Ramjetteja

Ramjetteja is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "Echoes of the Void" by author Anya Sharma. The planet is depicted as a tidally locked world, meaning one side perpetually faces its star, Solara, while the other remains in eternal darkness. This extreme condition has shaped the unique ecosystems and civilizations found on Ramjetteja.

The illuminated side, known as the Sunscorch, is a vast, arid desert characterized by intense heat and radiation. Life here is scarce and adapted to survive in harsh conditions, often dwelling in subterranean oases or possessing extreme heat resistance. The perpetual sunlight has led to the development of advanced solar energy technologies by the planet's inhabitants, the Lumina.

Conversely, the shadowed side, called the Gloomfrost, is a frozen wasteland covered in glaciers and ice. Temperatures are frigid, and visibility is limited. Despite the harshness, life has found a way to persist, with bioluminescent flora and fauna illuminating the perpetual night. The inhabitants of the Gloomfrost are known as the Umbra, who have adapted to the cold and darkness, developing unique methods of hunting and survival.

A thin, habitable twilight zone, the Meridian Belt, exists between the Sunscorch and the Gloomfrost. This region experiences perpetual dawn or dusk, with moderate temperatures and a more diverse range of life. The Meridian Belt is often a point of contention and trade between the Lumina and the Umbra, as it offers resources and a more temperate environment for both civilizations. The Lumina and Umbra have a complex history of conflict and uneasy alliances, shaped by the extreme conditions of their respective homelands.
