Daedalusby *Alpha-Element

___________________________________________________________________________________________

hey, i'm actually alive!

sorry guys for not being in touch for more than a month, my internet stopped working and was only fixed last week.

hey but look, a new space scene!

this one is called daedalus and its another world in my alpha element universe.

daedalus ('day' - 'duh' - 'luss') is actually the water moon, second major moon from boreas and the largest. it's home to the akhelans ('ac' as in 'actor' - 'ellan'), is a race of evolved humanoid shark-like creatures. they are technologically advanced and do have large cities. they named their world after their god for the cold, calm sea.
the gas giant is boreas ('bor' - 'ee' - 'us'). its orbit is also slightly eccentric. it was named after their god of the winter wind. it orbits the sun-like star rodai ('ro' as in 'roman' - 'dye'). it was named after their god who was said to have created all the other gods.
votan ('vo' as in 'volt' - 'tan') is the moon to the left of the image, closest major moon to boreas and the smallest. it was named after their god who was said to live in a hidden volcano.
cyone ('cy' as in 'cyan' - 'own') is the moon to the right of the image, furthest major moon from boreas and second largest. it is currently on the opposite side of boreas. it was named after their goddess of winter.

there are also 5 other planets in this solar system which you may see at a later date.

you can see what an akhelan looks like here. ------->
