Planet:Osion

Osion is a major planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, located in the heart of the Jovar Empire approximately 35 parsecs away from Jora. It is a major contributor to science and technology to the empire, and is also a major political canter. It is notable for its abundance of purple and white spice, the latter of which was previously only thought to exist on gas giants.

History
Osion formed 2.86 billion years ago around the Haalea binary star system. Both are large, bright blue giant stars. Osion formed closest to the two stars, at a distance of only 55 million miles. Thus, the planet was a lava planet for the vast majority of its history, pounded by cosmic radiation and large meteoroids and asteroids daily. Its entire surface was a scorching 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Its atmosphere was toxic, filled with methane and carbon monoxide, and the atmospheric pressure was intense, far worse than even Venus's.

The planet seemed so dead, and yet the Jovar were keenly interested in it becuase of its vast array of resources. It contained hordes of purple spice on its surface, but even more fascinating was what was underneath the planet: a vast system of caverns full of white spice. It also had massive supplies of other elements that were vital for producing starships and electronics. It seemed to be the motherload of all planets.

But a question that arose quickly was how the Jovar would gain access to all of these resources. It was far too hostile and dangerous to build a small outpost to mine the resources. The miners would simply be crushed as soon as leaving the bubble colony.

So, in a controversial (at the time) decision, the empire granted private corporations and government contractors alike permission to begin terraformation of the planet. It would be an extremely expensive project, but it would be one that would pay off in the near future.

Jovar Terraformation
Around 89 NEY, the Jovar officially began terraforming the planet, starting our by decreasing the density and temperature of the planet, as well as ridding the atmosphere of toxic elements and replacing them with oxygen and nitrogen. When temperatures were suitalbe, plant life from Jora and Haelsier was put on the planet to help further regulate the atmosphere of the planet. Animals soon arrived as well, to further balance out the atmosphere. The now empty lava basins were filled with water. The planet seemed perfect.

However, there was still a major problem: the two stars both pounded the planet with cosmic radiation, at the same time trying to strip the planet's newly formed atmosphere. So, to combat this, several corporations created large atmospheric generators all over the planet, which generated a constant supply of air for the planet's atmosphere. This air was also extremely cool, and it allowed to planet's average temperature to drop from 1000 degrees to only about 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

The total project lasted about ten years, and cost nearly one trillion Sporebucks, but it would soon begin to pay back these expenses quickly.

Geography
Osion is only slightly smaller than Earth and Jora, although it is more massive, and thus has a larger surface gravity than both planets. Its surface is dominated by mostly mountains and plains, where plant and animal life flourish.
