Araxal System

A star system of the XC that is located in the Aurina Galaxy, close to the Aldis System, the home system of the Xalarin species. 

The Araxal system orbits a G class star, Araxal, and consists of 7 planets. 

Araxal I - barren planet with no atmosphere, so the planet does not capture rays from the local star easily, making it colder than many planets at this distance form the sun.

Araxal II - hot gas giant which does not burn hydrogen as the pressure is not large enough.

Araxal III - warm barren planet which has been terraformed in much later years and is now habitable to many species (but not xalarin; it is too cold). Araxal III is used as a detention center.

Araxal IV - The largest planet in the system, a gas giant with 2 large asteroid rings. The gas giant is mostly used to obtain hydrogen gas through gas giant mining. The XC also mines on the asteroids in the belts orbiting Araxal IV.

Araxal V - Cold barren planet with unusually large mountains for a cold planet. It is thought that Araxal V's tectonic plates were once active, as well as its core, which possibly explains the comparitively large mountains but it is not known why the planet is now so far from the sun.

Araxal VI - Cold barren planet with few features. Its atmosphere means that it causes asteroids to disintegrate upon impacting the surface, and its frozen core means that there is no or very little geological activity. There is also little wind as it has no moons. It is an excellent planet to perform core extraction mining on for this reason though so there are a number of core extraction stations on the planet as well as conventional mining efforts.

Araxal VII - ice giant which takes up a mostly red colour, in stark contrasts to other ice giants. Araxal VII is still used by the XC to extract various elements havier than that of regular gas giants, like oxygen or even carbon in order to create objects requiring those materials. Its unique red colour is caused by a particular chemical which is far more abundant on Araxal VII than on other gas giants.
