Thirun

Overview
Thirun is an ocean planet, and the second planet from Cloave.

Physical Characteristics
Thirun is an ocean planet, with no land peaking above the ocean surface. However, there are hills of sand and rock that almost touch the surface.

Colonization
Many races, including humans, have tried to colonize Thirun and make underwater cities. However, the temperature of the water, the toxic chemicals in the water and violent currents make it almost impossible.

Life
Thirun, despite its harsh conditions, supports a variety of sea life. One of the most-wanted species on Thirun is the Izkin. The Izkin is a large, docile fish that lives in the shallow regions of Thirun. The reason the Izkin is wanted so badly is because its meat, whether cooked, fried, or etc., tastes great to many races. Another wanted species is the Huulmid, a seafloor-treading monstrosity. Despite its aggressiveness and hardiness, it is hunted for its hide.

Thirun also supports a great diversity in plant life. Some examples of the plant life that thrive on Thirun are:


 * Iquin, a bright pink plant that has leaves shaped like arrowheads
 * Brenzek, an orange coral that emits a precious liquid called Aerikkin
 * Aeltoll, a brown plant that has leaves shaped like triangles

All of the plants listed above are valuable to different races in different ways.
