Gasoun

Gasoun is the second planet from Aardan's sun. It is predominantly a jungle world with a single ocean. It is a planet that is mostly uninhabitable by immigrating species, the Qatoreg that live there are a completely different species to that on Qato but they have evolved in a similar way to the Qatoreg and were therefore classified with them.

Description
The planet is a large in comparison to the others in the system. It has a subtropical climate hence with violent storms, hence the jungle has been able to thrive.

The atmosphere of the planet is 87% carbon dioxide allowing for rapid plant growth and an inability for many species to inhabit the surface.

The single ocean is acidic from carbon dioxide saturation meaning there is no life below the surface. The ocean itself covers 12% of the planets surface.

The Kuios natives are able to breath the carbon dioxide but the Qatoreg immigrants that mine small areas for fuels and other resources require breathing apparatuses and can only stay on planet for a month at any one time.

History
Gasoun has very little history as it was left untouched for thousands of years after the Qatoreg learned of the atmosphere.

The Kuios natives built a temple deep in the jungles, but it has never been found and rumoured to have been built millennia ago by the first generation.

In more recent years Qatoreg sent teams down with appropriate equipment and found the planet to be rich in medicinal plants and fuel reserves below ground.

The Kuios were not pleased to have their sacred ground defiled with machinery but a pact was formed indicating the Qatoreg would leave after 75 years of mining some resources.

An orbital station was built above Gasoun as a means of observing and contact other systems. The station also had numerous shield generators and weapons platforms and acted as the first line of defense against invasive forces.
