Obrassis Major

Obrassis Major, also known as Obrassis Prime or Obrassis-5, is the capital planet of the Obrassis System and the capital planet of the Tekan Empire. It is a lush, blue and green world filled to the brim with life. Obrassis Major is the home world of the Cervians, the civilization which was born upon Obrassis Major. The Cervians control part of the Tekan Empire, with it being split among leaders from the 8 civilizations apart of the empire. 
== Planet Information ==
Obrassis Major is a rocky, large planet with liquid water oceans and an oxygenated atmosphere. It is the only body in its system known to be able to sustain life, as well as sustain liquid water upon its surface. Obrassis Major's atmosphere is able to block almost all of the harmful UV radiation that hits it, as well as being re-enforced by its powerful magnetosphere. 
=== Atmosphere ===
Obrassis Major's atmosphere mainly consists of nitrogen and oxygen, with their being small amounts of greenhouse gasses, mainly carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Its atmosphere protects the surface from most of the harmful solar wind and cosmic background radiation. Obrassis Major has a dynamic atmosphere, with heat being transferred around the planet via wind flow keeping the temperatures at a relatively stable 17.3 °C (63.14 °F). This allows for ecosystems to develop and temperatures to be sustained around the planet.
=== Size and shape ===
Obrassis Major is approximately 16,264 kilometers and has a mass of 2.6033 Earth masses. Obrassis Major is rounded into an ellipsoid, with the planet bulging its equator due to tidal forces exerted from its large moons and its very fast 13-hour rotational period. This spinning is what generates the planet's day/night cycle and enables the core to produce its magnetic field. Obrassis Major has a thin crust which is where most of the planet's magma chambers are, although most are deep within the mantle. 
=== Surface features ===
The surface of Obrassis Major is mainly covered in water, with a ratio of about 68% water to 32% land. Obrassis Major has an active surface, powered by an active crust which merges with different plates to create ocean basins, valleys, trenches, and mountain ranges. Most of Obrassis Majors surface is covered by foliage, however there are areas where life is miniscule, due to hot or colder temperatures. They are known as the great deserts and are only inhabited by minimal life or Cervians. Obrassis Majors moving crust means continents are drifting and come together and break apart every couple hundred million years.
=== Moons ===
In total, Obrassis Major has 16 moons, 3 of which are major moons which are actively used by the Tekan Empire's reign. These moons affect Obrassis Major's tides, are responsible for the planet's slowing rotation, and cause the planet to slightly bulge and the equator. Taleko is named after a Cervian deity in ancient mythology and is the closest and smallest of the three major moons, completing an orbit every 12 hours. Obrasson is the second closest moon, being named after the first head of the Tekan Empire's Cervian rulership branch. It completes an orbit every 23 hours. The largest moon of Obrassis Major is Thalasis, completes an orbit every 44 hours and was named by ancient Cervians which observed the stars. Thalasis is a barren and hot desert moon large enough to retain its own atmosphere, as well as the location of where the majority of the Tekan empire's military equipment is serviced and stored. The other 13 moons are small dwarf moons. They are only mined for their resources. 
== Biosphere ==
The Obrassian biosphere is one of the most unique found anywhere throughout the Tekan's rule, with the world being a preserved place - the environment is not allowed to be modified unless by the natives of the planet, the Cervians. Obrassis Major is home to over 23 million species of organisms. The surface is mainly covered in large foliage, with different climates having different ways of life and lifestyles. Life on Obrassis is slow and laid back, with the governmental powers doing everything they can to not interfere with people's daily lives, but still prospering. 
=== History of Life ===
Obrassian life is vast and diverse, which is one of this world's many treasures. Life exists here by oxygen respiration, similar to most life elsewhere in the galaxy, undergoing evolution to adapt to its environment, and has been for billions of years. Life first emerged on Obrassis Major approximately 4.2 billion years ago, relatively soon after the planet's formation. It took just 400 million years between the first unicellular organisms to the first multicellular organisms, with life evolving quite fast and only 20 million years later, life emerged on land. Starting off as mostly reptilian species, soon after algae and other plant-based lifeforms began inhabiting the land of Obrassis Major, which eventually lead to its nearly global forests and diverse land-based ecosystems. Land based life developed the ability to breathe oxygen, a major advantage which advanced all land-based life. The earliest known ancestors of the Cervians were around 5 million years ago. Only around 500,000 years ago did the Cervians evolve from their ancestorial species, quickly evolving in strength and intelligence, becoming the dominant power on Obrassis Major. 
=== Life on Obrassis Major ===
The way of life on Obrassis major goes by an old saying, "Ol altmite fel'imo me seya neymyan al seya me torune" (What you give to the planet, the planet will give back to you.) Life on Obrassis Major is slow and relaxed, which is why the happiness index on the planet is very high. The preserved beautiful forests, rising mountains and vast oceans are all spectacles of life which are a must see upon visiting or living on the planet. Historically, the environment on Obrassis has been protected and preserved since the Akanuul (Environmental) act of 2663 TSC (Tekan Standard Calendar). Ever since, natural wildlife on Obrassis Major has been thriving due to no longer needing to buy land on Obrassis Major, with land on other planets up for grabs instead. 
=== Climate ===
The Obrassian biosphere is quite diverse - with life teeming seemingly at every corner of the planet, from on the surface, lush and beautiful rainforests, to the darkest depths of the ocean, still not even fully understood by the Cervian inhabitants. With the planet's dynamic atmosphere, certain areas receive more recourses and heat than others - prominently at the equator of the planet, where the temperature stays warmest year-round. However, due to the planets 4-degree axial tilt, there are not seasons on Obrassis Major, with climate zones always staying consistent throughout its orbital period. Life has adapted to these conditions, and at the equator, life is more diverse and complex. The tropical forests and oceans of Obrassis house the most species, making up a crucial part of the planet's ecosystem and food chain. Life towards the poles and in subpolar region's is less diverse, with more animals adapting to specific conditions. Nevertheless, Obrassis Major's biosphere is still a host to many deadly and beautiful creatures.
== The Cervians ==
The Cervians are the native species of Obrassis Major, with their earliest ancestors having appeared almost 5 million years ago. The cervians race is highly intelligent, going from a type zero civilization to a type 2.3 civilization in a matter of a couple million years. The cervians have a rich and vibrant history, with a flourishing culture and religious prosperities, they are united under the cervian common law - a sacred document in which unifies all people of their race. 
=== Appearance ===
Cervians have a humanoid-like skeletal structure, with long tails and bodies covered in fur ranging from red to yellowish blue. Underneath their fur, cervians have a pale-white skin. Cervians have a highly advanced sense of smell and sight - with 4 eyes capable of detecting the slightest movements. They are muscular and strong, capable of moving at max speeds of 50 km/h. They have hundreds of millions of scent receptors within their noses. Cervian males tend to grow to an average height of 5'6, while females grow to an average of 4'9. Their shorter heights corollate with Obrassis Major's high gravity. Along with advanced senses, Cervians also have 2 legs, each foot with an opposable thumb in which their ancestors used to survive deadly predators. They also have 2 arms, in which they use to go about their daily lives. These arms have hands which also have opposable thumbs. One of the most notable features about Cervians is their large, slanted gray horns in which grow on their heads. These horns are only present on males. 
=== Culture ===
Cervians, while often called scary looking, they are quite peaceful creatures. They tend to stay out of conflict when they can and would rather just make small talk with other people. The Cervian leaders of the Tekan Empire are very careful in their ways of ruling, making sure everyone gets benefitted from an action they pass. Cervians have also incorporated religion into their daily lives, believing in an elder deity who will punish them if they start committing wrongdoings. The tales of "The Deity" (ma Kamla) are often told to children to remind them what will happen if they become bad people. Cervians have buildings of worship where they can ask for favors Ma Kalma, who will answer them if they do enough good deeds. A common tale told is of a legendary warrior in history who saved the cervian race from an inherited darkness, along with Ma Kalma. He was known as Tumla, and according to cervian legends, he watches over young cervians and guides them down the path to a good life.
=== Language ===
throughout history, there have been many different languages spoken across the planet, some well-known, some not. Most of these languages are no longer spoken, after the adaptation of a unified world language in order to advance their species to a multiplanetary status. The universal language is known as Tekanal, which is spoken by every Cervian, and lots of other civilizations apart of the Tekan empire. Most cervians are bilingual, speaking their native language as well as knowing languages of other civilizations. Communication is key when it comes to running a galactic civilization, so knowing other civilizations languages is incredibly important. 
==== History ====
Tekanal was first spoken by the conquers of Aborsta, fierce warriors who fought against tyranny in major world superpowers, their goal to unify the many nations of Obrassis Major. They managed to unify the people and revolt against the four superpowers, ending wars and killing off tyrants. Following the deaths of major superpowers, a new leader rose up and created the Unified Obrassian Federation, a globalist regime which favored the interests of the people. The first push was to find a language in which all cervians could learn, and honoring the cervians who fought for world peace, Tekanal was chosen as the language. 
== The Tekan Empire ==
The Tekan Empire is an interstellar federation that goes by the ideology of a constitutional republic, with branches of government spread out throughout its galactic arm in which regulate and control other areas of the empire. The Tekan's goal is unified peace throughout the entire galaxy - However, there are geopolitical and social conflicts in which they constantly involve themselves with.
