Arihuvi

Arihuvi is a fictional planet within the Andromeda Galaxy, notable for its unique geological and atmospheric composition. Discovered by the exploratory vessel *Odyssey* in the late 25th century, Arihuvi orbits a binary star system, resulting in a complex and often unpredictable diurnal cycle. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline plains interspersed with shallow, mineral-rich oceans. These oceans are a vibrant cyan color due to the high concentration of dissolved silicates.

The atmosphere of Arihuvi is dense, primarily composed of nitrogen and argon, with trace amounts of methane and oxygen. This atmospheric density contributes to a significant greenhouse effect, maintaining a generally temperate climate despite the fluctuating stellar radiation from its binary suns. However, extreme temperature variations can occur during periods of stellar alignment.

Life on Arihuvi is believed to be exclusively microbial, adapted to the extreme conditions and unique chemical environment. Initial scans have detected complex organic molecules within the oceanic sediments, fueling ongoing speculation about the potential for more advanced life forms or historical evidence of such. The planet is currently designated as a protected biosphere, with all off-world interference strictly regulated to preserve its pristine state. Further research is planned to understand the long-term viability of this unique ecosystem.
