Krefton
Krefton is a terrestrial planet with a thick atmosphere that is rich in nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor. The planet has a moderate greenhouse effect that keeps the surface temperature warm and humid, around 30°C on average. The planet has a day-night cycle of about 18 hours, and four seasons that vary in length and intensity depending on the planet’s axial tilt and orbital eccentricity.
Krefton has a lush geography, with most of the surface covered by dense and diverse vegetation. The planet has various landforms, such as mountains, hills, valleys, plateaus, and basins. The planet has abundant surface water, such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and swamps. The planet also has frequent rainfall, thunderstorms, and fog.
Krefton has a rich and complex biosphere, with many different types of plants and animals. The planet has various types of plants, such as trees, vines, flowers, fruits, and fungi. The planet has various types of animals, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. The most dominant and intelligent species on the planet are the Kreftites, who evolved from an ancient lineage of mantis-like creatures .
The Kreftites are a very ingenious and resourceful species, who have developed a sophisticated and unique civilization on their planet. They have bio-engineered the insects around them into the tools and resources that they need to thrive. They use their antennae to communicate with their insect allies through chemical signals or vibrations. They use their mandibles to manipulate their insect allies into performing various tasks or functions. They use their claws to control their insect allies through physical force or intimidation.
Trantikor
Trantikor is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere that is rich in carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor. The planet has a weak greenhouse effect that keeps the surface temperature hot and dry, around 200°C on average. The planet has a day-night cycle of about 20 hours, and four seasons that vary in length and intensity depending on the planet’s axial tilt and orbital eccentricity.
Trantikor has a volcanic surface, with frequent eruptions, lava flows, and ash clouds. The surface is mostly covered by igneous rock, such as basalt, granite, and obsidian. The planet has various landforms, such as volcanoes, craters, ridges, and plateaus. The planet has very little surface water, except for some hot springs or geysers near volcanic vents. The planet also has a strong magnetic field, which protects it from solar wind and cosmic rays.
Trantikor has a few native life forms, mostly adapted to the high temperature and low oxygen environment. The planet has some simple plants, such as algae, fungi, and lichens, that grow on rocks or near water sources. The planet has some small animals, such as worms, insects, and crustaceans, that feed on the plants or each other. The most dominant and intelligent species on the planet are the Bouldroks, who evolved from an ancient lineage of silicon-based creatures.
Phevoti
Phevoti is a terrestrial planet that orbits a yellow-orange star, which is slightly cooler and dimmer than the Sun. The planet has a moderate axial tilt, which means it has some seasonal variation. The planet’s year is about 450 Earth days long, and its day is about 35 Earth hours long.
Phevoti has a thin atmosphere that is mostly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, with traces of water vapor, methane, and ammonia. The atmosphere is breathable for humans and most other life forms, but very dry and cold. The planet’s surface pressure is about 0.8 Earth atmospheres.
Phevoti’s surface is mostly covered by a supercontinent and some small, shallow seas that are frozen on the surface but liquid below. The continent is divided into several regions, such as the polar caps, the tundra, the taiga, the grasslands, and the deserts. The seas are salty and mineral-rich, which support a diverse and complex aquatic life.
Phevoti’s most unique feature is its interstellar dust cloud that hides most of the stars in the night sky, which is caused by its location in the galaxy. The planet is situated near the edge of a spiral arm, where the density of dust and gas is higher than in other regions. The dust cloud scatters and absorbs most of the light that reaches the planet, creating a dark and mysterious sky. The dust cloud also affects the climate and weather of the planet, as it reduces the amount of solar radiation and heat that reaches the surface.
Phevoti’s most remarkable feature is its flora and fauna, which are adapted to the harsh environment and diverse habitats of the planet. The plants are squat, spongy trunks with broad red leaves, which are the dominant vegetation on the continent. The plants have a photosynthetic process that uses infrared light instead of visible light, which allows them to survive in the low-light conditions. The plants also have a defensive mechanism that releases toxic spores when threatened or damaged.
The animals are mostly predators that take their prey by engulfing it, which are the dominant animals on the planet. The animals have a digestive system that uses enzymes to liquefy their prey instantly, which allows them to consume more food in less time. The animals also have a reproductive system that causes them to liquefy themselves when they die, which prevents their corpses from being scavenged or decomposed.
Zavius
Zavius is a terrestrial planet that orbits a white star, which is hotter and brighter than the Sun. The planet has a low axial tilt, which means it has little seasonal variation. The planet’s year is about 350 Earth days long, and its day is about 30 Earth hours long.
Zavius has a thick atmosphere that is mostly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor, with traces of carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. The atmosphere is breathable for humans and most other life forms, but very hot and humid. The planet’s surface pressure is about 1.2 Earth atmospheres.
Zavius’s surface is mostly covered by jungles, forests, and swamps that are rich in organic matter and nutrients. The land is wet, fertile, and green, with many plants and animals. The most common vegetation is a type of vine that can grow on trees and rocks. The most common animals are insects, birds, and reptiles that have adapted to the tropical environment.
Zavius’s most valuable resource is the Zavite Crystal, a rare and powerful material that can be used for various purposes, such as energy production, weapon development, and scientific research. Zavite Crystals are found in deep underground caves or near waterfalls, where they are formed by high pressure and temperature. Zavite Crystals emit a bright glow that can be seen in the dark, and have different colors depending on their purity and composition.
Zavius is inhabited by several factions that have different interests and challenges on the planet. Some of these factions are:
The Scientists: The human researchers who came to Zavius to study its ecology, biology, and geology. They have a scientific culture that values curiosity, discovery, and cooperation. They use advanced equipment and facilities to conduct their experiments and observations, and wear protective suits to cope with the heat. They are friendly to other humans who seek knowledge or collaboration, but wary of the Kreftites who attack them.
The Kreftites: The alien invaders who came to Zavius from another planet in search of resources and territory. They have a warlike culture that values conquest, domination, and violence. They use bioengineering technology to create and control their weapons and vehicles, and wear armor to enhance their strength and agility. They are hostile to anyone who opposes or resists them, especially the humans who they consider as inferior.
