Vixina

== Overview ==
Vixina is a habitable planet 7.92 billion light-years from Earth. It is the only object in the Jezonea System to have life. The planet takes 31.25 days to orbit its red dwarf star, and has a 2:3 resonance with its rotational and orbital period. Overall, the planet is very similar to Earth, with an ESI of 0.969. Vixina is the second-largest planet in its system, and is the densest planet in its system. Vixina is very old, with an age of 12.4 billion years. Vixina has a diverse biosphere, and is home to an intelligent species which populates the planet at around 13 billion individuals.
=== Atmosphere and environment ===
Vixina is a marine planet with several large landmasses, most of them separated by thousands of miles. The ocean in question is made of water with a very small trace of sulfur dioxide, and is up to 9.6 kilometers deep, not much deeper than Earth's Challenger Deep at 10.9 kilometers. Vixina's land is mainly flat with some volcanoes and hills. The atmosphere is 3.7 times thicker than Earth, with a similar composition of 74.5% nitrogen and 19.5% oxygen. Not so similar is 4.35% water vapour and 1.63% carbon dioxide, with traces of sulfur dioxide, argon, neon and carbon monoxide. 8.22 kilometers above sea level, the atmospheric pressure is the same as Earth.
=== Moons ===
Vixina has 4 moons, the second-most of any planet in its system (it is tied with the sole gas giant Nosonja for second-place). It has 1 major moon, Gojassi. All 3 minor moons orbit Vixina in a retrograde direction (the orbital direction is opposite of the planet's rotation). The 2 largest and inner minor moons (Alpha and Beta Quani) can be seen from Vixina, while the outermost 4 kilometer-wide Kilons can not be seen, and is the only one that isnt tidally locked.
==== Gojassi ====
Main article: Gojassi
Gojassi is the innermost and largest moon of Vixina, and is a decent Moon analog.
Gojassi measures 1584 kilometers in diameter and takes only 11 hours and 37 minutes to complete an orbit. It is the second-largest moon in the Jezonea System, and the densest major one, at almost 5 g/cm3. Gojassi has an apparent size of 4º15' viewed from Vixina, compared to the Moon's 0º33' when viewed from Earth. Due to Gojassi's nearly 0 inclination orbit and high apparent size, solar eclipses on Vixina will always and only happen near the equator. Gojassi is filled with craters and mountains.

== Biosphere ==
Vixina has around 15 million species, with 10 million of them being aquatic. Most land animals are omnivores, due to the abundance of both plants and animals. Some insects-like creatures are relatively very smart, even having social skills and teamwork capabilities similar to humans. The aquatic side consists mainly of social herbivores and a small amount of carnivores.
== Vixinians ==
The Vixinians are the dominant species of Vixina. They are an advanced species that has colonized most of their system, and have even started to fund development into near light-speed travel. Most Vixinian nations are monarchies, with a couple dozen lower ranking individuals. There are 16 billion Vixinians on Vixina, with 2 billion more on other objects of the Jezonea System, and 10,000 in other star systems.
=== Interest in astronomy ===
Up until the first manned flights to space, most Vixinians had very little interest in space. Tens of thousands of years ago, the planets beyond Vixina were thought of as deities in many religions. Once telescopes were invented, those religious beliefs were destroyed, and most Vixinians just moved on. All the planets and moons (Vixina and its moons included) were indeed named after deities from Vixinian religions.
=== History ===
==== Early history ====
The Vixinians evolved around 600,000 years ago. At the time, and for 90% of their history, they traveled in clans and mainly ate plant-grown food. Around 160,000 years ago, Vixinian clans started to cooperate with each other, helping each other to gather food, and to protect themselves from animals or even other clans. Not long after, Agriculture was discovered, and now gathering food from trees was no longer a risky process. At the time, Vixina was far more humid that it is now.
Around 60,000 years ago, widespread agriculture and more diplomacy between clans led to some of the first decently-sized villages, with the largest having hundreds or sometimes even thousands of individuals. The Vixinians were no longer tons of distant clans doing their own thing - they were now society-building, mostly peaceful creatures.
From 50,000-30,000 years ago, not too much development outside of societal growth occurred. Towns kept getting bigger, and agriculture became more standardized and controlled. At the time, the largest settlement on the entirety of Vixina hosted 10,000 residents, with most large settlements including this one having gridded streets, neat infrastructure, and economies, sometimes even trading with nearby villages.
=== Middle history ===
18,000 years ago, the first nations rose up, and methods of transportation via animals became widespread. At this point, Vinixians today consider this the first year of the Vixinian calendar (a.k.a year 0), and will be used for now on. Most nations at this time left each other alone to work on their own goals.
Around the year 1334, a 160 meter-wide asteroid impacted Vixina, causing the death of 350 million Vixinians and a societal restart. By the year 1700, everything got sorted out. Starting in the year 3000, the Vixinians started to gain an interest in astronomy, observing the planets and portraying them as deities protecting their planet.
