Hyades System
Hyades A: An A-type star of 2.5 Solar Masses. It is believed to be 900 million years old and approaching the end of its main sequence.
Hyades B: A white dwarf of 1.3 Solar Masses. Both stars orbit a common center of gravity with a distance of 1 AU between the two. When Star A expands into its Red Giant stage, Star B should accrete enough material to cause a Type 1 Supernova.
Hyades I: A charred silicate world orbiting at 12.3 AU. It is believed to have once been the core of a gas giant that had its atmosphere stripped when Star B was in its Red Giant stage.
Hyades II: An eight Earth mass ocean world that orbits at 20.1 AU. Though its “surface” and atmosphere are well below freezing, heat from within keeps the planet fluid. Its atmosphere is rich in water vapor and gradually grows denser. There is no clear boundary between atmosphere and ocean on Hyades II.
Hyades III: Orbiting at 32.4 AU, this frozen world is a new addition to the system. It is believed to have formed less than a hundred million years ago from debris generated from Star B’s expiration. It is comprised of 90% ices and 10% rocks. The planet is twice the size of Earth.
Cometary Belt: Ranging from 35 to 200 AU distance from the stars, this region is rich in icy bodies ranging from the size of Mars down to only a few kilometers in diameter.
