Planet Ashroar Ashroar is a class M planet with
one major difference from all other Class M planets. If Earth is a Size 3
planet and Saturn is a Size 5 planet Ashroar is a Size 7. This is the largest
of all Class M planets and has a massive diversity of life forms and terrains. Fauna: Amongst the many rare life forms
this is the only planet where Ents exist. The Northern Coffin Forest is home to
the largest trees in the known universe and home to Coffin Ents. They appear to
have evolved millions of years ago and have protected their planet from loggers
and strip miners. The Bull Wolves that roam the forests can be persuaded by the
ents to attack much larger creatures. Most Bull Wolves stand around 12 feet at
the shoulders and have been known to come into cities and carry off cattle or
even people. There are rumors that they have tracked and killed Titians that
have hunted them. The Southern ocean has the Fall
Grass Whales which have the ability to fly. They are massive creatures that stretch
over one hundred meters long and wing/fin spread almost as wide. No one has
been able to study they effectively to see how they fly, but it is presumed to
have something to do with one of their glands. The Osculating Sensor Gland in
the Fall Grass Whales has been proven to be a pure source of magic. Once
removed from the creature it is a massive battery for magic and known to have
been used as a weapon in the past. Tiamat herself lead the battle to get
ownership of the gland outlawed, punishable by instant death. The Dragon Corps
Elite troops practice here though this is still an independent planet and not
part of the Federation. Flora: The super
rare Ceramite Oaks are only known to naturally grow on Ashroar. The tree has
been known to reach over one hundred thousand meters tall and a diameter of seven
hundred meters. The rare trees have been planted on other worlds but none have
grown to any notable height. The trees are thousands of years old produce
enough shade for entire cities to live under. [There are currently NO settlements
in the vast Ceramite Oak Forests] Hyper
Sappers are a rare and extremely dangerous, carnivorous plant that kills over a
thousand visitors every year. They are difficult to notice and live mainly
underground with large leaves that splay out to entrap prey that wonders by.
The Sappers dispense a toxic gas that explodes and knocks their targets unconscious.
The plant then opens it splayed leaves and dawns the prey into the maw at the
center of it’s stalk. The Sapper then submerges the prey in a pocket filled
with toxic acids that dissolve the prey for the next twenty months. They excrete
a nerve gas that paralyzes the prey while in the pouch. The prey tends to
perish within a week of being in the acids. Sapper Beetles
live inside the Hyper Sapper acid pouches and feed off the corpses that fall
inside. They are resistant to all the toxics that the Hyper Sapper exudes and
has been studied for over the last two hundred years. The beetle seems to need
the toxic environment of the Sapper to survive as once they have been removed
they tend to die within minutes. Civilization: There are
three main cities on Ashroar. The Primary city is Delta on the
northern hemisphere off the coast of the ocean. It currently is home to over
three billion souls and has an ent population of three thousand. Tourisms makes
up the primary method of income here for people on vacation, hunters, and survivalists.
Second is
the Mega Towers of Philippian Three. With a current population of over twelve
billion it the towering cities south of Delta make up the densest population on
the planet. The towers go as far underground as they do above. Some of the Mega
Corp towers reach over five hundred stories above ground and two hundred
stories below. The most popular location of any of the Mega Corporation to have
their headquarters in the universe is on Ashroar and in Philippian Three.
The final
major patch of civilization is on the southern continent just above the southern
tundra regions. The efficiency of the Ice Farmers is overwhelming as they are
able to fill Galaxy Class Haulers in almost a week. There are currently six
companies using the region for this purpose and they have not even touch the
natural ice on the planet yet. Other Animals Jasper Rats. They feed on grain and live in the plains. They
are about 6 feet at the shoulder and their front teeth are almost three feet
long can bite through ceramite Youngins are a super fast canine that is basically the dog
version of a cheetah Boggles are Enormous spherical creatures that bounce
everywhere. They taste like buttered corn. Small ones are called Boggpops since
you can scoop them up and just pop one in your mouth. Big Boggles get to be
fourteen feet in diameter Lar'Jaxx are sleek and small mammals that hunt from the
trees and drop on their prey. They are only about two to three feet long (like
a giant Ferret) and can carry over a thousand pounds Lar'Jaxx dragg their pray back to their den for their young
to eat. [Quote from Gray “Holy shit, everything is terrifying on
this death planet.” Mole Bear is a Giant (18 feet at the shoulders on average)
burring rodent that will walk right up to a person. They are delirious too. Someone
could survive for a month on just one if prepared correctly
Slime Hoppers are like really big Grasshoppers that are
about three feet tall and can be taken down easily. They don't taste very good
unless you are into raw slugs, very salty.
