7th Planet from Arventhor-Tempris. Lies in between the orbits of Arkkanna and Ikaris.

Tarsaeas is the closest planet to Arkkana's. It is often dubbed 'Guiding Light' due to its brightness from the Arkkanian or Hyperan skies. It is the most visible when Tarsaeas is right behind Arkkana, giving the look of a faint green star. It is also known for its strange color, mainly due to the high Nitrogen concentration. Its rings are similar to those of Arkkana's, with the outer ring being considerably smaller than its inner counterpart. Jatharis is the most popular moon in the Tarsean System, mainly because it is the largest of the other Tarsean moons, boasts a thick atmosphere, and has liquids on its surface.

Planet Lore:

Tarsaeas is the 7th planet from Arventhor and Tempris, and it is also the third largest planet of the Antarius System, right behind Ondriall. It is known for boasting a large moon system, along with a complex ring system carved over time by its moons. Tarsaeas is very popular in Hyperean Culture, with many non-Creationists (the Hypereans who believed in a Creator, often dubbing Him as "Father"), and was worshiped. When the Hypereans we new to the Universe, they used Tarsaeas to guide themselves on long voyages. They would use the planet as a marker, using it to know where they are going. If they are flying and see Tarsaeas going East to West, they know they are going eastward. Similar to how the Terrans used Polaris to guide themselves. Tarsaeas was worshiped and known as a deity, often personified as a large, emerald Hyperean with light so bright, that he took off some parts and threw them into the sky, creating the stars. Hyperean culture and folklore are complex, just like that of the Terrans.

Onto a different topic, Tarsaeas is also known to be similar to Arkkana, often perceived as its "lesser twin." Both planets hold a huge amount of moons, boasting large rings, and are relatively habitable. The first moon, Foroth, is the closest moon of all the others. It has an equatorial ridge, due to the buildup of materials and dust from the rings. Because of the Roche Limit, the moon has cracks formed over thousands of years from the gentle tugging and stretching of the moon and the planet's gravity. The second moon, Jatharis, is habitable. Not so much for Terrans, as concentrations of other gases that Terrans can't breathe are higher. Jatharis is relatively cool, with large ice caps and rivers, spanning all over the moon. Jatharis had a rough past, and it is quite obvious. The inner Tarsaean system--like many other planetary systems--was chaotic. Jatharis was bombarded with asteroids, and gravity didn't spare it. Most of the other moons past Arrax's orbit have thick atmospheres, mainly Vannomia, Thalouruta, etc. etc.

Tarsaeas doesn't have life. There are, however, simple microbes, but they are rare to find and live off of photosynthesis. Its atmosphere is generally bluer than its bands, signifying the higher content of blue gases, like oxygen. It's moon system and rings are a beauty to look at, and while it may seem impossible (said the naysayers), the high material content of the Tanis Nebula, and the position of the Antarius system allowed just that to happen. Overall, Tarsaeas is a great planet to explore and visit, offering amazing views, with complex and intricate environments on each of its moons.
