Polus (planet)

**Polus** is a fictional planet that serves as the main setting of the map of the same name.

## Overview

Polusは宇宙空間に存在する大きな紫色の惑星です。表面には凸凹した岩がたくさんある地形である。また、この惑星の地下には超高温のコアがあり、これによってこの惑星の気温はものすごく高くなっている。. 他にも、 クルーメイト の介入や自然災害によって、ほぼ惑星の半分がむき出しになっており、それによって惑星が三日月型になり、内側にマントルが広がっているのがわかる。惑星の表面にはan 天文台や、 O2、そして標本室がhas been established on one the planet's many cliffsides. At the center of the base, a drill has mined past the planet's crust, exposing a large lava pit underneath. Several different facets of research appear to be taking place within the base simultaneously.

It can be inferred that the Polus base, much like The Skeld, is an extension of the Mira organization, as there are tasks that reference "Headquarters" (MIRA HQ), and Crewmates land on the planet in what is most likely a Mira drop-ship. Furthermore, at the start of the Polus trailer on the InnerSloth YouTube channel, there is a line of text at the bottom right of the screen saying "A MIRA corporation film". This shows that the film was made by Mira, further implying that they own the Polus base.

## Weather and Terrain

Polus' terrain is rocky, having many bits of rock scattered about and many sporadic mountainous rocky formations (found at the end of the Polus trailer). It's possible that the event that caused the planet's odd crescent shape to manifest could also be the cause for this terrain. From what can be seen in the image, Polus has an icy polar cap that spans a good portion of the planet's northern hemisphere. In the image, it can also be seen there are many crevasses or rivers of sort that seem to dip down into the mantle of the planet. These could be a reason for the giant pit of lava that is seen at the Polus base, however, this could also be a man-made hole.

Polus' weather is very cold, with the research base being constantly snowy. This implies that despite Polus having a giant crater, it still retains an atmosphere. The constant snow also implies that Polus has a system similar in nature to the water cycle, which has a stage of precipitation at some point. This likely occurs due to the preexisting snow on Polus' northern pole, which could be melting in some areas due to the exposure of the planet's molten center.

## Trivia

* Due to the existence of Seismic Stabilizers on the Polus base, one can speculate that the planet experiences frequent or extreme earthquakes.
* The frequent usage of drills within the Polus base could be the reason for the holes scattered around the map.
* The Polus planet is similar to, and may have been inspired by, the *Star Wars* planet Lola Sayu, which also has purple terrain, snow and lava.
* ファイル:Polus Petrovich Bio.png  Polusという名前は*Henry Stickmin*シリーズに登場するWallのガードであるPolus Petrovichから取られた事になっている。彼のBioカードにおいても彼が名付け親である事が語られている。
* While it hasn't yet been confirmed what exactly the drills on the Polus base are being used for, there's a decent chance that they're being used to dig up the specimens found in the Specimen Room on the Polus base. Why the Polus researches want these specimens is unknown.
