Updated Narrative Story
~5.5 Billion Years Ago — Birth of Varnar
A dense molecular cloud collapsed to ignite the bright star Varnar, surrounded by a spinning disk of cosmic dust and gas—the birthplace of planets.
~4.8 Billion Years Ago — Early Worlds
Close to Varnar, Veltruna formed as a rocky planet, while Tharion grew massive, gathering hydrogen and helium to become a giant gas planet.
~3.5 Billion Years Ago — Captured Moon and Chaos
Drazkul, a rogue moon, was captured by Veltruna, causing chaotic collisions that shaped the early system’s structure.
~1.2 Billion Years Ago — Catastrophic Impact
Drazkul collided violently with Veltruna, cracking its surface and scattering debris into a glowing ring, forever marking Veltruna’s geology and atmosphere.
~1 Billion Years Ago — Stabilized Moons
Tharion’s moons settled into stable orbits, with volcanic Volkris, icy ocean Eristra, and habitable Serenia quietly orbiting the gas giant.
Present Day — A System in Harmony
Varnar’s light bathes the planets. Veltruna’s scarred surface and glowing fissures tell a story of cosmic violence. Tharion’s ring system and diverse moons thrive in gravitational dance.
+3.5 Billion Years — Varnar’s Red Giant Phase
Varnar exhausts hydrogen in its core and expands massively into a red giant, engulfing or severely heating the inner planets like Veltruna and possibly Serenia, altering the system’s architecture.
+4.5 Billion Years — Tharion’s Fate
As Varnar’s outer layers swell, the gas giant Tharion is pulled inward, leading to a catastrophic collision or severe tidal disruption with the bloated red giant star.
+7.5 Billion Years — Varnar’s Final Stage
After shedding its outer layers, Varnar collapses into a dense white dwarf. The planetary remnants settle into new orbits or are consumed, ending the system’s main sequence life but leaving a haunting stellar core.
