Stratos I is one Stratos's two significant moons, and orbits the planet at a distance just shy of 146,000 kilometers, while it is in 1:2 resonance with Stratos II.
Formation
Stratos I is thought to have been formed through a collision of a smaller body with Stratos in the early stages of the Tendor System's formation, similar to that of the Anterian Moon. The hypothesized collision would have ejected a large amount of debris into orbit around the planet, most of which fell back onto Stratos, while what remained in orbit coagulated to form what is now Stratos I.
After its formation relatively close to Stratos, the moon slowly migrated outwards while slowing down the planet's rotation, and it likely could've migrated as far as 500,000 kilometers from the planet if Stratos II were not captured and put into orbital resonance with Stratos I. Currently, the moons are still slowly migrating outwards, though by the time the even Stratos II leaves the Stratoshian sphere of influence, the sun most likely would have left main-sequence a long time ago.
