Kazdan System

The Kazdan System is a star system in the Sagittarius Arm, 3,473 light-years away from the core. It is located in the Mega Sector.

System components

 * Kazda - an orange giant, twenty times the size of an average star. It is currently leaving the main sequence on the Hertzprung-Russell Diagram, but still has habitable planets.
 * Zerann (0.63 AU) the first planet. A barren, rocky world with a limited atmosphere, orbiting 0.63 AU from the parent star. Its diameter is 1,783 km.
 * Heraz (1.11 AU) - a rocky planet with a carbon dioxide atmosphere. It used to be similar to many life-bearing planets (Megaladon, Earth, Graxlan-1, etc.), but as Kazda grew big and old, its atmosphere begun to get too hot for life to form and many species died out. Its diameter is 6,372 km.
 * Zaserr - the only moon of Heraz. Could get expelled from its orbit in the near future to become a single planet.
 * Asteroid belt
 * Kazda (2.2 AU) - a medium sized terrestrial planet which orbited at a similar distance to its parent star as Earth does. When its parent star grew old, tidal forces ejected Kazda from an orbit of 1 AU to over 2 AU. In the 17th and 18th centuries, unexplained global warming melted the planets ice caps, and flooded the entire world. The water is over 5 km high. The only places that remain intact are mountain tops or underwater bases. This makes Kazda look a bit like Kamino from Star Wars.
 * Zernek (5.86 AU) - a small gas giant planet over 30,000 km wide that has 70 moons and 3,483 artificial satellites, which mine the gas giant's massive helium-3 supply.
