Hi! Thanks for reading my article. This page is no longer being developed, as i have left the wiki. Have a great day though!
=Echon=
== History==
Echon has one of the longest, and maybe strangest, histories in the universe. Spanning across 13.5 billion years.
=== Ancient History===
13.2 BYA - 7 MYA
Echons Ancient History is the period between its formation and the evolution of Kalon.
====Formation====
13.2 BYA - 13.15 BYA
Forming 13.2 billion years ago, Echon is one of the first planets in the universe. Orbiting a giant Quasi-star, given the unofficial name “Qernos”, it was able to grow to become a colossal Gas Giant, 17x the mass of Jupiter, mostly composed of Helium, Oxygen, and Xenon. Not much is known about this period, but most scientists believe these theories as it lines up with the current climate, rocks, and atmosphere of Echon.
==== Burnisc====
13.15 BYA - 12.6 BYA
The Burnisc was a hellish period on Echon where Qernos aging and expanding pushed the habitable zone further out, putting Echon close to the star. The heat and gravity slowly ripped off the atmosphere, leaving behind a bright blue and green trail an estimated 19.4 million kilometers long. There would have been giant red and green glowing bands of helium and other gases around the planet.
Large rock comets hit the planet, forming a huge rocky core on the inside, which trapped lots of gases from the atmosphere under it in huge systems of lava tubes and caves.
====Kenorisc====
12.6 BYA - 12 BYA
This is a period in history where the atmosphere was almost completely ripped off, leaving the rocky core alone. As the star began to die, a nearly 100% Ve4 gas giant, Lemson, flew by the System, capturing Echon around it as a moon. It flew away from Qernos, cheating death. The rocky core released lots of gas as the lava cooled down, forming an Oxygen-Xenon atmosphere and water oceans,
Though, the atmosphere began to snow down as it got too cold, forming giant ice sheets. The gas giant escaped the gravity of the galaxy, leaving Echon and Lemson floating through the void together.
====Helsinisc====
12 BYA - 8.1 BYA
As Echon floated through the darkness, tidal forces created a system of plate tectonics, which are still active to this day.
Any observer standing on the surface could watch the evolution of the Milky Way, as it formed and stars were born, a beautiful sight.
Meanwhile, in a distant corner of the galaxy, two binary neutron stars begin spiraling closer and closer, until they finally merge and explode, destroying a nearby red hypergiant as well, creating a giant black nebula, 1000 LY across. In its interior, a stellar nursery existed, where many protostars began to form. The inside of the nebula would also be lit with starlight, making it bright red and purple.
====Precorkeisc====
8.1 BYA - 7.4 BYA
The precorkeisc began when Lemson and Echon entered the Milky Way, headed straight for the nebula. As they entered it, small fusion reactions began on Lemson, turning it into a Brown Dwarf.
The System, now in the nebula, had something miraculous happen- They flew directly at A new Protostar. As they began a flyby, Echon was ejected into a large 1.66 AU orbit from the star, as Lemson continued on.
By pure chance, Lemson flew by a dense reigon of mass in the Protoplanetary disc, changing its trajectory and sending it on a new path. One that lead to a direct head on collision with the star.
Both objects were completely vaporized, mixing all of the gases together in just a few days. As it collapsed again, The fusion of Hydrogen began in the core, forming a new star- Jelian. 
Lots of debris and asteroids began to impact Echon, similar to its original formation, creating massive water oceans, heating the planet, which melted the ice sheets, releasing the atmosphere. Viewed from orbit, it would have looked no different from a planet that formed normally, without the insane amount of coincidences that let it exist.
====Corkeisc====
7.4 BYA - 7.1 BYA
As the ice melted away, the many chemicals and organic compounds in the water began to stew in the shallows. Eventually, through unknown processes, the first cells emerged on Echon. The oldest fossils can be found at Fejaok Hotspot, a small underwater volcanic hot spring area in the Melos islands. The first cells were small and spherical, but quickly evolved to include Flagella, Spikes, and even small Harpoon like mechanisms that fire at and puncture other cells, destroying them so their insides can be eaten. The life evolved in shallower areas, as the oldest fossils can only be found a few kilometers below the ground, just off the coast.
Plate tectonics seem to have slowed down during this time as the planet switched to a Quad-Polar magnetic field, leading to better radiation tolerance being evolved.
It took 200 million years for the first multicellular life to emerge, when cells began working together to create large plant like Sponges, and eventually Corals and the still existing Asanaip Sea Trees, which grow at depths of just a few meters, but grow to just below the sea level with their leaves to absorb more sunlight.
====Norborisc====
7.1 BYA - 6.8 BYA
The Norborisc lasted 300 million years, and was a period where strange fish and other animals began appearing all over the oceans, similar to the Cambrian Explosion on earth.
Some of the species that appeared during this period, like the Flohu, Bensapain, Losm, and Ereaeer, are still alive today and maybe even flourishing more than them.
=====The Great Dying=====
Up to 79% of species were wiped out, by a event where an ancient moon entered the Roche Limit, being torn apart, which created a beautiful system of rings that still exists today
====Geynoisc====
6.8 BYA - 4.7 BYA
It took a LONG time for plants and animals to reach echons surface, not appearing until the Tersuinisc. During the Farallisc, however, Life stayed in the ocean, diversifying and conquering deep sea climates, like the Zensa Trench or the frozen Lake Yontup.
Besides that, not much happened.
====Tersuinisc====
4.7 - 3.2 BYA
During the Tersuinisc, Life left the oceans, spreading plants onto land, creating giant trees and animals in the High Oxygen environment. Most early land animals were Ceylok, large reptiles with patches of hair on their tails and sometimes wings.
Also during this time, a large Bioluminescent Algae bloom created the famous Yohot Point, where the old algae light proteins make the rock formation glow at night.
====Verslaisc====
3.2 BYA - 900 MYA
In the Verslaisc, Ceatures on land continued to evolve, creating Allosib, Large scaly mammals that use egg laying (basically, warm blooded reptiles). 
Another event was the Verslaisc-Gerbaisc Extinction event, where a large asteroid impacted Echon, causing a great extinction event. 
==== Nogeisc====
900 MYA - 72 MYA
The Nogeisc saw life start to take to the Sky, with features evolving wings. These “Areosaurs” (they have no word to translate to in English so they have been given this nickname) were the dominant rulers of the planet, having bodies the size of giant earth planes and feeding on microorganisms that live in clouds, until the Desorvian Extinction.
===== Desorvian Extinction =====
This extinction event killed 89% of species, including Areosaurs. An asteroid impact triggered an Impact Winter, which in turn froze more ice, leading to a Half-Snowball Echon, Where unfrozen areas could only be found below the Tropics. In just 30 million years, the ice sheets started to retract, leaving a new echon, with lots of species gone.
====Gerbaisc====
72 MYA - 30 MYA
In the Gerbaisc, Allosib began Speciating into higher species, like Kalon. Climate shifts forced them into a herbivorous diet, still practiced today, due to the evolutionary success of it leading to the trait never disappearing.
====Ilonierisc====
30 MYA - 10.2 MYA
Kalon gain consciousness and intelligence, a huge leap in evolution for echon. They continue to evolve as packs of Kalon form and exist for a few million years, besides that, not much happens in this period.
====Fejernorisc====
10.2 MYA - 625 TYA
Around 10.2 million years ago, Kalon gained even higher intelligence, similar to if not higher than our own on earth. Packs continue to grow
===Modern History===
====Welonisc====
625 TYA - Present
The Welonisc contains the entire history of civilization on echon.
=====Stone Age=====
-625,000 - -430,000
During the Stone Age, Kalon existed as hunter gatherers on the eastern coast of their home continent, Vancaroe. They never have left this area during the past 11 million years due to the Hovaw mountains, blocking them from leaving the area. They begin development of Stone Tools, often made of Obsidian due to its abundance in the reigon. For now, they only exist as small clans of 20-300 individuals in their homeland.
=====Neolithic=====
-430,000 - -125,000
The Neolithic saw the agricultural revolution

== Home Star ==
=== Lux Aeterna ===
Jelian, Echon’s home star, is rich in Walentite, an element formed in extremely low concentrations the very early universe. Its supply was transferred from Lemson, and may be the only large deposit of it in the universe. Walentite has two very useful and strange properties not found in other elements:
# It bends spacetime around it, and focusing a lazer onto about a handful of the material will create a Wormhole with one end where you focused the lazer, and one end orbiting next to Jelian, just about 10 million KM above its surface.
# Breaks the laws of thermodynamics by reacting with hydrogen in Jelians core, forming WaH3, a molecule composed of 1 Walentite and 3 Hydrogen. This releases energy just like Fusion in our sun, but then the molecule destabilizes a milisecond later, but no energy is lost. It creates energy and light out of nothing, then breaks apart into fuel again. When near other phases of fusion (helium, carbon, silicon, etc) Walentite will force it to break apart back into hydrogen atoms. This lets Jelian live infinitely long, surviving beyond the very heat death of the universe. Eventually, all that will be left in the cosmos will be Jelian and it’s 9 planets.
The process of Walentite fusion is still being understood, but it breaks physics. The chemical formula looks like this:Wa + H7 -> WaH7 -> Wa + H7 + Energy
