Theta 122

Overview

A Class L world, Theta 122 exists in a wide orbit around the Class-G star designated Theta Trianguli. Possessed of a delicate but thriving ecosystem, Theta 122 experienced a cataclysmic stellar event some one hundred thousand years ago, an event that the planet is only now beginning to recover from. Dotted by sparse areas of greenery and standing bodies of water amidst a mountainous, craggy surface, Theta 122 experiences a climate that a typical human would find chilly, and a typical Andorian might find sweltering. Active weather patterns enliven the planet’s atmosphere with substantial but avoidable static charge, which can be tricky to maneuver within if caught.

Upon it exists a small research colony designated Atlas Base. Notably outside Starfleet-protected space, it is home to an extreme group of scientists, each of whom willingly gave up the guarantee of support in exchange for the chance to pursue their work on Theta 122. The planet has long been suspected of containing unusual qualities within its core, and the scientists hoped to explore that suspicion to the fullest.

Class L Planets

Class L planets are small, typically 1 to 1/10 the mass of Earth, and are in their sun's habitable zone. Their atmospheres are closer to breathable, and water is usually present if hard to find.

Type: Marginal
Age: 4 - 10 billion years
Diameter: 10,000 - 15,000 km
Location: Ecosphere
Surface: Rocky and barren, little surface water
Atmosphere: Oxygen / argon, high concentration of carbon dioxide
Evolution: n.a.
Life-Forms: Limited to plant life; suitable for humanoid colonization
Examples: Indri VIII

The North Pole

Theta 122's north pole played host to one of Arrow's seasonally-inspired award ceremonies. The planet has a significant, if slightly unusual magnetosphere that lights up a particularly bright aurora. The north pole itself is in a valley below sea level, and surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it cold tolerable with warm weather gear but rather inaccessible without transporters or shuttles. The pole is quite snowy and icy, and lacks any vegetation.
