Caruta

Caruta is a small terrestrial planet with a low-gravity environment, and a unique and isolated ecosystem because of it. The people and culture that come from the planet are called Caruti.
The planet is a member of the Galactic Coalition but is quite isolated due to the planet's species not surviving comfortably in a higher gravity environment, Caruti representatives will often call into meetings from their home planet rather than having to deal with the medical equipment and hassle needed to travel in higher gravity environments.

Star System

Caruta is one of four planets in a single-star system. The planet is smaller than most other planets and has only one small moon.

Ecosystem & Geography

Caruta has a deep range of biomes, with lots of plants and geographical features being quite tall as there is less gravitational erosion. The planet is also prone to heavy storms that often pick up dust and debris and make it hard to see during stormy days.

Regions

Caruti Floating Forest

The Caruti Floating Forest is not actually floating. It is merely a large forest with tall thin trees that appear to be floating or defying gravity, at least to people from higher-gravity environments. Most of the forest is protected by a nature preserve where the government protects the trees and creatures living there and allows tourists and visitors to come and enjoy being in nature.

Population

Due to the planet's low gravity, the majority of non-caruti species -especially those from high gravity environments like Enkorians - find it difficult to live on the planet as the change in gravitational forces and atmosphere can be discombobulating, because of this the planet is mostly populated with Caruti with very small pockets of other sentient species.

Infrastructure

The planet has good infrastructure, and makes use of the planet's low gravitational force, using more airship-like transports and using gases and kites in lots of their forms of transportation. The planet also has some hovercraft, but due to the change in gravity between where they are made (most are made in normal gravity environments) and the gravity on Caruta makes the hover vehicles not work.
