2nd moon from Endriall. Lies between the orbits of Viris and Yiman.

Tavithor, also known as Antarius CIIIii (otherwise known as Kaotetra Cb, colloquially known as 'Tavin' by the Terrans), is a habitable moon with a diverse biological ecosystem, complex surface features, and vast biomes ranging from sparse deserts to the thick jungles and towering mountain peaks, all of which host an assortment of life. Due to the heating from both Kaotetra and Endriall, the moon has a largely hot, humid, and tropical climate creating large clouds, often concealing the surface. The tropical and warm climate induces storms of various sizes almost constantly, along with fueling them for long periods. Tavithor's slight tilt results in a much more uniform heating across its surface, causing less variation between seasons. A large band of clouds lies on the equator, bringing forth large amounts of rainfall, which is almost always present here. This again increases the humidity and heat, fueling the band's size and longevity. Tavithor boasts large, dazzling auroras due to the moon's relatively strong magnetosphere and proximity to Endriall and Kaotetra. Some CMEs and Solar Flares coming from Kaotetra allow for large auroras.

Tavithor history is rich, with various battles taking place, the folklore, and several other things. Tavithor was known for its significance and importance in the Battle of Endriall. Giving context, the battle was fought between the Tevarion and the Altyrrion. These two Aurean nations clashed and fought hard, with the Altyrrion eventually liberating the moon, the planet, and the other moons, from Tevarion control. It was during this time that Tavithor housed the 2500-HCR Astareus, a one-of-a-kind ship with only one other ship of the same class being built known as the 2100-HCR Atharus. Astareus was built on Hyperthor, the latter of which was built on this moon, Tavithor. It is important to note that both ships were constructed and launched before the Aurean Great War (colloquially known as the Aurean Civil War). The Astareus was kept here for modifications, and it was when an ample amount of progress had been completed when the Tevarion attacked. Not long after, the Astareus was quickly transported and hidden within Endriall, holding out until the distracted and caught-off-guard Altyrrion came. The Battle of Endriall ensued. The Tevarion made one last effort to win by destroying Tavithor, which fortunately failed when the Astareus slowly emerged from Endriall and fired its 1000-KCL "Retribution" kugelblitz lance (essentially blackhole gun). Many more events took place here, but the most widely known was this battle.

Tavithor also held some other importance not only to the Altyrrion but also to the Aurean and Hyperean civilizations as a whole. Its materials were of heavy interest, primarily Parvor. Parvor is an exotic substance used for the fabrication of some electrical systems on advanced weaponry and spacecraft. It had several other electrical uses when tinkered, whether as an electric inhibitor or a conductor. The refining process influences the properties, as different manners bring forth different abilities. Another material native to Tavithor is Tiexnit. Is a valued mineral used for several subsystems. It is yellow in color when refined.

Tavithor is filled with many wonders. From the deep oceans to the vast and lush jungles, there are always new things to be found. Go, and be the first to find them!

Creator Remarks: 

"This is by far one of my best creations. I love everything about it. I decided to bring back volumetric clouds, and it was definitely worth it. I made the auroras with cubic fractal, and they look like some auroras from KSP planet mods like Galaxies Unbound."
