Oarasal System
Planets
Deseri
- 1 Moon- 1.8 AU from Xcezere
Like most of the first planets in a solar system, Deseri is a very hot planet. Mostly comprised of deserts, a handful of small inland seas dot the North and South Poles. Aside from them, there are very few surface sources of water, and most animals have some way to burrow into the ground to reach the water table, where many waterlogged cave systems exist.
Despite being a mostly desert planet, life flourishes on Deseri. From the dune-sized and dune-shaped erevins to the sandflies and sand guys, there is no shortage of peculiar animals to marvel at. The entire planet has a fairly consistent dry, hot climate, while few tropical rainforest run around the Equator.
Melriph
- 5 Moons- 2.5 AU from Xcezere
One of the more unusually coloured planets, Melriph possesses striking biomes. Around several continents are the famed blue savannas, known well beyond Melriph and into the galaxy. After all, the native melriphians have found themselves inhabiting countless other planets, and are referred to as "hiphops". Melriphians are lovely people to come across, as they always have love to give.
Melriph has a current population of 3 billion, which is 1 billion away from its estimated maximum capacity. Many melriphians are beginning to move to other planets, which is much more commercialised now that space travel is the norm for these people. Unfortunately, many can't afford the luxury of travelling to a new planet and so are forced to remain on Melriph.
Laosina
- 2 Moons- 3.9 AU from Xcezere
Laosina is by far the most diverse planet it terms of peoples, cultures, climates, biomes, and wildlife. It is mostly inhabited by invertebrates, many of which are in the Insecta class. The native laosinans are a species of mantis, and are generally quite a shy species. Their Laosina Space Legion has made no impacts on the galaxy, and instead they serve as an information distributer since they are conviently located on a Galactic Highway intersection.
Laosina is the most known planet outside of the Oarasal System. Laosinans have a few operative bases on various moons in other solar systems. Laosinans use complex portals to take resources from various planets, a sneaky way of benefiting themselves while trying to remain unseen by native sophonts.
Ilititne
- 310 Moons- 20 AU from Xcezere
The largest planet in the solar system, Ilititne is twenty million times the size of Melriph, the solar system's smallest planet. It is a gas giant, comprised of seventeen layers of varied gases and debris. Throughout the planet are rings of molten metals, such as mercury, gallium, gold, lead, iron and copper. Unfortunately there are no native sophonts, which means corporations from other planets are harvesting as many resources they can and affecting the native ecosystems.
Ilititne's 310 moons have a drastic effect on the planet. Once every ten million years, all of the moons orbiting the gas giant reach the farthest point in their orbit cycle together and the planet expands by about 30%. Every time this happens, the planet experiences mass extinctions, wiping out roughly 60% of all life. The next date for this event is in roughly three thousand years.
I think Melriph is my favourite, I want to know more about the blue savannahs! :D
Guess I know what to work on next :P
