Places of Note

Orbit & Rotation

Relative to the background stars, it takes the Rroo'tah, on average, 24 hours, 30 minutes and 5 seconds (one sidereal day) to rotate around the axis that connects the north and the south poles.

Rroo'tah orbits Zoleteb at an average distance of about 975 million kilometers (604.5 million miles) every 2,965 mean solar days (one sidereal year). Thus, while a Rroo'tahnian day is only slightly longer than a Terran day, a Rroo'tahnian year is equal to 8.3 Terran years.

Satellites

Though none were naturally formed, a number of space stations(See Axalon V) and ships are often in orbit around the planet. One such station, the most notable in the night sky, is the captured cometary body now dubbed the Luna Prisma.

Habitability

See also Plants of Rroo'tah and Species Native to Rroo'tah

Rroo'tah can and does sustain a wide variety of life, moreso than Earth. This is due to a combination of naturally-occurring factors, and elements introduced by the various domain lords. Some domains, however, are very inhospitable.

Population

At it's most populous, Rroo'tah had approximately 10,006,839,000 native inhabitants.
