Earen

Earen is the second planet located in the Lekna System, which can be found within the Vernarcan Federation near the border of the Falacian Dominion, in the Ervo Sector's Vernarca Nebula. Home to the oceanbound species of the Eanai, Earen is a world of great historical importance despite its small level of political power.

Due to its unfortunate physical structure preventing hydrothermal vents from coming into being on the ocean floor, Earen spent the majority of its history completely sterile, until around a billion years ago when life was seeded on the planet by the Ancient Builders of Nalaren. Earen, while the first such case discovered, is one of many worlds where this has occurred. In the modern day, it has a bustling population with impressive floating cities within the sunlight zone all the way down to crush depth, and it stands as the capital of United Earen, a member state of the Vernarcan Federation.

From a physical standpoint, Earen is among the very largest worlds with complex life native to it, at over six terrestrial masses. This means that the vast majority of species are extremely uncomfortable under its crushing gravity, and almost its entire surface population is composed of the Eanai. While it will never be the most important world in the seed cluster in which it lives, Earen's successful secession from the Falacian Dominion which conquered it in the hundreds of years prior kickstarted an entire new era in Vernarcan astropolitics with the Dominion's departure from the Yazera Pact and the beginning of its collapse into chaos and sectionalism.
