Apramus

Apramus is a fictional planet located in the Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. It is known for its arid climate and vast, red deserts. The planet's atmosphere is thin and rich in nitrogen, with trace amounts of oxygen. Apramus experiences extreme temperature fluctuations between its long days and nights.

The indigenous life forms on Apramus are highly adapted to the harsh environment. These include silicon-based flora that can withstand extreme heat and radiation, and hardy, burrowing fauna that emerge during the cooler periods. The planet is also home to subterranean oceans, the existence of which was only recently confirmed.

Apramus has a low gravity, approximately 0.6 times that of Earth. This has influenced the physiology of its native creatures, often resulting in elongated limbs and lighter skeletal structures. The planet's geological makeup is characterized by extensive rock formations and deep canyons carved by ancient, now-vanished water sources.

While not heavily populated by off-world civilizations, Apramus is a site of scientific interest due to its unique ecosystem and geological history. Small research outposts have been established on the planet to study its unique biology and potential for resource extraction, though these operations are carefully managed to minimize environmental impact. The planet's primary star is a K-type main-sequence star, providing a stable, though somewhat dimmer, source of light and heat.
