# Planetary Data

## Geostats

The atmosphere, yet another blessing to the miraculous life that the planet holds, is thick and high in greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide and compounds like water vapor, producing the tropical conditions the planet enjoys and helping to further even out oscillations. It host with many other factors, however, it does make for some intense tropical storms, sometimes containing clouds of volcanic ash or glass, but the Locals had began to learn the planet and where the safest zone were, although much of that knowledge only exists now as ruin.
Due to the massive majority of the planet that is covered in ocean, much of it kilometers deep, the planet offers very little potential for anything other than small-scale habitation. With considerable effort, an area was effectively terraformed for the city of First Landing, but privately the manner was described as 'Extremely over-budget' and 'Only because it looks great for the media', and no further efforts have been made on proposals of any kind, residential or industrial.
Despite the abundance of life on the planet, Esachii does also host a significantly sparser than average concentration of leylines, making magic significantly less effective. Arcanotech struggles significantly here, and only tier 4 or higher are likely to continue functioning properly. Animals on the planet make up for it, however, by being powerful swimmers, often large in size and striking rarely, without warning. Reptile-like primarily, many are only equipped to sense vibrations and detect chemical signatures of prey in water, and not to see, leading to sometimes frightening visages. Comparable to commonly-known hunters like sharks and varieties of aquatic dinosaur, the conditions of the planet suggest a potential native evolutionary path similar to Terra, although with a few significant differences.

# Colonization Potential

## Colonization Potential

The planet was settled at a currently-unknown date by what is assumed to have been a small private effort. In an event that greatly confuses the galactic community, the only detectable remains of any colony ships lay near some of the deepest points in the ocean, completely destroyed. Some suggest that perhaps a great effort was taken to dismantle any ships into relatively tiny pieces, sailed manually, and dropped into the ocean. Due to the near-extinction of the Kishi people and the near-complete loss of their already short-lived records, and a very private, peacefully xenophobic culture, these theories have not been verified.
Esachii is very dimly-lit, thanks to a very wide orbit around its system-host star. However, due to the fact that the planet itself sits in close orbit of a brown dwarf at the edge of the system, tidal forces and somewhat thick atmosphere are able to keep the planet nearly tropic in temperature, creating an 'eerie island paradise', as galactic travel agencies would say. However, due to higher than galactic standard gravity and relatively low oxygen content in the atmosphere, the locals have become somewhat smaller, averaging 1.4 meters in height, with physically adept but slightly shorter limbs, large chest cavities with significantly larger lungs, and larger eyes far better suited for the dark.
The planet is safe for travel to, and contains one major city, post-Landing, that is open to travel, although customs is strict due to the local's aptitude for mind-altering substances, and the danger of the oceans' native animal life. The high gravity and poor quality air, however, mean that extra breathing gear is highly recommended to any non-natives. Across the planet, however, are the decaying remains of the once expansive Kishi people, built in wood and rare cities of stone, laid low in a few short decades by a single virus, born from something deep in the sea. Removal of Kishi cultural artifacts from the planet is strictly forbidden, as is non-permitted landing on any part of the planet besides the ports in First Landing. Establishment of any permanently residence is a galactic crime, no permits granted.

# Primary Inhabitants

## *The Kishi*

With the slow recovery of their population, many of the surviving members of the communities wanted to remain in contact with the galaxy. This would eventually lead to the city of First Landing, and the opening of trade ports. This is when they started the exports of many of their major crops, to help pay for repairs, and to a degree bolster their status and legal authority as a galactic state, as they didn't want their right to privacy eroded. Due to several hundreds of years without any kind of advanced medical treatment on a relatively harsh world, they have become much shorter, averaging barely 140cm tall, their lungs and eyes growing in proportion due to demands for better oxygen processing and low light levels.

# Centers of Civilization

## *First Landing*

This ship, which would eventually finish its mission and return to the stars, would be honored first by a large statue built by the Kishi survivors, and then some years later as contact improved, a modern city. In a blindside surprise move, the city was actually the idea of the normally-xenophobic locals, eventually to be funded by the same corporation that sponsored the original landing. Built to modern standards, if not size, this city of 50,000 acts as an interface between the Kishi people, keen on reclaiming their world, and the inevitable influence that galactic contact would have, namely the trade of goods; a practice that the Kishi have taken to with comfortable ease after their years of semi-nomadic lifestyles. However, the construction of the city would turn out to be extremely problematic due to the planet's leyline deficiencies, causing constant delays, and there are rumors that the planet may not be "financially profitable" enough to continue supporting, a possible move that has drawn the ire of several rights' groups.

# Major Landmarks

## Planet-Wide Ruins

The Kishi worked primarily with wood, only rarely stone, and only for important structures in more permanent cities, which typically served as the hearts of their culture and trade. Thus, when they were abandoned on-mass and left to the extremes of the weather, many were quickly lost to the elements, leaving only hints of remains. Even still, it's hard to travel far without finding an island with a lone, half-sunken dock, a ring of rough stones marking the edge of an old communal firepit, small clusters of collapsed buildings decorated with ruined goods, beached and rotten ships, or any of the other remains. Export of any cultural artifacts or local commodities over a certain rated value is illegal, unless by a legally-recognized Kishi citizen.
