Luna is the larger of Avaya’s two natural satellites. It orbits at an average distance of 384,400km, about 30 times the diameter of Avaya. Tidal forces between Avaya and Luna have synchronized Luna’s orbital period (lunar month) with its rotation period (lunar day) at 29.5 Avayan days, causing the same side of Luna to always face Avaya. Luna’s gravitational pull - and, to a lesser extent, Sol’s - are the main drivers of Avaya’s tides. Nora is situated in Avaya-Luna L4, and is roughly one-sixth the size of Luna. The first human-made objects to fly to an extraterrestrial body were sent to Luna, starting in 1959 with the intentional impact of the Rosen Republic’s Luna I probe. The first soft landing was conducted by the Sayan Union, with Paix VI’s landing on the Lunar North Pole in 1963. On 2 July 1968, humans, for the first time, stepped on an extraterrestrial body, landing on Luna with the lander Gloria of the Rosen Republic’s Odyssey 7 mission. The Rosen Republic sent six more crews between 1968 and 1973, and the Sayan Union landed their own crew in 1971, ending the space race. Further exploration took place in the 2020s, catalyzed by establishing extraterrestrial industry on Luna’s surface. In 2032, with the construction of the Libertas Lunar Base, the Rosen Commonwealth became the first country to establish a permanent presence on Luna. Since then, the West Ayan Republic and Saya have also established bases and industries on Luna.
