Planet Acosta
Posted Image

Class M, Biozone

Planet Facts:
Terrestial, Temperature ranges between 20 and 50 degrees celcius. From space, Acosta is set in several different shades of brilliant green, with several ranging sizes of blue patches and brown lengths of rocky mountains. The ring that encircles the planet is small compared to many other planets, maybe a few thousand miles from the surface at least, and is made from Acosta's lost moon of Winokur. The weather is humid and warm, the wind constant but not over twenty miles per hour, and rain happens only once per Acosta year (250 Earth days), and happens suddenly, hours off the same time every year and enveloping the whole planet in a blanket of dark cloud. The monsoon usually lasts a week or two at the most, and when it ends the clouds simply disperse. Save for this yearly rainfall, there are rarely clouds over Acosta, no more than a small wisp that lasts less than an hour.
For a tourist visiting this planet, anywhere on the massive super continent of Violilla would be a good destination. Life is in abundance; nearly a thousand species flourish and thrive in the thick, rich grasslands, forests and mountain ranges on the surface. Perhaps the Red Sea of Minitti, or the colossal Grey Mountain of Strabo, which is so high that it's peak is a mile or two above the atmosphere. Maybe even the dense forest of Yalta, if you dare to enter the dark, dank territory of the Wodan.

Number of Moons:
Acosta has one remaining moon, Wanach, whose sister, Winokur, was turned to rubble by a comet.

Name of Moons:
Wanach

Planet’s Indigenous Race(s):
The Jotwani

Race Description:
A hot-blooded mammal that thrive in the lush grasslands of Acosta, the Jotwani are nature-loving, joint with Mother Nature and the Life around them. The females are more prodominant than the males, who are scarce, usually leaders while the females are hunters, workers and gatherers. An Omniverous race based around the natural balance, they build cities without harming any to no wildlife. The four prodominant ones are large, ranging from ten miles across to twenty miles.
They are social, living in families from childhood to death. Usually living for around one hundred to one hundred and thirty years. They are humanoid, blue-skinned and with long, pointed ears. The females tend to have lean, fit bodies, and can sprint for a mile without pausing. Their main pray is Aaltje, a bipedal hoofed animal that lives in huge packs in abundance on the huge super continent.
The Jotwani are peaceful and non-violent, prefering to kill their prey with quick, painless methods and conducting burials and rituals afterwards to please Mother Nature. Not all live in the four cities around Acosta; villages and smaller towns are scattered around the super continent.

Race History:
The Jotwani became predominant around five centuries ago, and have flourished since. Large groups came together; their intelligence grew quickly, and they built villages, towns and eventually huge sprawling cities, which were eco-friendly, built from the nature and not damaging any of it. What they used to build they re-established; forests replanted, animals put into huge enclosures to breed madly until they could be set free.
They never built vehicles or any fast means of transport, since communications were already excellent between the cities. But space travel was established three hundred years ago, and since then they have build technology from the earth that took them away from their planet. Starting small, they soon had left the Solar System, and trade sprang up from the nearby planets and systems. Industry was brought up as an idea, but there wasn't an easy way to do so without harming nature. Instead, the Jotwani's crafted, sculpted, selling artwork and furniture that, while not essential, was a beautiful thing to have and a luxury at such an expensive price.
Only recently did they develop high quality fold-capable ships, and so far have produced two that have made trade much easier and faster.

Government:
The oldest and wisest males (and rarely females) make up the top body of Government members, usually three or four Jotwani. They make decisions which has to go through the Court before it can be put into action.

Government Leaders, Positions:
At the moment, the head of the main body is an old male, from the period where names didn't hold a meaning. Below him are two males of the same era, his right and left hand man. The court holds thirty members, the wisest and oldest males in the Society. The Government is based in Nyx, which is situated on the smaller continent that floats in the middle of the sea.

Religion(s):
Based around Mother Nature and the living creatures on Acosta.

Religion Description:
The Jotwani live around nature, and take it into their own minds that it is their duty to keep it as Mother Nature made it. They do not do anything that harms the environment, and replace anything they take from it. Burials for kills and rituals for any deaths are frequent and every Jotwani knows them word for word.

Religious Leaders, Positions:
No leaders, it is more of a passive religion. Every Jotwani knows it, and follows the codes.

Trades and Industries:
Crafting sculptures and luxurious furniture, also paintings and other such artwork. Trade is basic, only a few planets in nearby Solar Systems.

Technological Class:
Developing – Open to the Galactic community, Few Fold-Capable Ships
Heroic Genesis
