Mongija

== Introduction ==
Mongija is a planet in the Kaoddux system that is mainly known as the homeworld of the Chimevoudrem, a grouping of intelligent species that evolved on Mongija.
The planet is highly volcanically active due to its proximity to its star and other planets in its star system. The planet is also barren with the light from Kaoddux being absorbed by ash clouds and the planet's own atmosphere.
The Chimevoudrem were nearly wiped out after the Aignalian Empire sent its moon, Sachinus, crashing into the planet with a high-powered gravity tractor and railgun to shift its orbit on a path into the planet. Since then, the planet has become even more inhospitable than it once was.
== History ==
=== Formation ===
Mongija is one of the biggest terrestrial planets in the Andromeda Galaxy, its radius being around 8,813 kilometers. The planet was formed as a rocky, barren planet, though it could have inhabited life during its early existence, mainly at the poles where liquid water existed. Kaoddux's light also actually reached the surface of the planet, unlike today. 
Mongija formed about 3.53 billion years ago, as a result of a protoplanetary disc that had formed around Kaoddux. It was one of the biggest planets in the system during its formation, though its size was topped by the gas giants of the Kaoddux system. Once it was fully formed, it was bombarded by asteroids, though some asteroids got caught in its orbit and soon came together and formed its moon, Sachinus. This early period of asteroidal bombardment has been called the Sirdalian Age.
=== Early history ===
Main article: Varmilian Supereon
During the Varmilian Supereon (3.52 bya-3 bya), the first one-cellular life started to evolve on Mongija, and the atmosphere of Mongija started to accumulate, at first it contained nitrogen and hydrogen, and a hint of other trace gases. The geography of Mongija was still mostly barren and terrain did not have distinct features, mostly craters and a forming a large valley stretching across the equator, formed from the newly sprouting volcanic activity that forms sulfur, that combines with oxygen, creating sulfur dioxide, this sulfur dioxide then rises into the upper atmosphere, reacting with other chemicals, that then precipitates down as acid rain. This acid rain eroded the surface into a 46-meter deep valley, wind and other factors deposited the eroded material at the edges of the valley, called at the time The Medivallis, this valley would soon fill up with magnesium and iron-rich lava that would soon cool, forming basalt, much like the Maria on the Moon.
== Geography ==
The geography of Mongija is mostly igneous rock, such rocks are granite, diorite, obsidian, and others. These rocks were formed by multiple types of lava from violent volcanic eruptions, and more than 90% of all rock on Mongija is igneous. The planet is also characterized by craters and deposits filled with liquid water at the poles, where the Chimevoudrem originally evolved on Mongija.
There is also many mountain ranges around the planet, formed by colliding tectonic plates.
== Geology ==
Mongija is characterized by volcanoes formed by the violent eruptions, as the lava erupted from the volcano hardens to form new layers of the volcano, therefore "thickening" the volcano. The aforementioned process can form volcanoes of huge magnitude. These volcanoes can sometimes form lava lakes, these lakes are only visible however when the volcano erupts. The largest volcano on Mongija is known as Vehementus. The origin of this volcanic activity is from the plate tectonics of the planet and the ruptures of the planets crust.
Also, most of the power that the Chimevoudrem once utilized was from geothermal sources such as the volcanoes.

== Trivia ==
* Originally, the Monkys were supposed to be the attackers of the planet, however, this was later changed due to the fact that the planet was destroyed long before the Monkys had reached the era of space exploration.
