More actions
Cors Tairane, the capital planet and city of the Tairane Federation, and the homeworld of the ancient Tairane Empire during its height, is located in Ioleria Prime, Inner Pales Arm, Florathel.
The planet of Cors Tairane is a terrestrial world with a diameter of approximately 13,950 kilometers, and a mass of 6.29 x 1025 kilograms. The surface of the planet is 85% covered in water, with the remaining fifteen percent consisting of landmass that contains two main supercontinents; Arathel, and Maeradina. The planet has a single natural satellite, the terraformed moon of Decura. The atmosphere of Cors Tairane is very hospitable to most forms of life, and the climate varies depending on what region of the world one may be in.
Environment
The climate on Cors Tairane is divided into two main types; temperate and tropical. The temperate climate regions are located within the northern hemisphere, primarily in Arathel, as well as some areas of Maeradina. Here, average temperatures range from 15 degrees Celsius (59°F) to 29 degrees Celsius (84°F). Temperate climates on Cors Tairane usually experience all four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. However there are variations where a certain place may only have three out of the four seasons present depending on its location in relation to the planet's axial tilt. The tropical climate regions are located primarily in southern Maeradina, with average temperatures ranging from 22 degrees Celsius (71°F) up to 32°C (89°F). Tropical weather conditions feature high humidity for the most part due to their proximity to large bodies of water such as oceans or seas. Tropical climates also tend not experience any sort of seasonal variation throughout the year; rather they maintain a steady temperature while changing very little day-to-day or month-to-month. There also exists subtropical regions which can be found along coastlines where there is a moderate amount rainfall throughout most of the year, yet still experiences warmer weather conditions when compared to other parts of Cors Tairane that have a temperate climate.
Geography
The geography on Cors Tairane varies greatly in appearance due to its wide range of climates and environments; some parts of the world contain lush rainforests, while others feature desserts or grasslands that stretch for hundreds of miles in every direction. There are also several major mountain ranges located throughout all three continents, most notably being the Zenith Range, situated in northern Arathel, and home to Mount Heston; named after Gareth Heston, the first president of the Tairane Republic, and the tallest mountain peak within Arathel, which reaches an altitude of 9,843 meters (32,335 feet). Other notable mountain ranges include the Pendragon Range, located in southern Arathel, Vulceste Mountains, located just east of the Zenith Range, and finally, the Jorune Alps, located along the southeastern coast of Maeradina.
The two main continents are: Arathel, the largest continent of Cors Tairane, located on the planet's western hemisphere; home to many mountain ranges and forests, along with various rivers and lakes. Maeradina is located in the eastern hemisphere of Cors Tairane; it is larger than Arathel, and the home continent and origin of the ancient Selkirk Empire. The capital city of Cors Tairane itself is situated right on the northwestern peninsula of Testudo, located in Arathel, just east of Zenith Range. The greater eperopolitan area is home to over two hundred billion citizens, and serves as the headquarters for all Tairane Federation military, political and economic affairs.
Cors Tairane is also home to various lakes, rivers and oceans. The three primary oceans are the Aretes Ocean, located in the planet's northeastern hemisphere; covering most of Arathel; The Austrinus Ocean, located in West Maeradina; and finally the Cimmerian Ocean, which is between Arathel and Maeradina.
Notable lakes include Lake Kaysorin, situated on top of Mount Heston within Zenith Range, as well as Lake Umbrae situated south of Testudo on Arathel. Notable rivers would be the Callisto River which runs through central Arathel before emptying into the western coast of Cors Tairane at a location known as Gulf Kadar. Other notable rivers include: The Euphrates River that runs through eastern Arathel towards Gulf Kadar from where it originates in central Testudo. There is also another major river system that flows throughout all three continents called the Canopus River System. Several tributaries make up this large body waterway with one of its main sources being fed by an aquifier found near Mount Heston within Zenith Range before flowing across all three continents where it eventually reaches several different locations ranging from gulfs to oceans depending on its location along its path.
