Kerbol Binary

[RocketSquid]

I've decided to make a planet pack of my own. It will be centered around a red dwarf called Kermol, orbiting Kerbol far beyond the outer edges of the stock or OPM solar system.

The planets [Subject to change]:

Spoiler

Kermol: A small red star, orbiting Kerbol. 
Tracking station description: "For years, Kermol's discover was hushed up because it violated the conventional wisdom that stars don't move. Even today, astronomers hold some resentment towards it."

Ruk: Generally similar to tylo, but even bigger (1.1 g at the surface). Contains a large amount of ore, minerals, and metals due to asteroid impacts, but if you aren't ready to deal with such a big planet, you could always stick to its moons.
Description: "A big, rocky planet. After its discovery, several days were spent trying to get a picture of it and tylo in the same room, before the realization that planets would not fit inside of rooms. It seems to eat asteroids."

Ruk's moons:

Spoiler

Auro: a captured asteroid made mostly from heavy metals, meaning it has a lot of GOLD! Also some lead, and some platinum-group metals, and some uranium, and so on. 
"Despite its small radius, Auro has a fairly high gravity. Scientists predict that it is made primarily out of heavy metals, some of them extremely shiny"

Ferro: A captured asteroid based on 16 Psyche: the wandering core of a destroyed protoplanet. 90% nickel-iron. Mineable refined metals. With kerbal health, it has a strong magnetosphere.
"This asteroid is made almost exclusively of nickel-iron, with an extremely strong magnetic field. It was probably once a planetary core."

Volo: A captured carbonaceous chondrite. Has a lot of ore, and with CRP has minerals, dirt, and ExoticMinerals.
"The lightest of Ruk's moons, Volo is mostly carbon, with large amounts of the elements most necessary for kerbal life."

Shelb: Weird bubbly world. Sort of eggshell textured, but with big bumps on the surface caused by gas bubbles that formed while the planet was molten. Some gaseous resources are available by mining.
"This small, smooth world has an extremely low mass for its size, creating speculation on its origin. Leading scientists agree that it solidified from a sort of cosmic bubble bath, but are still looking for the rubber ducks that would supply final confirmation of this theory"

Triinus: Covered in clouds. The surface consists of rocky pillars and plateaus sticking out of a planetwide ocean. The atmosphere is oxygenated, but the hazardous terrain and poor visibility make trying to fly there hazardous. 
"An exceptionally mysterious world, Triinus is shrouded in a thick cloud layer. What could be under there? The Kerbal Astronomical Society's funds are on dinosaurs."

Kobol: A world that may once have been kerbin-like, but experienced a catastrophic extinction fairly recently. The surface is a wasteland and with kerbal health the whole planet is a bit radioactive. Atmosphere is oxygenated, though, and there are a lot of resources available on the surface.
"Named after the mythical Kobolds, Kobol is very Kerbin-like, with an oxygenated atmosphere and a similar gravity. Unfortunately, the surface is covered in a glassy substance, and the atmosphere is full of radiation. Oddly boxy shapes litter the surface."

Smobol: Kobol's only moon. A pink colored icy moon. Has algae growing within the ice in some biomes, which can be harvested for food or fertilizer. 
"The small, icy moon of Kobol, Smobol is similar to Minmus, but is expected to have more of a strawberry flavor. It has a tenuous atmosphere of carbon dioxide and oxygen."

Baritune: A blue gas giant with some music-note-shaped storms. 
"Despite its deceptive appearance, scientists have informed us that Baritune is not made of water, nor is it some sort of secret musical message."

Baritune's moons

Spoiler

Gralia: Innermost moon of Baritune, rocky with extensive ice deposits and some tall mountains

”The innermost moon of Baritune, Gralia replenishes Baritune’s ring with its cryovolcanic activity.

Halia: Covered in salt, with various small, briny seas. Has a thin atmosphere of oxygen and chlorine.

”Although its surface is well below the freezing point of water, Halia has multiple seas of concentrated brine. Its atmosphere is thin and caustic, but nonetheless has oxygen due to subsurface chemical reactions.

Nolia: was a fairly standard ice moon until its outer layers were stripped off by a massive collision. Mostly metals

”Nolia was once an icy moon like Vall, but experienced a major collision which sent the outer layers flying into space.”

Rimia: very irregularly shaped moon, with thick ice layers on the leading side of the planet, and a thinner more feathery texture on the trailing side. 

“Rimia’s unusual shape leads scientists to believe that it formed quite recently when a small, rocky body passed through a cloud of water vapor and ice crystals.”

I have a good idea of how world configs work, but I'll have to learn to doing when it comes to height and normal maps.

If anyone has suggestions they can feel free to post them!

Congratulations in advance.  It is always exciting to see someone new throw their hat into the ring.  Good luck!
