Neo-Terra

Neo-Terra is the Arskodian homeworld, found in 2206 after earth was taken over by the Montergians. The Arskodians found this world in the core systems of the Beta quadrant and called it home. The planet originally had no intelligent life on it until the Arskodians came along and took over and built the first city, Artemis (now the capital of the entire republic). The planet is located 5,630Ly from earth, in the inner systems of the Beta Quadrant.

Planet composition
Neo-Terra is very similar to earth in terms of the fact that it's in the goldilocks zone around it's local star (Primus Arskodia) and in terms of it's mass and gravitational field strength, but in terms of the planets composition there are many differences. The oceans, for example, are composed of Phosphoric acid which the citizens of the planet extract and separate it into it's two components of phosphorous and water. The concentration of phosphorous in the oceans of the planet allow it to absorb some sunlight during the daytime and give off a faint purple glow at night. The soil of Neo-Terra is mostly carbon based, but has a strong ferrous concentration causing the planet to have a red and green colour when viewed from space. The atmosphere is very different to Earth and the seasons are easy to differentiate between. The "Winter" season is called "Frigus" and is very similar to earth's winter with very little difference other than the acidity of the snow and ice mean that a snowball fun would end with a trip to the hospital. Frigus lasts for approximately 74 days and quickly moves into the "Spring" season, called "Amica". Amica is very similar to Earth's spring and actually has little difference and lasts another two Neo-Terran months. The Neo-Terran Summer, Calidum, is much hotter than earth summer as it lasts much longer. Calidum lasts 3 Arskodian months, but reaches temperatures upwards of 50°C in the hottest deserts. These temperatures continue in the last part of the summer called "Cumbo" where is many parts of the world there are extremely heavy showers of phosphoric acid.
