Demet

Demet is the fourth planet in the Lambda System. It is a Te-Class Earth analogue. Once a failed human colony, it is now home to the demihuman demetian species, humans that were hybridized with native animals to better suit the environment, with subspecies variations in the une, ald, and prifeli. 
The name of the world comes from the old human name, Demeter, twisted by centuries of isolation. 
== Description ==
Demet is the first body ever attempted to be colonized by the people of Kyandor. As the technology to automatically adjust human physiology did not yet exist, a few batches of demihumans were created. These demihumans were released onto the planet with rudimentary tools and weapons to spread and conquer. The human ship's ATLAS took the role of an overseer, and ensured each had ample room to grow by placing each on a separate continent. 
The ald were placed on what would be known as Aldmis, a continent in the western hemisphere. The une would be placed on Parvisua in the east, and the prifeli, despite the circumstances of their creation, would be placed on the continent in the south that they named Prifelica, in much the same way as the ald.
The planet's nations grew to encompass the surface, with as little five before a period of strife reduced them to component states. The aldic Holy Province split as faith and governance became separate in the eyes of its people, and a failed and costly war caused the Mors Dominion's split into six separate states. 
== Moons ==
Demet holds 2 moons inside its sphere of influence. One slightly larger and one much smaller than the earths moon. Both are host to Unem Void Response installations.
=== Ingens ===
Injens is Demet's nearer moon, an icy body of 157% of the mass of Earth's moon that orbits Demet in only twelve days. Its nearly craterless surface is maintained by cryovolcanism fueled by tidal heating from Demet and Vegran, causing water from its liquid mantle to surge onto the surface through cracks created by tectonic activity. Its proximity to Lambda and Demet allowed it to maintain an extremely thin oxygen atmosphere, one thick enough to cause a haze on the horizon, but not enough to greatly affect its temperature. 
=== Vegran ===
Vegran is Demet's further moon. It orbits Demet in just over 24 days, caught in a 1:2 resonance with Injens. Its bold coloration comes from having large amounts of both Iron and red clays on its surface. Mineral deposits and its low gravity makes it a favored spot for starship construction by the native Demetians. The massive dark crater on its southern hemisphere is thought to have been formed when a smaller third proto-moon collided with it, causing its current orbital inclination of nearly eight degrees relative to Demet's equator. 
== Seasons and Climate ==
The planets axial tilt and wobble leave its seasons unchanging, the north half in a perpetual winter, the south half always summer. 
The antarctic circle only covers 5 degrees surrounding the south pole and the north 25 percent of the planet is the arctic circle. 
== Life ==
By Earthly standards, native life is extremely primitive although strikingly similar to Earth life.
Small primate like animals were the basis of experimentation to create the four intelligent races living on the planet. The Ald, Unem, Prifeli and Saraph. They are classified as Pseudo-Panspermia, or life helped along its evolution by outside sources.
