Chaoterra

Chaoterra (often labelled by scientists as *Planet X-3BZ*) is a terraformed exoplanet larger than earth that orbits a G-type star called Prion. The planet has only 1 natural satellite and makes a complete circuit around Prion for around 347 Earth days. Astrologists first discovered it a few decades after this year, and terraformed it as they think that it is a suitable reserve for creatures that are endangered or threatened. Like earth, Chaoterra has two icecaps and carbon dioxide. Though unlike earth it has a greater level of oxygen, allowing some organisms to grow far larger than their ancestors.

## History

### The Beginning

Around 550 million years ago, Chaoterra was nothing than a small grey planet no bigger than earth, its surface was rocky, and it was uninhabitable, however, a large planet named *Aepheus* was heading towards the planet, until then, both planets collided. Creating a brand new world, oceans started to arise, and the first continents emerged, but who will inherit this blue planet?. The answer lies in 2048, where astrologists first discovered the planet in an expedition on exploring outer space. After hearing about it, scientists quickly began to terraform it, creating the world we know. This terraforming occured in the *Proterocene*, the planet's first era.

### 10 million years hence

The atmosphere of Chaoterra drastically changed from the past 10 million years ago, with the oxygen levels peaking out at around 40 percent compared to the earth's 21 percent. This happened thanks to the massive tectonic change that happened after the Proterocene, causing multiple continents to appear, and with the appearance of new continents, forests grew abundantly, leading to an increase in oxygen levels in the atmosphere. One of the earliest continents of Chaoterra, *Alor,* also grew rapidly in size due to the tectonic change of the planet after 10 million years and because of the lack of volcanic activity in the planet.

### 35 million years hence

In the course of 25 million years, reptiles, particularly snakes, became more and more successful and later dominated the oceans of Chaoterra. Due to their diversity, there was no other marine animal (except for cetaceans and seals) that could compete with these dominant animals. In the continents of Chaoterra, mammals were the top creatures there, birds also live in the land. Within 25 million years, life had been allowed to establish itself firmly to its new ecology; while initially being a tropical planet, Chaoterra then gave rise to grasslands and now several continents on the planet have grasslands. Multiple animals have now been adapted towards open environments, primates are the first ones to adapt. Beginning thirty five million years of time, Chaoterra entered the **Primucene Era**. Characterized by the gradual shift from tropical to temperate, it will bring one of Chaoterra's first ice ages to the atmosphere, and gradually make the icecaps larger by time. However Chaoterra will not be fully a polar world, as the winter will still give way to spring, and spring to summer.

### ???

Somehow in the middle of the Primucene era the galactic british empire founded chaoterra and colonized it. They also put some Animals from XD54 . What will happen next? Will the XD54 animals adapt , improvise, overcome? Who knows, only time will figure out.

## Rules

1. Do not make inaccurate creatures.
