Vanduul

Caliban System

Caliban is a former UEE system lost during the Vanduul push. The Fall of Caliban in 2884 is famous for being the last time a Vanduul Kingship was in UEE space before the Battle of Vega II in 2945. The ensuing battle also featured the Lost Squad's last stand against overwhelming odds. Over six decades later, both worlds remain a feast for the harvesters of roaming Vanduul Clans.

Planets

Name Type Size Status Description
Caliban I Terrestrial Rocky 2,581 km A small, coreless world that has been mined of all its resources.
Crion Terrestrial Rocky 3,694 km Habitable Prior to the Vanduul incursion, this small terraformed world was home to millions of Humans. Now Vanduul harvesters chew through the remnants of Human civilization.
Caliban III Desert Planet 4,580 km A desert world that was being terraformed when the Vanduul arrived. It began to revert to its original form when the terraforming machinery crashed into the planet.
Caliban IV Gas Giant 61,045 km A gas giant composed of massive clouds of silicate and iron that give it a grey-green color.
Caliban V Protoplanet 3,012 km A protoplanet lacking an atmosphere.

Moons

Name Type Size Status Description
Caliban 2a Planetary Moon 0.51594 km A yellow, dusty moon covered in unusual craters. A long-term study to determine their origin was suspended when the Vanduul took the system.
Caliban 3a Planetary Moon 0.691 km Though this lumpy moon is as large as many protoplanets, it does not have sufficient mass to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium.
Caliban 3b Planetary Moon 0.193 km Porous and potato-shaped, this low-mass moon was likely captured from the nearby asteroid belt.
Caliban 4a Planetary Moon 0.5139 km A very old, dense ball of iron.
Caliban 4b Planetary Moon 0.51562 km A slight magnetic field suggests the presence of a metallic core.
Caliban 4c Planetary Moon 0.52018 km This iron-rich moon is a dark, reddish-brown, with bright white silicate streaks.
Caliban 4d Planetary Moon 0.51655 km The surface of this moon is covered entirely with a frozen, brackish sea.
Caliban 4e Planetary Moon 0.1858 km Constant violent nitrogen ice storms keep even the Vanduul from attempting to harvest this moon’s resources.
Caliban 4f Planetary Moon 0.1919 km A mixture of tholins, silicate rock, and carbon cause the surface of this moon to reflect very little light.
