  1. Speaking of Bajor, it's the 11th planet of its system, and the largest.
  2. It has five moons, including a really large and really close Ceres-like moon.

  4. https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/2/2f/Bajoran_system.jpg/revision/latest?cb=2... here's a LCARS graphic, making it the most well-described system in all of Star Trek aside from the Solar System and IIRC a background system from TOS trek.
  5. There are 14 planets in total, and if they are shown to scale it looks like most of them would be comparable to dwarf planets in size and mass.
  6. They are also burning up, with most of the orbits being much lower than Bajor.

  8. It looks like two or three worlds could be in the habitable zone.

  12. There's a "plasma field" which I imagine is some kind of thin superheated gas torus caused by the wormhole.

  14. Bajor appears from the surface to be a single-biome planet: a warm-temperate lush planet. From space, deserts can be seen.

  16. Bajor's fifth moon, Jeraddo, is apparently an atmospheric body, implying that the planet Bajor is in a binary system with this object. In order for Bajor to hold onto four other moons this would seem to imply that Jerado is fairly distant, meaning Bajor probably has a big SOI.

  18. (At least as big as Earth's) This tells us that the sun is probably not much less massive than the Sun, Bajor is further from its star, or that Bajor is more massive than Earth (but lower in density to account for livable gravity and the close moon)

  20. https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/9/92/Bajoran_sun.jpg/revision/latest?cb=2010... this picture of the Bajoran Sun would seem to indicate the star is near the temperature of the real world Sun, perhaps a bit cooler.
  21. Comparing the blue value of the bright part of this image to the equivalent blue value you would get from the color-temperature relationship finder, the star glows at 5318 Kelvin.

  23. That would be G9V, with a mass of 0.84 Msol and a luminosity of about 0.6Lsol. Habitable zone would be from 0.736 to 1.06 au.
  24. GregroxMun
  25. Confusingly, Memory Alpha says that Bajor 8 is habitable, with Bajor 11 being the homeworld. Bajor 8 appears to be a Mars-sized world orbiting where Mercury might in our solar system.
  26. GregroxMun
  27. We could retcon Bajor 8 into Bajor 10, which could be in the inner habitable zone if Bajor 11 is towards the outer edge.
  28. Alright I'm done with Bajorspam.
