Helios

Helios is a mid-sequence star with a planet orbiting around it called Helios Prime. The inside temperature of Helios is unknown, but scientists are certain its really, really hot with virtually all resources. That is if you can get into it without being crushed by the immense gravity and being burned alive.

Helios Prime is primarly a desert planet that may be devoid of life. But if you look in the lower lands, life is starting to repopulate the planet as terraforming efforts were made long ago by an unknown species. However, their terraforming efforts were not enough to make the air fully breathable, or get rid of the dangerous storms, but they were successful in lowering the temperature, somewhat. Now Helios is a semi-habitable planet with resources plentiful, but no trace of Platinum in site. Ice though, poses a challenge because it is the most rare resource on the planet. Also the name Helios and Helios Prime are both interchangeable for the planet.




Helios
Gravity: 5.00G
Average Temperature: 10000F (Inferno)
Resources: All but Ice
Heightmap: 512px (from ATA Stars)
Recommended size: 19km
(It will be around 70-80km due to the star’s clouds being much larger than 19km)
*If spawned at 120km it will be around 500km, which I do not recommend due to size when far away.
Helios Prime
Gravity: 1.15G
Average Temperature: 98F (Hot)
Resources: All but Platinum
Heightmap: 2048px
Recommended size: 60km or 120km

To spawn planets, be sure your an administrator and do SHIFT+F10 you should then select planets, and you can find both Helios and Helios Prime in the planet list.
