Britannian Solar System

The Britannian Solar System consists of the sun, Britannia and its two moons, and eight other planets.

The Moons that circle around Britannia are called Trammel and Felucca. The eight other planets beside Britannia that circle around the sun are, what a coincidence, exactly color-coded to the virtues and also in the correct sequence, with only Britannia between them. Following this line, these eight planets are named after the virtues Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Spirituality and Humility. Little other is known about the star system, apart from two facts:


 * Britannia has the same year length as Earth, 365 days.
 * Once every 800 years, all planets and moons are aligned in one straight line, the Astronomical Alignment.

Trivia

 * In Ultima V, the Spyglass is used to watch the planets in the night sky. If a Comet is over a planet, a Shadowlord is in the corresponding city.
 * In Ultima VII, A Kilrathi ship - namely the Bloodfang-class Superfighter - traveled through the solar system and landed on Britannian farm. Space travel was also featured in Ultima I.
