TIMELINE

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

The name Kryso and the idea itself originally was written by TheStellarExplorer for the Steam Workshop addon of the Planet.

The planet Jaanus, often referred to as Kryso by locals, is a frigid marine terra orbiting the brown dwarf star Aboriya. Colonized in the early 25th century by the fleet of the "Adventurous Trio AKLM-78AM", Jaanus was one of the pivotal efforts in the expansion of humanity within the Nova Stellar Neighborhood. The settlement was overseen by Ludwig Azam, a crew member of the CRS Graviton during the Distant Worlds Expedition. The planet and the fleet were named in remembrance of Ludwig’s fallen friends, Jaanus and Asim, with Jaanus ultimately becoming the planet’s official name.

Environment

The environment of Jaanus is extremely harsh, as the planet is one of the youngest known planets in the Nova Stellar Neighborhood, with an age of just about one billion years. The planet is tidally locked, meaning one side perpetually faces the brown dwarf Aboriya (the Day Side), while the other side remains in eternal darkness (the Night Side), sometimes illuminated by its ringed moon, Asim.

Day Side

The day side of Jaanus is predominantly covered with frozen rivers, lakes, and oceans, primarily consisting of water with traces of other chemical elements. The planet's soil, due to its young age, is largely composed of sand and volcanic rocks. However, certain biomes near rivers and oceans show signs of potential terraformation, making Jaanus one of the most exotic and unique planets settled by humanity.

This uniqueness led to the creation of an experimental agricultural settlement near the Silk Road River, funded by the reformed United Sol Command. The project aims to develop genetically adapted and enhanced plantations to generate a self-sustaining oxygen supply for the town of Kryso (named after the planet’s former moniker) while researching life’s adaptability to extreme conditions. The so-called "Divine Bushes of Jaanus" have become a tourist attraction, drawing hundreds of thousands—and sometimes even millions—of visitors eager to experience the surreal sight of alien vegetation under the dim, reddish glow of Aboriya.

However, this influx of tourists disrupted operations of the Large Particle Accelerator and terraformation efforts, leading the United Sol Command to propose restricted zones to minimize interference.

Night Side

The night side of Jaanus is starkly different from the day side, with temperatures plunging to as low as -150°C. These extreme conditions make it ideal for natural cooling of large processing units and data centers. The Aboriya Large Particle Collider (ALPC), located on the night side, has surpassed CERN in size and capability, becoming the largest particle accelerator in human history. The central facility is situated on the planet’s surface, while the accelerator itself is located several kilometers underground, encircling the main complex.

Despite the darkness, weather cycles occur frequently. During the planet’s summer, melted oceans on the day side evaporate and condense into snow that falls on the night side, sometimes illuminated only by the moon Asim and its magnificent, vertically oriented rings reminiscent of Uranus.

Atmosphere and Habitability

Both sides of Jaanus are entirely unbreathable, with an atmosphere primarily composed of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The planet’s water and nitrogen snow are often harvested and exported for specialized applications by subbranches of the Scientific Assembly and other corporations operating within the Nova Stellar Neighborhood. Without proper space suits and life-support gear, Jaanus’s environment is deadly.

History of Colonisation

The journey to the Aboriya system began with the volunteer mission of the Adventurous Trio AKLM-78AM, a fleet led by Ludwig Azam, who was also a crew member of the CRS Graviton during the Distant Worlds Expedition. The mission was initially considered to be of low importance, as early assumptions suggested that Aboriya,a brown dwarf system,was unremarkable. The star, classified as a T0.4 V class brown dwarf, was originally misidentified as a Herbig Ae/Be star due to its youthful characteristics. The Void Voyagers of the Adventurous Trio embarked on their mission to explore and document the system. The star system was named Aboriya by Ludwig Azam himself, in honor of its mysterious and intriguing nature. The fleet carried approximately 278 crew members and included a shuttle onboard for planetary surface exploration.
