Rho Tasralas IV
A planet in the Rho Tasralas System.
Rho Tasralais IV was a relatively cold world that contained mostly valuable metal, such as gold. The amount of this material was very low however, but the planet was very safe to extract due to having a near-frozen core. Very few geological events would happen so it was quite easy to protect workers form the cold conditions with PPE. Another hazard was that the planet was dark. It was quite distant from its parent star and as such received little light.
The planet was mostly comprised of water before it was Planck-Dismantled. Signs of microbial life have been detected on the planet, so the Hyperion Federation studied this and concluded no macroscopic lifeforms ever evolved on the planet. It is likely they have not received enough energy through photosynthesis. By performing deep scans on the planet, the HF was able to determine a lot of factors about the alien planet allowing life to exist in its primitive state. No ruins or technologies have been discovered on the planet other than that of the HF.
Unlike the other planets in the system, rather than disassembling the planet from its current orbit, the HF has put engines similar to those on Planetcraft and landed the entire planet on the Dyson Sphere. This way, they could use the nearly unlimited energy already present to refine material and construct new sectors without requirement for very complex logistical efforts of shipping the entire planet to the Dyson sphere. This was possible to do with this planet as it was frozen and stronger structurally, as opposed to lava planets with a thin crust and gas giants.
