Cela
The homeworld of the Saelian Coalition. It is cold on the surface.
During the Saelians' information age, the world was knocked out of its orbit, but shortly after, it re established orbit. This effectively increased the orbital radius, making the planet colder. Any patches lacking snow are visibly purple from orbit. The unique bacteria which evolved on this planet gives it the purple colour. As purple is on the high frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum, this bacteria attempts to reflect purple light as to not damage its cell structure. However, a strange liquid with healing properties exists on the world. This is called Healing Liquid.
Cela, like any other planet in the Ukots System, is well defended by the rest of the federation especially since they swore to defend all species homeworlds. After being mined for so long by the saelians, though, Cela has been exhausted of almost all raw resources. There are some groups that have performed core extraction, but due to the sheer amount of lives on the world they are very careful as to not destroy the magnetosphere or effect the surface at all.
Cela also has 2 moons, but one of them is far too small to have any noticeable impact on the world itself. The larger, and closer, one has a large colony on it and a population of several hundred million. This moon acts on Cela's tides similar to the moon-Earth interaction. Cela also has a significant asteroid ring, which has been mined on many times in history. The closer moon is mostly dark but also has a slightly blue colouration when viewed from orbit, except for any terraformed locations or cities. From the surface, this moon is peppered with impact craters and is quite dark. The slight blue colour comes from the incredibly weak atmosphere it has which is mostly a dark blue chemical. The 2nd moon appears to have a more red colour. This chemical composition is unlike anything else seen in the Ukots system, so it is theorized that this moon was originally a rogue world from another star system. This might also explain the slightly colder than predicted core.
Cela has a magnetosphere that is more powerful than on an average world. Due to this, the saelians have not needed to evolve very powerful radiation resistance during their pre sentient history, which has harmed their early space travel history. To get across this weakness, they have engineered a radio tropic fungus that grows as a radiation shield around the ship. This radiotropic fungus is now also seen around several locations on the world that do have a relatively high background radiation (which is too weak to harm saelians but powerful enough to feed the fungus). Cela was also the final planet to come under siege during the long, bloody suon-saelian war. The United Nations of Tebburus fought incredibly well to destroy any final remains of the saelian military in space and came very close to destroying the rest of the Saelian Coalition's entire military before the final forces surrendered, ending the war. After the war, both star nations would go on to become very close allies, surprisingly to many, despite the saelians' initial attempts to enslave the entire Suon species.
