Welcome to Planet Xeran- 242
Founded
in the year 2124, Xeran is part of a collective cluster of systems called
Inghormas . Contrary to popular belief, Xeran is not a moon. While its moon
Anghara is quite large for a moon. Xeran was much bigger than it currently is. Due
to its distance from its red dwarf sun, the climate is locked at subzero
temperatures of 167 degrees below kelvin. Mostly rock on its surface, the
planet often falls victim to passing asteroids and space debris given its large
center of gravity. Damage is clearly visible with numerous craters along the
surface. However, the mantle remains mostly unaffected by these impacts.
Originally desolate, the planet is now host to an AI that survived the largest
crater on Xeran- 242’s surface caused by a crashed space station. In this
isolated and controlled environment, the AI has created a field that surrounds
the crash site at an incubation- like temperature with oxygen and nitrogen
levels at life sustaining levels. In it’s attempts to create life, the AI has
mixed samples of human DNA with the microscopic organisms it found living
inside the mantle in order to progress to a new stage of evolution. So far, it’s
been successful creating giant blue brains with a scientists intelligence able
to hover around and communicate with one another. They gather resources that lay within the mantle like minerals and water. Give it 5 years, and Xeran- 242 will have a sustainable atmosphere, benevolent alien assistants, and the beginnings of the population for a human colony.
