Iris

Iris is a small, settled planet located on the galactic rim, notable for its vibrant and colourful atmosphere. While not a major hub of interstellar activity, it offers a unique charm that attracts visitors seeking respite from the more bustling core worlds.

Atmospheric Composition

The planet's distinctive atmospheric hues result from a unique mix of gases, reflecting light at various wavelengths. This phenomenon creates a visually striking display, with streaks of violet, orange, and emerald green shifting with the time of day and weather conditions.

Flora and Fauna

Despite its size, Iris boasts a surprising level of biodiversity. Dense forests and open plains cover the surface, supporting flora adapted to the planet's unique light conditions. The climate is temperate, with mild winters and warm summers, fostering a comfortable and compatible environment for life.

The People of Iris

The inhabitants are peaceful and communal, residing in small villages and engaging in agriculture and trade. They maintain a deep connection with the natural world, valuing harmony and cooperation. While part of the World Unity, they exhibit a greater interest in local exploration than interstellar travel. Iris is also home to a small but active expat Navarean community.

Cultural Peculiarities

A notable aspect of Irisian culture is their fascination with local discovery. They prioritise mapping caves and identifying new species over technological advancements or space exploration; a preference for familiarity and close-to-home pursuits.

Iris is a unique destination with its colourful atmosphere, diverse wildlife, and tranquil inhabitants. It offers a refreshing alternative to the core worlds, providing a serene environment for those seeking a break from galactic activity.
