Julia and Mulea

Joo-Lee-Ah / Moo-Lay-Ah

Inhabitants

Ultimately, there are no inhabitants of the strange stellar pair that exists when considering Julia and Mulea. What lies, suspended in the heavens like an untouched jewel, are two gaseous planets of similar size. Julia, the first, is a bright opalescent blue, while Mulea, the second, ranges from a bright prismatic orange, to a dull swirling brown as you grace its lower hemispheres. Large, the largest of all the planetary bodies within the solar system, these two planets orbit in an almost perfect unity. As two pairs of dancers would upon a floor of twinkling black velvet.

What could survive, in such depths of thick atmosphere, devoid of land to place thy feet? Perhaps, none shall know. For there might be a great stretching city upon Mulea, and hordes of feasting goblins upon Julia. Yet, alas, we would be none the wiser, for the twins seem little more than a tiny marble from Aethius, even with the greatest of looking devices.

Distance from Sun/Aethius

• Sun: 9.5 AU (Astronomical Units - Distance from Sun to Aethius)
• Aethius: 8.5 AU

Weather Conditions

Julia's surface is smooth, calm, and ribbed with bands of white and silver- these, are best assumed to be great storms that rage infinitely into the darkness, forever protecting their jewel-like sheen from the stagnation of the void itself. Its color, mostly untouched, as the storms upon its surface rotate with its axial spin. Mulea, however is a different matter altogether. Due to the gravitational disturbance of the other twin, its surface is often like swirling eddies of a muddy stream. Forever unable to gain some semblance of balance, its color shifts and changes many times a year, as the atmospheric gasses exchange themselves with warmer gasses near the core.

What is most peculiar, about the twins, is their proximity and size. Asteroids and other detritus from the Periera Barrier, have in time found their way to the orbits of the twin planets. As such, they've collected a host of moons, and small objects that form a toroidal ring about the two. Yet, it is often seen, and witnessed by some upon Aethius, the destruction and chaos that can spring about from the twins. Should an asteroid stray too close to the planets, their gravity propels it like some enormous crossbow, sending the ill-fated stone across the blackness of space in excess of five-hundred kilometers a second. A devastating missile, yet beautiful force of nature.
