Alinos
The planet Alinos.
Location Tetra Galaxy[1]
Discovery date 2XX1[1]
Mass 2.2 trillion teratons[1]
Class: XII Planet[1]
Size 18,000,00[1]
Atmosphere Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Helium Trace Gases, Sulfuric deposits from the planet's core, and scarce Hydrogen traces.[1]
Distinct features Extensive damage to the planet's crust that runs straight down into the inner core due to core explosion.[1]

Alinos was once a very lush and thriving planet full of life. On its southern hemisphere once stood giant forests of calcified wood, as well as oceans that yielded life in various forms. Sometime in the Alinos' history it was inhabited by the race known as the Alimbics who built structures throughout the planet. Sometime during the time on Alinos, the Alimbics began construction of a mighty weapon know as the Alimbic Cannon. It's not known exactly how, but at some point after the construction of the cannon, a massive chain-event was initiated which in turn caused the very core of Alinos to detonate. The resulting explosion cracked the planet's crust as well as sent massive amounts of magma to the planet's surface. What is now left is a deadly world rimmed with fire, dust and smoke.[1]

[edit] Features

Alinos is now intertwined with cracks and fissures from its shattered crust. Each crack reveals canyons filled with lava and heat that further penetrate into the planet's core. The planet is also in a state of upheaval, as most of the tectonic plate on which the land sits on are in constant motion. This regular geological motion has exposed the planet's inner layers of rock, which display various minerals and other deep, hidden rock formations. Various ruins of the ancient Alimbic civilization have also surprisingly survived the planet's violent past.[1]

[edit] Life

Most of the planet's original inhabitants have become extinct due to the incident with the Alimbic Cannon. What life that did survive the catastrophe is extremely different from its original form. The creatures that now inhabit the new Alinos have adapted to survive the planet's new environment. Constant spewing of deadly gases from the planet's dwindling core has caused many creatures to seek refuge within the many intertwining canyons of the planet, as well as within the ancient ruins themselves.[1]
