Ecliptica

The credit for the inspiration of the name goes to Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica. The name has been taken from an album of theirs known as Ecliptica. Created by Alphonse Cypher ( Not the band, the article)
Ecliptica is the largest and outermost satellite of the planet Cadmeia. Ecliptica is unlike all the other satellites of cadmeia in a retrograde orbit around the planet as it was captured as a moon when it passed too close to cadmeia. This perturbed the orbits of many moons and caused collisions between them and cadmeia which triggered the ecliptican epoch. Slowly however Cademia cooled and regained most of its moons and now ecliptica like triton of Neptune, is the ruler of the cadmeian moon system comprising 60 percent of all mass within the cadmeian planetary system. The moon itself is covered with jungles of alien plants and has oceans and a variety of alien animals

Geography

For a satellite, eclipticas surface is geologically quite young with very few impact craters. Around 60 percent of the planets surface is covered with liquid water and the moon has a permanent ice cap at its polar regions. Unlike cadmeia , ecliptica has comparatively earthlike temperatures and despite being bombarded with radiation is still habitable and can even be called a paradise in some aspects. Ecliptica is mostly composed of mountainous highland terrain with dense forests on the lower parts. The moon is geologically active and has volcanoes and tremors. The moon is covered in 4 continents and a large archipelago of islands in the souther regions of the planet. Ecliptica is a very beautiful world indeed. One can get beautiful views of cadmeia and it appears much larger than even Jupiter as seen from the Jovian moons

Natural Resources

Ecliptica is a resource rich moon of cadmeia. It contains the rare metal known as eclipticium which is very resistant to corrosion and is used by the cadmeian blood dragons to manufacture special corrosion resistant heat to fight against the plague gods followers. Besides this the moon is also rich in volatiles like water, ammonia, methane etc and also heavy metals and elements like uranium, titanium, iron, tungsten, silver etc

I'd personally put the information about how you got the name under the "AUTHOR'S NOTES". That area seems more suited for info like that. Ecliptica and Cadmeia seem to be occasionally uncapitalised and don't forget to link Cadmeia to its article. The cover you use is nice but horribly pixelated. I'd consider replacing it with something more high res.     I'll avoid critiquing the science parts as I'm a simple person, but from what my basic brain could comprehend it seemed reasonable :) Keep up the good work, and I hope my comment helped a bit!
