Planets Story

Some ideas of imaginary Planets for Groll's mateverse, the purpose of this research is for initiates to develop other ideas.

Skaro

The planet Skaro, named so for its similarities to the fictional version, is a terrestial planet in a fairly small solar system with seven other planets. Skaro is about 23.2 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 7.49 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 15.55 hours and a year lasts 210 days. The planet is made up of 7 continents, which make up 52% of the planet's landmass. 3 moon(s) orbit the planet and Skaro itself orbits a yellow sun in a fairly circular orbit. The plant-like organisms on this planet are almost entirely made up of grasses and bushes, both of which work together to reach the nutrients they need. Their intertwined growth leads to spectacular shapes and colors, but they leave almost no nutrients for other species. So only small flowers and some fungi manage to live of what's left. Trees and shrubs are non-existent. Survival of the fittest is not something this planet is unfamiliar with. But one species might take this a little extreme. While most weak organisms are killed by other, stronger species, this species kills its own weak. Once they've grown to a mature size and are ready to produce seeds, these species begin by growing against each other, strangling the other and using specialized thorns to inject seeds into the other. The weakest will die and be used as nutrients for the seeds inside it. However, if two of them are equally matched, both of them could be injected and thus become food for the other's offspring. The underwater world of this planet is truly a feast for the eyes. Thousands of different soft and hard coral species cover the ocean floors, most of which have a form of bioluminescence, which makes the night even more magical than the day. These bioluminescent corals offer homes to plenty of creatures, which they need to be cleaned, while at the same time trying to attract the very same creatures with their lights so they can eat them. A truly remarkable balance. If we as humans found intelligent life today, they would most likely be either millennia ahead of us or way behind us in terms of technology. Oddly enough, the higher species on this planet are somewhat equal to us. Our technology is of course very different from theirs, that's to be expected on a different planet, but our technologies are roughly capable of the same feats. However, cultural differences did lead to a few major differences. These species are far more advanced in cleaner energies, but humans are far more advanced in war machines, something which advanced a lot due to necessity, as well as space engineering and flight. If these two worlds were to meet peacefully, we'd certainly be able to learn a lot from each other.

Zenn-La

The planet Zenn-La, named so for its similarities to the fictional version, is an iron planet in a huge solar system filled with eighteen other planets. Zenn-La is about 0.9 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 1.30 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 17.44 hours and a year lasts 446 days. The planet is made up of 9 continents, which make up 46% of the planet's landmass. 3 moon(s) orbit the planet and Zenn-La itself orbits an orange sun in an elliptic orbit. The plant-like organisms on this planet are mostly trees and bushes, with only a handful of flowers, but no fungi species. The trees and bushes come in all sorts of forms, both tiny and huge. While most organisms don't have to fear being completely destroyed when eaten by animals, some have made sure they will survive either way. Some will prevent being eaten by tasting horrible, by growing thorns or by being poisonous. But there are a handful of species who, in a way, need to be eaten. When an animal begin eaten these species, they will release the seeds around the eaten area, which are either swept away with the wind or get stuck on the animal to be taken away and thus ensure the species can continue to grow in other areas. While the surface may have gorgeous forests of amazing organisms, the underwater world also has its fair share of forests. Mostly in the form of long, grass-like waterplants, but there are few dozens places on this planet where actual underwater forests grow. The species in these forests aren't actual trees, but they work in similar ways. Roots keep them in place, while a trunk helps carry the nutrients to every part of its body. At the top, branch-like tentacles grow to feed on micro-organisms near the surface. These tentacles often reach above the surface, giving the water a mysterious and eerie look. Evil alien species who wish to destroy the universe are a common theme in sci-fi movies. However, it turns out it's not that far from reality. The species on this planet are what we'd consider truly evil. Their superior technology has been the end of many species, both on their own planet and others. Having virtually destroyed most life their own planet, these hostile creatures now search the universe for resources they can use on their home-planet. No other species has had the capabilities to stand in their way, yet.

Soladus

The planet Soladus, named so by its discoverer, is a carbon planet in a fairly large solar system with seventeen other planets. Soladus is about 8.0 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 4.95 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 38.57 hours and a year lasts 110 days. The planet is made up of 11 continents, which make up 11% of the planet's landmass. 1 moon(s) orbit the planet and Soladus itself orbits a yellow sun in a wide, elliptic orbit. The plant-like organisms on this planet are exclusively different types of flowers. They come in all shapes and sizes, some are small and single stemmed, like you'd expect to find on Earth. But others are more like bushes, shrubs and even trees. Although diverse in colors, shapes and sizes, none of the organisms have developed much. Most are still in a very crude form and those that did start to develop specialized parts have still a long way to go. The underwater plants are also very basic. The steps to higher, more specialized organisms are slowly being taken, but it will take thousands of years before we'll be able to see much variation in the planet's underwater life. Reptiles, amphibians and insects can be found all over this planet. One more beautiful than the next. Mammals are non-existent, but many of the reptiles do show early signs of taking the very first evolutionary steps into mammals. One can only wonder what they'll evolve into.

Mondas

The planet Mondas, named so for the planet's properties, is an iron planet in a thinly populated solar system with only five other planets. Mondas is about 11.8 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 5.23 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 30.38 hours and a year lasts 178 days. The planet is made up of 5 continents, which make up 85% of the planet's landmass. 1 moon(s) orbit the planet and Mondas itself orbits a yellow sun in a wide, elliptic orbit. The plant-like organisms on this planet are made up of tall grasses and flowers, with even taller fungi and huge trees. Shrubs are non-existent and bushes are so rare they might as well be. While flowers come in more shapes and colors than grasses, they both share a wide variety of scents, most of which are related to the nutrients in their area. The fungi are tall, strong and, like the grasses and flowers, scented. The trees are also scented, but it's much harder to detect. These organisms may not be much more than the very basics of life as we know it, they make gorgeous landscapes nonetheless. It makes you wonder how amazing this planet will be in even 10,000 years. Surprisingly, the underwater world of this planet has an abudance of primitive hard corals, but soft corals are extremely rare and only found in very specific regions. The hard corals are mostly nothing more than a shell with a flower-like organism growing out of it, which filters nutrients out of the ocean. But these hard corals already make for a gorgeous underwater world, despite them being all fairly similar to each other. Mammals are non-existent on this planet, let alone intelligent life, but there are plenty of insects, amphibians and fish. None of them are very advanced, but they have at least evolved beyond microbes and other smaller organisms. The vast majority of the species on this planet are reptiles, many of which only show signs of becoming higher reptile species and not mammals. So only time will tell if this planet will give birth to intelligent, reptilian life forms.

Omicron

The planet Omicron Persei 8, the most popular name of the natives, is a desert planet in a fairly small solar system with five other planets. Omicron Persei 8 is about 0.5 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 1.25 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 10.33 hours and a year lasts 197 days. The planet is made up of 1 continents, which make up 85% of the planet's landmass. 4 moon(s) orbit the planet and Omicron Persei 8 itself orbits a red sun in a fairly circular orbit. The plant-like organisms on this planet are made up of millions of flowers. Their combined colors and scents make for an amazing spectacle, but they leave little space for other species, which is why there are only very few bush and shrub species. Fungi, grasses and trees are non-existent. Despite not being much more than the first baby steps to higher, more specialized species, the species on this planet already show great promise in terms of diversity and characteristics we've never seen before. Similar to the surface, the underwater world has little more to offer than basic lifeforms. However, this planet has an astonishing water world. Almost everything is covered in a type of sea-grass. This grass varies in length depending on the region, but they're all part of the same species. But what's probably more surprising are the 'flowers' you'll find in these fields of sea-grass. These flowers can only be described as primitive soft corals, but they're neither coral nor plant. Reptiles, amphibians and insects can be found all over this planet. One more beautiful than the next. Mammals are non-existent, but many of the reptiles do show early signs of taking the very first evolutionary steps into mammals. One can only wonder what they'll evolve into.

Krypton

The planet Krypton, named so by its discoverer, is an earth-like planet in a thinly populated solar system with only nine other planets. Krypton is about 34.6 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 11.34 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 15.91 hours and a year lasts 130 days. The planet is made up of 3 continents, which make up 58% of the planet's landmass. 5 moon(s) orbit the planet and Krypton itself orbits an orange sun in an almost perfectly circular orbit. The plant-like organisms on this planet are almost exclusively made up of bushes. While flowers, shrubs and a few trees do exist, fungi are nowhere to be found. The bushes managed to dominate the planet and have done so by growing in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. One species grows so big they appear to be dozens, sometimes even hundreds of bushes, but it's actually just one enormous bush. Being eaten often means the end of an individual organism or at least the part that has been eaten, but a few species on this planet have become very resilient. Whether eaten whole or in large enough pieces, these species will continue to grow and repair itself. Some will be pooped out and grow wherever it lands, with the added bonus of free nutrients from that poop. Others have become specialized in being patient and resisting acid. While in an animal's stomach, these species will transform. They'll go into what's essentially a hibernation mode, shielding themselves from the effects of stomach acids and the lack of of sunlight. Here they will wait patiently, perhaps occasionally using food in the stomach as nutrients, until the day the animal dies and thus the stomach loses its acidity. It will then begin to grow again with plenty of nutrients around it from the dead animal. While the surface may have gorgeous forests of amazing organisms, the underwater world also has its fair share of forests. Mostly in the form of long, grass-like waterplants, but there are few dozens places on this planet where actual underwater forests grow. The species in these forests aren't actual trees, but they work in similar ways. Roots keep them in place, while a trunk helps carry the nutrients to every part of its body. At the top, branch-like tentacles grow to feed on micro-organisms near the surface. These tentacles often reach above the surface, giving the water a mysterious and eerie look. War is something that has been part of human history since its dawn and while humans aren't the only species who engage in war, they are by far the most skilled in it. This planet is no different. The higher intelligence of these sentient species has unfortunately lead to almost nothing but war. Fortunately they aren't as technologically advanced as humans yet, they're in a stage comparable to that of the middle ages, so while they are destructive, their planet isn't at risk of being completely destroyed. However, these creatures do fight with a lot of destructive force, often using poisons and diseases to kill their enemies.

Qo’noS

The planet Qo'noS, which is a name which is still disputed, is an ice planet in a thinly populated solar system with only five other planets. Qo'noS is about 2.6 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 0.32 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 46.22 hours and a year lasts 323 days. The planet is made up of 11 continents, which make up 78% of the planet's landmass. 2 moon(s) orbit the planet and Qo'noS itself orbits a yellow sun in a circular orbit. The plant-like organisms on this planet are dominated by various types of grass, but they only reach short heights. However, they're the cause flowers and fungi are non-existent on this planet, as they absorb all the shallow nutrients. Trees, bushes and shrubs thrive well, as they can reach the deeper nutrients. They reach incredible heights, especially the trees, who sometimes block out too much light for the lower layers. With the exception of a handful of species, none of them have developed into anything advanced. Most species still rely on simple photosynthesis to survive. A few species do have the basic beginnings of thorns and specialized leaves though, but it will be a long time before those are fully developed. Corals, although very basic, can be found all over the planet's oceans, seas and lakes. While they lack the bright colors and odd shapes you'd find on Earth's corals, they do have the makings of a varied aquatic wildlife, with an abundance of gorgeous species. You will not find any intelligent life forms on this planet, but that doesn't take anything away from the astonishing beauty of the life forms it does have. Insects, reptiles, amphibians, fish and even the first baby steps to mammals can be found on this planet. The insects have evolved the most out of these species, but the amphibians have evolved into the most varied and surprising species.
