saithanic - Astronomy and Astrophysics: high-register terminology for measurement, classification, observatories, and orbital mechanics
Getting started
The main entry point to this section is Naar (Tharun) and the Iyath System. From there, the three detailed dossiers branch out into star-system structure, planetology, and spaceflight.
