Ysi (RS RS 8410-0-7-1440734-112 A4) is located in the [[Zaofor|Zaonur]] system in the Large Magellanic Cloud and orbits it as the fourth planet. It is the only planet in the system where life developed. It's semimajor axis from Zaonur is 0.449 AU. With an age of approximately 7.4 billion years, the system is much older than the [[Sol System]]. It has a total of three moons, all of them are captured asteroids. |

It has a diameter of 13224 km, making it slightly bigger than [[Earth]]. The average temperature is 18.5°C. However, the planetary temperature can go up to 30°C in summer and down to 7°C in winter due to it's axial tilt. A day on the planet is 3.907 earth days long, a year is 128.434 earth days long. |

The atmosphere of Ysi consists of 24.4% of oxygen, 75.2% of nitrogen, 0.29% of carbon dioxide and 0.11% of argon. The planet is very cloudy, however, only a few storms occur frequently. |

There are vast cities covering much of the planet's surface, mostly established atop the deserts that still dominate some swathes of the planet. The only regions mostly untouched on Ysi are the forests. The forests of Ysi hold special meaning to the Ysau. The Ysau evolved in these alien forests, among the giant trees that were freezing to the touch so as to obtain water from the air, alongside the other animals scavenging for water and food, and in spite of the apex predators that would hunt the smaller species to suck the liquid from their bodies. |
|||
These forests are truly sprawling. Several, on an area bout 1/10th of the planet's surface, stretch greater than a million square kilometers, and two forests surpass two million. The alien trees have jet black protrusions to catch and cool water in the atmosphere to convert into usable liquid. Some Ysau choose to live in much smaller cities deep in the forests, even if only temporarily, to get in touch with their ancestry and home. |

The cities that cover the planet are no less massive. There are pockets of desert, and desert rings many cities, but the percentage of the surface that is manufactured is significantly higher than the percentage that remains natural.

The culture of Ysi is naturally influenced by that of the Ysau, but aspects of the Confederacy have bled into that culture over time. For example, Ysau is still a language taught in schools, but it's an optional class, with most Ysau speaking Common. Nevertheless, the simultaneously utilitarian, mystical, and idealistic Ysau culture is still very visible here, with the isolated and more stylized forest cities contrasting the larger sprawls, and the abundance of universities, art schools, and philosophical or technological thinktanks. |

Ysi has minimal corporate influence. The government is truly in control here. That government is the UFSS, who seized direct control of much of the Ouranir Galaxy in the First Magellanic war.

Ysi is near the UFSS frontiers, but the local government has done well in keeping the area prosperous independently, the threat of a Ysau revolt a distant memory now. |

Ysander began as a palace for ancient Ysau king Ysander. Initially it was meant to exert power and force against a rival kingdom in another forest, but throughout the construction process a larger and larger city began building up around the palace. The king ordered wells drilled to support the workers, and found a vast underground aquifer of fresh water. After that point, the palace became a boom town. Ysander would go on, in part thanks to the power he gained from having such a central and prosperous city, to be the first Ysau monarch to conquer another forest. Over the Ysau's long history, Ysander's descendants would become the first rulers to unite all the forests under one government, and even more distant descendants ruled the nation when it came into conflict with the Confederacy millenia later. |

Nowadays, The Palace of Ysander has grown to become the largest city on Ysi's surface, taking up almost 30% of it's land area on it's own. It houses 40% of the planet's populace, and is a cultural, economic, and scientific center for much of the Ouranir Galaxy.

Ysi formed over 5.4 billion years ago. A hot ball of rock close to it's star, it eventually cooled down enough to keep anything on it's surface from burning immediately, and much of the planet's mass was made up by (now evaporated) water ice.

Ysi is the homeworld of the Ysau, a reptilian early type-III civilization. They are ruled by a central government from a small city near the equatorial region. Once every ten of their years, they elect their new leaders within a week. The religion is strictly separated from the state. Although some religious parties exist, they never get elected. Other lifeforms, such as lion-like creatures called Uvu, live in the large natural areas on the planet, such as the famous Suchit mountain range. |

It is a fairly prosperous world today, harboring 43 quintillion souls orbiting the world. It has become a mini ecumenopolis of sorts, a center of trade and power in the local region. It's current prosperity hides uglier scars from violent days long since past.
The world is the homeworld of the Ysau, and the former capital of the Interstellar Systems of Ysau. From 22,006 to 23,404 the Ysau were engaged in a war with the Confederacy of Borealis that ultimately destroyed the Interstellar Systems and caused trillions of casualties. This First Ouranir War devastated the species and the planet, taking centuries to recover and longer to regain trust both in and from the wider Confederacy.
Geography
Ysi has no surface water- the planet is too hot for water to stay in a liquid state naturally. The planet is one continuous landmass, and that landmass is largely dominated by three biomes, two of which are natural. There are vast cities covering much of the planet's surface, mostly established atop the deserts that still dominate some swathes of the planet.

The Ysau evolved in these alien forests, among the giant trees that were freezing to the touch so as to obtain water from the air, alongside the other animals scavenging for water and food, and in spite of the apex predators that would hunt the smaller species to suck the liquid from their bodies.
These forests are truly sprawling. Several, on an area bout 1/10th of the planet's surface, stretch greater than a million square kilometers, and two forests surpass two million. The alien trees have jet black protrusions to catch and cool water in the atmosphere to convert into usable liquid. Some Ysau choose to live in much smaller cities deep in the forests, even if only temporarily, to get in touch with their ancestry and home.
Architecture
The cities that cover the planet are no less massive. There are pockets of desert, and desert rings many cities, but the percentage of the surface that is manufactured is significantly higher than the percentage that remains natural. These cities mostly take after traditional Ysi architecture, Utilitarian and ingenious. Most buildings are built for function over form, but the Ysi make the most of every inch and incorporate features into buildings that can be used for two, three, four, or more applications. A Ysi room can change entirely based on the situation it's needed for, and indeed many Ysi live in single rooms with all the accommodations of a full sized home.

The UFSS is fair to its citizens, and most people under the UFSS live fairly good lives. Ysi is near the UFSS frontiers, but the local government has done well in keeping the area prosperous independently, the threat of a Ysau revolt a distant memory now.
Capital City: Ysander
Ysander began as a palace for ancient Ysau king Ysander.
