The Orian system is home to another pair of twins - the planets Ulatyu and Nuvenpa. These two barren worlds orbit closest to Orian Major in a double-helix, circling one another like twin moons. Neither world supports life and both are wrought with treacherous storms caused by the other's immense gravitational attractions. Sand and ash storms are ever present and there are frequent unexpected, and violent volcanic breakouts and eruptions. R
Nuvenpa is the most inhospitable of the two. This red-hot planet is wracked with lava eruptions. Flows of molten rock and metal erupt from cracks in the solid crust. Surface temperatures reflct the intense volcanism and asteroid bombarment.
Rarely a day passes when the twins are not upturned and reshaped by the destructive conditions. These twins burn and twist eternally forever.
