## History

* ~10 billion years ago. Arctail formed 10.052 million years ago.
* ~9.6 billion years ago. The planet cooled down and the first oceans appeared.
* ~9.1 billion years ago. The emergence of unicellular life
* ~6.9 billion years ago. Multicellular life emerged
* ~6 billion years ago. Complex organisms ventured onto land
* ~6000-765 million years ago. During this era, Arctile was a superhabitable planet. The climate was tropical and life flourished. The continents were covered with forests and jungles.
* ~765 million years ago. The existence of civilization. There were many outposts, antennas and radars on the planet. There is no evidence of major cities or mining. This world probably served as a huge specialized colony for storing and transmitting important information between planets and other colonies
* ~753 million years ago. Invasion of unknown invaders. The outposts were probably destroyed from orbit. In the end, unknown adversaries changed the planet's climate, causing a nuclear winter for many hundreds of millions of years.
* ~753-78 million years ago. Global nuclear winter. Life was able to adapt to very low temperatures, but unfortunately many species became extinct due to sudden climate changes. Arctail has turned from a tropical superhabitable planet into an arctic desert.
* ~78 million years ago. Slow climate warming is still ongoing. The main change is warmer temperatures and the appearance of forests along the coasts.
* Today - At the moment, Arctail is still experiencing low temperatures and snow covering most of the continents. However, the climate is improving, and the planet already has a diverse biosphere. It's likely that Arctail will once again become a superhabitable planet in the future.

## Biosphere

Arctail has a diverse biosphere. Animals can be of completely different sizes. They usually live near the coasts. Many animals have developed pack behavior, especially herbivores. Many of them travel long distances in search of food. Small rodents are common and look like guinea pigs, only even more furry and fluffier. Flying species are not rare and form giant flocks. Terrestrial flora is found near the coasts and is green in color. On the coasts there are usually fields, but sometimes you can find entire forests. The trees are usually not very tall, but can reach high sizes under favorable conditions. The continents are usually barren, but sometimes rare lichens and mosses can be found there. Marine life is also diverse. The fish reach different sizes and colors. Marine flora most often consists of very long white algae. It's also worth mentioning that there are a lot of fossils on the planet.

## Arrival

We arrived on this planet in the hope of unraveling the secrets of the lost civilization on Surafira. About 765 million years ago, their colony was located here, and the planet itself was super-habitable at that time. During expeditions and archaeological excavations, the remains of numerous outposts, radars and antennas of an alien civilization were found. However, no traces of cities or mining were found. This planet was probably intended to store and transmit important information between other colonies.

## Unfortunate fate

The demise of the Arctail colony unfolded approximately 753 million years ago, mirroring the fate of Surafira. Evidently, a series of devastating attacks orchestrated by unknown adversaries from orbital positions resulted in the destruction of numerous outposts. During the onslaught, antennas and radars failed abruptly, indicating a swift and efficient extermination process or extremely powerful electromagnetic pulse. The culminating decision by the assailants involved a deliberate alteration of Arctail's climate, transforming the once tropical, super-habitable planet into a frigid arctic wasteland. In stark contrast to Surafira, no massive monuments were erected by the unidentified aggressors.

## New planets?

Unearthing intriguing insights, our exploration revealed that prior to the colony's destruction, Arctail had been receiving multiple signals from disparate regions of the galaxy. It is plausible that, during the invasion, each besieged colony transmitted distress signals to fellow planetary settlements, including Arctail, in a plea for assistance. This discovery opens avenues for future exploration, as the signals originate from a multitude of star systems and planets, promising a wealth of mysteries to unravel. But, unfortunately, we will not be able to recognize most of the places where the signals were coming from due to simply a lack of data. Nevertheless, scientists are full of enthusiasm and are confident that we will definitely find at least several colonies. And we didn't have to wait long. Four(or five) different places were found where the signals were supposedly coming from. They were given coding and systematic names. Once we visit the planets, each will be given its own name.
