Planet:Hendorum

Hendorum is a rouge planet drifting aimlessly through space with no neighbors. Its surface is an icy wasteland littered with craters. Under thick layers of ice and rock, there is deep ocean of water and methane. The hot core, most likely containing large amounts of radioactive material heats the water. Extremely hot water enters into the sea through vents and crevices. Occasionally, hot water spews out the surface into the vast, empty space. No life can be found on its surface, unlike its deep ocean. Various species of fish, arthropods, and other organisms live beneath Hendorum's surface. Hendorum's only intelligent inhabitants are the Sthonga. A carnivorous specious, they live small tribes, normally near volcanic vents. Because of their natural strength, they build shelters from rock formations. Without conventional wood, most Sthongas make tools from bones.
