Dead Planet...

Water words without bacteria/life? I find that spooky. You can see this vast blue ocean with all it's peaceful sounds and visuals... but completely devoid of life.

Makes you wonder how a "dead" world could look so beautiful. What?

I've never seen a temperate planet with such bizarre resources... there has to be a story behind this. Something killed almost all the living things on this world, leaving only the fungi to feast on the dead....


Has anyone else ever come across a planet with a bizarre resource distribution?

Irradiated by a war between two long-dead ancient races?

That would be a good setting after the collapse of the EVE Gate. Two very capable races destroying each other fighting to control the resources of the planet. Back when they still had the technology to wage that kind of war.

It was my assumption as well that perhaps a war just after the EVE Gate collapsed is what caused this planet to be in it's current state..

A seemly inexplicable phenomenon on my doorstep has always puzzled me. In the system of Uriok, there are three Temperate worlds well outside the established RL habitable zone. They are grouped somewhere between 6 and 20AU from a star smaller and cooler than Sol, yet they have vegetation and liquid surface water. One planet alone may not have been such a mystery; as we could have imagined some stable geothermal phenomena provided the heat for liquid water, or perhaps a tidal locked orbit. But all three? Even the hottest, brightest star would have trouble heating the surfaces of bodies at those distances.

It's nice to know there are many other scientists attempting to make sense of all these unusual aspects of our universe. Good luck.

Not sure if this is possible or not, but what about internal heat from the planets from volcanoes and the sort, making sure that they could get heat and life going? Probably a thicker atmosphere as well, in order to trap and keep heat.

There's a far simpler solution to this mystery, I suspect: all the planets were randomly generated, and what you're seeing is the quirks of that procedural generation.

Not as simple, I think, but still pretty close. There could be some gravitational influence from nearby space objects (bigger planets, satellites, asteroid belts and more) that would cause the planets in question to experience great gravitational stress, which produces heat due to the matereial constriction and release (think of the tides on ocean worlds with big satellites). Such events, if frequent enough (periodic, for example), could produce the heat needed to sustain some life.

Of course, it could also make those planets not very capable of sustaining advanced forms of life that are too dependant on stability of their environment, because the core of a planet like that would be very hot and active. Incidentally, volcanic activity is also one of the necessary 'ingredients' in formation of 'primordial soup' within the atmosphere. Then again, there are other theories on how life appeared in our universe that do not involve the slow accidental process of aminoacid formation in a nitrogen-filled and electrified atmoshpere.

I'd have to look it up, but somewhere in the lore it mentioned that when the EVE-gate collapsed it pretty much decimated most of the surrounding systems and constellations. That could be the cause. Or it's just a fluke of the randomly generated planets.

As for being one of the systems destroyed during the wormhole events the answer is no. Those were only systems with blue suns.
