I did this for my story "Master's Pet". This is Ainoko's homeworld Velora, to help me visualize where he and his sister were born and where his father traveled in order to keep his son safe. The planet's population is highly advanced, yet at the same time are agrarian and early industrial. Society and civilization in general shuns any technology that makes life too easy and carefree. There are no weapons of mass destruction on Velora despite their capability to build and use such technology. Visitors, may find it unnerving as well as disturbing to discover that on Velora and it's moon that slavery is a major part of society, even more so that a significant portion of the population do so by choice.

Velora orbits a binary star system in the Cancer cluster. Velora is 10AU from a pair of twin yellow suns named Orlos and Chua. Velora is 15 times the size of Earth with gravity that is comparable to that of Earth's. There are 4 moons orbiting Velora, one that has colonies settled on its surface. The moons are Vaverde, Dian, Wolar, and Stunar.

Stunar, the largest moon (twice the size of Earth) is 1.5 million Earth miles from Velora, supports a modest population of approximately 3.8 Billion inhabitants. It's gravity is 1/2 that of Velora and is very tropical. It takes Stunar 120 Veloran days to orbit its home planet, it's rotational period is 35 Veloran hours long at a 15 degree inclination to Velora's tilt.

Vaverde orbits Velora approximately 1 million Earth miles away, is airless like its two smaller sister moons. Vaverde's gravity is 1/100th of its homeplanet, takes 15 Veloran days to orbit Velora and has no perceptible rotation. Vaverde's orbit is found to be along the planet's equator.

Dian the smallest orbits Velora at 2 million Earth miles form Velora. Despite it being the furthest moon from the planet, it has the fastest orbit, 50 Veloran days. Like Vaverde, it is airless, rotating every 3.5 hours. Dian's orbital plane is on a 35 degree plane form Velora's mean tilt.

Wolar is the oddest moon orbiting Velora, Its orbit is oblong getting as close as 200,000 Earth miles at apogee and at its furthest, 3.5 million Earth miles at perigee.

A full lunar/solar eclipse where all four moons and both suns line up is rare and celebrated.

As with the other two planetary pic, this is just a concept until I can get someone to do a proper rendition of this planet.

A.K.A. = crappy MS Paint is crappy.

Also, free free to give suggestions about this and the other two planets.
