Vivustos

Vivustos is a fictional planet located in the outer rim of the Xylos galaxy. It is primarily a terrestrial world with a thin atmosphere, characterized by vast, arid plains and a single, massive ocean that covers approximately 70% of its surface. The planet orbits a G-type star, providing moderate levels of solar radiation.

The dominant life forms on Vivustos are hardy, silicon-based organisms. These creatures have evolved to survive in extreme conditions, with many exhibiting bioluminescent properties to navigate the perpetual twilight zones of the planet's deep oceans and subterranean caverns. Plant life is sparse, mostly consisting of lichen-like growths that cling to rocky outcrops and absorb atmospheric moisture.

Vivustos possesses a relatively low gravity, approximately 0.7 standard Earth G. Its geological composition is rich in rare earth minerals, making it a target for off-world resource extraction operations. However, the harsh environment and the presence of indigenous, albeit primitive, life forms have made sustained colonization efforts difficult.

Little is known about any sentient civilizations that may have existed or currently inhabit Vivustos. Archaeological evidence suggests the possibility of ancient ruins, but these remain unconfirmed. The planet is currently under the nominal jurisdiction of the Galactic Federation, but its remote location means oversight is minimal.
