I like your theory, but I feel as if something's off. Consider Fundament as being on the outer rim of the habitable zone. It would (I think) still revolve around its sun, but the years could again be longer. While I like your idea, and the numbers may still be correct, i don't think so many creatures could survive on a planet as far away as Jupiter is from our sun

  • That's in our system though. Different solar systems mean different Suns. Fundament's sun could be larger than our own, and a larger sun increases the habitable zone's possible area.

  • It dosent change the size of the hospitable zone it just moves it farther away, there is still a perfect zone between being fried and freezing that is required for standard life on earth and most likely other planets

  • True, that's a good point. It probably is, too, because it could pull so many life forms to it. So perhaps the OP's estimate of Jupiter's distance from its sun is more accurate than I was giving it credit

  • I chose to favor a Jupiter-based lifespan simply because, of the gas giants, it would be the shortest, which is in keeping with Oryx's claim that Hive lives are short and cruel. The point of my post, however, wasn't to tack a definitive number on to their lifespans, but to open up the discussion about what a year truly means to a Hive.

  • Well, I like what you did. I was just throwing some other options out there. And by the way, great read and interesting points on a topic that I don't think has been brought up before. Good job
