Lonia

Lonia is a planet in the Draco Constellation within Milky Way Galaxy in the Nexus universe. It is the home planet of the Lonian race, a race of powerful and mighty Draconic creatures.

## Characteristics

Lonia is a giant planet in the Draco Constellation of Milky Way Galaxy. Lonia is the fourth planet from its star, and its solar system is located near a black hole, resulting in a large amount of radiation. Lonia is about 20 times larger than the Earth and its orbit is 11 times wider than the Earth's, boasting a total diameter of 5.7 million kilometers and a total volume of 42 billion km3. It has a surface gravity of 3.4 g and an atmosphere similar to Earth's. Lonia has 4 moons orbiting it, and they are about 3-10 times larger than Earth's moon, with the biggest moon being 3 times larger than Earth's moon. The gravities on these moons are similar to Earth's, and the biggest moon is a rocky moon while the other three moons are icy.

Lonia's climate is very volatile with massive storms that cover 1/4 of its landmasses, and the storms often result in a large amount of lightning. Its ocean's salt content is 3 times higher than the Earth's. Due to the radiation caused by the black hole, Lonia's electromagnetic field is extremely active, and it emits a high level of radiation, resulting in its atmosphere to be ionized. Oxygen level is higher than on Earth, with the concentration of oxygen being 20% more than Earth's.

Due to the intense weather and high level of radiation, life on Lonia is much different than the ones found on Earth. Most creatures that lived there are either very small, or they are giant, or they have some means to adapt to the harsh environment.

There are 5 continents on Lonia, named Archos, Testudia, Squama, Ropterygi, and Ryncho. Testudia and Squama are located near the equator, while Archos, Ropterygi, and Ryncho are in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Archos is located on the northern hemisphere, and it is the largest continent on Lonia, with a landmass about 3 times the size of North America. It is the most mountainous and the coldest continent, and it is a land of ice, snow, and volcanoes. The continent is also filled with a lot of dangerous and wild animals, ranging from reptiloids, to insectoid, and even mammalian predators. Archos has a total landmass of 5.7 million km3.

Testudia is a large continent located on the equator. Testudia has a landmass slightly smaller than Eurasia. Unlike Archos, the continent of Testudia is warm, with its average temperature is around 55 Celsius. It has a wide variety of wildlife, ranging from reptiloids and arthropods, and even a few small amphibious species. It has a total landmass of 3.4 million km3.

Ropterygi is an archipelagic continent, and it consists of a total of 63 islands, with its largest island, Nothos, has a landmass 3 times the size of Greenland. Ropterygi is the smallest continent in terms of landmass, having a total landmass of only 1.2 million km3. The continent's islands are a haven for small and medium sized reptiloid and insectoid species.

Squama is a large continent that is located near the equator, and its landmass is about the same size as Antarctica. The continent is very dry and its climate is extremely hot and humid, with deserts covering more than 3/4 of its landmass. Animals on this continent are mostly burrowing reptiloids and arthropods, and due to the extreme heat, Squama's animal population is much lower than the other continents. The continent has a landmass of 4.8 million km3.

Ryncho is the last continent on Lonia, and it is located in the southern hemisphere, and it has a total landmass slightly larger than Australia. Ryncho is a continent filled with tropical and subtropical environments. Like Testudia, it is warm, but its temperature is warmer and its climate is wetter than Testudia's. It is filled with jungles and swamps, and it has a high number of rivers and water bodies. Ryncho has a population of various species ranging from reptiloids, and insectoid, and even mammalian predators. It has a landmass of 4.3 million km3.

## Flora and Fauna

Lonia's animal life is very different than Earth's, due to the large amount of radiation that is affecting the planet's biosphere. Most creatures that live there are either very small, or are giants. Lonians are the dominant sapient species of the planet, occupying the top of the food chain, and they are a race of Draconic warriors.
