Earen is the second planet located in the Lekna System, which can be found within the Vernarcan Federation near the border of the Falacian Dominion, in the Ervo Sector's Vernarca Nebula. Home to the oceanbound species of the Eanai, Earen is a world of great historical importance despite its small level of political power.

Due to its unfortunate physical structure preventing hydrothermal vents from coming into being on the ocean floor, Earen spent the majority of its history completely sterile, until around a billion years ago when life was seeded on the planet by the Ancient Builders of Nalaren. Earen, while the first such case discovered, is one of many worlds where this has occurred. In the modern day, it has a bustling population with impressive floating cities within the sunlight zone all the way down to crush depth, and it stands as the capital of United Earen, a member state of the Vernarcan Federation.

From a physical standpoint, Earen is among the very largest worlds with complex life native to it, at over six terrestrial masses. This means that the vast majority of species are extremely uncomfortable under its crushing gravity, and almost its entire surface population is composed of the Eanai. While it will never be the most important world in the seed cluster in which it lives, Earen's successful secession from the Falacian Dominion which conquered it in the hundreds of years prior kickstarted an entire new era in Vernarcan astropolitics with the Dominion's departure from the Yazera Pact and the beginning of its collapse into chaos and sectionalism.

Population

Due to Earen's crushing gravity and complete lack of natural landforms, the vast majority of the planet's population consists of the native Eanai species. The few members of other species who live here must undergo gene therapy to prevent any possible nitrogen narcosis effects due to the enormous partial pressure of nitrogen present on the planet. During the Falacian Dominion's Occupation of Earen, many Falaci underwent such gene therapy to allow themselves to live on the planet, and even they took part in the expulsion of the Dominion from the planet in 78 AC.

Today, ~89% of Earen's 700 billion people consist of the Eanai, with an extra 5% made up of Falaci. The remainder is a miniscule fraction each of almost every water-based species within the Vernarca Nebula, and even the Lrenn and Tarasze have a non-negligible population in cities floating on the waves or in the clouds due to their origins on a super-earth.

Government

The world of Earen and the rest of the Lekna System are governed under the flag of United Earen. As the name suggests, this government is primarily centered upon Earen itself, however it does include several other locations including the Prakka System and the white dwarf Egar. Much of the native Eanai remained on their homeworld, but a decent fraction of the populace elected to leave for metaphorical greener pastures elsewhere in the Vernarca Nebula, including the ocean world of Aglarond in the nearby Sumna System.

United Earen, despite is importance to the Eanai people, is but one of over 150 member states within the Vernarcan Federation of varying sizes. Despite this, the common economy and government of the Federation takes good care of the planet, with various standards helping to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Due to its location near the Falacian border, Earen and the entire Lekna System enjoys great protection by the Vernarcan Federation Space Force.
