Atlas (Local Universe)
More actions
Template:Ambrosia: WorldAtlas is a habitable ringed Superterra orbiting a G-class star on the outskirts of the Aylothn Galaxy. It is a sister planet to Australis Prime. It has two moons, Calypso and Hesperides. It was terraformed in 67 887 and settled the same year.
Geography
Atlas is a land world. It has many lake/seas, but on the whole it is a land world. Many craters dominated this world before it was Terraformed, forming the seas we see today. Some notable locations include:
Crater Sea
The Crater Sea was a large flat plain dotted with large craters. It was the most heavily cratered area on the entire planet. When the seas were filled, this area became the Crater Sea, a sea full of islands made from the eroded lips of the long-gone craters.
Micacheous Sea
This is the largest sea on the planet. Approximately 2 billion years ago, Atlas collided with another dwarf planet. This formed Micacheous Sea. The debris ejected into orbit formed Calypso and Hesperides. While they were forming, the leftover debris went into making the First Ring of Atlas, which was the most short-lived. It was collected by Calypso and Hesperides within a few short millennia.
Novice Crater
Novice Crater is a medium-sized crater situated on the equator. It is not filled with water, but has numerous rivers flowing through it. It is the site of the city called Novice.
Old Mother V'Ilangu's Sea
Old Mother V'llagnu's Sea was a crater named after one of the discoverers of Atlas, Auriiea V'llangu. She discovered the planet and named a few surface features, such as Novice Crater and the then Micacheous Crater. When she died, a large sea was named after her. Her three children requested that it be called "Mother V'llangu," but as time went a "Old" was added to the front.
Buean Listed's Sea
Buean Listed's Sea was a semi-large crater near the south pole, named after on of the other discoverers of the planet, and first governor of it. Buean Listed was a Human from the planet Aegyn, who longed for adventure. Over the course of his exploration career, he logged of a hundred thousand planets, in over ten galaxies. with thousands of stars to his name. Many planets, and star systems are named after him. Buean Listed's Sea was a shallow concave simple crater formed approximately 500 million years ago when a large asteroid hit the planet. When Terraforming flooded the Crater, it became a popular Zythn Resort with high temperatures (for Zythns) and lots of water and plants.
