Haelendis

*(I wanted to create a sort of "SE17" feel/vibe when I was reading on the Amaranth (now legacy) wiki. If you don't know what I mean, I am talking about that image style found in Space Engine before 0.990. For example the bloom setting was turned all the way up, and the worlds featured were more unrealistic, which was not featured in this article as much as found in those articles. This article was also (partly) inspired by the this article.)*

### Infolore

This is a small terrestrial world situated on the outskirts of a compact elliptical galaxy, itself positioned near the periphery of our local universe. Beyond this world, the universe continues to expand, revealing a multitude of galaxies, stars, clusters, and even a few distant worlds. However, the level of knowledge about these far-flung celestial objects is considerably less detailed when compared to what we know within our galactic boundary. The galaxy that encompasses this world resides on the very fringes of this cosmic expanse. One of the most striking features of this planet is its magnificent ring system. The rings, with three distinct sections labeled as A, B, and C, each possessing their own subdivisions, display a unique yellowish to tannish hue. These rings are composed of fundamental materials like copper, nickel, silicon, among others, and from the planet's surface, they create a breathtaking spectacle. The planet itself is enveloped by a bluish atmosphere, primarily consisting of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen – the very gases upon which the local civilization depends for respiration. Interestingly, this atmosphere is relatively tranquil, with storms being a rare occurrence, occurring at a rate roughly 60% less than that experienced on Earth.

This serene atmosphere blankets a world that boasts three primary biomes: arid plains, jungles, and tropical plains, all of which possess a somewhat topical character. Even the arid plains, although named so, experience fewer droughts than a typical arid environment due to the influence of monsoons. These monsoons attract a plethora of tropical wildlife, even though they may be less frequent, as the weather conditions here are calm on average. The monsoons, for instance, can be significantly more intense than Earth's, at times forming temporary lakes, and one of the largest lakes on this world was formed by a monsoon, replenishing its water supply. The unique tropical conditions and the influence of monsoons have shaped the civilization on this world to be highly amphibious in nature. Their cities extend from the towering tropical forests to the profound depths of the chilly oceans, rendering the use of city lights an unreliable method for mapping their cities due to their tendency to bypass coastlines. Turning to the native civilization, it is characterized by a deep spirituality, bordering on religiosity.

Their cities frequently feature massive spires, some towering beyond 1.5 miles in height. These spires serve as central gathering points for the communities they are part of and often bear some emblematic significance. The civilization is categorized as a type 0.9, more advanced than us and is on the edge of taking full control of their planet’s resources, it is unknown if they have contacted any other nearby civilizations, and they seem to be a unitary species with one dominant species and no other intelligent others. In conclusion, this planet, situated on the cosmic edge, is home to a deeply spiritual and amphibious civilization that has successfully colonized both land and sea. The environment is highly humid and tropical, reminiscent of the lush ecosystems found in the Amazon and Sub-Saharan Africa.

### Moons

This planet has 6 moons, these 6 moons are small asteroid moons that orbit in two groups, the first 3 orbit on the plane of the planet, with the last 3 orbiting in a cloud formation around the planet. There seems to be small mining operations on the first 3 moons around the planet, with the rest being uninhabited.

### Star system

The star system is a solitary star system that orbits around an orange dwarf, and there are 11 celestial bodies that orbit around the star, 2 dwarf planets, and 9 planets. The star system has 2 gas giants and 2 ice giants, with the planet orbiting between the two gas giants and these two grains protect the planet from any major asteroid impacts, in fact the planet has only had 2 major extinction events that were due to an asteroid or comet because of this.
