Pruvon
The planet pruvon is an alien habitable world in the Leosus System. The world is highly dangerous to visit.
The planet is best known for the species of strange, hexagonally shaped colonies of plant life. Strangely, these often stack on top of each other and bioluminess. Between each layer are bioluminescent orange flowers. These hexagons are seen all over the world.
There are also large carniverous plants on the world. These use hearing and visual sight to find nearby prey before grabbing them with large tentacles, dragging them into its mouth.
Furthermore, there is a species of fungus that excretes acid that can damage other organisms. Sometimes the acid is strong enough to corrode metal buildings or starships, though more modern TGX Composite is immune to this almost entirely.
The planet also contains natural deposits of strange matter. This should be impossible according to all laws of geology as strange matter is a form of QCD matter and is formed inside neutron stars. However, the material is metastable outside of a neutron star. It is postulated that a neutron star somehow got destroyed, releasing its strange matter to be introduced into this planet.
Due to this, the natural gravity of the planet can vary significantly, especially underground. The Hyperion Federation mines the QCD matter because if its mass-density.
Spoiler
(During the Xadia - Rikavi War, this planet was orbiting the neutron star with the strange matter. In attempts to destroy Xadia war efforts, the Rikavi Ancients obliterated the neutron star there. Pruvon became a rogue world and wondered the cold cosmos for millions of years before finally being captured by Leosus.)
