Viroga is a type L3.5VI with an average surface temperature of 1,800°K and a radius of 40,000 km and is categorized as a brown dwarf. It is orbited by a single planet with a single natural satellite. Viroga is very young with the most recent estimates placing its age at about 350 million years old. Scans shows that the object is convective and may continue to shine and produce heat for another 500 million years or so. This object is located in the Fjotlan Cloud, a collection of stars just outside of the gravitational influence of the Devaq Cluster making it independent from the latter.

Viroga I
Viroga I is a planet that orbits the brown dwarf Viroga at a distance of 0.0055 AU (830,000 km) and takes about 3 days to complete an orbit. Viroga I is a heat reducing world with a scorching hot day side and a very cold dark side. The temperature in the day side typically reaches 370°K while the dark side plummets to about 180°K. It is very cold that the atmosphere in the dark side freezes. A temperate area, called the terminator zone, is located between the dark and day side of the planet where a few primitive plant life thrives, however, animal life is very unlikely due to the extreme temperatures found in this planet.
Viroga Ia
Viroga Ia is the natural satellite of Viroga I and is located at a distance of 23,000 km from the surface of its primary. Both it and its primary are within the habitable zone of Viroga making it possible for liquid water to exist in the surface and the development of life. As it orbits Viroga I it experiences a day/night cycle and it produces a strong enough magnetic field due to an iron snow dynamo effect. It is believe that if life exist in this world, it would have first appeared about 200,000 years ago and the first advance civilization existed at around 10,000 years ago.
