Finisheina

Finisheina is a fictional celestial body within the Kaelen star system, notable for its unique orbital characteristics and the presence of a bioluminescent flora. Its atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and a trace gas known as 'lumina', which reacts with the planet's indigenous plant life, causing them to emit a soft, ethereal glow during the twilight hours. This phenomenon has led to the planet being nicknamed the "Whispering Orb" by early interstellar explorers.

The surface of Finisheina is characterized by vast, undulating plains covered in crystalline formations and interspersed with shallow, saline seas. The gravitational pull is approximately 0.8 Earth standard, making movement on its surface feel lighter. Two small moons, Aeris and Solara, orbit Finisheina, their cycles influencing the intensity and patterns of the bioluminescent flora.

No intelligent indigenous species have been definitively identified on Finisheina, though sporadic findings of complex fossilized organisms suggest a rich evolutionary history. The planet's ecosystem is believed to be sustained by geothermal vents located beneath the saline seas, providing warmth and nutrients for the subterranean life forms that, in turn, support the surface flora. Research stations from various galactic federations have been established on Finisheina to study its unique biology and geological properties.
