Sulpha

Sulpha is the outermost, and weirdest, moon of Jevethra. It's seas and oceans are comprised of sulphuric acid, and it has a unique retrograde orbit. 
== Physical Characteristics ==
Sulpha is a rare™ Exotic moon which has it's surface features driven by sulfuric acid rather than water. As a result, it has an extremely yellow appearance, causing it to be referred to colloquially as "The Rotten Egg", to the disgruntlement of its colonial population.
Sulpha's surface is covered in sulfur-based compounds, to the extent that it has oceans of sulfuric acid. Its temperature is at a good spot to allow for a "sulfur cycle" rather than a water cycle, which is of great interest to scientists, even though it has been researched the hell out of by Terallans. As a result there are strange yellow clouds loaded with sulfuric acid, and also rain sulfuric acid. As a result, all surface craft must be prepared to block the acid rain somehow. 
The surface of Sulpha is covered in sulfur-based compounds. It has an active surface comparable to Teralla, with rivers, lakes, even oceans of sulfuric acid. The surface is a sort of brownish-yellow color, mostly silicates combined with the very abundant sulfur deposits. The surface is mostly flat, because of the extreme erosion caused by the sulfuric acid rain, but there are mountainous regions, most likely because of volcanic activity and plate tectonics. It also has rather large floodplains, caused by tides from it's parent planet, Jevethra. 
== Atmosphere ==
For a moon of this size, Sulpha has a rather thick atmosphere, being 3 times Earth's atmospheric Pressure. It has the thickest atmosphere of a habitable planet as well, assuming. It is composed of a rather rich variety of gases, though Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Sulfuric Acid are the most common. Terallan scientists used to believe that the oxygen was the result of a Non-biological process, but life and even a civilization have been discovered on it's surface. Sulpha experiences weather just like Teralla, Shirus, Tamera, Rellis, Karba, and other more temperate planets.
==Life==
Despite its unique, potentially habitable environment, Sulpha is unfortunately lifeless.
== Biomes ==
Sulph, having such a varied ecosystem, has 14 biomes, the largest number of any planet in the Verda System.
* Sulfuric Acid Lakes
* Sulfuric Acid Shallow Oceans
* Sulfuric Acid Deep Oceans
* Sulfuric Acid Rivers
* Flood Basins
* Lowlands
* Midlands
* Highlands
* Volcanic Mountains
* Shores
* Polar Terrain
== Trivia ==
* Sulpha was the last Jevethran Major Moon colonized by the Terallans, because of its rather hostile environment.
