Chu-Raa

Chu-raa, the fourth planet from the Starbright A (or as the three local sapient species call it, Bogothar or Yuunn), is the most recognizable world type in this system visually despite the conditions on the planet. The planet has a diameter of 19963.5 km (12404.7 mi) and a semimajor axis of 1.2 AU, meaning its year is slightly longer at 1.3 Standard Years. It has a short 10 hour 20 minute day.

Due to its larger diameter and mass the planet has a gravitational pull of 2.2 G. It has a very low atmospheric pressure at 0.2 atmospheres. Its mean temperature is lower than Earth’s is at 10.1 °C (14 °F). It also has nine moons, two of which, the ocean world Liotho and the desert world Abog-yithar, are spherical.

The world is largely ocean, with only around five small continents and a variety of smaller islands. Due to the cooler temperatures of the planet Chu-Raa has large polar ice caps.

Most of the animal and plant life on Chu-Raa evolved deep in the large oceans, which is the reason why the water is tinted a slight green. Despite the frigid temperatures of the surface, forests and grass as well as a few hardy land animals have learned to call the few small island continents home.
