Varavias

Varavias is a fictional celestial body featured in the science fiction novel "Starlight Echoes" by Elara Vance. It is described as a rogue planet, meaning it does not orbit a star and drifts through interstellar space. The planet's surface is characterized by extreme temperatures, a result of its isolation from any stellar heat source.

The novel depicts Varavias as a desolate world, largely covered in frozen methane and nitrogen oceans. Its atmosphere is thin and composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Despite its harsh conditions, Varavias is rumored to harbor remnants of an ancient, extinct civilization, hinted at by unusual geological formations and faint energy signatures detected by deep-space probes.

The discovery of Varavias is a significant plot point in "Starlight Echoes," as it becomes a target for exploration by a desperate human colony ship seeking resources and a new home. The journey to Varavias is fraught with peril, and the challenges of surviving on its frigid surface test the ingenuity and resilience of the ship's inhabitants. The planet's secrets, and whether they offer salvation or further danger, form a central mystery of the narrative. The specific details of its formation and the nature of the rumored ancient civilization remain largely speculative within the context of the story.
