Dathis II
Solar System
Dathis II is the ninth planet in a thirteen-planet solar system orbiting the red dwarf star Bolarus. Three other planets are inhabited. The colonies on Bolarus VII and Bolarus X are mainly focused on planetary science studies; the Bolarus XIII outpost concentrates on warp technology research. Bolarus IX features four moons known as Dorin, ALat, Kot, and Rim (names derived from figures in Bolian mythology). The moons follow similar orbital paths, but travel at different speeds. This causes severe tidal conditions and seismic instability on the planet's surface; it also disrupts the planet's orbital rotation, significantly slowing and speeding it up at different times of the year. Bolian chronographers (calendar-keepers), geologists, and oceanographers often have their hands full dealing with the moons' effects on their planet; however, advanced technology has eliminated many of the problems which the moons have caused historically.
