Vortís

Im a big fan of the clouds

Thank you @ChaseWilsons! That explains the reason of my time to time absence—busy making things more awesome!

The process is complex, @Spitty. The Antarius System is the center of the Tanis Nebula, and there is a lot of material in it. In some random places, you can find gigantic extraordinary biological structures built by microbes. Hyperant seeded some barren planets, as mere experiments. He would do this to preserve endangered life. Zeraphus, along with many other moons formed from the debris disk that Arkkana once had. They developed like normal moons (except Hyperus, Alteraan Prime, Torrah Prime, Kothran, and maybe Trivonis). Zeraphus, due to it being the innermost moon of the Arkkanian System, has a lot of volcanoes, and its placement in Arkkana's rings gives it a dusty, hazy, toxic atmosphere. The atmosphere allowed microbial life to thrive better than on airless worlds. The Ustrenpased (Barvunelis Ustrenpased) has a hardy anti-radiation shell to protect itself from the radiation. Some other plants would be the Awemtricae (Barvunelis Awemtricae), a similar plant that sacrificed most of its shell for leaves to get more energy. Because of their vulnerability to radiation, they live in shady areas like mountains, caves, and valleys. Rarely do they exist near lava fjords.
In summary, the rings carried microbial life for the moon Zeraphus.
Vortis was like Alteraan Prime before its core was exhausted. It was full of plants that had the pigment Retinol, a simpler, purple-colored pigment that was easier to produce than chlorophyll. Life on Vortis formed by Abiogenesis. Would you like me to say more?

@Hyperant I’m curious. Did they spread via Panspermia? Specifically by asteroid/meteorites/comets, or by being stowaways in spacecraft?

Thanks @Zenithspeed!

So to begin with, you already know that Vortìs is suffering a similar fate to Ares (Mars) @Spitty? If you do good! But anyway, most of the life is underground and underwater. The caves on Vortìs are beautiful. Due to the warm, dark, and possibly moist environment, they are littered with bioluminescent life, including fungi. Some species of the genus, "Barvunelis" is also found in Vortìs, along with Zeraphus, Trivonis, Erros, and other Andrean moons (Andrean Moons are the innermost moons before Kothran, moons beyond Kothran are Arugan Moons. Kothran is an Andrean Moon for reference). Barvunelis plants (genus, not species) are normally round or bulbous. The Ustrenpased species of the Barvunelis has thin grass-like leaves protruding out the top through a small opening. Some SUB-SPECIES of the Ustrenpased that are found on Vortìs are the Yaquili (Barvunelis Ustrenpased Yaquilis). Under the water also many plants and creatures. Some are hostile whereas some are grazers, eating the plant life. There are also microbes on Vortìs, to of which some may be harmful to humans.

@Hyperant Sure! I'd love to know more about this moon!

Sort-of and sort-of not @Spitty. Most of the surface plant life has hardy, thick layers of protection to battle radiation, and the harsh climate, like sandstorms. I can tell you more if you would like me too.

@Hyperant Does this moon have trees?

lol xd -- my pc says its Vietnamese??? @IMULAerospaceIndustries

@Hyperant my browser is wiggin out it has no idea how to handle the zalgo

@Hyperant my browser tried to translate that to Vietnamese 💀

but good planet tho :)

lol, thanks @Zenithspeed. I put extra effort into the details because, for some reason, this was my favorite, despite the lore saying its dying and gonna be a barren rock soon.
