Farma

(*Note that I am trying to get worlds cataloged, not "recorded", this is why they are coming at a rapid pace, but both Farma and Minka will be near completion by tomorrow or the day after. This is mostly due to my new format generating walls of text I did not know would be long. You will be seeing a lot of WIP articles in the coming days.*)

#### Internals

The planet has a larger than normal iron and nickel molten core, and this core is slushy, giving it greater mobility and flexibility. This has caused the planet to have a strong magnetic field because of the higher degree of movement (rotation) in the core, and because of the core being larger than normal, it has magma plumes that extend through the now thinner mantle into the crust and onto the surface, which occasionally generates volcanoes, these volcanoes are constantly supplied and only go dormant once the tectonic plate they are in moves, thus disconnecting them from the plume. The core is made up of Nickel, Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Iron, Silicon, and other such metallic substances, the same goes for the mantle, which is also now hotter because of its closeness to the core and lack of material to disperse the heat of said core. There are also no specific deposits of materials here, and because of the heat and sometimes moltennenity, there are plenty of hot springs here, which are normally found near the volcanoes. The slushyness and size of the core has affected the plate tectonics by making them more movable, allowing them to go at a higher pace, though this would not really matter as there is no real ocean to judge how far they have moved.

#### Geography

This world’s geography is land dominated, reminiscent of Lailybai, but on a larger scale, and with less water. The scarce water resources have consolidated into three expansive seas, accompanied by two smaller seas and an array of hundreds of diminutive lakes and ponds scattered across the terrain. This scarcity of water has two explanations, first, the tectonic plates. Here, the large and flexible tectonic plates relentlessly collide, propelling the average elevation to heights similar to that of Tibet. This geological phenomenon not only contributes to the scarcity of surface water but also shapes the landscape into a network of challenging terrains. Topographical charts show the immediate ascent in elevation beyond the coastline, creating arid plateaus, which are not known to have water on them  Another factor influencing the planet's hydrography is the limited celestial bombardment during its formative years. Unlike some planetary bodies that experienced a substantial influx of comets, this world was spared from a high volume of cosmic collisions. As a result, the sea levels on average remain lower, which is helped by the higher elevations driving liquid water into relatively small depressions. In summary, the planet’s geography is an arid one, composed of large plateaus and mountains, which is the result of 100s of millions of years of tectonic plates and collisions. This higher on average elevation, combined with the lack of comets during the formative years, has made the planet have a small coverage of surface water, which is forced into the depressions in the landscape.

#### Climate

The planet’s geography, and lack of water, have made this planet’s climate more of an arid landscape, if analyzed, the biomes are mostly on the plainy, flat, drier side of things, this can be observed in the coloration from space. This climate is dry, but is not entirely lacking of humidity, the seas and lakes have supplied certain parts of the planet with more ample amounts of water, and these regions have been home to hundreds of species of plants, all which contribute to a localized humid environment, which is odd considering they are inland most of the time, so why is this? It is because these humid climate zones exist despite the water scarcity, because of them being rained on as previously mentioned, but they are also fertilized by the volcanoes, which semi-regularly erupt, not too much as to destroy the environment, but too little as to be considered dormant. There are also of course regions outside of the volcanoes that do have abundant amounts of wildlife, these are normally plains, and though they are not fertilized as often, they do get their fair share of water, and are habitable by Human standards. Overall, this planet has a mostly arid landscape, this being due to the lack of water and the higher elevation, but this arid landscape is not devoid of any sort of humidity or habitable climate zones, who have thrived despite the limited amounts of water, and have been fertilized by Volcanoes.

#### Biosphere

The biosphere here is well conquered by one type of lifeform, the plant. If you were to look from space, you could see that all of the non-arid portions of the planet that are not ocean, seem to be covered in some sort of dense green foliage. Though the reasons are unknown as to why the planet’s biomass is mostly plants, which is 93% of it, it is theorized that the reason for this is because of oddly placed climatic conditions, which has drastically favored the growth of plant life over that of “meat life”. The plants grow anywhere here where there is even a smidge of water, they have developed over time to grow in even the more arid environments and thrive in them, and some extremes developed because of this. An extreme found here is the plants that grow out in the arid parts of the planet, there an example of this is a species of bush whose habitat is located only on dry-plateaus, an environment which gets around 300mm per week.  The other extreme found here is an excess of plant size, this is found in the Farman-Goliath-Trees, a massive defiance of the gravity here, they have grown to the heights, higher than that of small mountains, and because of their design and size, they have fostered a small micro-ecosystem in them, these ecosystems are mostly made up of mosses, lichen, and some types of grasses. Despite these fantastical extremes, in reality, the vast majority of the planet is made up of regular plants, just more of it. Overall, the biosphere here is mostly made up of plants, some more extreme than others, even though the planet is supposed to be mostly arid, the plants have persisted.

#### Atmosphere

The atmospherics here not too unusual, the cloud cover observed here is very light, there are only a few weather systems observed across the planet at any one time, and normally they are close to each other, this also means that the weather conditions in general are light, so do not expect too many tornadoes, cyclones  and what not to be observed here.

### Moons

This planet has a 2 set moon system, compiled out of asteroids , some larger than others. The asteroids are split into two groups (sets) the first orbits on the plane of the planet, and is host to the 3 major moons (bigger asteroids), which orbit towards the edge of the plane. The other group is made up of 3 scattered asteroids that orbit in a cloud-like formation. The second group seems to have not formed along with the planet, they are theorized to have been captured asteroids.

### Star System

This planet is part of a small 5 planet system which orbits a yellow dwarf, this yellow dwarf has a mass of 0.98236 M⨀, and a diameter of 0.94057 D⨀ (813191.74 Miles). This yellow dwarf’s first planet is a traditional hot-jupiter, or in this case a hot superjupiter, and the last planet is a arid world with a pink atmosphere that is on the outskirts of the asteroid belt, which is large considering the size of the system. The system also has an Oort cloud, which stretches out to ~80 AU.
