Planet Name: Bequver
Region: Haacht System
Sector: 53rd Sector
Inhabitants: N/A (formerly over 1.5 billion varsit)
Number of Colonies: N/A (formerly a homeworld covered in cities)
More Information:
Once a life-bearing desert world and home to the varsit species, Bequver orbits a dying star known as Haacht ("Enemy" in the varsit Low Tongue) which, as it expanded over billions of years, began to slowly roast Bequver and its inhabitants alive. As Bequver was within the inner edge of Haacht's habitable zone to begin with, the expansion of the cooling star pushed the habitable zone away from Bequver. Within the last 15 years, the varsit government issued an evacuation order, and more than a billion lifeforms were shipped away from the planet, now deemed unable to support life. The last generation of Bequver-born varsit is now scattered across the Neo Kosmos.
Bequver is a rocky planet with a molten metal core, moderate amounts of tectonic activity, a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, and a formerly stable magnetic field, making it ideal for recognizable Milky Way-type life. Once, several billion years ago, it sported small oceans and a sizeable amount of water locked underground, but all of that has been boiled away by its sun. Its gravity is lighter than Earth's was, as although the planet is comparable in size it is somewhat less dense. The amount of harmful radiation present on the surface is quite high in the present, and its protective atmosphere and magnetic field are in the process of being blasted away by Haacht.
The planet's surface is parched and sandy for the most part, though the occasional dried-up oasis pocks the surface, each surrounded by sprawling, abandoned cities. What little plant life it once supported was toxic to many known lifeforms due to excessive exposure to UV radiation, though most of it lies dead in the ground or has burned away into nothing.
Ground exploration of this planet is inadvisable without extensive protection from heat, light, and radiation.
