This is the official thread for my scifi project Blood Moon (running name, likely to change)
**Since my earlier thread got moved here, I might as use this new thread as a starting point for the whole project, and limit usage of the other threads for more specific inquiries about certain sciences so they don't get moved before I get enough answers.**
Initial Summary: In the distant future, in the time of space colonization, a colonization vessel on it's way to a solar system far from Earth accidentally stumbles onto an interstellar gas giant with a terrestrial moon. The planet does not exist on any of the navigational charts, because the nature of the planet was undetectable from earth. The moon is almost a perfect twin of earth, except no plants, and no light (both due to the lack of a star) the massive amounts of breathable oxygen in the atmosphere comes from electrolysis that come from natural occurring batteries that ionize and separate water.
Radiation, tidal forces from the gas planet, alongside the moon's hot iron/nikel,and the moon's moon like satellite keep the moon between 10°-20° C.
I wasn't going to name the planet or the moon till later, but I find myself wanting to call the moon a planet, and the sub brown dwarf gas planet a star, (because it is basicly functioning as one) so I've decided to come up with names, that can be changed later in the story, when the colonists decide to name them. I Also created quick conceptual images in blender
I've decided to call the rogue planet Ferron, Due to its dense multi metal core and hydrogen atmosphere, the metalic surface is also heavily rusted (all oxygen in bound as iron oxide) , and the red dust is swept in massive storms giving the planet a red atmosphere.
Ferron's terrestrial moon, I was thinking of something like terraluna/lunaterra for a more literal name, but they didn't quite fit my fancy. I began thinking of it's natural electrolysis and found the name Terrelectra fitting as at least a temporary name.
Terrelectra will also have a satellite with an elliptical orbit, tidal influences, it will consist mostly phosphorous, silicon, and dust originating from Ferron's Ring (to be conceptualized later with a particle system in unity) Giving it a red crystalline surface, made mostly of Hutematite and Quartz. The moonlet will be named Sanguis, the Latin word for blood. (Sanquis has yet to be conceptualized)
