Errid

## Overview

Errid, the Yannis homewolrd. is a planet located deep within a thick cloud of cosmic dust, in a solar system governed by a piercing blue star. The density of the cosmic dust meant it wasn't discovered for centuries even after the Red Mission came to that region of the galactic scene. The timing of their intervention—saving the Yannis on Errid from a natural plague—is seen by many Yannis as extremely serendipitous. Errid's star, known as Telaris, is characterized by its powerful radiation and high-energy emissions.

## Fauna

Some examples of Erridian fauna include:

1. Velith: The native jackal-like predators responsible for introducing the natural plague that nearly drove the Yannis to extinction until they were rescued by the Red Mission. These cunning creatures possess sleek bodies, heightened senses, and display exceptional intelligence, making them formidable hunters.
2. Drakaria: A large, herbivorous quadruped with thick, radiation-resistant hide, allowing it to graze on Errid's high-energy plants. Their presence helps to maintain a balance in the ecosystem by controlling plant growth.
3. Crysarax: An insect species with iridescent wings that reflect and refract the radiation from Telaris. These insects are vital pollinators for the flora on Errid and play an essential role in the planet's ecosystems.
4. Audaril: A diverse range of related fish species life inhabiting many deep lakes and rivers of Errid. These creatures have evolved to withstand the powerful radiation of Telaris, developing bioluminescent features for communication and attracting prey in the dark depths.

## Flora

Errid is home to a diverse range of flora which have adapted to the unique conditions created by Telaris' intense radiation. The planet's plant life often exhibits vibrant colors, such as bright blues and purples, as a result of the high-energy light emitted by the star. Many Erridian plants also have specialized structures that allow them to better absorb and utilize the radiation, making them incredibly hardy and resilient.

1. Kelvaria: A tree species with deep blue and purple leaves that can absorb and utilize the intense radiation from Telaris. These trees are a vital part of Errid's ecosystems, providing shelter and resources for various species.
2. Radi Bloom: A hardy flower characterized by its vivid, neon-colored petals that thrive in Errid's radiation-rich environment. These flowers attract numerous pollinators, such as the Crysarax, ensuring the continuation of plant life across the planet.
3. Laminia Fern: A fern species with specialized fronds that can store and release the radiation absorbed from Telaris. These ferns create a soft, ambient glow during Errid's night, providing a natural light source for the planet's nocturnal creatures.
4. Telaris Grass: A tough, radiation-resistant grass that covers the open plains of Errid. This grass provides sustenance for many herbivores, such as the Drakaria, and plays a crucial role in maintaining the planet's delicate ecosystems. It can grow blue or yellow, depending on the variety.
5. Starweave Vine: A resilient vine that thrives in the more arid regions of Errid, its leaves have developed a unique, crystalline structure that allows them to better absorb and store the radiation emitted by Telaris. These vines are often used by the Yannis for their impressive tensile strength and decorative qualities.

## Planets in the Solar System

1. Lumara: A relatively small gas dwarf with turbulent storms and vibrant, swirling colors. Its atmosphere consists primarily of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other elements giving it its distinctive hues.
2. Errid: The home planet of the Yannis, characterized by diverse ecosystems and a rich cultural history.
3. Jolara: An ice-covered world with a thick atmosphere, composed mostly of nitrogen and methane. Jolara experiences extreme seasonal shifts, with its ice caps expanding and contracting dramatically throughout its year. Microbial life has been found there.
4. Veris: A rocky planet with a thin atmosphere and a surface marked by craters and vast lava plains. It is believed that Veris once had flowing water, but it has since evaporated due to the intense heat from Telaris.
5. Teskia: A small rocky planet with little to no atmosphere. Teskia's surface is littered with impact craters, and its lack of geological activity suggests it is a very old and dormant world.
6. Ovri: A gas giant with many moons, some of which are believed to have subsurface oceans. Ovri's atmosphere is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with swirling bands of various colors.
