5th moon of Arkkanna, in between Trivonis and Alteraan Prime.

Torreah is the third largest moon in the Arkkannian System, boasting spectacular rings and a complex moon system. It is also known for its surface features, like the redundant glacial islands and icebergs that lie near the poles, to the thick jungles and grasslands on its islands. It is full of life, from the large-scale creatures to the microscopic, obtaining minuscule sizes and feasting on the ever-shining light from Arventhor and Tempris.

Lore

Torreah, also known as Torrah by the locals, is an oceanic habitable moon. It is dotted with islands of many sizes, along with atolls, sandbars, and reefs. Torreah also boasts quite a large ring system for a moon of its size and proximity to its parent planet, in this case, Arkkanna. The nights on Torreah are never truly dark, as there is normally one moon in the night sky. Torreah was one of many to be colonized first by Terrans, before their exodus back to their space, mainly Sol. Since then, the moon has been reclaimed by the Hypereans, who built large cities with towering heights. Some of these cities are fortified with large walls or defensive weaponry, as some predatory creatures attack the cities, though it is very uncommon, as the bright lights and noise drive them away. Torrean sunsets are another beauty, thanks to the different gases in the atmosphere, which allowed it to take on various colors, not only during those times but also during the day, as there is a deep blue hue in the sky.

Torreah also has complex life, like that of Hyperus or Alteraan Prime. The plants on this moon use carotenoids, much more than ones that use retinal. Plants with retinal are very widespread much north. This is so because of Torreah's very low axial tilt, and a much more even heating across the moon, along with light levels. Therefore, plants up north and south generally do not change color as often as the plants in the lower latitudes. Because of the lower gravity, many creatures take on large forms. The Castle Strider (Stridiotinus Garmestral), is a large, herbivorous creature, feasting on the plant matter below. Due to their gargantuan size and sluggish speed, they often have some sort of planet matter growing on them. While it may seem harmful or parasitic, the plants use the old, worn-down husk that lies on top. When it sheds its armor, the top normally stays on. The plants feast on the leftovers from the armor, along with using it as a base to grow on. In turn, they protect the Castle Striders by creating camouflage from above, making them hard to spot from aerial predators. Torreah is also known for its diverse aquatic life. Some islands are deserts, featuring some rock formations like mesas, or just regular dunes. Most of these islands are rich in reefs and coastal marine life, partially due to it being in the warm regions such as the islands, or the volcanoes nearby.

Torreah is such a beauty, and forever it shall be remembered as the Ocean of Rain and Saphires.
