Varnus

 

Varnus is a binary star system consisting of a yellow G-class star, along with an orange/yellow K-class star separated by 80 AU  The system lies in the Orion Constellation of the Betelgeuse Region.

 
The primary planet of the Varnus System is a world covered in water dotted with various island chains.  The islands are sprinkled over the planet-wide ocean, acting as an oasis for civilization and society, on a world that could otherwise not support long-term colonies.

 

Varnus’s primary planet was settled but never grew a massive population, as the planet’s islands simply couldn’t support.  Lack of freshwater, diseases, and chaotic weather are issues that plague the islands.  The planet's permanent population is consistently forced to overcome the unique environment.
