Zuuxina (Planet)

1. General Description

Zuuxina is a small solid tropical planet located in a star system in a star cluster near the center of its home galaxy. Its home galaxy, Isozokvinro (NGC-1376) is a spiral galaxy similar to M101 in colour and shape. The planet itself is very small, having a diameter of only 6,865 mi, a bit smaller than Venus, and a gravitational force of 19.2 m/s^2 (1.957 g). The composition of Zuuxina’s core is similar to that of Earth’s, containing a mantle, core, and crust.

Zuuxina has an atmosphere is primarily composed of Nitrogen, Oxygen, CO2, CO, Nitric Acid, and NO2. The history behind how Zuuxina, along with its solar system (Isoinzala, NGC-1376-67092, or 1-α Zok) was formed is unknown. Zuuxina’s surface varies a lot depending on location.

Grasslands and swamps down south, hills, forests, valleys, and lakes in the middle, and vast mountain ranges up north. Because of the many different types of terrain, Zuuxina harbours many forms of life. The wildlife on Zuuxina is unusual, including the way life came about on the planet. Zuuxina’s ecosystem is dominated entirely by insects, insectoids, arachnids, and never-before-seen lifeforms, all within the arthropoda family.

The most common (and most intelligent) species on the planet is no other than ferro formica, or the Common Zuuxinan (Xouzenzok). Although dominating the planet and deciding to do whatever they please with it, Zuuxinans prefer to not mess with the planet’s ecosystem, and like to keep the planet clean, even though they ended up slowing down the planet’s rotation by a few minutes by building giant structures.

An average day on Zuuxina takes 21.9 hours, and an average year takes 529 days. The climate on Zuuxina is very tropical and hot keeping an average of 110 degrees fahrenheit. Zuuxina’s seasons don’t vary drastically like Earth’s, the temperature only drops by a little during winter. Zuuxinans have adapted to this very hot and humid temperature, but this leads to the inability to function at all in the cold. For them, temperatures under 30 degrees fahrenheit can be extremely fatal, this makes it almost impossible to thrive to colder planets such as Luciforium. Bacterial and viral diseases have been eradicated by Zuuxinans, which, over time, changed the course of Zuuxina’s ecosystem. Though, not by a lot, the food chain changed.

Zuuxina does not have any large oceans, only small ones. The oceans are mostly composed of glucose mixed with water, this glucose water is very healthy and is one of the reasons life is able to flourish on Zuuxina. The abundance of glucose allows plants and animals to function exceedingly well, providing them with enough energy to hunt and travel.

There are approximately 157 cities on Zuuxina, Ion 1 through 49, and Vizouion 1 through 108. The Ion category of cities is composed of larger cities, and the Vizouion category is smaller ones. Ion 1, being the largest, has a surface area of 8.71 million mi2, **making it larger than South America,** and almost as large as North America. This city is what slowed down Zuuxina’s rotational period. Ion 1 has a population of over 250 million Zuuxinans.

Zuuxina itself is illuminated by cities too, Zuuxina has the greatest light pollution out of any other civilized planet. At night, the domes surrounding the cities give off light, but only outside the dome, because Zuuxinans can be sensitive to bright lights.
