Inos 27
Astrography
The desert-world known as Inos Moon 27 is an extremely cold sphere of rock and frozen gases. It exists on the edge of the Orian system, relatively far from the Inner Planets. Inos orbits in an almost lock-step to Orian Minor and may have been the victim of Sith stellar-body manipulation by Urias Orian. Given the size of Inos (Prime), this moon is half as large as some smaller terrestrial planets and retains its own atmosphere. It's period of orbit is long and it rotates slowly making for large variations of light from Orian Minor and warmth across the Moon.
Description
It is somewhat warmer overall than would be expected for a moon so far out in the Inos planet system. The combined tidal stresses and other stellar and planetary effects add considerable thermal energy and significantly affect the moon's environment. As well, the abundant radionuclides in the Orian system combine to produce a plausibly hospitable planet-sized moon. Unlike most deserts this one is largely a cold desert. Inos Moon 27 is largely shielded from the worst of Inos as the gas-giants electromagnetic effects are offset by the planetoid's energetic ionic and magnetic field.
Inos 27 is a remote place. Seldom does anyone visit it. It's crust is not blessed with many exotic minerals, and the world is largely wind-blasted rock and grey dust. The winds howl constantly as the moon tries to shift heat energy from the lit side to the unlit side during the long days. The incessant wind and abundant grit and dust have scoured the rocks into weird shapes such as arches, pillars, and suspended rocks. The desert floor is packed rock known as "desert pavement" and has layers of sand and rock underneath.
There is almost no vegetation, little water except frozen crystals locked in the soil, and no known native fauna exists. There are sightings of Sith Hounds occasionally reported across the years by pirates using the moon as a staging area. There has also been one report of a small Silooth beetle. It is know that the Silooth beetles have devastated other planets.
Since the area is now regularly patrolled by forces of Orian Authority the pirates seldom frequent the area. It is rumored that the ancient Sith Lord Urias Orian may have had a secret workshop somewhere beneath the rock and sand inside the crust.
