Aekallia is a rather Earthlike planet in many respects, capable of sustaining a very rich ecosystem of life.

Aekallia orbits its sun, Sola, at a distance of roughly 105 million miles and has a diameter of approximately 7,500 miles.   Aekallia is tilted at 20 degrees to its orbital plane and is orbited by two moons - one large moon named Lunatero with an orbital period of 24 days, and one smaller potato-shaped moon named Lunatic with a highly eccentric polar orbit of 100 days.

The planet Aekallia is mostly covered in water, with the major land masses all located on one hemisphere of the planet.  The four main continents are  Essurio, Dzongoo, Doroonia, and Proglotnii.   Essurio and Dzongoo are temperate and mid-sized.  Doroonia is hot, with rainforests and deserts.  Proglotnii is northern and chilly.  These are believed to have been  part of the same continent, dubbed Pancaek by geologists, that broke up well over 150 million years ago due to plate tectonic action.

The other hemisphere of Aekallia is covered by a large ocean and a rumored "fifth continent."   No exploration missions to this continent have ever returned.
