11th moon from Arkkanna, in between the orbits of Rauman and Jou'lian.

Derophus resembles a lot like the moon of Titan from the Solaris System. It is speculated that such moons are common. The low temperature is due to the weakening core, cooling, causing less activity and ultimately cooling the moon entirely.

Derophus has quite the resemblance to Titan from the Sol System. To recap, Arugan Moons are the set of moons beyond the orbit of Kothrann; such moons are smaller, colder, and more desolate since there was less material out there than in there. Derophus is the biggest moon of all the Arugan Moons, hence the title. Its atmosphere is quite thick for a moon of its size..

It's core is suffering a similar fate to Vortìs, albeit much faster since the tidal forces are weaker and there is not much to slow it down. Derophus has small oceans or large lakes made of a solution of hydrogen peroxide, water, and ethane.

In the end, Derophus will truly be the Titan of the Arugan Moons, for however time will allow.
