The Aourian’s Guide to Planets of Our Galaxy

Aajeboe [ay-jeb-oh]

Circumference: 26 842 km

Dominant life form(s): Aajeboans, Galyapps, Viehirs

Geography: Aajeboe is mostly covered in slightly acidic ocean. All islands are relatively small. The majority of islands are made up of jagged rock formations and mountains. Some others are partially gravel-covered, with some small forests of tall, thin trees called easindi trees.

Climate: Very calm weather is common on Aajeboe. Heavy rainstorms come about two or three times a year.

Notes: Many observatory stations are built at the tops of mountains on Aajeboe. Some cities are build on huge platforms suspended between two or more mountains, the biggest of which is Haxe, with a population of about 623 000. Law and order are highly emphasized here. Cultures are peaceful and hospitable.

Aouriis [ow-reece]

Circumference: 11 046 km

Dominant life form(s): Aourians

Geography: Aouriis consists of mostly badlands with light grey soil. Huge plateaus and hoodoos jut up into the sky all over the planet. Small lakes and rivers are present here and there. Forests with tall, green grasses and crooked Ghearr trees are abundant on top of plateaus. Patches of these forests are also known to grow on top of hoodoos, with one or two trees and clumps of grass.

Climate: Strong winds and heavy rainfalls are very common on Aouriis. On the continent of Faidaleccu, cloud cover is present most of the time.

Notes: Small towns and cities dot the planet’s plateaus and plains. There is much violence and war between the provinces of Ostic and Nûire, but on the rest of Aouriis, there is peace. Studying and teaching is an important value for the people on the continent of Qullsidar, where this guide was published.

Arhussinda [ar-hoos-in-dah]

Circumference: 15 909 km

Dominant life form(s): Kaelcavians

Geography: About 65% of Arhussinda is covered in water. The rest of the planet consists of large land masses with huge, dense jungles, small grassy meadows, and some large swamps. Large mountains are also quite abundant.

Climate: Rainstorms are common everywhere on Arhussinda. Hot, humid days are quite frequent.

Notes: The Kaelcavians are not the most intelligent creatures on Arhussinda, even though they dominate the planet. The most intelligent creatures are the Harjevits. They are bipedal, feathered, and have long, gangly arms with six clawed fingers on each hand. On their heads, they have two eyes, one nostril, and a small mouth with plant-crushing teeth. They have developed complex cultures and built villages on Arhussinda. However, they do not dominate the planet. Their numbers are dwindling because more and more of their kind have been eaten by the Kaelcavians. The Kaelcavians are huge beasts that are about as smart as Earth’s deer. They usually are about 9 m tall; walk on four big, black, insect-like legs; have two huge arms with three pincher-like fingers on each hand; and have a large, vicious-looking head with gigantic jaws built for crushing bone and ripping flesh. Of all the different species of Kaelcavians, the most dangerous and aggressive is the odavahw. The Harjevits are frighteningly outnumbered by the Kaelcavians, and their future is not at all bright.

Azqurth [az-kurth]

Circumference: 3584 km

Dominant life form(s): none

Geography: Nearly all of Azqurth’s surface is made up of extremely salty ocean. The few islands that are there are small and consist of light green rock.

Climate: Nearly all the time, there is wind blowing across the oceans and islands of Azqurth. Light rainfall happens almost every day at least once.

Notes: Azqurth is a gloomy and desolate place. The only life forms are a number of different kinds of sea creatures. The most common of these aquatic animals is the ceobis, a centipede-like worm with two crescent-shaped fins on its back.

Bertarsy [ber-tar-see]

Cenes [keen-eez]

Circumference: 36 904 km

Dominant life form(s): Oscladas

Geography: Cenes is basically a giant dark rock. It has many small, charred craters from lightning hitting the ground.

Climate: Wild wind is constantly ripping across the black, rocky plains of Cenes. Massive lightning storms are always lighting up the skies.

Notes: There is no native life on Cenes. The Oscladas came from Oscladoat to harvest energy from the lightning storms. There are now over 100 Oscladian electricity harvesting stations on Cenes. The Oscladas ship the collected energy back to their home planet to fuel vehicles and machines.

Chaunaa [kon-ah]

Circumference: 19 762 km

Dominant life form(s): Melbuiams, Qoontasents

Geography: Chaunaa is a greenish rocky planet. About 36% of the planet’s surface was covered in a very salty ocean before the Great Division, but now only 6% of Chaunaa has ocean.

Climate: Chaunaa is a fairly warm planet, with occasional windstorms. Lightning can also occur here.

Notes: Chaunaa is a planet famous for

Darkt [darct]

Circumference: 14 794 km

Dominant life form(s): none

Geography: Darkt is covered in 81% water. Thousands of tiny islands dot the waters all over the planet. There are many different geographic zones, but the most common is jungle.

Climate: Weather is varied all over Darkt. Light rainstorms are common.

Notes: There are hundreds of different types of creatures living on Darkt. These range from the leaf-eating greduo insect to the huge, feathered bonarlin. Larfreits often come to this planet to enjoy its many weird and wonderful landscapes and creatures.

Earth [erth]

Circumference: 40 075 km

Dominant life form(s): Humans

Geography: Earth has many different kinds of geography. Most of the planet is water. There are too many different geographical regions to describe, but there are deserts, forests, plains, mountains, and rocky coasts, to name a few.

Climate: The weather on Earth is different all-around, and as with the geography, there is too much to describe in detail.

Notes: At first glance, Earth seems like a fairly peaceful planet. After examining it closer, it is easy to see that there is something seriously wrong with it. Most Humans are corrupt, lazy, stupid, cruel, uncivilized, arrogant, greedy, and uncaring. They are very careless about preserving Earth, and have taken much of its natural resources, killed millions of innocent Earth creatures, and seem to basically have a load of fun killing each other, or at least ruining each other’s lives.

Ggindel Reffeshon [jin-del ref-esh-on]

Circumference: 10 288 km

Dominant life form(s): Feozurns

Geography: Ggindel Reffeshon is a dark, unpleasant land. Most of the planet is a barren plain, but there are some mountain ranges. The land is made of dark rock and black soil. The only plant life is a white weed called the sempis weed, which creeps along the ground in areas where there is soil, and can even grow on top of mud.

Climate: It is raining most of the time on Ggindel Reffeshon. As a result, much of the soil is muddy. The temperature averages 12o C on the entire planet.

Notes: Ggindel Reffeshon is an industrial planet. The Feozurns have set up factories and cint extracting stations all over the planet. Cint is a light green sparkling liquid that can be found in huge underground caverns on the planet. The Feozurns use it as a highly effective explosive that they export to other planets to be used for mining purposes or warfare.

Iytambre [ite-am-bree]

Circumference: 29 383 km

Dominant life form(s): none

Geography: Iytambre has savannahs, jungles, and prairies. The continents vary greatly in size. About 62% of the planet’s surface is covered in a slightly salty ocean.

Climate: The climate on Iytambre can be quite extreme. There are many hurricanes, tornados, lightning storms, hailstorms, and rainstorms. Most of the time, though, the skies are just dark and cloudy. This weather is mainly caused by global warming.

Notes: Iytambre is a post-failure planet. Its history is a very sad story. About 140 years ago, a race called the Sundojes built many cities and towns all over Iytambre. The Sundojes were culturally similar to the Humans of Earth. They didn’t care about their environment, and they just loved to go to war with each other. They removed almost all the natural resources from the planet, and made thousands of species become extinct. They kept living this way until their population reached carrying capacity, most of their essential resources ran out, and almost all of them died. Only an estimated 120 Sundojes survived, and all of them have left the planet to live on Azqurth.

Jupiter [joo-pit-er]

Circumference: 142 984 km

Letrumoia [let-roo-moy-ah]

Circumference: 43 225 km

Dominant life form(s): Letrumoiates

Geography:

Mars [marz]

Circumference: 6805 km

Dominant life form(s): none

Geography: Mars is a dusty red and rocky planet. There are craters in many locations.

Climate: Mars is cold and windy.

Notes: Mars is quite a desolate place with no life. The Humans have sent many machinery items to Mars to explore it and collect data.

Mulviinos [mull-vine-oss]

Circufmerence: 50 265 km

Dominant life form(s): Mulviinans

Geography: Mulviinos is not too unlike Earth. It is 56% covered in a freshwater ocean. It has all the landforms that Earth does, except for deserts and savannahs.

Notes: The Mulviinans’ prime industry is mining. They have set many facilities to retrieve natural resources on other planets. They have taken all the underground resources from their own planet, but their culture is still running well. They have hundreds of cities all over the planet. The biggest city is Kr’kespitol, which has grown so much that it has made nine other cities become part of it: Peolal, Freenda-Kared, Solsi, Tuypkisl, Creaigherar, Zuelaackaa, Vyd, Ujupareski, and Iiptuss. Mulviinos also has a few underwater colonies, such as Tiquz, Aukealidahe, and Tep’chor’shan.

Mercury [mer-kyur-ee]

Circumference: 4879 km

Geography: Mercury’s geography is almost just like that of Mars.

Neptune [nep-toon]

Circumference: 49 528 km

Nugci [noo-kee]

Circumference: 32 049

Dominant life form(s): Larfreits

Geography: Nugci is entirely covered in water. The closest thing the planet has to an island is a large undersea mountain called Varipi, which is 22 m under the surface of the water.

Climate: The weather on Nugci is very calm. It rains occasionally, and has cloud cover almost half the time, but the climate is typically tranquil.

Notes: The Larfreits are amphibious creatures. They have built floating buildings and spacecraft landing pads in some places on the water’s surface, but most of the civilization lives on the ocean floor. The Larfreits are very peaceful, and almost always take a chance to go to a nice huesdlo shop for a big cup of huesdlikiy.

Oscladoat [osk-la-dote]

Pirrametla [peer-ah-met-la]

Pluto [ploo-toe]

Circumference: 2390 km

Prepa [prep-ay]

Circumference: 16 014 km

Dominant life forms(s): Prepans

Geography: The entire planet of Prepa is a vast desert, except for the occasional oasis and mountain range. The most plentiful water source on this planet is from deep underground.

Climate: Prepa is a very hot planet. Wind is often blowing across the landscape of Prepa, but does not make the temperature very much less hot. The sky is almost always orange and purple.

Notes: The Prepans are white, gangly, lizard-like creatures. They have built numerous drilling stations across Prepa, which collect water from deep under the ground. Small cities are built around many of the drilling stations. The Prepans are very businesslike.

Robi [ro-bee]

Saturn [sat-ern]

Circumference:

Sochurus [sok-yoor-uss]

Circumference: 18 760 km

Dominant life form(s): Sochurans, Hrintabids

Geography: About 45% of Sochurus consists of a freshwater ocean. The rest of the planet is made up of huge, flat islands with large, sandy beaches on the shores and vast red-grassed plains inland.

Climate: Most of Sochurus has relatively mild weather. Summer temperatures average 17o C, and winter temperatures average -16o C.

Notes: The majority of land on Sochurus has cities and towns built on it. Sochurans are very humble creatures, and always enjoy a good laugh. The Hrintabids are known for their love of food and drink, and have opened hundreds of restaurants and pubs on the planet. The most famous Hrintabian drink is undoubtedly the Lirvud Creep-Whirred Feap, and it is utterly foolish to not try this incredible gastronomical treat if you are visiting Sochurus. Sochurus is a truly delightful planet.

Tarkira [tar-keer-ah]

Circumference: 4902 km

Dominant life form(s): none

Geography: Tarkira is a small, desolate, rocky planet. The rock is dark grey and black.

Climate: There is always a strong wind on Tarkira.

Notes: There are no life forms on Tarkira. Occasionally, the Mulviinans come to extract minerals from the planet.

Tarkira 2 [tar-keer-ah too]

Circumference: 2430 km

Dominant life form(s): Mulviinans

Geography: Tarkira 2 is a small, rocky planet with no natural life forms. All of the rock is dark greenish-grey.

Climate: There is no weather on Tarkira 2.

Notes: Tarkira 2 is hardly a planet. It started out as a barren rock in the Yurrmabix System. About 7 years ago, the Mulviinans began creating tunnels inside the planet. They transformed it into a monstrous battle starship. One end of the planet has numerous domed windows for the cockpits. The opposite end has three gigantic propulsion units. All over the planet, there are gunning stations armed with many types of ammunition. Tarkira 2 no longer lies in the Yurrmabix System, as it travels to numerous locations.

Toum [toom]

Uct’kara [yooct-kara]

Circumference: 38 614 km

Dominant life form(s): none

Geography: Uct’kara is covered with many old-growth forests and swamps. There are also some plains.

Climate: The Uct’kara climate is almost always calm. The sky is always quite dark. Rainfall and fog occasionally happen.

Notes: Even though the geography and climate of Uct’kara are not very unattractive, it is famous for being one of the most vile and hellish planets in the galaxy. This is because of its life forms. All over Uct’kara, in almost every nook and cranny, there is an assortment of vicious and vile arthropods. The most notable of these are the neurn-kraces, huge, four-legged, spider-like creatures that live in thousands in underground colonies. The neurn-kraces also carry an extremely deadly venom. Astronauts who have explored this planet say that the sight of a hundred neurn-kraces swarming out of the ground is the most bone-chilling sight that can be seen. All visitors to this planet who have stayed longer than half an hour have been killed by swarms of Uct’kara’s horrifying arthropods.

Uranus [yer-ane-uss]

Circumference: 51 118

Venus [vee-nuss]

Circumference: 12 104 km

Waupym [wop-ime]

Circumference: 103 492 km

Dominant life form(s): none

Geography: Waupym is a massive planet. The entire surface is covered by a 540-metre-deep ocean of lava.

Climate: There is no weather on Waupym.

Notes: Waupym is a truly amazing planet. When it was first discovered, it was thought to be a star. Unsurprisingly, there are no life forms. The Mulviinans once thought about looking for minerals inside the rocky core of the planet, but this was decided against.

Xhashnacc [sash-nak]

Circumference: 93 655 km

Dominant life form(s): ?none

Geography: Xhashnacc is a vast, horrendous planet. It is entirely covered in snow and ice. There are many mountain ranges, along with vast plains, some with rolling hills.

Climate: A terrific wind is always blowing on Xhashnacc, and it is almost always snowing all over the planet.

Notes: Xhashnacc is seemingly too cold for any life forms. In the pioneering days of space travel on Letrumoia, the Letrumoiates attempted to land and collect data from Xhashnacc. The entire crew of the mission was killed from the cold. Almost 97 years later, the Galyapps flew to Xhashnacc with much better equipment. Luckily, no one died. The Galyapps collected much data about the planet. A few of the crew members tell of seeing a large grey lump rising out of the snow about 900 m away. The Galyapps are planning another mission to Xhashnacc very soon.

Yelln [yeln]
