TIMELINE

This article takes place in the 26th century of Distant Worlds.

Cinesra is a Warm Arid Superterra class planet located within the Sector 2 Region, Etile system. It is named after the Luytenian dialect word for "dusty sky".

Geography

Cinesra is a barren sandy wasteland. Mountain ranges dot the regions, along with metallic ruins. These ruins appear to be the leftovers of small cities left over from a past civilization. It is thought the owners were wiped out during Edelweiss plague, or perhaps the rapid expansion of the system's home star. Whatever happened, the planet is now completely inhospitable to life. The night side is frozen, cold enough for the various sulfur compounds in the atmosphere to condense into various ponds and lakes of acid. It can even get cold enough for it to convert to sulfuric ice.

Climate

Climate is typically fair and has little variation. The tidal locking keeps the sun baking down on the planet's surface, and rising air creates a gentle cyclone covering the entire day hemisphere. Hot air rushing in from the day side mixes with the cold, high pressure air of the night side, creating dramatic thunderstorms all across the night side. Acid rain and storm surges creates a hostile environment of sulfur and lightning across the frozen hemisphere.

Ruins

Across the planet, a network of buildings forms a picture of a past civilization. SSU-Koryu Tavern named them the Cinesrians, and were on the verge of coming a type 0.8 civilization. They had outposts on other worlds within their system, but it seems a combined disaster of the Edelweiss Plague and armed conflicts between various factions and the expanse of their sun prompted them their end approximately 94 million years ago.
