Tausangrool is a system that I have eluded to many times as having been a far off, majestic place. Though in reality its just another star system.

I had this big checklist of underrepresented astrogeography that I wanted to explore, and I got to check off a good chunk of the list in one go.

The Tausan-AB Binary is an S-type binary (First thing on my checklist) orbiting at a distance of around 50 astronomical units, maybe earth-neptune distance. Tausan A being slightly larger than Sol and Tausan B being somewhat smaller, maybe 50-80% of the suns mass. I'm not faffing around with sorting out precise masses and orbital math because frankly I don't have the patience for that.

Doss is a hot jupiter (Another thing on my checklist). Though theres not really a lot going on with it, just there, vibing as its atmosphere is scoured away.

Sajihito is the only world terraformed not using native organisms. Thus its covered in chlorophyll based life rather than the black-pigmented flora found elsewhere in the system. It's primarily colonized by Hoytachians who live on the surface in large archaeologies.

New Tagoria is claimed by the Cauldarions, specifically house Tarongori. Being a super earth with somewhere in the neighborhood of five times earth gravity, they can live there just fine. Other species tend to have a lot less fun under 50m/sec of acceleration. It has a small moon which I shall dub, Teteromuro; which has been converted into the shipyard I drew in a creative fervor last night. I would imagine the Cauldarions mine the planet and fling up the resources on space guns or a small, spindly industrial orbital ring to fuel the state-owned shipyard. (www.deviantart.com/jadegreen17… ) New Tagoria was populated by native ecology of carbon-based plant life. Though no animals existed outside of corals very primitive eel-like organisms. The plants evolved a black pigmentation (in fact a mix of several pigments each in layers.) that is extremely efficient at extracting energy from sunlight. This abundance of energy means that the plantlife on these worlds is incredibly robust and prolific and has since been transplanted to every world the CD system.

Hona is a gas giant who's atmosphere is filled with bioluminescent algae just below the surface layers of the atmosphere. Storms can bring them to the surface causing portions of the planet to glow bright neon blue. This isn't even the first time this phenomenon has been discovered (gas giants with algae blooms are actually everywhere in this lore) but the first time it has been bioluminescent. The Algae are not photosynthetic and instead derive their energy from temperature gradients and electrostatic buildup within the atmosphere. A seperate clade of these algae were found in New Tagoria's oceans; implying a panspermia event occurred at some point in the distant past.

Hona also has an immense ring disc. This thing is probably the pulverized remains of a couple earths' worth of moons or unfortunate planets caught in the gravitational crossfire. Their corpses now scattered across a disk an entire astronomical unit in radius. Again I'm not doing orbital math but its probably safe to say that the push and pull of all these crazy stars and planets means nothing in this system will be stable on cosmic timescales, and that all the asteroids in that disk will eventually be flung off.

Sellis Oris is a puffy planet, probably made up of almost entirely hydrogen. I like to imagine it probably formed a very long time ago when the metallicity of the universe was lower, probably captured into the system by the aforementioned gravitational war of the stars.

The Tausan-CD Binary is a more commonly shown P-type binary. But its formed of twin red dwarfs. Though I don't think red dwarfs are underrepresented, at least within my settings a lot of starsystems end up being red dwarfs, because they're the most common star type. They're so close together they're practically kissing. (I remember seeing somewhere something on these two blue giant stars that are so close their stellar membranes are touching and they make this sort of dumbbell shape. That is something else on my checklist...) The reason I like red dwarfs is they would allow for very compact systems, similar to Trappist-1. Easy, non FTL transfers between planets; and the aesthetics of seeing other inhabited planets in the sky.

The planets of the CD system, I don't have too much to say on. The CD system is highly urbanized, due to the accessibility of a number rocky terrestrial planets that won't crush unaugmented members of most species into mush the minute they step out of the ship. They've all been terraformed with tweaked iterations of New Tagoria's plantlife, and are able to grow much taller and more spindly thanks to the lower gravity. The innermost planet has a solar shade; as I would imagine jet-black plantlife does not help keep your albeido down. More than half the system's entire population is concentrated in the Ebos L'ri orbital ring-city. The sheer amount of floor space these things provide means that their populations would feasibly be in the hundreds of billions or trillions. I always liked the concept of the orbital ring-city.

I know """Realistically""" everyone lives in a spin habitat with a few thousand people and diversify in culture and language so much so their neighbors are essentially aliens. Obviously I can't fully describe the mechanisms of the societal pressures influencing a civilization so vastly more complex than our own, but I could simply excuse it as urbanization convenience or the focus on unity and the relatively short timespan much of this development occurs on compared to hard science fiction. Not needing a spaceship to visit your grandmother would be one benefit. From an out of universe perspective it allows for a single awe-inspiring structure contrast a boring haze of pixel-sized habitats.

Tausan E is a brown dwarf orbiting on a highly elliptical orbit. It would be about a light-week out. Brown Dwarfs are another thing that I find horrendously underrepresented. Though i'm not really doing much with it, based on the amount of asteroids and comets around it it was a wannabe star system that didn't pan out. Deredict is totally not home to an EGOCC outpost (Extra-Galactic Object Containment Commission) AKA this universes' take on an organization like the SCP foundation.
