Dragukek

== Planetary Characteristics ==
Dragukek is a planet formed in the star cluster RC 8496-190, which exists about 46,000 light years away from Earth. It is in an area of active star formation, with huge giants and supergiants surrounding it. Dragukek's parent star is a white dwarf; it is the corpse of a once large blue star that fused heavier elements in its core like iron. It shed its outer layers of gas as it died, which led to the expelling of massive amounts of iron. It created many ferrias, one being Dragukek. It is tidally locked. Despite this, life is possible on the day side due to the relatively steady stream of energy coming from its host; and oceans of liquid water have helped complex carbon-based life thrive on it.
=== Night Side ===
The thick and powerful atmosphere of Dragukek has allowed the temperature to be stable on both sides. But the day side has the light of its parent star to absorb energy from, so life has evolved to thrive there. There's nothing living on the night side.
== Life ==
Unlike red dwarf stars, white dwarfs have a stable energy output with no sudden bursts of increased brightness or solar flares - of course, since there is no nuclear fusion going on in their cores. But they do shower their planets in large amounts of UV rays. To combat this, plants on Dragukek have developed a silver pigment to deflect that harmful radiation - and only absorb the energy they need. 
The silvery Dragukaline plants are eaten up by animals, which have six legs rather than four like here on Earth. The denser composition of this planet makes the gravity much stronger, so the animals need more limbs to support themselves on land. But with this stronger support, the complex life has still grown much - it has reached a rich variety of organisms, some of which have grown to huge sizes.
