===Local star===
Titania orbits a white dwarf star named Taishibeth. No other planetary bodies have been detected. A major ring system of Hadaen, Cerean, and Vestian planetoids numbering in the upper billions orbits out at between four to five astronomical units and spans an AU in relative size.
Titania orbits a white dwarf star named Taishibeth. No other planetary bodies have been detected. A major ring system of Hadaen, Cerean, and Vestian planetoids numbering in the upper billions orbits out at between four to five astronomical units and spans an AU in relative size. Remnants of an orbital ring can be detected 0.75 AU from the heliosphere.


===Orbital position===
===Orbital position===
It orbits its primary at a distance of eight hundred astronomical units, 120 billion kilometers at its greatest major semi-axis. It has an eccentricity of 0.7, an inclination of 35°, and an argument of periastron of 150°. It has an orbital period of between 10000 and 20000 Terran years and a rotational period of 72 hours. It is the only major planetary body of the Taishibethi system.

It is the only major planetary body of the Taishibethi system.


===Planetary system===
===Planetary system===
It features an extensive ring-system stretching approximately four hundred million kilometers (2.673 AU) in diameter. Gaps in the ring system indicate the orbits of numerous satellites, over two hundred of which rival, or are double, the size of [[Mars]]; the rest average from between several dozens of kilometers to mere centimeters.

Two civilizations have arisen within the system, the Crystalien Hierarchy of Hierarchies within the depths of the Jovian itself, and the chthonic Hiver species upon Oberon. A refugee fleet made up of survivors from [[The Last City]] and [[The Reef]] has settled in orbit around the Obelisk.

In the midst of civil war Lyt Ahn discovered the Black Fleet long before any Hierarchical eye thought to, the methods and sciences of the archailect already quite strange. It rallied the warring fleets of the system, overriding their masters' will, and mustered for the attack. But when the attack came, it was everywhere. The Hive made the first assault, led by an unnamed son of the Taken King. They smashed the Hivers' homeworlds to pieces and waged war upon the system's star, breaking apart its arrays and orbitals, killing billions of sophonts. The Vex followed, causing havoc on Titania itself, and disrupted the Jovians. Last of all the Black Fleet's hammer broke upon the shield of the archailect. For centuries the war raged onwards—repeatedly the Hive were beaten back, the Crystaliens using the raw power of their psionics to launch endless noopathic assaults; the Vex smashed apart by esoteric warmachines designed by the archailect; and the Black Fleet clashed with the collective might of the Hierarchy in both realspace and on the Ascendant plane.

But it was all for naught. A witch of the Hive infected the archailect's systems with a Vex virus, and caused Lyt Ahn to go mad. The backlash broke the Crystalien fleets to nothingness. The way clear, the Black Fleet took advantage of Lyt Ahn's madness, locating the source of the Traveler's gift, and used the obelisk to focus their dark might upon the sun—with a burst of paracausal might it detonated, and laid waste to the entire system. The Jovians evaporated as the timeline reset, countless trillions lost to the ether, and Titania was ejected from its home system. Their mission complete, the Black Fleet departed.

Reduced to mere millions the surviving Crystaliens and Hivers reflected upon their sins, and buried themselves within their worlds. They forsook all advanced technologies and sciences, retreating to simpler methods. It took a million years for Titania to return to its home star, the ghost of Lyt Ahn guiding it back, but the damage was done. Their civilization was no more.
