Editing Necron Red II (section)

==Natural Satellite==

Necron Red II has one fairly small natural moon, Ichaya, which orbits very close to the planet and is thought to be a captured [[Dwarf planet|dwarf planet]]

From the surface of Necron Red II, the motions of Ichaya appear very different from that of our own moon. Ichaya rises in the north, sets in the south, and rises again in just 11 hours. 

Because Ichaya's orbit is below synchronous altitude, the tidal forces from the planet Necron Red II are gradually lowering its orbit. In about 50 million years it will either crash into Necron Red II’s surface or break up into a ring structure around the planet.

It is not well understood how or when Necron Red II came to capture its moon. Ichaya has a very circular orbit, very near the polar equator, which is very unusual in itself for captured objects. Ichaya's unstable orbit would seem to point towards a relatively recent capture. There is no known mechanism for a nearly airless Necron Red II to capture a lone stellar object, so it is likely that a third body was involved — however, [[asteroid]]s or other planetary bodies in the Necron System are rare.
