Kappa Carcia II
The 2nd planet in the Kappa Carcia System, which is jointly owned between the Sulethis Republic and Tranal Nomads.
Kappa Carcia II's major feature is many ancient wreckages around the world, indicative of a long lost civilization. It is likely that this was a pre-space, information-era age civilization that released a massive amount of pollution into the atmosphere long ago as most of the atmosphere is now carbon. Furthermore, less than half of the ocean is now water, which is what it probably used to be. The planet has a significant magnetosphere and frequent lightning strikes when the weather is relatively cloudy, which can make it useful for electromagnetism research and studies. The SR and TN has long recovered many ancient technologies, which after reverse engineering, has provided both with an insight and have allowed them to upgrade their computers, railguns, electromagnets and more.
The TN normally doesn't settle on planets, partially for reasons similar to how this civilization probably fell, but the potential information that could be gained was significant. Also, the system is mobile, massively reducing the 'static weakness' of each planet in the system. It is probable that the final several generations fought for survival in this extremely hostile environment of their ancestors' creation. As the ruins are still standing, it is likely the civilizations collapse was relatively recent...
The atmosphere is still extremely dangerous to breathe. It is so poisonous that it might harm one if they make contact with it. Furthermore, the planet is very hot due to the sheer thickness of the atmosphere. All personnel on the planet would have to live in large dome-like enclosures or wear very effectively sealed off PPE. The high carbon content can make it difficult to see further than about 4 meters and can cause significant dustfall to the ground.
