Dragaera

Speculative Planetary Statistics for Dragaera (Math help?)

Inspired by the "Small Invisible Lights" website going away, I've been 
working on porting some of the Dragaera information this site used to 
provide into the wikicity. 

Having some free time, I've been trying to figure out some of the 
planetary stats for Dragaera. (SiL used to have a page about the Dragaeran 
planet and star, such as its orbital tilt, etc.) 

This led me to want to create at least speculative values for some of the 
other planetary characteristics of Dragaera.

The result is a (admittedly preliminary and somewhat dubious) speculation 
page about Dragaeran planetary stats on the wikicity:

http://dragaera.wikia.com/wiki/Speculation:Dragaera

What I'm really looking for at this point, is either someone to check my 
math (haven't done any real math work since college, lo these many years 
ago, and it isn't a major area of study for a Music Major like myself, 
anyway) as well as maybe provide some clues about how to calculate the 
orbital velocity of a planet when you "know" the mass of the star, the 
planet, and the duration of the oribtal period. 

Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks!
