More about Astrion
The planet Astrion, named so by its discoverer, Dr. Integra Wick-Astrion, is a planet teeming with terra and volcanic activity (from the flaming pit in the planet) in a small solar system with ten other planets.
Astrion is roughly about 15.5 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 5.85 times that of Earth. Due to the radiation it emits and the stronger gravity, this causes any life taller than the native species Jolleraptors, to shrink to their size.
A single day on Astrion lasts 31.29 hours and a year lasts 389 days. The planet is made up of 6 continents currently as one had recently split from the main continent Alogenis, these 6 continents make up 59% of the planet's landmass. 2 moons Weiss and Apophis orbit the planet (Apophis following a closer orbit than humans would consider comfortable and has some ill effects on Jolles cursed by the moon) and Astrion itself orbits a white sun in an elliptic orbit.
The plant-like organisms on this planet are mostly different types of grass, but they could be compared to flowers, as they come in almost every color and they have incredible scents which Jolleraptors, especially the Billow subtype enjoy rubbing onto their fur. Trees and larger shrubs make up most of the higher layers, but flowers, fungi and bushes are nearly non-existent barring the few on the recently split continent Adora.
With the exception of a handful of species, none of them have developed into anything advanced. Most species still rely on simple photosynthesis to survive. A few species do have the basic beginnings of thorns and specialized leaves though, but it will be a long time before those are fully developed.
Corals, although very basic, can be found all over the planet's oceans, seas and lakes. While they lack the bright colors and odd shapes you'd find on Earth's corals, they do have the makings of a varied aquatic wildlife, with an abundance of gorgeous species. With the exception of a few very basic insect and fish species barring the oceans megalodon sized creature, this planet is only home to countless microbe species.
But while they may not be far into the evolutionary line, they do provide us with potential answers to the creation of this planet. The few insects and fish species show some slight forms of evolution, but they have a long way to go before they look like anything we've seen on Earth.
Land mammals that predate on Jolles commonly are seen with frills and are more evolved to be upright, with more saber like teeth to pierce different subtypes natural armour, while others tend to feed on the fish and insects. There are some herbivorous species on the planet as well that tend to live in the high trees and remain there for safety from the mammals below, though that doesn’t stop them being constantly bothered by the Jolleraptors that do climb to cause mischief!
