OVERVIEW:

Exposition

Kallabus, also known as Kallabus-Temeth (or Antarius ABc), is the third planet of the Antarius System, of the Empyrean Highlands. It is a large hothouse world that experienced a runaway greenhouse effect. In the distant past, Kallabus was much more habitable, though not as much as a similar world, Siroth. It had oceans of liquid water for a short period before the water soon evaporated. This then led to the thickening of the atmosphere, which allowed the energy and temperature from the BBH System of Arventhor and Tempris to be absorbed much more than they would have been. Aside from that, Kallabus hosts a single large moon, Nephrin, that orbits far out. Its retrograde orbit has slowed down the rotational period of Kallabus, reducing its present yet faint oblateness.

Geology

Kallabus was also actively volcanic and seismic in the past. The volcanism was common in several forms, whether it was volcanoes, geysers, or fumaroles; these were also other contributors to the greenhouse effect of the planet. The seismic activity and various tectonic plate boundaries, specifically divergent plate boundaries, have created numerous ravines, canyons, and fissures of many sizes. This is also caused by the extremely active and large iron core and the fast movement of the various convection currents lying within Kallabus' mantle. This has also caused the continents of the planet to shift and change position. Most of the volcanoes are quite large and are typically shield volcanoes as the convection cells fuel the volcanoes with hot magma rising deep within the planet, essentially meant that eruptions are frequent and last long.

Forgotten moon

Aside from that, Kallabus also has a thin, faint ring made of dust. These rings are also expected to be short-lived, as the winds coming from the Arventhor and Tempris are expected to wither the rings. The rings formed from a small celestial object being destroyed by the planet's Roche Limit. This small minor moon was named then as Naadjorn-Usustha (nad - yorn // oo - soos - ta), was roughly 60-70 percent the size of Nephrin-Baeyruu, and orbited much closer. It too had a retrograde orbit and was also eccentric. Eventually, over time, gravitational influence from the neighboring moon slowly destabilized the moon's orbit, causing it to fall to Kallabus, where it was then decimated by the planet's gravity.
