Template:!World InfoboxAiah is a rogue planet far beyond the clustered stars of Cosmoria, surrounded distantly by the far-spread stars of the halo. Its cold surface plays host to a bizarre, solitary life form spread across the planet, keeping a detached watch on the universe for all of time. Lit by nothing, the ancient world has drifted alone since the beginning, and will continue for the rest of time.
Anomaly
When Aiah was discovered by Saiheran surveyors ahead of the War of Saiheran Succession, they discovered odd concentrations of rare earth metals and other strategic resources. Being practical, Sarepha sent a mining team to the distant world. This mining team, upon landing on the deposits, was abruptly sucked below the surface and crushed by an unknown force, leading to civilian traffic being warded away from the planet.
The metal deposits were revealed through careful research and careful not-quite-landing on the surface to be part of a living thing, although the complete lack of large-scale illumination made it difficult to tell exactly what kind. Close analysis of the surface showed this entity to be a single enormous cell with a nucleus a full six kilometers wide, making it by far the largest case of simple life in Cosmoria. No one really knows how this thing formed, but research is ongoing.
History
Aiah is almost as old as the universe itself, forming from an anomalous clumping of heavy metals before even the formation of the first stars. At the time of its formation, the background temperature of the universe was warm enough for water to survive on the surface of the planet, but this froze over before life could begin to evolve. However, life rapidly evolved beneath the frozen surface of the water, beginning as simple bacteria and rapidly evolving among Aiah's hydrothermal vents.
Billions of years later, the planet was found by an explorer from Sarepha shortly before the outbreak of the War of Saiheran Succession. However, before it had time to be logged in the database, the war begun, with Princess Zelera, one of the rival monarchs, setting up a base on this remote planet to avoid heavy damage. They began researching the life which had spread over all the nooks and crannies of the planet with their spare time. After Zelera's death and the end of the war, Aiah became a neutral territory, for scientists from all member nations of the UNF to study. As of today, Aiah is not particularly important on the galactic stage, but its surface has been the source of many great breakthroughs in scientific history.
