Overview
Moroma is a young, geologically active world whose surface is still being shaped by intense volcanic activity. Great rivers of lava traverse vast plains of dark rock, while steam geysers and geothermal fissures release enormous amounts of energy from the planet’s interior. Most of the terrain is arid and barren, though in more stable regions, small lichens, heat-resistant mosses, and primitive vegetation are slowly colonizing soil enriched by volcanic minerals. The sparse population lives in highly protected settlements dedicated to geological research and energy exploitation. The planet’s largest facility belongs to Baraki Industries, which harnesses the immense geothermal energy of Moroma to power industrial complexes and extract valuable mineral resources from its crust.
Planetary View
From orbit, Moroma displays a surface dominated by volcanic browns, ochres, blacks, and greys. Immense incandescent cracks snake across the continents, forming glowing rivers of lava visible from space. There are only small greenish patches where life has established itself around stable geothermal zones. The planet lacks large oceans, featuring only isolated, turquoise mineral lakes and geothermal water deposits. The atmosphere is hazy due to constant steam and volcanic emissions, with irregular clouds revealing much of the surface. At night, the planet remains dark, as its sparse settlements produce negligible light pollution.
Surface View
Walking on Moroma involves traversing a landscape of basaltic rock, steaming cracks, and lava rivers that illuminate the terrain with orange reflections. The air is heavy with hot steam and the scent of minerals, while smoke columns rise from hundreds of vents. Small arid plains host primitive vegetation adapted to extreme heat, with no forests or trees present. In the distance, the massive metallic facilities of Baraki Industries stand as sentinels, with geothermal towers running continuously on subterranean heat.
Fauna and Flora
Extremophile microflora, volcanic lichens, heat-resistant mosses, and microorganisms adapted to geothermal environments; no complex fauna identified.
