| Merén orbits the gas giant ''Series'' a bit like our ''Io'' orbits ''Jupiter'' but it is a 7 degrees removed non-planar orbit. As are all the moons. It is thought the gas giant is actually a captured planet. Merén is a beautiful world that has some of the most unusual geology in the universe: It is 1.12 mass of the earth even though is 1.8 the size because it is not made up of a solid iron core but rather a non-magnetic form of berylium silicate on a magnetic iron berylium alloy molten core. In fact it is the single most abundant source of berylium in the known universe. | Merén orbits the gas giant ''Series'' a bit like our ''Io'' orbits ''Jupiter'' but it is a 7 degrees removed non-planar orbit. As are all the moons. It is thought the gas giant is actually a captured super giant that has destroyed or recruited all the original system objects. Merén is a beautiful world, with stunning skies, and it has some of the most unusual geology in the universe: It is 1.12 mass of the earth even though is 1.8 the size because it is not made up of a solid iron core but rather a non-magnetic form of berylium silicate on a magnetic iron berylium alloy molten core. In fact it is the single most abundant source of berylium in the known universe. |

| Merén orbits the gas giant once every 24.009 hours and rotates on it's own axis once every 24.009 hours too. There is a slight polar axial tilt of 19 degrees but it is largely geosynchronously locked to continually face the gas giant on the "[[rivenface|riven face]]". Merén has poles, but also an antriven and a riven hemisphere. | Merén orbits the gas giant once every 24.009 hours and rotates on it's own axis once every 24.009 hours too.
