Tremor

Tremor is a large volcanic planet located in sub-sector of the Koronus Expanse known as the Heathen Stars to the galactic north-west of the planet Vaporius. Located in a massive red-orange nebula mostly commonly referred to as the "Exploding Nebula". Officially classified as a Death World due to its hazardous environment and atmosphere, as well as the local flora and fauna, it none the less is home to a powerful miners guild that dominates the system and small portions of the surrounding area.

Overview
Tremor is the fifth planet from the systems binary stars, which it orbits once ever 2.1 standard Terran years. The planet is roughly twice the size of Terra and is orbited by two moons and a rocky ring of debris formed by the destruction of the third moon.

Climate and Atmosphere
Tremors atmosphere is comparable to that of Terra and is capable of supporting life, but particulates in the air caused by constant volcanic eruption has blanketed the world in thick clouds of Sulfurous Ash causing the world to be heated beyond human tolerance on the surface.

Geography
The surface of Tremor has no water, with all water being located in deep aquifers below the super-heated surface, typically where the Colonists build their settlements, the surface itself is an ever shifting landscape of volcanic rocks, rivers of lava and canyons formed by quakes.

Resources
Tremor has a large amount of natural resources, including Promethium and Fyceline typically used to make explosives, coal and various metals are also common, the high levels and concentrations of these resources have made many speculate as to which these are natural veins or if there is more to Tremor than what is apparent.

Biosphere
The harsh surface of Tremor is unsuitable for most native life, with most animals and plants being fossorial, subterranean lifeforms and fungus and mosses. Including the quadrupedal "Railtracer" a large mole like creature the size a Terran wolf, and is one of the planets main predators.

The Apex predator on the planet are the massive Wyverns, large magma dwelling reptiles whom live in deep caverns or on the surface in the case of the Winged Drakes. The Meat of which is considered a delicacy to the native humans, though the dangers of hunting Wyverns makes this meal few and far between.

Rock worms are large limbless creatures, typically 1 meter in length and is the main source of food for the Native humans, often made into a stew or chili along with a hardy, if bland tasting Spud like vegetable.

Population
Tremors population of humans lives several kilometers below the surface where the temperatures are more tolerable to human life, though protective gear is still needed within the mines and should they need to venture along the surface. Primarily Miners and Prospectors, the planet also has many refineries and factories used to produce Armor, Weapons, and Machines used in the defense and continued mining operations on Tremor and nearby planets.
