Ceata is an M-class world slightly younger and smaller than Earth, and is the homeworld of the Dokkaran species, located in Sector 010 of the Beta Quadrant. | |||
Ceata is perhaps one of the more unique M-Class worlds of the galaxy and hosts a variety of stellar, geographical, botanical and zoological phenomena that make it a stand-out world in the Alpha Quadrant. Ceata possesses a unique atmosphere that heavily filters sunlight first through a thick magnetosphere and then through a dense, nebulous cloud layer, thus preventing the majority of photosynthesis over the majority of the planet’s surface. Instead, all lifeforms on Ceata evolved with a resistance to the colder temperatures and reduced warm that sunlight provides, and all plants on Ceata instead produce oxygen by consuming live prey, or by in taking vastly increased amounts of water and nutrients from the surrounding soil. Many of Ceata’s plants are highly evolved and some have rudimentary intelligence comparable to animals. Some even have animal like shapes and can move around freely (The Dokkarans included), while others are no more advanced than their counterparts on other planets. | |||
Besides it’s unique plant life, Ceata is home to several astonishing animals and an incredible amount of apex predators. Unlike Earth, all of these predators are omnivorous and most animals across the planet are such, with small minorities being completely herbivorous or completely carnivorous. Ceata is also home to two different species of Dragons (Both endangered) who were previously thought to be extinct until several of their nests were found in the northern mountain ranges in 2203. Since then, the smaller (And less aggressive) species has begun to roost near Luzen and Kural Hanesh. The larger of the two species are titanic behemoths that fortunately exist in small numbers, though present a serious danger to those wandering the unexplored North of Ceata. Unlike their counterparts on Maravel and Berengaria VII, these Dragons are feathered and only the larger of the species is still capable of breathing fire, though there is evidence that the smaller species was once capable of doing the same. | |||
Ceata’s surface is largely unexplored and unpopulated, and but a few expeditions have been sent outside the Acasa region, where the Dokkarans are found. They are an estimated 500 wandering Elders that travel Ceata’s surface, occasionally coming back home, though they wander seeking enlightenment and for the most part, do not report any information of value to those wishing to explore the planet. Ceata remains as much a mystery to those | |||
