Zorren System

Zanumi is an acidic ocean world with depths reaching up to 200 kilometers in the deepest trenches. The surface of the oceans is actually composed of very pure water and the atmosphere is mostly oxygen and nitrogen. For oceans deeper than about a kilometer, the water quickly get more acidic until it reaches concentrations of around 35% hydrochloric acid at 10 kilometers depth. The deepest parts of the oceans are said to be composed entirely of liquid hydrogen chloride.

There are very few areas of land, comprising less than 5% of the total surface area. This land consists of floating islands formed by volcanic processes. Due to the acidic nature of the oceans, the land deeper than a kilometer in the water gets eaten away over the course of several thousand years until nothing is left. Then the land above breaks free and becomes a floating island for several thousand years until it breaks apart and sinks in the ocean, mostly due to weather or collisions with other floating islands.

Because so much land is dissolved by the oceans, there is quite a massive amount of raw materials floating freely in the ocean. The Detesta have massive floating platforms that sucks up water from the depths before materials are extracted and refined. The refined materials are sent into space while the very acidic leftovers are injected back into the depths of the ocean. Materials extracted include platinum, iridium, gold, and other rare metals.

As stated earlier, this system used to have the beginnings of a dyson swarm, until it was destroyed by extra-solar invaders called the Latini. These invaders had shot a singularity bomb towards the star Zorren almost immediately after exiting the Black Gate that brought them here. The bomb was going to collapse Zorren into a White Dwarf similar to what happened to the Jiorkie System. Instead, the bomb hit a large space habitat somewhere between the first and third planets in this system.

The resulting explosion caused all nearby habitats to also explode, sending trillions of chunks of metal and other debris across the system at relativistic speeds. This debris quickly crashed into other habitats, which also exploded, sending even more debris across the system. this continued until the entire Dyson Swarm was destroyed, killing Twelve Quintillion Detesta in the span of a few hours. This remains one of the greatest losses of life in the Galaxy in recent memory.

The Detesta on this world are mainly found near the equator, living in recently constructed coastal cities built around orbital elevators. A large amount of their established infrastructure goes into controlling the weather on their world to prevent their new cities from being overrun with radiation.

With the help of their Aureana allies, the Detesta are slowly terraforming their world back to what it used to be, removing the top layer of toxic ground and replacing it with soil and rocks from other worlds in the Zorren System. The Aureana also built massive purifying towers across much of the world to clean radiation out of the air and ground water.

The Aureana also established a genetics program to scrape the planet of any DNA in the hopes of reviving extinct species. Planet Navia should be fully habitable again in another 1500 years. Detesta born today will be alive to see their world free of the scars of the past.

A massive Gas Giant with brightly glowing green and yellow rings. Almost a dozen large moons orbit this world, including several that are larger than planet Navia. Each world has its own unique environments, which the Detesta use to gather additional resources and train their mech pilots. Similar to Navia, some moons orbiting illistara have large orbital rings constructed around them and are armed with more firepower than most star systems.

Like many gas giants in the galaxy, Cetalari can be found here. When the Latini invaded the system, the Cetalari sent bioships to meet them. The Latini were able to defeat the bioships but when they attempted to approach Illistara, they were shot down at any distance within the planet's ring system. Attempts to fire a singularity bomb into the world ended in failure when the bombs mysteriously vanished before reaching the planet's atmosphere. Escaping Detesa ships were allowed in, and were protected by the Cetalari for nearly twenty years until they took their system back. There are still many thousands of Detesta cities orbiting in the very highest layers of the planet's atmosphere, hundreds of kilometers above the cloud tops.

The bright, psychedelic colors of this world are because of the high noble gas content in the atmosphere. Charged particles run through the planet's upper atmosphere, creating a dazzling display of lights in nearly every color imaginable. Different layers of the atmosphere glow in different colors, both by elevation and latitude. There is no large-scale industrial use for rainbow worlds like these, but many Detesta live in cities orbiting this world due to the pleasing colors.

This Ice Giant is pretty typical in the Galaxy, sharing much in common with other ice giants like the Solar System's Neptune. This world was bought by the Vusinor shortly after they liberated this system and freed the Detesta. The world was quickly added to their Switchboard Network and the Detesta were granted access to a large percentage of their network and instant communication technology. This is one of the only Vusinor worlds in a non-Vusinor system that is left unguarded. The Detesta trust no one and insist that their military be used for all matters of security.
