Rosa Luna

## K2-116-B

K2-116 b is an exoplanet that orbits a K-type star. Its mass is 0.257 Earths, it takes 4.7 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.048 AU (Astronomical Units; unit of length) from its star. Its discovery was announced by Earth's organization, NASA in 2017. It is a terrestrial planet, meaning it is primarily silicate rock or metal. Our planet, specifically, is made of rocks. It was discovered via Transit meaning the planet dimmed the light of its star.

On the planet of K2-116-B, the government of RosaLuna reigns over a small surviving cell of humans as well as the native population of the planet. The odd rocky terrain made it hard to survive for the humans but after a few years they were able to make a self-sustaining society. Now that's not to say that they didn't need a little help in the form of the HSB (Human Survival Bureau). Over time as most new Human civilizations did, the government of Rosa and its people grew economically, agriculturally and technologically. In the year 60 AED, RosaLuna became completely financially independent from the HSB and however with the lead up to the galactic civil war they decided to sign back with the HSB which guaranteed them infinite resources. RosaLuna and their military were then responsible for the horrific events that took place after the GCW.

K2-116-B would later be renamed to "Rosa Sangre" by Externum Redemptoris, both before and after their takeover.

#### Contributions

Because we were far from any other forms of life, we were able to form our language and religion away from anything seen before. We formed an official alphabet and pronunciation for communication. We also discovered creatures from our planet that helped us learn a lot about the way living things on the planet work, in order to learn about medicine and surviving on our planet.

Care for Citizens

Rosa has always been known for caring for their community. We know that civilizations that lack trust, fail. We try to bring new opinions into our ruling of justice. Every citizen of Rosa is being taken care of. The system works in a way that uplifts everyone. This system was established during the building of Rosa.

### **Etymology**

The name Rosa is a Spanish surname, derived from the Latin word rosa, meaning rose in english. The infamous planet “Rosa” is named after the founder Emma Rosa. She founded the planet in the year 2,390 and helped settle everyone that was looking for a home. Since then our planet has been home to all these people. Our planet is just full of happiness

How our planet started

Around the time our planet was discovered a fairy named “bella” saw a beautiful pink mushroom and instantly thought, “How awesome would it be to make homes out of this beautiful pink color”. She recollected all of these mushrooms and conjoined them together to make one big mushroom home. The mushroom home contains everything a house needs. She made it sustainable enough for it to hold through huge thunderstorms and enormous earthquakes. It has everything it needs, including water, food and sustainable living. The mushroom itself is heavy enough for it to hold itself down from harsh winds. She made it so it was accessible for every person that goes to our planet. Still to this day we carry these mushroom homes. The first mushroom home is still standing and is currently all glassed up in our national museum.

### **Myth**

The Flower Picker Legend

In the earlier years of living on the planet, The planet Rosa was very hard to live on because of the harsh environment. Natives built homes out of mushrooms. Those mushrooms were easily infected since the people did not know how to take care of them properly. So the myth was born of the Flower Picker who brought disease. It was told that the flower picker would come every once in a while to judge a family's purity.  It was foretold that one day a young person would come and save the people from the flower picker. The choice of the family was either too appealing  to the flower picker or to venture to their deaths and find the cure.

Once there was a little girl who lived on the far side of the planet, Rosa. She was a smart girl and was ahead in all of her classes. Her family, however, wanted more from her, and pushed her to do every little thing that she could. The girl knew the story that every young child would begin a quest to search and capture the flower picker. The flower picker would infect the houses of the impure by making them mold from the inside out with its magical power. The girl however had her doubts about the legend. Since her logic was grounded in science she believed everything has an answer as well as a scientific cure.  The legend has it that the one who is purest of heart shall be able to find the magic harp and in doing so would be able to coax the flower picker into the harmonic arch. So when the girl came of age she decided instead of appealing to the flower picker she would venture out to find the magic harp even if it meant she would die trying. On her way she met another who sought to use the magic harp. But to her dismay they wanted to use it for the wrong thing. She now was not just racing for her life but for the lives of those who wanted freedom from the flower picker. She felt the need now more than ever to prove that the legend was not real and find a scientific cure for the disease; she was successful on her mission and found the cure. However in finding the cure, it  created an emptiness that for so long had been filled with the desire of proving the legend wrong. The emptiness ended up killing her shortly after she returned home with the cure. They planted her in a very special place where she could be visited by all of the people of Rosa. From her grave grew the first ever cotton candy tree , which is now the symbol of the planet K2116-B.

The song below depicts how the flower picker is  a grave threat,  but also tells them how to save it.

the song

They would teach kids how they protected themselves from the flower picker with this song. The song outlined everythings that one could do to try and protect oneself and family. This song at first was not meant to be seen by children since it is not vey children friendly. However this ended up using this approach. They wanted to take to really using fear to get them to be safe.

How they protected themselves.

When the flower picker was in the midst of the people they had some theories on how to protect themselves/\.

They started doing all these things to protect themselves. One of the many things were F.A.I.R.I (fast applying internet response initiative)  lights made by the Bellas to protect themselves. They thought the lights would ward off the flowerpicker with their bright rainbow colors. They also used scented candles made by the Rosa Lunas. These candles smelled really bad so that the flower picker would already think that it infected this house. After they found the cure they decided to continue to put out fairy lights and candles. The only thing that changed was that they started to scent the  candles cotton candy. This  started to become a custom for the people of Rosa.

### The governmental structure of Rosa Luna

The Constitutional Monarchy that rules over RosaLuna is split into many different parts. The government used to be 3, as there were 3 capitals made on the planet. One was a monarchy, with Queen Emma as its leader. Eventually, the three capitals united as RosaLuna, and now has the queen as a figure head. Any and all decisions are made by the 06 (6 Officers) council that dictates what the citizens do and what the crown does. The three capitals (which each have 2 Officers) are responsible for making the planet run smoothly including housing for citizens and industrial sectors that allow the populace to thrive and live comfortably. The agricultural areas give the general population better access to food and freshwater keeping them happy. Governmental sectors of the cities have many agency buildings including the IIA (ROSA’s intelligence agency) RRT (ROSA’s police force).

#### Notable examples of the government's actions and/or inaction

Are as followed; THE GREAT FAMINE of 30 AED started and killed off much of the populace of RosaLuna, during the famine people and economy suffered due to a lack of food and due to one of the main industries being based in agriculture. By the end of it half the population died and many resources were lost. During the reign of Queen Emma, THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE of 57 AED was a problem that affected the entire planet and many merchants that frequented the planet. The collapse happened due to a multitude of factors, one of which is a large amount of deforestation which in turn made a shortage of the native cotton candy trees, The other portion of this was a reduction in trade partners due to high private taxes and government regulations on shipments and shipping vessels.

### The Three Capitals

#### Lev

This capital is home to all of the communication centers and resources centers. They are in charge of making sure everyone gets the resources that they need and will be responsible for writing up the documents for the HSB. They also house the office of representatives for when the government wishes to make contact with the HSB. These people make sure to get the credit RosaLuna needs. It is also the home to the place where those who have been cast out can come and put in their credits which give them the power to request access back into the colony. Lev is the youngest capital, this is because shortly after its creation, they made diplomacy with Slaylina and Ferrum Caelum, eventually creating Rosa Luna.

#### Slaylina

Slaylina resides in-between Ferrum Caelum and Lev, along a river. Slaylina is the most populated capital being the main one, it is also the most agriculturally based. Slaylina is home to the Alhambra Palace where the royal family lives. Because of its gorgeous pink color, most of our local flora and fauna are a beautiful natural pink color. The inner-city area is mostly flat and rocky while the outskirts are mountainy and rough. A lot of the official government events are held here at the Alhambra palace making it the center for political advancement and headway. Slaylina was once a monarchy before the grand union, which is why the Royal Palace is here.

#### Ferrum Caelum

This capital is a mountainous city of information, mining, defense, and religion. This is because it was built off of the holy Vastital sanctuary in the dust-sand mountains, though it eventually became a city after Vastitals decided to stay and settle there instead of following their nomadic precedent. The city today is ruled by the government agency ExRed. As such, the citizens work day and night to defend their planet and nation, be it by organizing intelligence, managing the economy, mining in the mountains, or serving military service. Though it has transformed, that does not mean its religious roots have been lost, far from it. Here, the Vastital religion known as Sanguitur still is worshiped to this day, even by some humans. Even before the grand union, the founders of ExRed, Z-12, D-4, and the Vastital Archbishop Rastaroth, ruled this city and were icons to all citizens.

### The military (and takeover) of Rosa Luna.

The military of the planet K2-116-B was not specifically loyal to RosaLuna and instead consisted mostly of external equipment and units. The military was in complete control of all government organizations including but not limited to; The RRT, the IIA, the PHS, and the FIS. The military also went under a different name than the government of RosaLuna and instead went by ExRed. The military had many exploits such as a fleet of starships divided into corps consisting of 3 cruisers, 4 destroyers, and 2 support vessels. Along with this each cruiser  carried 260 fighters/interceptors, 80 bombers, and 350 close ground support craft. Each ship was equipped with 8-12 heavy anti shield cannons, 30-45 anti aircraft guns, and each cruiser had a different purpose ranging from bombings and heavy cannons capable of destroying a city with 1 shot. The flagship of these was the NOVAS WRATH, which was classified as a super destroyer 5 times the size of the cruisers with 10 times as much firepower. The planet itself had an iron curtain around it with a planetary defense system being made to shoot at anything not showing the Queens colors or having the ExRed Symbol. The final Weapon of ExRed is the dyson sphere put around their star. This project was completed with approval by the head of the HSB and without the QUEEN or her convent knowing. after being completed it was given the code name OBS (OPERATION BLAZING SUN)

After OBS was completed, ExRed took over the government and held all other planets hostage along with the HSB. After The Injustice war ended the Rebels were spared by the alliance council, however ExRed ignored the council's decision and killed many of the REBELS and some ALLIANCE planets. This was all to complete the primary goal which was OSS.

#### **The Entity of the 4th Dimension**

**Original Article**

NOTE:This is an ExRed document, and is told by one of their founders. As such, when I’s and we’s are used, they are referring to themselves and their organization.

In the midst of the 4th dimension, there were many anomalies. Energy originating from a single point, waves of radiation that, when turned into sound, was like a heartbeat. The mysterious feeling that you were being watched from all angles. All of this started a research project that found that the source of all this was an entity of extreme power sleeping in the 4th dimension. Thus a variety of questions arose, forming in this document.

##### What is it?

This was the primary question that most of us asked. Was it an alien? An eldritch monster? Or perhaps, even a god? We began researching it more extensively. The following features were recognized. The central “core” of the creature was a spherical object, which upon close examination seemed to be an “eye”, albeit a closed one. Not much else is known about the core, as it seemed to be “sleeping”. Then were its “limbs”, parts of the entity that seemed to be controlled by the core.

First was an arm-like limb, with many alterations, such as having an exo-skeleton that was colored crimson, and the fingers were claw-like. The second limb was something like a tentacle, which was an ivory color, despite being translucent with circular spots sparsely on the object. Finally, there was a limb in the shape of a spike, that had numerous interesting properties. For one, it seemed like the spike could fold unto itself, and protrude itself by command. Secondly, it had an ebony color, though it was more black or purple depending on the amount of light. Finally, there seemed to be “vessels” running attached to the spike, some of which were partially detached, and began secreting a purplish slime that could melt organic substances.

These are the three types of limbs surrounding the core, though the actual amount of limbs varied. Sometimes it was one of each, other times it was 18 in total. Sometimes the amount of limbs were divided evenly between the three, and sometimes one type had the majority. With all these properties, it has been theorized to be the “Sanguitur”, the deity of the Vastital.

##### The Sanguitur

There is much talk about the Sanguitur, as it is the head of the Vastital religion. The Sanguitur shares many of the physical characteristics with the entity. Such as having infinite limbs, which would explain why there are an irregular amount of limbs around the core. As well as this the Sanguitur has “eyes that see all” which would explain why when our researchers enter the 4th dimension, they feel as though they are being watched. However, we do not know about the entity’s conscious attributes because of its current “sleep”.

Although The Sanguitur is well known, there are no myths or stories about him, and as such, this is all we know about his behaviors. The Sanguitur is known to be kind but cruel, favoring his creations while despising human-like entities. However, the Sanguitur is known to have turned humans into his subjects via a test of strength, and when they have become his subjects,  he cares for them just as much as his creations. Besides this behavior to beings lesser than him, he is known for managing reality, being a servant to a higher, possibly 5th+ dimensional being, known as “the Lord” by the Vastital. It is known that his master far surpasses him in power, but that the Sanguitur respects his position as his servant, showing some form of modesty. The Sanguitur is also known to lead his creations closest to him, whether it be against humans or forms of demihuman/human-likes, or by helping their society thrive through various orders and measures. This leads to the most important known behavior of the Sanguitur, their preference for strength and power. They are known to be a force that heavily emphasizes natural selection, so much so that he stops helping his own creations if they can’t prove themselves as “the strong”.

As previously mentioned, he creates entities. For example, the Vastital have claimed they were one of his creations, but not his only. As stated by them “The glorious Sanguitur creates all monsters and animals, beings of strength. While most aren’t sentient, exceptions like us are not as rare as you should think.” Through this, we have always assumed that the Sanguitur was a being with comparisons to a “nature god”, although previous examples of such a deity have been more peaceful compared to the slightly viscous nature of the Sanguitur.

Through these similarities, and the overly-fanaticism of the Vastital, we have concluded that this entity is the Sanguitur. This of course leads to our plans with the Sanguitur, which is the basis of Operation Sanguine Sacrifice.

## **Flora**

The unique environment on K2-116-B created the cotton candy tree in the early stages of natural selection. There are trees that produce cotton and there is grass that produces sugar, because of this couldn’t there be an inbetween like a cotton candy tree. This was created by genetically modifying cotton trees. Because of their relation to sugar cane they need access to lots of shallow water.

Having readily available sugar would make it hard to create early forms of currency. The other form of currency that was common would be salt which would be in abundance if the cotton candy trees continue to spread over K2-116-B. This would cause more reliance on rain water if the population of the cotton candy trees isn’t managed well and gets out of control. There is also a lack of salt within cotton candy so they would need to supplement it with other salty foods like artichokes or celery. The sodium would have to be from getting salt from the ocean and without sodium you will have hyponatremia. Symptoms of hyponatremia include dizziness, fatigue, mental confusion, and nausea.

The cotton candy would create a candy industry filled with cotton candy products as there are many ways to flavor cotton candy. The availability of cotton candy would likely create an abundance mentality lowering the value and taste. It would work similar to the “marketing placebo effect” where foods given a higher price tag “taste” better.

In early Civilizations a common way to show power and wealth was to use dyes that are uncommon. Readily available dye from the cotton candy will cause people in the early stages of civilization to find other ways to flaunt wealth like in the modern day how people flaunt jewelry.

### **Fauna**

#### The Pink People

The pink people of K2-116-B are a species very similar to humans in height and build but are pink. The reason for this transformation is the increase of pink dye from the aforementioned cotton candy plant. Their civilization revolves around this plant; it is their main source of food, and their biggest resource.

Their pink skin allows them to blend into the foliage of the plant life on K2-116-B it also allows them to blend into the coral of the oceans. Through their camouflage they can see the natural beauty of the world without disturbing the plant-life there. The pink people will live in tandem with the ecosystem, which Humans before them failed to do. The world will shape itself instead of us shaping it.

The agriculture in Rosa is cherished and protected. They have over 10,000 acres of land that goes to farming. The planet wasn't so sustainable at first they had to figure out and masted the right way to grow crops on Rosa. The soil is made out of what Rosa is made dug from the ground and made into the soil, mixed with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Together they make up the trio known as NPK. Other important nutrients are calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.

### **Process**

The whole farm is indoor and simulates the perfect temperature for each crop. Each crop has a different section. The amount of light for each section depends on the crop. All sections have a daily mist, sometimes even twice depending on how the crops look. If they look a little dry they will get an extra mist. Watering happens every day Depending on how much water the plant needs. Once the crops are fully grown volunteers for the community help harvest. From there they are sent to our 10 markets.

### **Crops**

With having the struggle of Rosa only being able to grow potatoes, is the reason why our farm is indoor. Now they grow, Carrots, artichokes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cucumber, lettuce, kale, chard, asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, broccoli, zucchini, sweet potato, celery, green onions, and so many more. They also have lots of trees such as apples, Allspice, apricots, avocado, banana, cashews, cherries, date, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mango, Peaches, Persimmons, pistachios, pecans, Walnuts, and again many more but too many to list. When they came to rosa they made sure to bring all the seeds that they wanted.

### **Care**

They got many of our sources from the earth. Every day all crops are looked at making they are nice and healthy. Other than the crops they have a wide variety of plants. The tree that is around every part of the planet is called the cotton candy tree. This plant helps the planet by releasing oxygen and by growing. They have lovely grassy fields that they worked hard to find out how it would be possible to have green grass. Small plant stores are a very big thing in rosa.

Agriculture Is one of the main tools that they use to keep their civilization alive. They are the top civilization for crop trading, which is rare and only happens when crops have overgrown. But they are working on opening a new 20,000-acre farm to grow more crops and help other civilisations. The growth of their agriculture has come so far since the beginning. Citizens of Rosa cherish and care for their agriculture. And it shows it's a beautiful place filled with nice people and agriculture.
