PLANET SUGGESTION 2.0 Note: Locked for now and ever

Name: Saraca


system: Unnamed Terran Empire system


Type: Verdant green-blue world with thousands of jungle islands dotting the surface



Size: 2.0 earth masses



Moons: 1



Affiliation: Terran Empire



Species: Native Saracan (large lizard-like creatures) population majority Imperial citizens (various species)







Info: When the First Emperor set gaze upon Saraca he was determined to bring its beauty into the Empire. To tame the wild jungle islands and bring it the light that his new empire was creating. The Emperors ship ‘Eternal Dawn’ landed first at the site of the planets current capital city, Saraca Primarious, and set about securing the planet. The Emperor quickly found out about the locals as his first battle groups meet odd looking lizard like people scurrying up the large Salvard trees now known throughout the empire for their strength and flexibility. These dotted all the larger islands on the planet. The Emperor personally came to meet these new creatures with several ambassadors. Unfortunately the talks ended in conflict and a bloody series of wars were fought over a series of 10 years as the Empire tried and succeeded in bring these new subjects to heel. The Saracans adapted quickly to the Empires weapons and by the end of the wars there were no better insurgent jungle fighters in the universe beyond the Saracan, their still aren't with many now found serving as mercenaries on the edges of survivable space. So when final peace did come to Saraca the empire instead of depopulating the planet allowed the Saracans to join the Empire as full citizens. Saraca now stands as the heart of the Empires training for jungle, semi-amphibious, and insurgent warfare, as well as the heart of luxury wood production from the Salvard trees. As such it boasts dozens of large Imperial fortresses and bases as well of some 40 smaller imperial cities aside from the capital city alongside the Saracan tree communities.

Go ahead and make one, but wait till the 26-27 to post it.

I have one

Name: Colvar
System: Alpha Centuri
Pictures: None yet
Type: Uninhabitable Dwarf
Size: .75 Earth - three fourths the size of Earth
Moons: none, asteroid belt
Affiliation: Centuri
Species: Cave-dwelling bio-luminescent worms, large mammalian snow beasts
Info: On the outer edge of the planetary system bordering Cygnus lies the planet Colvar, a small isolated planet with little to no lifeforms.  Its rocky surface is barren and craggy, pockmarked with craters from asteroids and meteorites from its surrounding belt.  The geology of the planet suggests that it was once inhabitable, with ancient tracts of water still visible on its surface, though now it has neared the edge of its orbit around the star and receives little light, only amassing the equivalent of six Earth hours of daylight.  Its atmosphere still holds a little moisture, yet due to the shortage of light the planet succumbs to sub-freezing temperatures and is wracked with vicious snowstorms.  Any dwellings on the planet are bio-domes or are built into the many cave systems throughout the planet's now-hollow core. 

Yeah, other people may visit it, but yes. That is the whole point of this thread, just pick an open spot, and use the little guide thing. Terran, Hellaren, and Taurus delta all have open spots to nova members.

Since the Terran Empire is still light on planets I'll submit another for review. 

Name: Canavar

System: Terran

Type: Ice world with tigga forests located near the equator

Size: 1.5 earth masses

Moons: 3

Affiliation: Terran Empire



Species : Native Canavarian (the legends of Chima wolf clan) Population Majority Imperial citizens (still largely natives)



Info: one of the first planets united under the first Emperors great mission to unite the galaxy located in the Terran system as its furthest habitable planet located on the edge of the system. The Emperor set out to conquer the planet and turn it into a jumping off point for the empires expansion. This fueling depot christened “Nova Terras” would become the capital city of the world which is locked in continuous winter. Except for a thin band of green located near the equator where the ice and snow gives way to tigga and evergreen trees and the only solid ground on the entire planet. The rest of the world sits atop a massive frozen ocean that some terran scientists say goes to the core of the world. Its impressive depths have never been fully explored. The local population, united under one tribal overlord, for the first and last time in their history, Meet the emperors envoys and upon seeing the might of the emperor’s armies joined the empire without condition then and their. Since that point Canavarian’s have served with honor and distinction throughout the empire, despite their own constant tribal infighting, which is only barely tolerated by Imperial overseers. Famed for their speed and strength, as well as their blood lust, they make excellent shock troopers. Found throughout Iron guard regiments in the Imperial Military as well as common in the wider galactic population when 60% of the planets initial population left their world after it was added to the empire.

Since it would appear as thought the Terran Empire continues to shirk its planet responsibilities I'll place another planet in for consideration. I should hope the Empire rallies and moves to complete its obligation to the galaxy, sooner rather than later. 

Name: Net’ hlan

System: Unnamed (but I would place forth the name Saraca Solous for consideration)

Type: Desert rock with small isolated naturally habitable areas of blue-green.

Size: 3.0 earth masses

Moons: none (Lies within an asteroid belt)

Affiliation: Terran Empire

Species: none Population made up of miners and factory workers from Imperial citizens and Saracen colonists inhabiting largely subterranean mining and factory facilities.



Info: If the Emperors first gaze upon Saraca had driven him to bring that world into the fold his first look upon Net’ hlan had repulsed him. A largely barren rock dotted with moments of blue and green in small scattered habitable areas ringing the central equatorial axis of the world. The Emperor would have left that world at that if not for the work of the surveyor crew. They, without the Emperor’s orders, had taken it upon themselves to land on the world and scout it. What they found on that world, lost inside the inner asteroid belt of the system, was a world coated in intensely valuable mineral deposits and a world in a stable enough orbit, clear of enough asteroids, and jut close enough to habitable for colonization. The Emperor allowed such work to begin and in a matter of weeks the capital factory city New Halberia was finished. The city christened after the Terras city complex where the Emperor constructed his mighty Dreadnought ‘Eternal Dawn’. This planet now stands as the heart of Imperial manufacturing in its section of the galaxy. Its shipyards, located beyond the asteroid belt, and its subterranean factories churning out arms and ships for the ever hungry empire as fast as possible.

Announcement!! This is important, please read it.

We currently have 5 planet spots left for non terrans to fill. Of those 5, only 1 is a habitable option, the other four MUST BE HOSTILE TO SENTIENT LIFE!!!

Terrans: In your system that was custom added just for YOU, there are also only 5 spots left, 2 of which are habitable. The other 3 MUST BE HOSTILE TO SENTIENT LIFE!!

EVERYONE: If at all possible, I would like the remaining 10 planets submitted to this thread by the end of january at the very latest. Don't miss out on your chance to affect the whole of the cage! It will be quite a while till another chance like this pops up, so please don't squander it!

Thanks
CCG, Nova FA and the official map maker.

That is a perfect example of a dead world. 0 moons is allowed.
