Geography Since Temori is the only planet in the Peradis System with native life forms, I feel that it is most important to go into this planet's details rather than any of the other planets. The following is a map of Temori, which shows the various continents, oceans and ice caps that it has. The names of these features are basically codenames that I have given them, so they have no true meaning. Cha, Kakzul and Nornvov are the continents of Temori. Zeed and Birovad are major penninsulas. There are two oceans, the Yostric and Lufijan Oceans.
Comparison Of Temori And The Earth The following is a comparison between Temori and Earth. It gives more information than in the original version on the Peradis System page. Overall, there are great similarities between these planets. Thus, the life forms are also similar in many ways. For example, the life on Temori requires water, just as on Earth. Many of the life forms on both planets inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Carbohydrates are used by both Temori and Earth organisms. Alien species are shown here.

Temori's Satellites Unlike Earth, Temori has two satellites. The larger satellite is named Baruna, and the smaller one is named Chassid. The presence of two satellites no doubt generates unusual tidal patterns on Temori, as well as providing more illumination at night.
Baruna Baruna's shiny, gray surface resembles that of our Moon. It is covered with a sandy surface composed of glassy silica particles which gives the satellite its reflective sheen. It's overall composition is rich in metallic minerals such as iron, silicon, and nickel. The satellite's interior is relatively warm, but it is mostly solid. Thus, it has virtually no plate tectonics. Barunaquakes occur only rarely here, and they are always minor. Baruna has a large core of solid iron, but its magnetic field is relatively weak. It also has extremely thin atmosphere.
Chassid Chassid is a minute object compared to our Moon. This golden satellite contains more rock-like material than the metal-laden Baruna does. Its core is made of cold, solified iron sulfide. Because of this, it lacks a magnetic field. There is also a complete lack of plate tectonics or even an atmosphere. The satellite's low gravity makes it an ideal location for space ports.
