General Info
Frigus is a cool E-Class world with multicellular life on land and in the oceans. It is the 4th planet in the Vamana Template:InfoboxPlanetsystem, an orange dwarf.
Geography
The planet is covered by thick ice sheets at the poles, which grow during the long winters and recede during the short summers. There are a few landmasses in the middle, covered by mountains, tundras, and forests of massive redwood trees. The water oceans cover most of the land, and are extremely cold; cold enough to instantly give you hypothermia if you were to fall into them. Some icy rivers also flow through the continents.
Life
The life on Frigus is mostly plants, with few animals. The plants consist of mostly massive redwood trees, with some ferns, mosses, and bushes. The animal life consists of a species similar to wolves, along with their prey; a deer-like species. There are also smaller, mouse like creatures that roam the forest floors of the redwoods.
Weather/Atmosphere
The atmosphere of Frigus is almost entirely carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of oxygen and a extremely small amount of sulfur dioxide. The climate on Frigus is cold; that is literally what it's name means in Ancient Latin, ranging from -15 degrees in the long winters and 2 degrees in the short summers. The strange seasons are due to it's orbit, which is slightly elliptical giving it longer, colder winters and shorter, mild summers. The weather is pretty fair, but storms are common near the equator were the temperatures can reach up to 10 degrees, causing a mixture of low pressure air from the equator to mix with the low pressure air of the temperate and polar zones, causing storms near the equator. The storms are a strange type of hurricane; cold hurricanes. Instead of heavy flooding, rain and wind, the cold hurricanes create strong blizzards, ice storms, and freezing temperatures. Rain is rare, but it can happen near the equator if a cold hurricane is not near it. Snow is very common in the temperate and polar zones.
