Xatlian Archives IK4V7ZBi7MJIa

"And within the Great Ark’s belly rested safely what was left of His people, the chosen pioneers. They emerged from the Ark to a land bountiful and plenty, escaping forever the storm that had swallowed the rest of the world."

The people of Xatl have long heard this creation story, or several versions of it. However, the truth of it has been lost to legend, never to be discovered again…

The year is 2440, and two rivaling countries each scramble to send a research team to a nearby planet, Barotyn, whose dense atmosphere leaves it shrouded in mystery. What they find there will forever change the past – and future – of the Xatlian race.

Enclosed in these Archives is a Compendium of Information and All the Discoveries made as the Xatlians travel to and explore Barotyn.

Alien Barotyn Planet Overview

Post by Gadreille Wed May 23, 2012 12:23 pm

Xatlian Archives IDdVdwgTBAbZp

Barotyn is the fifth planet in the seven planet solar system.

The planet is slightly farther from the sun than Xatl, but the volcanic activity keeps it warm. It's days are shorter, being 19.3.36 hours long for a full rotation. It takes longer for Barotyn to cycle around the sun, which makes it's weather slower to change. There is a decrease of nitrogen on the planet of Barotyn, which makes fires much easier to ignite and spread. It has a high amount of volcanic activity and its upper atmosphere is filled with ash.

The probes that have taken back pictures and samples have shown a plethora of bioluminescent plant life, from large trees to flowers to strange vegetation. There is also evidence of severe tropical storms in certain parts of the planet. There are believed to be large bodies of water, though one has not yet been located.

So far, there is no sign of intelligent life. However, when Xatlians arrive on Barotyn, they will find Barotyn humans and Barotyn’s natural inhabitants, a plethora of wildlife and a vicious race of semi sentient beings that the xatlians call the draconens.
