Geminias
Geminias is the innermost, major moon of Aurora and smaller of the two Bakhtyamov moons. It has the highest density out of any natural satellite in the Helios system despite only being the fourth largest moon in the system. Geminias’ surface is defined by extensive geologic activity due to the gravitational effects of Aurora and its neighboring Saggitor and Orionite. This has led to high levels of volcanism which paint the surface a bright yellow by expelling sulfur from Geminias’s rocky interior.
Geminias was discovered alongside Saggitor by Ivan Bakhtyamov, who named it after the Astrologican constellation Gemini, representing innovation and lawfulness. Geminias has been extensively surveyed following the 1945 survey of Aurora by the Meridian Commonwealth, revealing the planet’s unique composition and extensive volcanic activity. More recent visits have led scientists to hypothesize that Geminias could host extremophile life forms adapted to its volcanic interior.
