Atlas
Atlas is planetoid vulnerable to the rift phenomenon that designates it as one with the Orbital Archipelago. It is sometimes misclassified as a planet, as it is a large body that inhabits water and natural life, but it actually orbits around a larger unstable planet that holds the current label of Veta (stemming from an older name, V-Beta). Veta is actually the sixth most furthest planet from the sun in its own system, but is built of a hot core and a strange clay-like crust that insulates heat into a loose atmosphere, helping its moon of Atlas stay warm enough for its life. There's still enough distance that Atlas holds some steady rotation, though a full day is still much longer and slower moving than most other OA regions.
Atlas was once called Atylon by early ryclin settlers. It was mostly seeded with loose dryland, remote canyons, and small wooded regions where its believed some initial growth may have even been invasive species falling through rift activity. When a rift opened from another universe and planet named Vahamo, a species of humans were properly introduced to the ryclins. Upon a large wave of increasingly more deliberate entries, this species of 'Vahamins' were steadily claiming turf from minor ryclin populations, and would eventually inherent most governance over the moon as their core portion of the OA. Since then, further terraforming and control has molded the moon into even closer similarities with earth.
