Ashensand

(In Progress) Ashensand is the second planet around Borodin A, one of three stars in the Borodin system. It is held by the Alech Dominion and a mixture of a fortress world and a solar farm. Its populace mainly live in bunker cities beneath the surface, but due to terraforming projects life has emerged on the surface. Colonists mainly avoid it due to high heat.

History

Ashensand, with a greenhouse effect temperature increase of seven hundred degrees, was not an easy place to live. Even today it is swelteringly hot, and temperature is not the only reason Ashensand was such a difficult world to tame. Ashensand, as the name implies, has very fine, small, irritating sand and dust particles that are kicked up by any motion and can cause many problems in simpler technology, and sensor arrays in general. The atmosphere is 47.9% water vapor, 25.1% carbon dioxide, and 24% nitrogen. Because of the planet's thick atmosphere, it would have enough nitrogen to create an earthlike atmosphere and enough water vapor to make seas. The real issue would be oxygen. There were less than 1 ppm of oxygen in the planet's atmosphere. So how did the Dominion solve these problems?Template:InfoboxPlanetThe carbon dioxide removal was the first completed stage of terraformation.
