Altahe Information
Altahe is an exceptional form of planet called a Roche World. Put simply, it is one half of a pair of small and unusually dense terrestrial worlds (Altahe and Ontahe) that orbit each other so closely, they effectively share a single atmosphere. That does not mean one could fly from one to the other, but both have identical atmospheres and dust from one often can be found on the other.
Both worlds share an atmosphere of nitrogen and ethane. The surface is warm, and mainly composed of silica dust and dark basaltic rocks, with extensive deposits of heavy metals and radioactives. Tidal effects from Ontahe create constant heavy wind.
Orbital Period: 0.8 Earth Years
Radius: 4,404 km
Day Length: 53.8 Earth Hours
Atmospheric Pressure: 0.98 Earth Atmospheres
Surface Temperature: 36 Celsius
Surface Gravity: 1.1 G
